The New Year starts off right with a fresh volume in Kristian Bezuidenhout’s acclaimed Mozart series for harmonia mundi. Keyboard Music Vol.4 includes a varied selection of sonatas and other solo works performed with wit and charm (p.13). Also on harmonia mundi, the dynamic duo of Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov delight in a disc of chamber music by Weber (p.12). Hyperion’s stunning collection of Britten’s music for cello featuring Alban Gerhardt is clearly destined to be an award-winner (p.15). The synergy between harpist Lavinia Meijer and composer Philip Glass is powerful on Meijer’s new album of transcriptions for Channel Classics (p.7). Worthy of special note are Christophe Rousset’s latest operatic discovery, Dauvergne’s Hercule mourant (p.5), and a set of the complete Mahler symphonies on DVD and Blu-ray featuring the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (p.19). Non classical priorities include jazz trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf’s soundtrack to René Clair’s 1927 film The Prey of the Wind (p.22), the US début of French jazz vocalist Virginie Teycheyné (p.23) and an anthology featuring the legendary Algerian crooner Lili Boniche on World Village (p.28).

Couperin wrote these two Suites at the end of his life when his talent was at its peak. Couperin’s mastery is especially evident in the fantastic and mysterious “Pompe funèbre” movement in the second Suite. The disc, fully remastered for SACD, also features master harpsichordist Ton Koopman and is a must-have for anyone interested in Baroque music.

AUDITION

IMPORTFollowing on the international success of their recording of Lully’s Bellérophon, Christophe Rousset and his ensemble Les Talens Lyriques present Hercule mourant (Hercules Dying) — an undiscovered operatic treasure by Antoine Dauvergne. When Francoeur and Rebel took over as directors of the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opéra) in 1757, they decided to promote some of the new generation of composers. Among them was Dauvergne, who appears to have enjoyed great favor at that time. Premiered in 1762, Hercule mourant was a success, receiving eighteen performances. The opera’s libretto, written by Jean-François Marmontel, extended the scope of French opera: he was the first to have the courage to bring opera closer to the great spectacles of ancient Greece. Inspired and guided by Marmontel’s libretto, Dauvergne clearly aimed to take the genre in a completely new direction, anticipating the Romantic model for opera that was born with Gluck, while at the same time giving one of the last tributes to the great French tragédie lyrique tradition inherited from Lully.

“Les Talens Lyriques are among the most stylish of Baroque ensembles, while Rousset himself is an exquisite performer.”

IMPORTSchumann’s Missa Sacra was written in the composer’s late period, during a period when he was particularly focused on writing religious music. Never performed before his death, the work came to light thanks to the insistence of Clara Schumann, who not only made sure it was published, but also submitted it (under a pseudonym) to a composing competition run by an English society in its later version for choir and organ. On this recording, Geoffroy Jourdain and his period instrument ensemble Les Cris de Paris make it clear why Clara Schumann felt this was a masterpiece. Jourdain pairs the mass with another late work, Schumann’s splendid a capella choral cycle entitled Vier doppelchörige Gesänge.

IMPORTBorn in 1959, Arnaud Petit studied with Luciano Berio. In addition to composing, he has taught at IRCAM, Stanford University and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. Petit’s oeuvre includes opera, vocal, orchestral and chamber music as well as film soundtracks. Concertino Nervoso, the major work on this disc, is based on the dramatic potential of percussion. In it, a solo percussionist, played here by Fabrice Marandola, acts as a kind of deus ex machina. Pairing the soloist with electronics, Concertino Nervoso explores an imaginary link between percussion and various sound worlds, between live performance and its computer double.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSDSince their first encounter in May 2011, rising star harpist Lavinia Meijer has worked with some frequency with Philip Glass, even though he has never written solo works specifically for the harp. Many of his piano works and piano transcriptions, however, after minor adjustments, prove to be well suited to the modern pedal harp. Very keen on playing modern music, Meijer added Glass’s five-movement Metamorphosis to her repertoire, and after a first and successful performance (in the composer’s presence) at The Melkweg, Amsterdam’s ‘pop temple,’ a first official recording was made for Channel Classics in June 2011. This all-Glass CD further demonstrates the perfect connection between Meijer and this repertoire.

