Richter: The New Four Seasons: Vivaldi Recomposed (CD review)
[…] over the years, but they are certainly not the only recognizable musical name to have had more than one go at recording Vivaldi’s greatest hit. Still, it was surprising to learn that composer Max Richter (b. 1966) has now released the second recording of his “recomposed” version of Vivaldi’s masterpiece. The first release, titled Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons, featured Daniel Hope on solo violin with the Kammerorchester Berlin under conductor André de Ridder along with Richter on electronic synthesizers. It was initially released by Deutsche Grammophon in the summer of 2012 and then later rereleased in 2014 in an expanded version that was also reviewed in Classical Candor by John Puccio: https://classicalcandor.blogspot.com/2014/04/recomposed-by-max-richter-cd-review.html Now, a decade later, we have another recomposition of the score by Richter, this time around one of the main differences being that not only do we have (other than Richter) different musicians, but they are […]

Post-Beethoven Fest in Berlin and on-line: Beethoven, new music, Kraftwerk, Boards of Canada and more
Stargaze (Photo Maarit Kytoeharju) Beethoven 250 was a somewhat quieter celebration that many ensembles intended and to remedy this, Beethoven 251 has become a cause to celebrate both Beethoven and live music. In Berlin, Andre de Ridder and his Stargaze ensemble are presenting a weekender at the Volksbühne in Berlin on 10 and 11 June 2021, which will be live-streamed. The focus of the event is Beethoven and his legacy today. There will be premieres of music by Sarah Nemtsov, Nicole Lizée, Matthew Herbert and Aart Strootman based on music and ideas from Beethoven's symphonies alongside works by Stockhausen and Friedrich Nietzsche. Performers include Stargaze alongside Holger Hiller (from Palais Schaumburg), Boards of Canada and Kraftwerk, plus dancers Latisha Sparks, Zen Jefferson and Miriam Arnold, and Hamburg new-wave band 1000 Robota. Stargaze will perform their project based on Boards of Canada’s album Hi Scores for the first time in Germany, […]

Respighi: Roman Trilogy (SACD Review)
[…] every way. This is reference-quality Beethoven, no doubt about it. https://classicalcandor.blogspot.com/2020/12/beethoven-revolution-symphonies-1-5.html Clyne: Dance; Elgar: Cello Concerto. Inbal Segev, cello; Marin Alsop, London Philharmonic Orchestra. AVIE AV2419. Although the cello is pushed too far forward in the Clyne (better in the Elgar), my enthusiasm for both the music and the performances leads me to give this new release from AVIE a highly enthusiastic recommendation. https://classicalcandor.blogspot.com/2020/08/clyne-dance-cd-review.html Clyne: Mythologies. Marin Alsop, Sakari Oramo, Andrew Litton, André de Ridder (conductors), BBC Symphony Orchestra; Jennifer Koh, violin; Irene Buckley, voice. AVIE AV2434. This is a wonderful recording of music by a composer who deserves wider recognition. I fervently hope that even more recordings of music by Ms. Clyne will be forthcoming, as she has a vivid imagination and a wondrous talent for orchestration. Brava! https://classicalcandor.blogspot.com/2021/01/clyne-mythologies-cd-review.html Dalbavie: La source d’un regard; Oboe Concerto; Flute Concerto; Cello Concerto. Ludovic Morlot, Seattle Symphony; DeMarre McGill, flute; Mary Lynch, […]
