Lang Lang: Saint-Saens
by Bill HeckSaint-Saens: Carnival of the Animals, Piano Concerto 2; Ravel: Pavane pour une infante defunte; Debussy: Petite Suite 71; Faure: In paradisium; Delibes: Delibes: Lakmé: Flower Duet; Saint-Saens: Toccata after the Fifth Concerto (from Six Études pour piano op. 111); Faure: Pavane op. 50; Farrenc: Étude No. 10; Sohy: Song without Words; Tailleferre: Valse lente; Bonis: The Little One Falls Asleep; Boulanger: Of a Bright Garden; Saint-Saens: The Swan. Lang Lang, Gina Alice (pianos), Gewandhaus Orchestra cond, Andris Nelsons. DG 505859 Based on an admittedly very small sample, it seems that DG is interested in producing events as much as producing recordings. I suppose that’s their business, and but my curmudgeonly side is, shall we say, a little jaded. There’s no doubt that Lang Lang is a musical superstar, and I suppose that it’s natural for DG to be trading on that fame. Thus, you can find video sections […]

Orchestre National de Lyon/Szeps-Znaider(Bru Zane, two CDs)This two-disc compilation provides a potted history of the symphonic poem genre in France. Charlotte Sohy’s little known Danse Mystique stands out as a remarkable discoveryThe symphonic poem came of age with the dozen or so examples that Liszt completed in the 1850s. The genre soon split into nationalist schools – Czech works by Smetana and Dvořák, Russian by Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov, German by Strauss and Schoenberg – and Bru Zane’s two-disc compilation provides a potted history of the genre in France, from César Franck to Lili Boulanger.

We are able to review only a tiny fraction of the albums released each month. From Brahms to Berg, and Pejačević to Sohy, here are 10 recent releases worth going back toDespite more than a decade now of dire predictions of the terminal decline of the classical recording industry there’s still no sign of its imminent demise. Companies may come and go, and the emphasis of the repertory may shift from year to year, but the quantity of discs and downloads issued by both familiar and unfamiliar labels seems undiminished. There are so many new discs to sample each month that if you ask any two classical enthusiasts to name their standout releases of the year, it’s unlikely that there will be much overlap. What we do review sometimes seems barely to scratch the surface of what’s available and what deserves attention.In a perfect world, for instance, Bru Zane’s release of […]