“Lavinia Meijer is a superb player; under her sensitive fingers, the harp becomes a small orchestra…”

IMPORTDutton’s third CD exploring Alan Bush’s music features the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under the baton of Martin Yates. It includes two vivid orchestral works — dating from the 1930s and 1950s — together with the Lascaux Symphony, his fourth. The Lascaux Symphony was inspired by the celebrated cave paintings at Lascaux, France. A four-movement work on a big scale, it addresses significant philosophical as well as musical issues with bold memorable themes and brilliant orchestral writing.

IMPORTCelebrated violist Roger Chase again presents repertoire associated with the great Lionel Tertis, played on Tertis’s own Montagnana viola. The Bax Phantasy is the highlight, with its lyrical slow movement based on a lovely Irish folk song. Vaughan Williams’s eight-movement Suite for Viola and Orchestra, too, has elements of folksong, this time English, and is both virtuosic and catchy. Theodore Holland’s substantial tone poem Ellingham Marshes is a wartime musical picture of the dreamy and wistful atmosphere of the Suffolk marshes.

IMPORTOn this superb recording, Martin Yates and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra perform symphonies by Georgy Catoire and Felix Blumenfeld. These contemporaries are remembered as pianists, yet both were so much more. Catoire’s Symphony in C minor is in four large-scale movements redolent of the great Russian nationalist composers. Just two years younger than Catoire, Blumenfeld’s Symphony in C minor, subtitled À la mémoire des chers défunts, is a stupendous score honoring those killed in the failed 1905 Revolution.

IMPORTMartin Yates leads the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in an all-Arnell program. The Sinfonia — effectively Arnell’s ‘Symphony No.0’ — was long thought lost. In 2009, Arnell’s daughter found this score among the papers of her late mother in Lincoln City, Nebraska. The Dagenham Symphony is a very approachable score, and features music that was used in the film documentary Opus 68. These two works are coupled with a selection of symphonic works that are for all intents and purposes, ‘unnumbered’ symphonies.

IMPORT111 Minutes/ Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0/ DTS 5.1 Surround; Subtitles: English/ French/ German/ Italian/ Spanish

It is indeed ‘a curious story,’ as the prologue for The Turn of the Screw explains. The opera features a remote English country house, an old and faithful housekeeper, two young orphan children and an eager new governess sent down from London to look after them. But all is not quite as it seems in the sheltered world of Bly. Spirits from the past increasingly encroach upon the realm of the living, and one question keeps worming its way into the governess’s mind: what exactly did happen between the children, their former governess and the deceased manservant, Peter Quint? Britten’s brilliantly scored, insidiously compelling adaptation of Henry James’s novella takes its themes of childish innocence and adult corruption, then twists and turns them to disturbing and ultimately devastating effect. FRA Musica presents Jonathan Kent’s eerily unsettling staging of the work, recorded at the Glyndebourne Festival with the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jakub Hrusa.

fra musica

Was Carl Maria von Weber born only to compose Der Freischütz? So, at least, many people have thought, forgetting the existence of a catalogue of more than 300 compositions in every genre. The Piano Quartet,

written when Weber was only 22, already displays the first signs of the fantastic Romanticism that E.T A. Hoffmann was exploring at the same time. As for the delightful Violin Sonatas of 1810, refused by the publisher for their blatant originality (!), they airily mix different styles in an exotic multinational rendezvous. On this delightful recording, violinist Isabelle Faust partners once again with Alexander Melnikov. For the Piano Quartet, this extraordinary duo is joined by Isabelle’s brother Boris Faust on viola and cellist Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt.

“It is Faust’s unmannered, focused artistry that commands attention… she has a way of pulling you deeper into each piece as she goes, varying and intensifying her

phrasing until abstract figures speak in anxious sentences.”—THE NEW YORKER

The program includes Piano Sonatas in D major K.311 and G major K.283 and the lovely Variations on ‘Je suis Lindor’ in E flat Major, K.354. As with the other volumes in this exceptional series, Bezuidenhout brings out colors and shadings in these works that are only possible when performed on a fortepiano.

