First Rate Concertos.......2004-05-12
Occasionally, you tell yourself that the relative neglect of an "obscure" composer is justified. After all, whenever I tell people that I'm listening to Bax, I get some rather puzzled stares. Yet don't give into temptation--Bax is an excellent composer who was capable of writing some first-rate music. This disc showcases two of his most powerful scores, with arguably more charm, panache, and argument than many of his symphonies.
The Violin Concerto was written for Heifetz, who predictably refused to perform the work (I think he made a studio recording of it, but that was all). While it may lack the showmanship he was accustomed to, the work is still a brauvara affair, with an electric opening and very memorable themes. The slow movement is particularly memorable for Bax, and throughout attests to a very high degree of inspiration. The most charming movement is the finale, which has a kind of "La Valse" passage in the middle which is outrageous. A stunning work, beautifully played by Mordkovitch, who has single-handedly rescued so many unjustly neglected concertos and sonatas.
My favorite piece, however, is the Cello Concerto--a genre I wouldn't immediately associate with Bax. It's a colossal work, full of motor rhythms, brooding Nordic elements, and exciting passages for cello. Some of Bax's most beautiful melodies adorn the first two movements, particularly the slow movement, which is a profound meditaiton upon...(fill in the blank). I honestly can't imagine a more committed score for cello and orchestra, and why this isn't occasionally performed instead of Elgar is baffling. I mean, come on, this is a GREAT work...but of course, I'm not speaking as a cellist, so I don't know.
The disc concludes with a bit of Bax's lighter music, the Morning Song for piano and orchestra. It's a very charming, tuneful piece, and a refreshing aftertaste after the monumental virtuoso performances that preceeded it.
All the pieces are amazingly performed by Bryden Thomson, whose recordings of Bax remain (for me) the standard. Everything "sounds here, and I couldn't imagine a better performance. A great disc, but it now and realize that Bax is a better composer than you realized--or remember why you got into him in the first place.

Classical Wonder.......2003-05-18
As an avid classical music listener, and cellist, Classical Heat was the perfect blend of energized, fast-paced works, and then on the second disk, a more mellow, yet still firey, works. I would recommend this CD set to every classical listener, even people that don't normally like the classical genre will enjoy this cd.
Beware the Flame.......2002-06-14
Trumpet blasts, french horn flares, all the way to the subtle reeds of the bassoon. This album will keep you interested and awake all the way through. Paired with its sister album "Classical Chill", they can be the perfect mix you have been looking for. Musician and listener alike: This CD is a must have.

Bax's epic Piano Concerto.......2000-03-27
Bax was considered a pianist of 'formidable' calibre when he was at the Royal Academy of Music with legendary sight-reading abilities that could take on the most complex musical scores. He never produced a Piano Concerto as such although he wrote several works for piano and orchestra of which this is the biggest in scale. The work lasts over 57 minutes and as the title 'Symphonic Variations' suggests this entails an exposition of a theme and then we have 6 variations and an intermezzo. The piece comes from 1916 which was in Bax's 'white-hot' romantic period when he just wrote down music that just poured out of his head (or heart). This year, the year of the Easter Uprising as well as the horrors of the Somme must have seemed a cataclysm for our sensitive artist and the music seems to me a journey through different landscapes and moods with the piano and orchestra working a deux rather than the traditional structure of the piano concerto with its obvious showpiece nature for the soloist with the orchestra there to make them look and sound good. The work was written for Harriet Cohen ('Tania' for Bax) who was an excellent pianist, although she had small hands which limited Bax's writing for her. This limitation is not apparent for the music is big with big themes and a rolling epic perspective that leaves the listener, and no doubt the player, exhausted. At the end of variation 5 we have an extended cadenza which is very exacting. Miss Cohen retained the exclusive rights to play this work which limited its playability. I have the Joyce Hatto 1970 recording and Ms Fingerhut is in every sense as good as her. The recording is obviously better and playing are excellent. There is also not the annoying split in the work when we needed to turn the record over to side 2. The work is a great introduction for anyone who wants to know what Bax sounds like without too much legend and 'celtic stuff'. It is a first rate work which deserves to be played more often now the Cohen restriction is gone. The filler 'Maytime in Sussex' is late Bax, tuneful, well worked out but lacking his earlier flame of genius. This is a first rate CD, do buy!

These recordings were made at different times and in different locales, and they sound quite different from each other. Most successful are the Britten pieces, rarely played early works, and the amusing Lutoslawski. The Rachmaninoff is usually played more colorfully, rather on pianos or by an orchestra, but I liked the linear style of this performance quite well. The arrangement of the Danse Macabre is a very good one, but the playing here sounds tentative. The Bax piece sounds like Debussy with too much water. Both in consistency of performance and recording this disc could have been better. --Leslie Gerber
