The Merry Widow - Opera Holland Park, London - The Reviews Hub

Composer: Franz Lehár Book: John Savournin Lyrics: David Eaton Conductor: Stuart Stratford There are misconceptions, misfires and misunderstandings galore in this lavishly designed and terrifically fun production of Franz Lehár’s operetta The Merry Widow.

Donizetti: Songs on Opera Rara, #4

Opera Rara's Donizetti Song Project is the latest in their alchemical mix of musicology and performance. But why say with Volume Four first? Because recently we heard Bellini's La straniella (see this post), and Donizetti sets part of the source text by Charles Vivto Prévost, Viscose d'Arlincourt, here. The lovely L'Étrangère (Quand du jour paraît la lumière) has a somewhat Schubertian piano postlude. The disc begins, though, with an early canzo…Read Article

Marschner: Piano Trios, Volume 1

Best known for his opera Der Vampyr (he was a leading composer in the period between Weber and Wagner), Heinrich August Marschner (1795-1861) was well travelled throughout Europe before he arrived in Dresden by become conductor at the Municipal Theatre there. But here we have the chamber side of Marschne's output: apparently Robert and Clara Schumann admired his piano trios, and, on the evidence of this disc, with good reason. There are seven in…Dresden, Sachsen · Dresden Read Article

Beethoven's Missa solemnis on Alpha

This is an extraordinary reading of an extraordinary piece. Jérémie Rhorer came to the Missa solemnis afresh, eschewing recorded versions. He performs it at A = 430 Hz (which apart from its historical prescience, helps the sopranos of the Audi Jugendchorakademie!) and with the remarkable Le Cercle d l'Harmonie. It is fair to say tempos are brisk, but not for the sake of it: this is often edge of the seat drama. In a Gramophone interview, Rhorer …Paris, France · Paris Read Article

Pollini's early take on Chopin's Etudes

Mauriaio Pollini's death was a significant blow to the piano world. His concerts in London over the years were always highlights, a great pianist of unfathomable energy who always illuminated everything he touched. A musician of incredible intellect and, until the final few concerts perhaps, incredible accuracy.In 1960, Pollini won the Chopin Piano Competition and shortly after was contracted to record for EMI - recordings from the period still …London, England · London Read Article

Schubert and Byrd at Wigmore Hall: Mishka Rushdie Momen impresses, again

I was very, very taken with Mishka Rushdie Momen’s Sheffield recital last year at he Crucbile Playhouse, where she pitted music by Schumann, Fauré, mendelssohn and Ravel against Rameau.

Unmissable Rachmaninov from Boris Giltburg

This is a significant release from Naxos: Rachmaninoc's Piano Sonatas No. 1 & 2, plus an arrangement of the orchestral tone-poem The Isle of the Dead.The First Sonata, D-Minor, Op. 28, dates from 1907/08. Its heft might be a contributing facto in its neglect: as Giltburg says in his excellent booklet notes:I grew up in unquestioning ignorance of Rachmaninov’s First Piano Sonata. Like Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto (there are three!) and Dvořák’s P…Dresden, Sachsen · Dresden Read Article

Go, Lovely Rose: Songs of Roger Quilter

Firstly, what a beautiful disc this is, from each and every angle: the performer, one of the most experienced tenors active today, James Gilchist, with a superb pianist, Anna Tilbrook, captured in Chandos' trademark excellence of recording.Secondly, what sevice to music itself. The output of Roger Quilter (1877-1953) needs more exposure: there is a rightness about these songs, each a little gem perfect in and of itself, that needs cherishing.
