ORCHESTRAL CHOICE - BBC Music Magazine
CLASSICAL CD OF THE WEEK - Sunday Times

'Robert Threlfall's notes make a good case for regarding the three-movement original as having a greater validity, and this splendid first recording bears him out … Piers Lane, an eloquent advocate' (BBC Music Magazine)

'This Hyperion newcomer possesses many virtues. Piers Lane responds with nimble sensitivity, David Lloyd-Jones secures a tidy response from the Ulster Orchestra and the performance as a whole has a sparkle, eagerness and snap that are most refreshing' (Gramophone)

'Those who are familiar with (and those who have dismissed) Delius's Piano Concerto in the 1907 revision should make the acquaintance of the original version without more ado' (International Record Review)

'Lane makes a convincing case for the piece, and his performance is paired with an equally sparky one of John Ireland's concerto. His punchy abrasiveness undercuts the work's more fey moments, and gives it an almost neoclassical edge' (The Guardian)

'this first recording of the original version from 1904 reveals a work stamped with far more rhapsodic gusto and genuine heartache than the composer's misguided revisions suggest. Lane's performance is very enjoyable; the recording does the players proud' (The Times)

'Delius's Piano Concerto gets strong advocacy from Lane, Lloyd-Jones and the Ulster Orchestra. The two Ireland works, Legend and the Piano Concerto, make ideal companions on this highly attractive, collectable disc' (Sunday Times)

'it is interesting to hear Delius in a robust frame of mind, and the performance itself is one of great allure and power' (The Daily Telegraph)

'Lane gives engagingly virtuoso, extrovert and affectionate performances throughout' (Classic FM Magazine)

'Throughout, Piers Lane is sympathetic, sensitive and a virtuoso, and the support from David Lloyd-Jones and the Ulster Orchestra is exact. The vivid recording presents an exemplary balance between piano and orchestra' (Fanfare, USA)

Those who heard this young Dutch violinist play The Lark Ascending at the Proms in July will appreciate that here is an artist of real magnetism. The booklet’s provocative portraits and emphasis on personal profile suggest just another young performer chosen more for looks than musical gifts. Happily, the playing tells a different story. Janine Jansen launches her sequence of popular items with an account of the ‘Danse Russe’ from Swan Lake which could hardly be more flamboyant, yet which also brings moments of the most delicate poetry.
The recorded balance is close, with the orchestra, like the soloist, larger than life. This especially suits the more exuberant works like the two Saint-Saëns showpieces, in which Jansen is bold and fearless. She plays the Shostakovich Romance with an apt, songful simplicity, which also graces the theme from John Williams’s music for Schindler’s List.
Jansen’s rubato is carefully controlled but never sounds over-studied; the rhapsodic introduction to Ravel’s Tzigane sounds genuinely improvisatory and has pianissimi of hushed intensity. Curiously, given her Proms success with The Lark Ascending, it is there that I miss the meditative, inner quality that marks the finest performances. Instead, her fresh, warm approach evokes the music’s folk elements. She is a violinist with a big personality who I am sure will be heard soon on disc in far more substantial works.

Marc-André Hamelin (piano), BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Michael Stern (conductor)

“

GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE

'Described by one respected critic as the greatest living pianist, Marc-André Hamelin soars to ever new heights of virtuosity … Hamelin is superbly partnered and recorded, and lovers of lush, romantic melody embellished with hundreds and thousands of winking sequins need look no further' (Gramophone Magazine)

'Marc-André Hamelin gives a dazzling account' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Hamelin's legendary technique thrills at every turn, and in the Rubinstein his scorching virtuosity and emotional intensity mesmerises from beginning to end. Anyone who loves Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninov should investigate this stunning disc without delay!' (Classic FM Magazine)

'Rubinstein's Fourth Concerto can hold its own against Tchaikovsky's infinitely better known First and, on the strength of this recording, deserves to regain a place in the classical repertoire. There is musical swagger, pathos, poetry and heroism in both of the works couple on this album' (Music Week)

