4 out of 5 stars A Fabulous Baroque CD: .......2006-08-27

I love baroque music, so this was a natural for me. I borrowed the CD 3 times from our library, and finally realized that I simply had to have it. It is sung by the King's Consort Choir, directed by Robert King, and using period instruments in the orchestral ensemble. They play pieces I was not familiar with, but which I have come to love, such as Monteverdi's Laetatus Sum, and old favorites like Vivaldi's Gloria. There is a fresh, beautiful sound that makes the music come really alive for me. I recommend it.

Although the packaging cannily plays up the Corelli's Mandolin connection, this disc should simply be treasured as a particularly fine collection of Hummel's music, ably performed by sympathetic soloists and a topnotch orchestra under the baton of the composer's most ardent modern-day champion, Howard Shelley. The Concerto in G was originally composed for virtuoso mandolinist Bartholomeo Bortolazzi in 1799, and its outstanding virtue is that, unlike much other mandolin repertoire, it appeals to non-aficionados of the little Italian instrument too. Its weighty orchestral introduction (there's a joke about that in Louis de Bernières's novel) sets the scene for a work of real substance and broad melodic appeal. Soloist Alison Stephens has captured the market in mandolin performances of late, but in this expressive performance of a tough piece she effortlessly justifies her workload (her cadenza in the Rondo is an especial treat). Here she performs a previously unknown later revision of the concerto that has significant variations in the solo part across all three movements, emphasizing the ringing arpeggios that lend themselves so well to the double strings of the instrument.

Urban Agnas is the forthright soloist in the well-known Concerto in E, a staple of the trumpet repertoire and for years about the only piece that kept Hummel's name alive. The concertos are bookended by two previously unrecorded works: the jolly Freudenfest Overture, which has fun with "God Save the King" among other national melodies, and the ballet suite Das Zauberglöckchen, the kind of breezily tuneful yet ultimately unmemorable work that might have doomed Hummel to obscurity if it were not for the persuasive advocacy of Shelley and his soloists. The depth and clarity of Chandos engineering brings out the best in everybody. --Mark Walker

5 out of 5 stars Bortolazzi would be proud........2001-09-13

The orchestral works are beautifully performed and recorded, but, as I regard much of Hummel's purely orchestral output, not particularly memorable. I do like the nod to popular music in the Freudenfest Overture. Where this recording truly shines is in the concerti. Every part is crisply defined. The balance between orchestra and soloists is perfect. This is as good a recording of the sprightly trumpet concerto as I've ever heard. While the differences are evident, I believe this newly discovered version of the mandolin concerto would require a very critical listen by a familiar aficionado to aurally differentiate from the published version. How many would discern that this reaches a half tone or so higher than the typical mandolin of Hummel's day? Bortolazzi played the rather obscure Cremonese mandolin and I'd be interested to know if this revision was intended for him or somebody with a standard Neapolitan instrument tucked neatly under arm. I confess my great admiration for Alison Stephens. Of all the professional classical mandolinists recording today, she may make the least effort to dazzle through pyrotechnics. However, she manages to dazzle more than most through her disciplined, infallible technique and crisp clear tone. This is as much beauty as can be squeezed out of a mandolin and Ms. Stephens' squeezin' is effortless.

5 out of 5 stars fun trumpets.......2005-09-13

"Masters of The Trumpet" is a simple and accurate title for this 2- disc collection. The recordings cover trumpet/cornet literature ranging from Gabrieli to Stravinsky.
Especially enjoyable moments are Don Smithers playing Reiche's "Abblasen" & Armando Ghitalla's work on Stravinsky's "Marche Royale" (L'Histoire du Soldat).
Rafael Mendez sounds as though he has more fun playing than should be legal...exciting!..and Adolph Herseth is a pleasure to hear whether he's playing in "delicate mode" or shattering asteroids with his power.

5 out of 5 stars Romantic Pianism.......2004-01-29

Ignaz Friedman (1882-1948)studied the piano with Theodore Leschitzy and gave over 3000 concerts in Europe, North and South America, and Australia in a long performing career. His recorded legacy is, alas, small; but much of it is included on this two-CD set which is part of an outstanding series called "Great Pianists of the 20th Century". The disc includes informative and balanced liner notes and a short biography of the artist. Friedman richly deserves to be included among the great pianists. The recordings on this compiliation date from 1923--1936.

