Haydn was not a pianist of any distinction, nor a very successful composer of instrumental concertos, but his piano sonatas--and there are more than 60 of them--are much finer than those of Mozart, who was one of his era's greatest keyboard virtuosos. The reason for this is simple. Mozart wrote his keyboard concertos for himself and his sonatas for students. Haydn, on the other hand, was constantly stimulated to write piano music for gifted amateurs, though in those days amateurs were often as good as the professionals, particularly women for whom a concert career was out of the question. This is great music then, charming but never trivial, and John McCabe plays it with impressive style and vigor. --David HurwitzCustomer Reviews:

Reijseger : Colla Parte / Ernst Reijseger

Dutch cellist Reijseger (Clusone 3, Gerry Hemingway) is a virtuoso of complex timing and homemade techniques: plucking above and below the bridge, in two rhythms at once; bowing a melody and sketching its chords while quietly plucking a bass line; harmonizing bowed harmonics with high colorless whistling; strumming not-quite-guitary chords.... He does all that and more on these excellently recorded solos, if you can call such balancing acts solos. (Colla parte means "with loose accompaniment.") On this program of focused improvisations and tunes by Abdullah Ibrahim and Misha Mengelberg, Reijseger also plays cello like a cello, letting melodies sing, and making quiet allusions to the instrument's past. He may shift from a rich, sonorous tone to knife-edge nasality on one pass of the bow, but he never defeats his own musicality. Listen and know why Yo-Yo Ma is a booster (and occasional collaborator). Definitive Reijseger, and a perfect gift for any unsuspecting cellist. --Kevin WhiteheadCustomer Reviews:
Ah, the phenomenology of music reception!.......2004-01-25
Before I talk about the extended technique a little, I want to first emphasize that Reisjeger is a master of traditional tone and technique. If you like classical cello, you will like this disc if you have open ears. There are plenty of moments where the richness of his tone take on the sort of majesty and gravitas that the classical tradition is so rightly fond of.
But there is also insane and innovative technique. He can bow simultaneous melodies, he can vary his tone so that it almost seems as if the sound has shifted to another part of the room, he strums with both stand-up bass facility and as if that darn cello were a guitar. (I would really love to see him play. I would be willing to bet that at some points, he raises that left knee slightly, places the cello on its side on his knee and fingerpicks his chords.
All this for an extraordinary range of great music. The title tune sounds like something Bach would write today. Violincello Bastardo sounds like a folk guitar piece. Mengleberg's La Madre di Tutte le Guerre is beautifully bowed while Reisjeger whistles the melody. Rivercare sounds a little Beethovenish and a little like the opening phrase from the theme to "Mission Impossible".
These pieces come across like Reisjeger's meditations on a lifetime of listening to music, of solving technical problems in order to play what he wants to play, and of learning to express himself immediately, forcefully and honestly in the moment of playing. This is some of my favorite music of the last ten years.
You probably will not feel as passionate about it as I do but I cannot strongly enough recommend that you give this CD a try. Listen to the samples now and then a few weeks from now. See if they don't creep into your sonic memory. Buy the record and listen to it a few times and see if the music doesn't stay with you throughout your day. This is the good stuff.