'Hamelin, who makes out the best possible case for the music, is now the version to have. In any case, his many admirers will flock, and rightly, to acquire this excellently recorded disc of two fairly unfamiliar concertos which, whatever their virtues and failings, provide ideal vehicles for Hamelin's abundant talents' (International Record Review)

'We have been in need of a modern recording by a pianist of the stature of Hamelin who can deliver Rubinstein's passion, impetuosity, quick changes of mood, and technical demands with ease. He gives a performance of the last movement that is so rousing that it has never sounded so convincing on disc … an excellent disc that is highly recommended' (International Piano)

'This will appeal to experts as well as those who only know, say, the Rachmaninov or Tchaikovsky concertos. Another fabulous disc (and as usual excellent sleeve-notes). Rolls-Royce stuff' (HMV Choice)

'Virtuoso repertoire, virtuoso playing - there's breathtaking snap and clarity to the rhythms, imposing weight to the climaxes … surely one of the peaks of Hyperion's 'Romantic Piano Concerto' series. All in all, urgently recommended' (Fanfare, USA)

“

More than any other, music from the Romantic era conjures up emotions and memories. It has an immediacy and the ability to carry you away. To me, Tchaikovsky is an outstanding example of this. When I was still a child, I dreamed of the moment I could play his Violin Concerto.” Janine Jansen used to listen to the piece frequently and would watch intently as others took on the challenge. “When I was thirteen I attended my first summer school in the US. A few older teenagers were already working on the Violin Concerto. I borrowed the music and tried to play a few sections, with a view to raising my game by listening to the others. But I wasn’t ready yet.” That, in itself, is nothing to be ashamed of. Tchaikovsky’s Op.35 is considered to be one of the most challenging and lyrical works in the violin repertory. The composer wrote it in 1878 and even gave it priority over another composition — something he had never done before. “It was stronger than myself”, he wrote to friends. At the time, Tchaikovsky was staying in the Swiss town of Clarens with his former student, the young violinist Yosif Kotek, who was closely consulted on the technical aspects of the work.

Despite this help, the planned premiere by the celebrated Leopold Auer fell through because he found the piece unplayable and “unviolinistic.” It would be a long time before both Auer and the music establishment changed their minds. The vitriol poured on the Concerto by the music critic Eduard Hanslick has become notorious: “The violin is no longer played, it is rent asunder, beaten black and blue.” The work was “hideous, music that stinks to the ear.” The highly sensitive Tchaikovsky could quote the review word for word and, despite the audience’s enthusiastic reception, remained deeply wounded by it for the rest of his life.

Jansen has now performed the work many times. “These are special, symbolic moments for me. The first time was in 2000 with the Kirov Orchestra, at the invitation of Valery Gergiev. At first I thought:

I’ll never manage it. The work is long, emotional and technically virtuosic. Not to mention, extremely tricky to memorise. You really need to stay on the ball. Gergiev allowed me to forget the audience and my nerves, as he immersed me in the music. It’s exhilarating to surpass yourself like that.” Jansen also performed the Concerto when she made her London debut with Vladimir Ashkenazy, garnering worldwide praise. “That concert also marked the start of my recording career. Since then I’ve played the piece with various orchestras and conductors, but it never loses its intensity. That’s why it’s great to have a live recording. Of course you are extremely focused during a studio recording, but the concert hall allows more spontaneity. You are inspired by the audience’s anticipation.”

Her relationship with the work has changed over time. “I have the courage to let go of the technical aspects a bit more, which allows me to explore all of its different moods. To immerse myself in the music rather than just work with it.

And that’s essential. The Violin Concerto does not permit routine, it forces you to remain committed, to give everything. That’s my style.”