Friedman had a virtuoso, powerhouse technique and a romantic playing style. He played with a great sense of rhythmic freedom and individuality. Notoriously, he did not always follow strictly the notes in the score but improvised and added. His style was controversial then and, more so, today. I recently read a review of a variety of Chopin recordings which criticized Friedman's rendition of Chopin's "heroic" polonaise, opus 53, included in this collection, as mostly empty thumping. I listened and listened again to the recording and couldn't bring myself to agree.

This set includes a great variety of Chopin but none of the complete sets (say complete mazurkas, nocturnes) common in modern recordings. The sound as as good as can be expected given the age of the pressings, but undoubtedly much of Friedman's beauty of tone fails to come through. The highlight of the collection is the recording of 12 Chopin mazurkas with Friedman's intensity, rhythmic idiosyncracy, and sense of melancholy which pervades most of these pieces. They are a beautiful introduction to Chopin.

I also enjoyed the selection of 5 Chopin etudes, particularly the devilish "study in thirds", opus 25 no. 6 which captures Friedman's masterly technique. The Berceuse, opus 57 with its fluttering thirds, and the two movements presented here of Chopin's second piano sonata, opus 35 also are fine performances and show Friedman at his best.

The other major highlight of this disc for me was Friedman's performance of 9 of Mendelsson's "Songs without Words". This music is frequently underestimated. Friedman takes these pieces seriously and performs them with thought and individuality, making it difficult to conceive of these pieces as mere parlor-music.

The disc also includes several works that are infrequently heard today. I enjoyed the piano rendition of Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" which is heard most often nowadays in orchestral transcription. The short pieces by Anton Rubenstein and Hummel were also unfamiliar to me and idiomatically played.

The only large-scale work performed in full on this disc is Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata, opus 27 no. 2. Friedman takes the first movement very slowly and the second movement somewhat ponderously. The third movement is all speed and lightening, with the long prestissimo passages blurred in some cases.

Friedman was a virtuoso performer who played in a romantic style that was greatly influential two or three generations ago but is mostly out of fashion today. But it is still a beautiful way to make music. The listener unfamiliar with this music will be moved by it and by Friedman's pianism. Listeners who know and love the piano will enjoy this great performer of the past.

5 out of 5 stars The No.1 in Moiseiwitsch's Eyes.......2003-05-13

I have just gone back to some of the historic recordings in particular Horszowski, Hofmann, Rachmaninoff, Rosenthal and Friedman and some others.

Rosenthal was simply too old when he made his first record ( Pupils of Liszt contains excellent transfer of his); and Horszowski or even Moiseiwitsch are not quite as interesting as the other three. Hofmann's superb legato touch is stunning ( only Sauer's Blue Danube was any better): piano in his hands sounds like a small but extremely refined orchestra. Some, including Rachmaninoff, ranked him the No.1 pianist of the century.

Rachmaninoff as a pianist on the other hand lacked Hofmann's glamour, but he was armed with the depth and insight of a composer, the so-called "a heart of gold", something which he compared favourably with Hofmann.

But Friedman had got the strong points of both of them. Like Hofmann, he was a child prodigy who was later landed with a Degree from Leizig University in Composition, Philosophy and Esthetics. He soon become a pupil of and later the assistant of Leschetisky.

He had composed over 100 works and had made extensive scholarly editions of music scores! And above all, he was also an enormously successful performer since his early 20's-- with a success much bigger than Horowitz. If one ever finds Schnabel ( his fellow Leschetiskian ) interesting or musically illuminating, do not miss out Friedman: Schnabel's playing tells you WHAT IS MUSIC, but Friedman's tells you WHAT MUSIC IS!

What Friedman undertook and succeeded in doing was most challenging: he didn't just capture life but recreated it in his music. (Cortot did that too but only in a different way.) This involves a lot of originality and imagination. His rhythm is full of life. (Cortot's was instead full of dreams and adventures!) His Mazurkas well illustrated this point: the beats are organized in accordance with the movements of the dancers, not with the metronome. The balance of both his hands are so subtle and again so full of life. Pedal was so sparingly and carefully used...

Needless to say, other pieces including his own are equally interesting. There is so much drama in his music, more than either Hofmann or Rachmaninoff. The rhythm,the skeleton of music is astoundingly under control and the colour, the so called flesh and blood of music, is amazingly beyond the imagination of Horowitz on whom his influence was quite strong. ( But Horowitz simply lacked one whole dimension! ) He had a technique even more colossal than Rachmaninoff: his repertoire is virtually limitless, and he could play, especially his left hand, as daring as Cziffra plus Rachmaninoff's depth and above all, with more colours! It's as if his ten fingers are literally independent, each capble of creating a different timbre, a different rhythm and yet the whole thing is as subtle and breathing as if with life. Yes, you can really feel the breath and pulses of his music: a four-dimensional playing something which so far on record ONLY a few like D'albert, De Greef and Erno Dohnanyi were capble of ( but the colour of the latters are not so well captured ). And he played music more from a performer's ( like Horowitz ) rather than from a composer's point of view like Rachmaninoff.

