A fresh coat of paint: conductor Bart Van Reyn talks about his new recording of CPE Bach's oratorio Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu
[…] freshly written, uninfluenced by what came later. It is the same with instruments, he tries to find the exact tools and colour palate that the original performers had at their disposal, so you can get closer to the music. When you perform Early Music on modern instruments you can close but not as close as with early instruments. Bart has got as far as conducting Mendelssohn on period instruments and is looking forward to conducting Anima Eterna Brugge in Brahms and Schumann in Bruges [see the orchestra's website for details], and this feels like a very natural approach to music history. The closer you get to the 20th century, the smaller the differences get between the sound worlds of the period and modern instruments, and he feels that the turning point occurs around Mendelssohn. The use of vibrato remains a strong distinguishing factor between modern and period performance. We have […]

In praise of well-recorded Beethoven
Sound is what matters in Beethoven's music. In the Gramophone Philip Clark wrote about "Ludwig van Beethoven, the composer who, more than any other, changed... the sound of music" while in the New Yorker Alex Ross described how Beethoven was "a phenomenon of dazzling and disconcerting force" and how due to his impact "listening underwent a fundamental change". So, in these socially distanced times when audiences have turned to recordings for their classical fix, why is sound quality given so little prominence in Beethoven reviews, or reviews of any other composer's music? I pondered on that question yet again when listening to two new Beethoven releases. The piano is one of the hardest instruments to capture convincingly on a recording. Too often the instrument's upper registers reproduce with a tiring brittle edge. This is not a digital artefact as a select few recordings capture the instrument's full range without reminding the […]