The piece is rightfully described as an emotional work. Tchaikovsky wrote it during a difficult period in his life. He had recently married one of his conservatory students, in an attempt to deny and suppress his homosexuality. Barely nine weeks later, he could stand it no longer and attempted suicide by trying to catch pneumonia in an icy river. The attempt failed, but the composer suffered a nervous breakdown. His brother Modest took him on a trip to recuperate, a long way away from his wife. “All the same, it’s not a depressing piece”, Jansen reflects. “It’s never maudlin. Intimate and melancholic would be more accurate descriptions. And that’s how I like to play it: without any hysteria or overblown emotions, but simply and honestly.”

The Concerto consists of three movements. “The Allegro moderato is actually a violin concerto in its own right,” according to Jansen. “Tempestuous, passionate, driven, and with a long cadenza in the middle. Most other composers would elaborate a little on this, but Tchaikovsky actually produces a lengthy follow-on, offering a slight variation on what you’ve heard before. A real challenge.” The Finale is similarly distinct, but for Jansen the second movement is the heart of the work. “I love that moment of tranquillity.

From the moment the violin comes in, Tchaikovsky links powerful emotions to a sense of space and simplicity. Such modest means yet so much expression!

It’s extremely intimate, for both listener and musician.” Jansen thinks that it is therefore all the more remarkable that this middle movement was only added later. “The earlier version had another Andante. But both Tchaikovsky and his friend Kotek thought it didn’t work.” Tchaikovsky composed a new slow movement, the Canzonetta, and rewrote his first version for violin and piano which, as “Méditation”, became the first movement of Souvenir d’un lieu cher. “Like the Violin Concerto it is incredibly beautiful. This makes it extra special for me to record both works. The Romanian-Dutch conductor Alexandru Lascae has made a wonderful version for strings of Souvenir, which I have enjoyed playing for years. This is partly why its colour is so completely different from that of the Violin Concerto — more transparent and tranquil. But sensitivity and intimacy epitomise both compositions.”

Jansen is delighted to record the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Daniel Harding. She has worked with him once before, and feels they have a unique musical understanding. “It is so incredibly natural to play with him. We speak the same language in music.” This is Jansen’s first collaboration with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. “Our paths had crossed before. We socialised together whenever we happened to perform in the same city. In the Netherlands I organise my own chamber music festival where my approach is similar to that of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra: intense, like a family relationship. The players are not just a unit, but above all a meeting of great musicians, of people who really want to speak through their music, who sit on the edge of their seat and communicate that to the audience. That, to me, is the essence of playing music together.”

Vivaldi: Concerti da camera

“

When is a concerto not a concerto? The answer is, when it is a concerto da camera, or a chamber concerto. In the traditional Baroque concerto, one or more soloists are contrasted with an orchestra—usually comprised of strings and continuo. In a chamber concerto, the orchestra is replaced by a much smaller ensemble, and one that is comprised of a variety of instruments, not just strings. This means that concertante-style music is accessible to a handful of musicians. For whatever reason, Vivaldi had this genre pretty much to himself in Baroque Italy, although it was more popular elsewhere in Europe.

The Romantic Piano Concerto · Vol. 37 · Nápravník & Blumenfeld
FLAC | Booklet | 293 MB | 2005

Evgeny Soifertis (piano), BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Alexander Titov (conductor)

“

'it's hard to dismiss music that tries so hard to be likeable. Certainly, if you've been collecting the rest of Hyperion's 'Romantic Piano Concerto' series, you'll enjoy this latest addition as well. There are strong notes and typically fine Hyperion engineering' (International Record Review)

'Napravnik's Concerto symphonique throws just about everything into the melting pot, from Verdi's Requiem to Tchaikovsky. The Fantaisie opens arrestingly with a massive rendition of The Volga Boatmen, and if Blumenfeld's Allegro proves slightly less individual, in performances as fiery and impassioned as these, it makes an indelible impact' (Classic FM Magazine)

'Star of the show is pianist Evgeny Soifertis … His bravura style is all there, but some pianissimo playing and tender melodic phrasing, not least in the slow movements, might have lifted the works out of obscurity' (Pianist Magazine)

