CLASSICAL

Ysaÿe’s Sonatas for solo violin were sketched out in a fevered twenty-four hours during the summer of 1923, a response to the question of why — in over two hundred years — no one had attempted to follow the path forged by Johann Sebastian Bach. Russian virtuoso Alina Ibragimova, whose earlier recording of Bach’s Sonatas & Partitas was revelatory, turns out performances fully worthy of this distinguished ancestry.

SCHMIERER Zodiaci Musici — Orchestral Suites

IMPORT There are few composers who have vanished into the darkness of music history to the extent of Johann Abraham Schmierer. Some listeners may wonder why this lovely music has not been recorded earlier. One reason is that six of the suites from Zodiaci Musici are missing. Another, strangely enough, may be the composer’s name. Schmierer is German for “scribbler,” and this sobriquet may have biased some against his music without ever hearing it. This release, featuring Petr Wagner and his Ensemble Tourbillon, makes a strong case for Schmierer’s rehabilitation.

IMPORT Until the mid-sixteenth century, the cello was only used for accompanying purposes. It was not until around 1660 that the cello came into its own, Price Code: 2A13 thanks to some alterations that were made to the (2 CD Set, Suggested Retail Price: $27.98) instrument by luthiers in Bologna. Therefore it is no surprise that the first composers for the cello were Italian. The first disc of this anthology presents the origins of the solo literature, with works by Domenico Gabrielli, Bononcini and Marcello. The second features sonatas by Geminiani and Vivaldi. Roel Dieltiens is the soloist on this fascinating collection.

The rich colors (Suggested Retail Price: $21.98) of Spain were enticing as well, and many composers blended the traditional sounds of Spain into their works. This disc featuring Les Siècles led by François-Xavier Roth, samples some of the finest compositions in this vein including music by Chabrier, Massenet, Ravel and Debussy.

In a way, through them the listener gets to know the artist a little better, as Price Code: A21 encore choices reveal tastes and personality. This (Suggested Retail Price: $21.98) collection featuring pianist Tristan Pfaff includes works from diverse periods and provenance. From the Baroque era with Bach to music of the 20th century with Prokofiev and Kabalevsky, a broad musical horizon is surveyed. Popular song is also present here, with Gershwin’s “The Man I Love” in its piano version.

Vassily Sapellnikoff & Xaver Scharwenka — The Complete Recordings

IMPORT Vassily Sapellnikoff (1868–1941) and Xaver Scharwenka (1850–1924) were among the earliest generation of pianists to record, and on this ground Price Code: A19 alone it is surprising that their complete recordings (2 CD Set, Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) have never before been transferred to CD. Not only do they give us a fascinating insight into nineteenth-century pianism, but in Sapellnikoff ’s Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 (the premiere recording of the work) we hear the pianist who, after his 1888 Hamburg performance under the composer’s baton, went on to become Tchaikovsky’s favored soloist.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Ragazze Quartet Channel Classics • CCS SA 36815 IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD The Ragazze Quartet is a young Dutch/British string quartet acclaimed for its musical enthusiasm, talent, versatility and dynamic presentation.

On Cesko, they take us across Europe to the extraordinary land of Bohemia (popularly known as Cesko, but officially the Czech Republic), the homeland of composers Antonín Dvorák and Erwin Schulhoff.

The indescribable energy of this music transports us. Its folk melodies and harmonies reveal the essence of a nation steeped in a deep cultural history. Both composers were masters of merging the old with the new and fusing a rich new musical heritage.

“The Ragazze Quartet plays with energy and conviction.”

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Romaria — Choral music from Brazil

IMPORT Romaria – a word suggesting pilgrimage, crowds, and processions – evokes much of what is distinctive about modern Brazil – its mix of people, its vibrancy, its faith. This survey of modern Brazilian choral music reflects these qualities, as well as the natural wonders of this amazing land. Geoffrey Webber and his ever-adventurous choir sing both sacred and secular works dating from the 1950s to the present, in a program developed in conjunction with the University of São Paulo’s music department. Founded in 1348, Caius College Choir is one of Britain’s leading collegiate choirs and this is their eighth recording on Delphian.

