The Faces of Classical Music Choose the 20 Best Albums of 2019
Recording of the YearLudwig van Beethoven: Complete Piano SonatasIgor Levit, pianoRecorded at Neumarkt, Historischer Reitstadel, and Hanover, Leibniz Saal, and Berlin, Siemensvilla, in 2013-2018Released on September 13, 2019 by Sony ClassicalSix years ago Igor Levit burst on to the recording scene, making his debut with Beethoven's last five sonatas at the age of just 26. Now he completes that cycle, adding the remaining 27 sonatas to Opp. 101, 106 and 109-111 (which he hasn't re-recorded); these have been set down over the past three years, the most recent in January 2019; Sony has done wonders in providing a consistently fine sound, detailed and natural-sounding, across two different venues, in Hanover and Neumarkt – and so has his piano technician. The notes, too, by Anselm Cybinski, chime with Levit's intellectual world view.So far, so good: what of the music-making? That he is so inside these pieces will come as no surprise, for he […]

“Facce d'amore” – New album from Jakub Józef Orliński
Facce d'amore, "Faces of love" follows Jakub Józef Orliński's first solo album, Anima Sacra, which moved Gramophone magazine to announce that "This is a voice with a big future", and The Sunday Times, having extolled the "the unearthly beauty of Orliński's tone, his pearly coloratura and fabulous breath control", to say, "He's only 28, but this is a special voice to look out for". It brings a switch from the sacred to the personal and passionate. As the Polish-born, New York-trained countertenor says, the programme – which includes eight world premiere recordings – comprises "operatic arias that tell a story, showing a musical picture of a male lover in the baroque era – not only the positive side, like joyful or reciprocated love, but also anger or even madness". Spanning some 85 years of the baroque period, the arias on Facce d'amore are by Handel, Cavalli, Alessandro Scarlatti, Bononcini, Conti, […]