That helps to explain why Friedman's playing is so fresh and exciting and why Moiseiwitsch ranked him the No.1.

5 out of 5 stars A Pianist of the Highest Calibre.......2003-02-13

Ignaz Friedman is a pianist of the highest calibre. He assisted in teaching Leschetizky's pupils. The latter remarked that technically he was even better than himself; and Moiseisitsch bowed to Friedman and ranked him on par with Rachmaninoff and Moriz Rosenthal and Moiseiswitsch wasn't alone doing so.

Friedman was most imaginative in breathing life into music and his mazurkas are particularly vivid and exciting. Some may criticise him for taking the liberty of some more notee and another octave here and there to bring out more colour and sensation. But each performer has his own whims and hence showmanship. In Europe Friedman was a huge success having given literally thousands of concerts so much so that even Horowitz felt flattered to have him attending one of his recitals, and Casal often teamed up with him playing chamber music.

In terms of talents, he compares favourably with Horowitz as he had a colossal musical background very much parallel to Hofmann save that he had a decent education something which both Hofmann and Horowitz lacked. The result, he arranged and composed so much music with such ease that Horowitz could only dream of. Even in terms of technique, no matter it was sight-reading or memory, Friedman was even more exciting. But the American audience for some obscure reason was not particularly impressed.

In this regard, Friedman wasn't alone. Arrau and even Cortot until very recently weren't very popular either. Even then, Dohnanyi, Egon Petri, Backhaus and quite a few more were allowed to go into oblivion!! Brendel is more fortunate but not as much as he deserves. Thus being the fate of the artists. Yes, most preposterous and that partly explains the need and worth of showmanship.

Poor marketing these CDs may be, but there are some who are not sure who Ignaz Friedman was, nor Leschetizky nor even Czerny. How can we expect them to buy a 4CD box set, when a 2 CD set is already too much a luxury! Buy them unless you can afford the 4CD set, they are such a treasure.

4 out of 5 stars Worth it for the mazurkas.......2001-07-17

It is interesting to see how widely opinion on Friedman's interpretations varies! The liner notes to this 2CD set address this point, and a reading of the few user comments here attests to the fact as well. These are unique interpretations, which do occasionally--far less than one reviewer below indicates, I would certainly argue--take liberties with the score. Chopin wrote these pieces as interpretations of his native Poland's folk dances, and in listening to the great interpreters, particularly Rubinstein (through the years) one can only conclude, after study, that spontaneity is a large part of what the composer was attempting to capture in these little gems, and that studied, classically-true, concert hall performance doesn't really do these pieces justice. As a jazz pianist myself, I admit partiality to freer interpretation of folk-music-derived melody, but I am also a product of classical training, and appreciate the importance of adherence to the composer's line. The preludes--there, I will take Rubinstein. Still, given all this, I truly encourage any admirer of Chopin's music to hear what Friedman does. Even given the rough mono sound of these early recordings, you can hear the sheer joy this man finds in these pieces--it is an impulsive, happy naturalness which, I think, is quite rare in the whole of recorded music. I can't say nearly as much about the Beethoven or other couplings, but this Chopin is magical stuff. Not totally by the book. But what art. Don't miss it.

1 out of 5 stars GREAT playing, bad marketing.......2001-03-20

DO NOT BUY THIS CD. If you want to listen to the great Ignaz Friedman, buy the 4 CD set released by Pearl-Koch "The Complete Solo Recordings of Ignaz Friedman". I bought this CD only to realize that that set existed, and i've wasted my money.

    5 out of 5 stars Has anyone seen Bob in here?.......2006-05-23

    Hey, has anyone seen my friend Bob in here? He said he'd meet me here. Oh well...

    3 out of 5 stars Ignore the other other reviewer.......2004-03-21

    Five stars, one star, has anyone actually heard this recording? The first reviewer makes it pretty clear he's reviewing the search engine; the second reviewer is reviewing NOTHING.

    5 out of 5 stars ignore the other reviewer.......2004-03-19

    I haven't heard this recording; I just wanted to give to something to boost its rating because obviously the other reviewer was writing a review of amazon's search engine and not this recording. I really don't know what rating it deserves, but seeing a recording w/ Wunderlich on it that gets one star just seems wrong.

