Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini; Respighi: Toccata for Piano and Orchestra; Casella: Partita for Piano and Orchestra (CD Review)
by Ryan RossJoshua Pierce, piano; Anton Nanüt, conductor; RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. MSR 1839 This disc’s program notes by Eric Salzman state that all the works on it are “modernist pieces with strong connections to tradition,” and “can be regarded as neo-classical.” While he qualifies the latter label for each in turn, these claims seem variably strained to me. Despite the fact that two of the pieces are by Italian contemporaries, it would be truer to acknowledge the heterogeneity of the music here and gladly stick to that. (As an aside, I am thoroughly exasperated by the looseness with which the term “modernism” is thrown around these days.) What really strikes me about this offering is not only how much each work should be considered on its own terms, but also how easily the familiarity and accessibility of the Rachmaninoff Paganini Rhapsody can impede […]

Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)Symphony No. 1 in D majorSymphony No, 4 in G majorDas Lied von der ErdeMax Emanuel Cencic boy sopranoZeger Vandersteene tenorGlenys Linos mezzosopranoLjubljana RSOAnton NanutRecorded 1985-89Denon 2009digital download, cover This is a Denon reissue of three discs recorded in the late 1980s in Ljubljana, Slovenia, by the Stradivari label and reissued many times around the world on budget labels. In addition to the inspired direction of Anton Nanut and the idiomatic performance of the orchestra (which although not at the level of the big European ensembles is far from being a provincial group) the 4th. Symphony and The Song of the Earth have the outstanding presence of two singers related to baroque music: Max Emanuel Cencic (14 years old at the time), former singer of the Vienna Boys´ Choir and today a star, and Zeger Vandersteene, who recorded Rameau's Castor and Pollux with Gerard Souzay and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Anglo-Egyptian singer Glenys […]

Mahler 4 with 3 Trebles - Gražinyte-Tyla CBSO
[…] the sensitivity of the conductor. It is not enough to stick a kid in front of an orchestra like a novelty. Both Bernstein's trebles didn't get the support they needed because they were added like extras on interpretations that didn't reach the subtle depths of the symphony. Allan Bergius and Helmut Wittek sang some very beautiful passages but their singing wasn't integrated into the whole approach. They weren't performing monkeys, they deserved better. Anton Nanut's M4 with 11 year old Max Emanuel Cenčić on the other hand was more sensitively thought through, Nanut restraining the orchestra so the delicate purity of Cenčić's unusually high soprano felt extraordinarily moving. That's what the symphony is really all about ! So if those of us who couldn't get to Birmingham for Gražinyte-Tyla's CBSO Mahler 4 with the three trebles will have to keep dreaming of what might have been.Please see my […]