“Kristian Bezuidenhout plays Mozart on the fortepiano like no-one else... with all the sensitivity, expressivity, flair and stylistic integrity that has marked him out

is brilliantly and eloquently served.”—THE SCOTSMAN

IMPORTThis second volume of Hyperion’s Dohnányi piano music series focuses on early works from the period 1897 to 1907, when he was still establishing himself within the great lineage of composer-pianists. Martin Roscoe is the ideal performer, the acknowledged master of this deeply appealing and unfairly neglected repertoire. A highlight of the album is the Variations and Fugue on a theme of EG, Op 4 — a monumental work that would soon be hailed by the Viennese press as, “the most valuable enrichment of music literature since Brahms.”

IMPORTThis recording from the Westminster Cathedral Choir demonstrates the splendors of the liturgy in the simultaneously solemn and joyful period of Lent. On Miserere, masterworks from the Renaissance — familiar from Westminster Cathedral Choir’s previous award-winning recordings — alternate with works by former organists of the cathedral (all themselves masters of liturgical composition) and all are linked by the plainchant that is at the spiritual heart of this music. Hearing music like this in context — recorded in the unique acoustic of the cathedral — perfectly replicates the live experience for the listener.

IMPORTBritten’s long friendship with cellist Mstislav Rostropovich was one of the most inspiring and fruitful musical collaborations in history. It led directly to the composition of some of the most important works for cello of the twentieth century. On this superb recording, Alban Gerhardt performs this body of works in its entirety. In the Cello Sonata he is partnered by Steven Osborne, whose Hyperion recording of Britten’s Piano Concerto received a Gramophone Award. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Andrew Manze join Gerhardt for the Cello Symphony, Britten’s only substantial piece of absolute symphonic music. The astonishing Suites for solo cello complete the set. These works acknowledge their debt to Bach but also demonstrate all the imagination and emotional scope for which the composer is revered.

IMPORTThe Latvian choral tradition is admired worldwide. Not only are the country’s many choirs known for their striking vocal prowess, Latvian composers for this genre have created a significant repertoire of overwhelmingly spiritual music — perhaps a reaction to the suppression of that material by the Soviets. On this recording, the Latvian State Choir led by Maris Sirmais perform music by the British composer Gabriel Jackson, who has immersed himself in the contemporary Baltic sound-world. Jackson’s sumptuous choral textures and beautiful, yet individual, harmonic language respond thrillingly to the “Latvian treatment.”

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo/ DSDThe fifth release in Praga’s Richter Edition, which presents SACD remasters of classic albums by the great Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, features live recordings of Beethoven sonatas from the 60s and 70s. This disc includes three of the ‘late’ sonatas, including a particularly memorable Hammerklavier. The program also features the Piano Sonatas Nos.27 and 28 in performances that display Richter’s prodigious interpretive talents to the fullest.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo/ DSDPraga presents the first release in a series of recordings by the legendary pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, specially remastered for SACD. Michelangeli is widely considered to be one of the finest pianists of the 20th Century. Owing to his obsessive perfectionism, relatively few studio recordings were released during Michelangeli’s lifetime. However, these are augmented by numerous recordings (both authorized and bootleg) of live performances. This disc collects ‘approved’ live recordings of works by Ravel and Debussy from 1960, carefully remastered to DSD from mono and stereo tapes.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ MonoA live recording from 1951, this release hails from the latter portion of the artistic collaboration between the Vienna Philharmonic and Wilhelm Furtwängler, who was principal conductor of the orchestra from 1933 to 1945 and 1947 to 1954. It was Furtwängler who saved the orchestra from disbandment by the National Socialists in 1938, and saved those members who were half Jewish or otherwise related from expulsion. Originally released by Orfeo Records, this performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 is now available on SACD in a special remastering from Tahra.

