I haven't heard the CD yet, but I was at the concert where it was recorded. If this CD captures even one percent of the energy, the emotion and the fury that Ms DiDonato displayed at this outstanding concert, this CD is a must-have, especially if you're into Händel. Amazing.

There are two sides to Shostakovich's music and most listeners tend to know only the darker side. There is wit in Shostakovich's music although usually in acidic or sardonic way. There was a time before the Stalinist purges and the Second World War when the wit really flourished and Yablonsky and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra (formerly the U.S.S.R Symphony Orchestra) give us some very fine examples of it. The plot of "The Bolt" (evil capitalist industrialists brought low by rightous socialism) so embarassed the composer that he rarely spoke of it and never pushed for a revival after its initial run. He did realize that he wrote some very good music for it and from it he made this nearly half hour suite. The Jazz Suites are really works with ... Read More: >>More Details |

In tempus praesens - Bach, J.S.: Violin Concertos BWV1041 & BWV1042; Gubaidulina: Violin Concerto In tempus praesensby: Anne-Sophie Mutter Trondheim Soloists Anne-Sophie Mutter London Symphony Orchestra Valery Gergiev September 22, 2008 Best Selling > Classical Music > Classical Music |

The Gubaidulina has to be listened to a few times to experience its real power, but it grabbed me from the beginning. Its a very modern peice but at the same time classical in feel. The Bach takes no getting used to and its refreshing to hear a soloist not trying to be too "authentic" in her style. That being siad the overall performance is light and brisk. Mutter just gets better and better in my view. I also have to comment on the outstanding quality of the recording- if I were a geek I'd buy it just for that.

I can't judge this from a musicians point of view, or from anything apart from that this music connects with some bit inside of me that I can't explain in technical language.
Sorrowful yes, you certainly feel that raw emotion from this album. It is also very peaceful and grounding - not great over-worked symphony that makes you wallow in your own depression. Very simple and beautiful. All I can say is that this music connects with some inner part of me and that I love it. It's rather personal and you should take a listen to it before you buy it - but I'm sure you'll love it. >>More Details |

Schubert Liederby: Elizabeth Watts, Roger Vignoles November 03, 2008 Best Selling > Classical Music > Classical Music |

This is a quite stupendous disc. It features some wonderful songs by Schubert ravishingly sung by Elizabeth Watts with some unbelievably sensitive piano playing by Roger Vignobles. Miss Watts is one of the brightest young international stars on the circuit as those who watched her win the Lieder prize at the BBC Singer of the World competition in Cardiff will testify. One of her most amazing strengths is the ability to create the most stunning and beautiful pianissimo high notes which she uses to great effect to characterise many of these settings. A "must-have CD" to add to the collection.

Allegri - Miserere; Lotti - Crucifixus; Palestrina - Stabat Mater Dolorosafrom: Coro May 05, 2003 Best Selling > Classical Music > Classical Music |

Allegri's Miserere is given the top billing on this disc, perhaps because of some celebrated special effects, explained in the liner notes, that it contains. The first track is devoted to a sombre and beautiful Crucifixus (from the Nicene Creed) by one Lotti, an older contemporary of Bach. Admirable and compelling, both of these, but what I bought this disc for was the two items by Palestrina, his Stabat Mater and the celestial Missa Papae Marcelli.
It is not just the quality of the early music specialists these days but the sheer profusion of them that continues to astonish me. I looked through the list of singers (18, not 16) and while I did not recognise most of the names offhand that may simply be because I did not investigate my large record ...