    1 out of 5 stars Huh?.......2003-12-26

    Oddly enough, Amazon's search engine brought me here when I was searching for "Blue Man Group"....unfortunately, the closest we get is the Blue Danube. Wonderful though it might be, it's NOT Blue Man Group.

    Let me reiterate, there is NO Blue Man Group at all on this CD. Not even one track. None. Niente. Nada.

    Heck, they aren't even Austrian. Or Australian, for that matter.

    Good search engine, Amazon. Way to go.

    The transcriptions of excerpts of Mozart's Requiem is alone worth the price of admission. Another revelation from Liszt and pianist Leslie Howard.

      4 out of 5 stars Romantic style; not very baroque.......2005-10-21

      Maurice Andre's playing is of the romantic style and not the baroque. His tone and technique is AMAZING...i mean...incredible

      However, he doesn't seem to be very good in playing the 3rd movement of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E flat Major because Andre's tone is more romantic and baroque, and doesn't seem to possess that baroque quality.

      Listen to Hakan Hardenberger's performance of Haydn's trumpet concerto; it's much better and with Baroque style too. But they are BOTH great trumpet players so I can't really compare

      Otherwise, the cd is very good...and wow..Carnival of Venice is impressive...super fast double or triple tonguing..and going up like 3 octaves....very impressive

      5 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Selection.......2004-02-28

      This CD is great when your looking for a good music selection without burning a new cd or swapping disks. Maurice Andre is one of the best trumpet players ever and this CD does not disapoint!

      4 out of 5 stars Great, even without full recordings..........2004-01-25

      Sure, it may not have the Haydn, but it DOES have Maurice playing the last movement of the Tomasi, and this disc will continue to be very popular until the entire French concerto album is released on disc. However, it is a bit of a cop-out to have a compilation of only movements, considering that his Erato recordings are unique and quite good (and since DG and EMI have released very popular compilations of his recordings). The performances are excellent, but it is a little annoying to not get entire works, and that's the reason for only four stars.

      3 out of 5 stars ummm.......2003-12-20

      I was about to buy this cd but when I looked through the tracks, there wasn't Haydn's trumpet concerto. Come on people, it can't be the ultimate trumpet collection if Haydn's concerto, which is quintessential for every trumpet player, isn't on the cd.

      5 out of 5 stars It is the UlTIMATE.......2000-10-12

      Maurice has the best tone quality ever! Any trumpet player around the world can tell it is him playing. He is simply the best there is. I would recommend this cd to anyone who wants to listen to the best trumpet player in the world! All of Muarice Andre's cd's are great anyway, so you can't go wrong with this one.

      Album Description

      Russian-born Paperno delivers deep, powerful performances of 16 lesser-recorded piano miniatures. He magnifies and reveals these rich musical microcosms with a three-dimensional pianism that takes advantage of the instrument's full sonorities. A rarity is the Cancion y Danza No. 5 by Federico Mompou, the Spanish (Catalan) composer who specialized in small-scale piano pieces. "Many of his pastels are of an extraordinary haunting . . . elegance," wrote Lionel Salter in the New Grove Dictionary (1980). Mompou's "fondness of ostinato figures and bell sound often lends an incantatory quality to his poetic evocations." Even the one Rachmaninoff piece, the Polichinelle, Op. 3, No. 4, is seldom heard. A beguiling, spiritual performance of Siloti's transcription of Bach's Prelude in B minor opens the program. Scarlatti's Sonata in B minor is beautiful and dramatic, with a sunny radiance and eternally fresh-sounding melodies. Sgambati's transcription of Gluck's Mélodie d'Orfée is achingly lovely and seems perfect for a tenderly romantic movie scene. Particularly interesting in Shchedrin's suspenseful yet jazzy Basso Ostinato. Russian pianist and teacher Leah Levinson's transcription of Schumann's song "Der Nussbaum" (The Nut Tree) receives its first-ever recording. "An amazing achievement for a one-piece composer," Paperno writes in the liner notes. "She gave me the piece as soon as she finally wrote it down in the early 1960s." Paperno's liner notes, like the recording, are uncommon, informative and quite touching. A mature artist, Paperno offers stimulating first-person accounts of his relationships with the pieces and their performance challenges. Paperno tells of his first visit with Shchedrin, "my closest friend from my years in what used to be the USSR." Unable to find a copy of the popular Basso Ostinato score, Paperno went to the composer's Moscow apartment and came away with a personally inscribed copy.