IMPORTThe 1902 Paris Opera première of Pelléas et Mélisande opened up new horizons to the great French conductor Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht, and musical theatre became his great interest. Inghelbrecht was appointed musical director of first the Théâtre des Arts, then the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, the Opéra-Comique and later the Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française. Perhaps the fact that Inghelbrecht’s mother was English is the reason he was so fond of Mary Garden’s Mélisande, and why one can find in Suzanne Danco’s performance on this recording something of the poetry and the spirit that characterized Garden’s unfailing charm.

IMPORTTogether with John Cage, Earle Brown and Christian Wolff, Morton Feldman is a member of the New York School of contemporary music. Feldman’s music is characterized by minimalist structures — although he was never close to the minimalism of Reich or Glass — and contemplative sounds (without being meditational). His works are based on the concept of “less-ness,” i.e., they do not aim to express anything and follow no logic of musical development. Nevertheless, his works are of utmost complexity and require an extremely sensitive interpretation that is focused down to the last detail. The piano pieces compiled on the present two CDs and played with consummate virtuosity by Sabine Liebner offer a cross-section of his entire compositional output.

IMPORTBenjamin Schweitzer began his musical studies at the junior department of the Lubeck Music Academy. At age sixteen, he received several prizes at composition and instrumental competitions for young musicians. He completed his studies at the Dresden Music Academy and spent a year studying with Paavo Heininen at the Sibelius Academy. The chamber music works compiled on this recording, performed by the Ensemble Courage led by Titus Engel, were written between 2005 and 2008. They document the composer’s quest for something one could describe as “beauty.” Schweitzer leaves aside components such as melodic elements and virtuoso figurations in favor of extremely fine gradations of a few chosen sounds and textures.

IMPORTIn 1985, György Ligeti produced a collection of six piano Études, to which he added two further volumes in the following sixteen years. Whereas the piano étude tradition of the 19th century was continued by Bartók, Debussy and Stravinsky at the beginning of the 20th century, this tradition no longer existed by the end of the 20th century. Ligeti not only wanted to revive a great musical tradition but also to explore its potential in a contemporary form. His piano writing is not only polyphonic in the customary sense, but also polyrhythmic, poly-temporal, and even poly-ethnic. On this recording from Wergo, pianist Thomas Hell makes a powerful case for these fascinating works.

IMPORTMichaels Reise um die Erde (Michael’s Journey Around the World) is the second act of the opera Donnerstag from the seven-part opera cycle Licht by Karlheinz Stockhausen. It is a cosmic world theatre in which three protagonists each have been assigned a characterizing melody (a musical “formula”) which unfolds through the musical action of the entire opera cycle. The ensemble musikFabrik is heard here in a live recording from the Théâtre Bobigny in Paris.

IMPORTFile in: JazzAsked by the French national film library to compose music for a film of his choosing from among

the silent movies in the Albatros catalogue, jazz trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf chose René Clair’s 1927 film La Proie du vent (The Prey of the Wind). The project allowed Maalouf to fulfill two wishes — first to compose for a film, and second to compose a piece that could be very much inspired by Miles Davis’s music for Louis Malle’s Ascenseur pour l’échafaud, but using a quarter-tone trumpet. Maalouf says of the album’s theme, “I wanted to reproduce that mysteriously melancholic atmosphere, dripping with suspense, contributing a discreet yet powerful Arabic hue, blended into the typical jazz quintet played for many years by Miles.”

“Maalouf is pursuing something that feels exciting, intelligent, and vital...”—SONGLINES

DOMESTICFile in: JazzBass prodigy Dezron Douglas hails from Hartford, Connecticut. A product of the Jackie McLean Institute, Douglas quickly established himself as a dominant voice on the jazz scene of New York City. He began to work with such giants as Louis Hayes, Pharaoh Sanders, Louis Nash, Kevin Mahagony and a slew of others. As a leader, Douglas is presented here with a band of his peers: the highly original Stacy Dillard, the fiery (and also McLean alum) Josh Evans, pianist David Bryant and the veteran drummer Willie Jones III. This memorable live date at the legendary Smalls Jazz Club is exciting, full of fire and drama and wonderful swinging moments.

