For decades the Mozarteum Argentino has been the main force in bringing us important orchestras from all over the world. Back in 1978 we had the first Argentine visit of the Zürich Tonhalle Orchestra, conducted by their Principal Conductor Gerd Albrecht. The presence of the Tonhalle confirmed its European prestige. Then, in 1988 they returned with Hiroshi Wakasugi, their PC at the time, with pianist Rudolf Buchbinder; another positive experience. The venue was then and now the Colón. And this season they returned with their new PC, Lionel Bringuier, and the violinist Lisa Batiashvili. And the results were nothing short of stunning. The artists have youth in common: Bringuier is only 30, born in Nice, and was named PC at 28! […]

[…] Downes in the sleeve note as pointing "...towards the possibility of still greater beauty in the future, both musical and spiritual..." Another garden in Kyoto, that of the Saiho-ji Temple designed by the 14th century Zen priest Muso Soseki, inspired the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) to write his Dream/Window for orchestra. That work was one of Takemitsu's orchestral works recorded for Denon by the Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra conducted by Hiroshi Wakasugi in the early 1990s. Also on the discs was Spirit Garden which uses a twelve note row to generate three chords each of four notes, with these sound 'objects' being heard in a sonic garden from different perspectives. Re-issue specialists Brilliant Classics have released the Takemitsu orchestral works at sub-budget price. The two disc set provides an excellent introduction for newcomers to the composer's music, but are also a valuable resource for […]
