Felix Mendelssohn - The Complete Symphonies (Christoph von Dohnanyi) (2010)
Classical | Eac. Flac, Image+Cue, Log | Scans | 1.08 GB
Label: DECCA | TT: 4:16:55

“This packed four cd set is a bargain in quantity and quality. Dohnanyi can be great, as in his Decca Mozart
symphonies 35-41, wind concerti and sinfonia concertnte k364 et al. I heard him live once with the Boston SO: a supremely dramatic and large-scaled Schubert Unfinished and a terrific Brahms Violin Concerto with Frank Peter Zimmermann. 		”

“Notes from the booklet by Tully Potter: Of all the chamber ensembles that rose from the ashes of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kolisch Quartet has the most exotic reputation, because it was closely associated with Schoenberg, Webern and Berg Yet in spite of this identification with the Second School of Viennese School and its echt Wienerisch style of playing, it was never entirely Viennese....”

“The Finnish contemporary composer Kalevi Aho's (b. 1949) fourth symphony from 1972-73 is here coupled with the composer's song cycle "Kiinalaisia lauluja" ("Chinese songs" - sung in Finnish, beautifully performed by Tiina Vahevaara) from 1997.This is contemporary music with a remarkable high musical quality and expressive impact - it is no wonder that Aho is regarded being Finland's leading composer of today. Because these two works are indeed original, deeply moving, powerful, and memorable........

Knudåge Riisager - Orchestral Music

Label:Dacapo - Date:2010

“Whether it's the exoticism of Darduse, or the gruff good humor of Slaraffenland, Knudage Riisager was a wonderful composer for the ballet. His brilliantly scored music glitters atmospherically, and his lilting rhythms never turn mechanical. The Concertino for Trumpet and Strings is also a charmer, making us hope to hear more of his abstract, non-theatrical works. This disc originally was released back in the late 1990s. The performances are all first-rate......

“ In a previous issue of Fanfare, I wrote an article about Franco Alfano suggesting that his music was unfairly neglected. It was the Metropolitan Opera’s new production of Cyrano de Bergerac with Placido Domingo that ignited my curiosity and sparked a thorough exploration of Alfano’s music. The more I heard of it, the more highly I regarded it. Alfano is most well known, unfortunately, for his completion of Puccini’s Turandot, a thankless task if ever there was one.

EAC 1.0b2 | FLAC tracks level 8 | Cue+Log+M3U | Full Scans 300dpi | 386MB + 5% Recovery
Genre: Classical, Choral

“Sibelius's choral music is deeply felt, nationalistic, and stirring. Subject matter ranges from the glory of the Northern lights (in "Oma maa" [Our Native Land]) to the Swedish-language "Sandels," in which a general, seemingly a coward, leads his men to victory through patience and odd timing, to the glories of the Earth ("Maan virsi"), to tales of characters from Finnish folklore. Most are for male choir, a couple are for mixed choir, and all are acompanied by large orchestra. Sibelius's ablity to tell a story is remarkable (it makes one wish he'd been more interested in opera), and desite the similarity in the forces used, the effects here are varied, from rousing to elegaic, to simply entertaining.”

Influenced at first by Szymanowski, Stravinsky and Prokofiev, Kilar went on to make use of serial techniques, often in conjunction with more traditional forms ........”

Label:Naxos - Date:2010

“From the very first notes, with their tolling bells, Casella’s Symphony No. 2 is deeply indebted to its model, Mahler’s own Symphony No. 2, whose Parisian première was championed by Casella during his years in the French capital. A notte alta (‘In deepest night’), which Casella described as ‘the only piece of programme music I have ever composed…inspired by emotional events in my personal life’ (Casella’s love for his Parisian student Yvonne Müller), is a work of intimate self-revelation and sombre meditation on ‘the utter indifference of Nature to human passions’.”

“Colin Davis’s 1969 recording remains a landmark event, the first time this grand opera of Meyerbeerian length, spectacular éclat and Wagnerian artistic ambition had found its way complete onto LP. It effectively changed views about Berlioz the opera composer and orchestral genius and has for many remained the yardstick by which all later performances have been judged. Although studio recorded, it was based on the Covent Garden casting of the day – Jon Vickers’s heroic Aeneas and Josephine Veasey’s voluptuous Dido – with a couple of Frenchmen to boost the ranks of lesser Trojans and Carthaginians...”

The premature death of this Israeli-American artist in 1990, during his 46th year, was a tragic loss to countless music-lovers, not only in America, Canada and Israel, where he enjoyed unusually well-informed and enthusiastic audiences, but also in many European cities where his performances invariably left indelible pleasurable memories. Natan Brand In Recital, predominantly compiled from live performances, is a telling and vivid reminder of his unique art. [Booklet Notes - Introduction by Geoffrey Dorffman]”