DOMESTICFile in: JazzNative of Toronto, Canada, Grant Stewart started making a name for himself as a robust and creative tenor saxophone player at an early age. Drawing his influences from Don Byas, Coleman Hawkins and Sonny Rollins, Stewart has a diverse and deep repertoire of old American song classics and bebop tunes. He has performed with a number of jazz greats including Jimmy Cobb and Donald Byrd. A frequent performer at Smalls Jazz Club, Stewart’s album features his regular working band including the legendary Tardo Hammer on piano, young bass prodigy David Wong and Grant’s brother Phil Stewart on drums.

DOMESTICFile in: JazzVeteran bassist Tyler Mitchell recently turned to New York City after a hiatus of ten years. Before leaving New York, Mitchell was one of the top bass players on the scene. He recorded a number of albums and toured with legends such as Art Taylor’s Wailors, Barry Harris, Steve Grossman and many others. On this bristling live date, Mitchell appeared at Smalls Jazz Club partnered with a band of younger musicians including the brilliant tenor (and former Art Taylor alum) Abe Burton, drummer Eric McPherson, pianist Spike Wilner and the young trumpet phenom Josh Evans. This is an enjoyable set of catchy originals and vibrant standards.

DOMESTICFile in: JazzVeteran tenor saxophonist David Schnitter has the distinction of being the longest standing member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. Schnitter is also an accomplished composer, writing for string quartets and well as for jazz quartets. On this live date at Smalls Jazz Club, Schnitter reveals a depth of feeling and maturity that is rare to hear. His original work is compelling and often startling. He is accompanied by his veteran group consisting of pianist Spike Wilner, bassist Ugonna Okegwo, drummer Anthony Pinciotti and his wife, vocalist Marti Mabin. This is a set of jazz music that touches the heart and is of the very highest quality level.

IMPORTFile in: RockIn 1969 , l egenda r y p s y c h e d e l i c / e a r l y progressive rock band Baba Scholae recorded an album at IBC Sound Recording Studios in London — however, it was never officially released. The band’s leader was Jean-Yves Labat de Rossi, better known as M Frog, the synth and keyboard maestro on Todd Rungren’s early Utopia albums and coincidentally, the founder of the Ad Vitam label. Only three copies (acetates) of 69 where made, but the album’s cult following lasts to this day. Often compared to the work of King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine and Gong, Baba Scholae’s 69 is truly a “lost and found again” masterpiece with music that was years ahead of its time. For a gem like this to have been buried for 43 years is nothing short of extraordinary.

IMPORTFile in: World / Africa / AlgeriaCrooner Lili Boniche (1921-2008) was the heir to an erudite tradition of Algerian song and a pillar of “Franco-Arab” music. Born into a Sephardic family in the Casbah in Algiers, Boniche was a child prodigy who taught himself to play his father’s mandola at the age of seven. He was an in-demand singer throughout France in the 1940s and during wartime. Boniche incorporated the tango, paso doble and mambo into his repertoire, especially while entertaining the troops. He retired in the 50s, only to launch a second career in 1990 and release the album Boniche Dub in 1998, produced by Bill Laswell and fashion doyen Jean Touitou. The album earned him new fans across Europe. This retrospective combining his greatest hits and previously unreleased works not only fills a gap with regard to available recordings, but it pays tribute to an important pioneer of cultural fusion.

The musically sensational and politically outspoken band Massilia Sound System has been stirring up Marseille since 1984. While their lyrics are largely in Occitan, the main ambition of these seven composers and performers is to revive cross-cultural exchanges via the power of the city’s rich cultural melting-pot, thus restoring tolerance and joie de vivre. Their motto is to rouse the people and bridge the generation gap, a theme that is constant in their brisk and lively music and their infectious optimism on stage. Featured here are four of the band’s classic albums, reissued at mid-price and including newly released material. The titles range from 2000’s 3968 CR13 to two live albums, Massilia fait tourner and Oai e Libertat, both of which include DVDs (PAL format) with newly available video footage.