'Evgeny Soifertis throws it all off in great style and musical intelligence' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Evgeny Soifertis' effervescent, colourful virtuosity never fails to delight' (Classics Today USA)

'Hyperion's recorded sound is excellent, soloist Evgeny Soifertis contributes impeccably manicured playing, and the orchestra performs with immaculate accuracy under Russian maestro Alexander Titov. So if you are interested in exploring the Romantic concerto literature at its most obscure, here's your opportunity' (Fanfare, USA)

Howard Shelley (piano), Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Howard Shelley (conductor)

“

'You have to hand it to Howard Shelley. It's one thing to lead a concerto from the keyboard, but to do this when the solo part is so demanding and with such insouciance is quite another thing … Completed by Henry Roche's trenchant and engaging booklet notes, this is an issue which I cannot praise too highly' (Gramophone)

'Imagine Paganini's Rossinian verve, Schumann's poetic sensibility and Mendelssohn's gentle humanity rolled into one, and you won't be far from the sound-world of these wonderful concertos' (Classic FM Magazine)

'Directing the performances from the keyboard, Shelley takes every prestidigitational hurdle with immaculate precision and aristocratic aplomb. He displays an exemplary range of touch and fluidity, communicates an intense pleasure in the music and indeed seems to revel in its abundant charm. The recording is of the same excellent standard as previous releases in this series. Listeners who have already enjoyed the other Moscheles concertos will not hesitate; if you haven't, this is a good place to start' (International Record Review)

'Pianist-conductor Howard Shelley... delivers very fine and sensitive performances on a Steinway piano. This recorded is a valuable addition for listeners interested in building their collection of nineteenth-century concertos or in tracing the history of the genre' (Nineteenth-century Music Review)

'All in all, if you're curious about this repertoire, I'd recommend you turn to the Hyperion series. This latest installment is as good a place as any to start' (Fanfare, USA)

Howard Shelley (piano), Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Howard Shelley (conductor)

“

'If you've enjoyed previous volumes in Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto Series, you'll certainly warm to this delightful release' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Shelley makes even the most plainspun of phrases sound like long-lost treasure being discovered anew. First-rate accompaniment and resplendent sonics round out an unexpected delight' (Classic FM Magazine)

'There are few more dextrous or musicianly pianists then Shelley … and I am more than grateful for an artist who, like Herz himself, can make you think 'that a bird had escaped from his fingers and went undulating and singing through the air' (The New York Times in 1946)' (Gramophone)

'... Shelley et les Tasmaniens jouent avec une verve, une beauté de sonorité, un noble abandon qui attisent les bravos' (Diapason, France)

'Howard Shelley, who performs the dual role of piano soloist and orchestral director, delights in the charm and the considerable technical challenge of it all, and with his always fluent and controlled fingerwork, he makes it sound easy' (International Record Review)

Dutilleux, Bartók, Stravinsky: Violin Concertos (2005)

Dutilleux, Bartók, Stravinsky - Violin Concertos (2005)
Classical | EAC (APE & CUE) | 283 MB

Perhaps this disc needs no explanation. Henri Dutilleux's Sur le même accord is a short piece for violin and orchestra that is, as the title suggests, based on one "chord", which Mutter rather more simply describes as an 'aria' (the piece's subtitle is 'Nocturne'). Indeed there is much lyrical writing that displays Mutter's expressive warmth that underpins this mysterious and yet illuminative work. Another Nocturne comes in the shape of Bartók's Concerto for Violin no. 2, but here it is a slightly uneasy one. The scherzoid interruption is magnificently light, the ending glorious. Mutter and Ozawa follow the twists and turns of the finale like a shadow, making clear in the process the correspondences with the Scherzando of the second movement. Finally, Stravinsky's Concerto for Violin commands a meticulous control, clarity of vision, and an attention-grabbing conviction that Mutter manages with sensitivity and nuance sufficient to maintain a masterstroke to the end.
