New releases

[gurnemanz]

Winterreise with Jonas Kaufmann and Helmut Deutsch on Sony is imminent. Likely to become a one of the definitive versions, one suspects.

Regarding Annie Fischer and the Bartok 3rd Piano Concerto, I'm wondering who the Conductor and Orchestra are.

[Bryn]

Regarding Annie Fischer and the Bartok 3rd Piano Concerto, I'm wondering who the Conductor and Orchestra are.

Most likely Markevitch & LSO, I would think.

[Sir Velo]

Regarding Annie Fischer and the Bartok 3rd Piano Concerto, I'm wondering who the Conductor and Orchestra are.

There is a recording out there of Bartok 3 with the Wiener Phil and Solti as the accompanists.

[Bryn]

Not from the EMI stable, however, whereas I think the LSO/Markevitch was.

Annie Fischer: Artist Profile—2 CD EMI
1. Schubert impromptus op.142/2,4; LvB sonata 8 op.13 “pathetique”, 14 op.27/2 “moonlight”, 32 op.111.
2. Schumann kinderszenen op.15, kreisleriana op.16; Bartok piano cto.3 (w/Markevitch & LSO)

[Sir Velo]

Not from the EMI stable, however, whereas I think the LSO/Markevitch was.

Thanks. Twill be interesting to compare the two.

[EnemyoftheStoat]

Ordered already, Alison, together with Claudio Abbado's final recording - Mozart Piano Concertos 20 & 25 with Martha Argerich. A year a week on Monday since I was present at the Haitink.

Listening to BH's B9 now. This is very fine.

[Alison]

Listening to BH's B9 now. This is very fine.

It's slow but totally involving. Rarely has the symphonic discourse been so compelling.

[Petrushka]

It's slow but totally involving. Rarely has the symphonic discourse been so compelling.

Mine finally arrived this morning but haven't had chance to listen yet as I wanted to catch the RPO/Dutoit concert on R3. The B9 has a time of 67 minutes - nearly 10 minutes slower than van Beinum. 'Slow but totally involving' is how I remember it in the Barbican a year ago. Will listen tomorrow.

That Sargent box would I am sure be music to salymap's ears !

[Dave2002]

Dave, I think that the new box gives a much better representation of CPE than the DHM one...and the roster of artists, Koopman, Leonhardt, Biljsma etc in classic recordings would be hard to beat.

There is yet another CPE Bach box which was released not too long ago - http://www.brilliantclassics.com/rel...?id=FM00084077 30 CDs - I think about £50.

[MickyD]

Thanks Dave, for flagging this one up....I find it hard to keep up with the constant stream of releases from Brilliant, and hadn't seen this one either.

The CPE Bach set seems to draw upon material from many catalogues...there are a few discs from the old Capriccio CPE Bach Edition which made its appearance at the end of the 80s...some of those choral works from Hermann Max are pretty good and worth hearing. There also seems to be a lot of new recordings, too. A definite bargain for those who don't have much - or any - CPE on their shelves.

[Dave2002]

MickyD

I had a look at the listings of the larger Brilliant CPE Bach box expecting to see a lot of overlap with other boxes - such as the smaller Brilliant box, but it looks as though the performances are largely different. If I buy that as well I'll surely be maxed out on CPE Bach. Maybe ... though perhaps I don't like his music that much.

[MickyD]

He he, yes, Dave, I can see that 30 CDs of CPE Bach might be just a tad too much for the unconverted! I've also had a look at the Brilliant website...happily for me, the very few works which I have yet to acquire and fill any gaps such as the organ sonatas, seem to be available in a separate 2 CD set from Brilliant as well. So no huge duplications for me, thankfully. But full marks to Brilliant for what they are doing....I see an enormous Complete Brahms Edition from them is due out next month, too.

This looks as necessary a purchase as I've seen this year so far on the re-issue front
