Hugh Levick - Remnants of Symmetry
Hugh Levick Island & Exile, Constellation, Remnants of Symmetry; Diotima Quartet, Wilhelm Latchoumia, Nicholas Isherwood, Daniel Ciampolini, Florent Jodelet; Radio France Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 22 January 2019 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) Intense and serious, a selection of recent chamber music by the American composer Hugh LevickI have to confess that the American composer Hugh Levick was a name that was new to me, though his work has included music for theatre, performance art and opera. On this disc from Radio France we have a selection of Levick's recent chamber works, Island & Exile (2011-12) for piano quintet, Constellation (2013-14) for voice and string quartet, and Remnants of Symmetry for string quartet and percussion (2013-15), performed by the Diotima Quartet (Yun-Peng Zhao, Constance Ronzattie, Franck Chevalier, Pierre Morlet), Nicholas Isherwood (baritone), Wilhelm Latchoumia (piano), Daniel Ciampolini (percussion) and Florent Jodelet (percussion).

The reel world
[…] I bathed in the fireworks of Rossini’s La Donna del Lago with Montserrat Caballè, Franco Bonisolli and Pietro Bottazzo (who quickly became a favorite); basked in the luxurious sensuality of Tatiana Troyanos and Eric Tappy as Monteverdi’s amoral lovers Poppea and Nerone; and puzzled over my love-hate for Gundula Janowitz’s melting, yet steely soprano as Haydn’s Armida loved and raged. Soon the most obscure works were gliding through my capstans: Keiser’s delightful Der Lächerliche Prinz Jodelet, Boismortier’s Don Quichote chez la duchesse, and Cimarosa’s Il Marito Disperato became favorites. And I explored composers I thought I knew well—Torvaldo e Dorliska (with more Bottazzo and the lovely Lella Cuberli) and La Pietra del Paragone shot up on the list of my most listened-to Rossini operas.

[…] during the 19th century, Almira had never been given outside of Germany until a truncated version was staged at the 2004 Amherst Early Music Festival. It has yet to be performed in England (usually home to all things Handelian) or France. Even operas by his Hamburg boss Keiser have fared better: Croesus was produced by both Opera North in England and by the Minnesota Opera during the past decade. And his delightful Der Lächerliche Prinz Jodelet had a smashing revival in Hamburg in 2004. Operamission was clearly tackling something important Saturday night by presenting Almira’s uncut US stage premiere (which ran a bit over four hours), but I didn’t arrive with high hopes based on CPO’s rather drippy 1994 recording by Andrew Lawrence-King and Fiori Musicali. However, Peterson assembled eight exceptionally well-prepared singers who made a strong case for Handel’s maiden effort. Friedrich Christian Feustking’s libretto--an adaptation of late […]
