Gay/RSB/Jurowski - Telemann, Boismortier, Ravel, Ibert, and Strauss, 12 October 2023
[…] with great élan, the conductor himself leading from tambourine in the first march. Oboes, bassoons, and harpsichord offered a fine Gallic contrast in the second tambourin. The chaconne proved piquant and full of surprises, from its opening gong stroke onwards. Through its twists and turns of mood and material, Jurowski never forgot this was a single dance; nor did we. Bass-baritone Paul Gay joined the orchestra for two sets of songs intended for Georg Wilhelm Pabst’s film starring Feodor Chaliapin. Ravel’s short song-cycle, his final completed work, was written too late for inclusion, but Jacques Ibert’s four songs were sung both in the film and in a recording made by Chaliapin and Ibert. Neither composer sets Cervantes: Ravel opted for contemporary texts by Paul Morand, whereas Ibert’s selection mixed old and new with Pierre de Ronsard and Alexander Arnoux.

Finally, there is Medtner and Liadov and a record dedicated to her father, and to Nelly Akopian-Tamarina’s ‘remembrance of things past’ but ever present. Few more thought- and heart-provoking records exist. Reviewed by Bryce Morrison Biographical note: Nelly Akopian-Tamarina studied at the Moscow Conservatoire, she was one of the last pupils of the legendary Alexander Goldenweiser (1876-1961) (who had studied with Alexander Siloti, Pavel Pabst, Mikhail Ippolitov Ivanov, Anton Arensky and Sergey Taneyev), and the first of Dmitri Bashkirov.
