[…] Hunting Gun by Thomas Larcher [see Tony's review], based on a best-selling post-war Japanese novella by Yasushi Inoue surrounding a universal story of deception of others and, indeed, of ourselves. A work of depth and passion, it raised considerable interest all round for this Austrian-born composer therefore I’m glad to see him back this year offering Aldeburgh the UK première of his most recent work Unerzählt (Untold), a 20-minute piece featuring South Tyrol-born baritone, Andrè Schuen, accompanied by Julius Drake. Forming the backbone of the festival are four featured artists comprising composer Unsuk Chin, cellist Alban Gerhardt, violinist Daniel Pioro and composer Judith Weir while this year’s festival will also reflect on its rich heritage offering a host of events to recreate significant moments in its illustrious history. A strong, rich and varied programme offers an exciting mix of opera, orchestras, choirs, singers, dance and chamber-music ensembles delivering a range of thrilling […]

Recent Releases, No. 28
[…] theme of this release is “the hours of the day,” as we have the three Haydn symphonies representing morning, noon, and evening, followed by the nocturnal serenade penned by Mozart. This is music that is colorful, sprightly, and at once both elegant and charming. The size and the sound of this Italian period-instrument chamber orchestra seem perfectly suited to this music, making for an utterly delightful release.Thomas Larcher: Symphony No. 2.”Kenotaph.” Die Nacht der Verlorenen. Andre Schuen, baritone; Hannu Linto, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Ondine ODE 1393-2.Thomas Larcher (b. 1963) is an Austrian composer and pianist.
