Mozart: Violin Concertos Nos. 1, 3 & 5 [Australia] Brown, Academy Od St Martin in the Fields Release: May 2005 Label: Eloquence Genre: Classical Duration: Discs: 1 Date Added: 17 Jan 2010 Summary: Among the many recordings of the complete Mozart Violin Concertos, this one, with the late Iona Brown directing the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields from the violin, has lain dormant for far too long. Gramophone magazine welcomed it with the words: "a series which is outstanding for its freshness and spontaneity in a highly-competitive field. As before, the ASMF respond instinctively to [Iona Brown's] skilled direction, and the recording is exemplary". This release includes Mozart's first effort at a Violin Concerto as well as two of the most popular - the breezy Third Concerto and the colourful Fifth, also known as the 'Turkish'.

15	Hughes de Courson	Lambarena - Bach to Africa	1	Jun 2009	Virgin Classics	Classical
Lambarena - Bach to Africa Hughes de Courson Release: Jun 2009 Label: Virgin Classics Genre: Classical Duration: Discs: 1 Date Added: 17 Jan 2010 Summary: I'm surprised there are almost no reviews for this album. I am a classical music junkie, but also enjoy other types of music in general. This is one of my favorite CDs. It's fun, entertaining, refreshing, and also stimulating and thought-provoking in the way it beautifully blends the music of Bach with African sounds and rhythms. The voices of both the western classical choir and the African singers, as well as the different percussion instruments coupled with passages from Bach, are a wonderful delight to listen to. I know some people are repelled by cross-over music, but if you are not one of those people, and you are looking for music that is refreshingly different and stimulating, and you don't mind western classical or African music either, you should give this album a try. On top of that, if you like Bach, then I whole-heartedly recommend this CD.

20	Ludwig van Beethoven, Wilhelm Backhaus	Wilhelm Backhaus ~ Beethoven - The Piano Sonatas	8	Jan 1992	Decca	Classical
Wilhelm Backhaus ~ Beethoven - The Piano Sonatas Ludwig van Beethoven, Wilhelm Backhaus Release: Jan 1992 Label: Decca Genre: Classical Duration: Discs: 8 Date Added: 17 Jan 2010 Summary: I have noticed the resurgence (or should I say the emergence) of Wilhelm Backhaus in the USA and Canada. On continental Europe there has never been any doubt that Backhaus, with Schnabel, Fischer and Arrau (and personally I would add Horszowsky and Petri), has been one of the greatest interpreters of the Classics (Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart). It is also been recognized that he had been a marvellous interpreter of Liszt, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin. In the UK Backhaus is still very often (fortunately not always) dismissed as having a too direct and brusque stile, occasionally characterised by a gruff good humour but lacking in sensitivity and depth. What a bunch of utter nonsense!!! Just listen to his interpretation of Beethoven's sonata no.29 in B flat major, op.106 ( so called Hammerklavier). The way in which he can hold together the whole of the sonata, subtly revealing its internal unities and so letting this gigantic work develop as a living organism, is magisterial. The way in which the impetus generated by the fortissimo opening chord in B flat melts in the following changes in harmony, is achieved via a magestirial use of rubato. A use of rubato which reflects a deep understanding of the harmonic structure of the text. It is not sheer emotion which leads to the application of rubato, but the analysis of sound realationships which leads to use rubato as a tool to reveal sentiments: not flamboyant emotionalism but deep search of emotions. Please listen to the sound generated in the adagio sostenuto whith its difficult variations in sonority. The implicit indication of Beethoven.is magestirially fulfilled as only a restricted group of great masters (Arrau, Petri, Richter, Schnabel) can do. Beauty of sound in itself is meaningless, but beauty of sound to achieve musical meaning is a rare gift. Please go back to Backhaus and listen carefully: Backhaus is a giant.

Ravel: Le Tombeau de Couperin; Ma Mere l'Oye; Rapsodie Espagnole [Australia] Ravel, Ozawa, Boston Sym Orch Release: Apr 2006 Label: Eloquence Genre: Classical Duration: Discs: 1 Date Added: 17 Jan 2010 Summary: Years ago, I Bought the first part of this colection of Ravel oschestral works by Ozawa, issued on Galleria series from Deutsche Grammophon and I was impressed for the breathtaking interpretations and spectacualr sound quality. So I've got this vol. 2 on ELOQUENCE series with great spectations. The sound in general is good, but in the peaks of Rapsodie Espagnole the transfer surpases the capabilities of the CD and much of the sound is lost. The interpretations are excelent, don't miss them, though Eloquence is a cheap edition. Le Tombeau De Couperin Ma Mere L'oye Rapsodie Espangnole