IMPORT Celebrated Spanish pianist Javier Perianes joins forces with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sakari Oramo for a performance of one of Grieg’s most popular works. Composed when he was just 24, Grieg’s Piano Concerto combines elements of the Romantic style with motifs typically found in Norwegian folk music. Grieg felt more comfortable writing in miniature forms and in 35 years, produced no fewer than 66 Lyric Pieces – every one a gem. The Piano Concerto is paired here with selections from that collection, including the popular March of the Trolls, the poetic Homesickness and his final lyric piece, Remembrances.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Ensemble Pygmalion, Raphaël Pichon harmonia mundi • HMC 902212

IMPORT Rameau’s third opera, Castor & Pollux, was first performed in 1737. It follows the story of twin brothers, the mortal Castor and the immortal Pollux. These famous heroes are both in love with the Princess Telaira but she loves only Castor. When Castor is killed in battle, Pollux, yielding to the pleas of Telaira, journeys to the underworld to take his place.

However, Jupiter’s divine intervention grants them both immortality.

The opera ends as they take their place in the zodiac as the constellation Gemini. Rameau made substantial cuts, alterations and additions to the work for its revival in 1754. Scholars have long argued over which version is superior. On this release, Raphaël Pichon and the Ensemble Pygmalion make a passionate case for the 1754 edition of one of Rameau’s finest works.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Melani Mestre (piano) BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Martyn Brabbins Hyperion • CDA 67918 IMPORT Volume 65 of Hyperion’s Romantic Piano Concerto series journeys to Spain.

The Albéniz Concierto fantástico owes much to Schumann and Chopin, albeit with an added drizzle of the Iberian peninsula; the perennially popular Rapsodia española, on the other hand, throws all such classical models to the wind. Granados never actually got round to writing his piano concerto, so our pianist here — Hyperion debutant Melani Mestre — has done it for him. And it’s a romp. The first movement is pretty much ‘echt,’ from Granados’s sketches for a putative piano concerto, but thereafter it’s a hugely enjoyable “what-if.”

JACQUET OF MANTUA Missa Surge Petre, Motets

IMPORT Jacquet of Mantua is not a household name. Even in the sixteenth century he was routinely mixed up with other composers of similar (or even not-thatPrice Code: A19 similar) names. But his music is quite apart, as this (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) new recording makes abundantly clear: melodic lines of audacious scope and a textural variety rarely equaled make this music a treasurable discovery, and one which The Brabant Ensemble’s performances greatly enrich.

Coupled with it here (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) is the first recording of Stephen Hough’s Missa Mirabilis (the title derives from an unfortunate motorway incident), a work which shares with the Vaughan Williams an ability to seem very much greater than the sum of its parts.

The lush sounds of the additional instruments provided a darker sonority that suited Brahms’s complex and rich contrapuntal and tonal palate. The work’s premiere was led by Joseph Joachim, a champion of the Beethoven concerto, and a lifelong friend of Brahms.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Roberto Fonseca, Fatoumata Diawara Jazz Village • JV 570080

IMPORT File in: Jazz At Home was recorded live in 2014 at the Jazz in Marciac festival. The show was part of a 45-day tour initiated by the meeting of Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca and Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara at a small studio in Paris. The two musicians found they shared the same outlook, and within a few minutes of meeting, the smiles began to flow. There were many magic moments to follow, as Roberto’s spirituality and Fatoumata’s sensitivity blended into an awesome sound that goes straight to the heart. On tour around Europe, the seven people in the group made it their mission to discover the Mali in Roberto and the Cuba in Fatoumata. This special album displays the talents of two artists who, for a time, ceased to be two and became one.

At his side were French producers The Jazzbastards and fellow world-class musicians including Damon Albarn. This vinyl release from Jazz Village features remixes of two of the album’s finest tracks.

The German/Chilean duo Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer reinvented “African Man,” and with his knowledge of minimalist beats, Londoner Fort Romeau injected a sophisticated disco-esque rhythm into “Go Back.” The results are half-way between deep house revival and sci-fi soul.
