In 1903, Edward Grieg recorded several piano pieces for a gramophone in Paris. Those recordings, included in te CD, form the basis of the “emulation” of these works by pianist Sigurd Slåttebrekk. On Grieg’s own 1892 Steinway at his home in Troldhaugen these works were recorded again, with Grieg’s own recordings as guideline. How tight he follows Grieg in his recording shows track 24, where Slåttebrekk’s and Grieg’s recording alternatively overlap. Seamless… Of the solo recordings that Grieg did not record, Slåttebrekk plays the 20 minute Ballade. It’s the highlight of this CD and the best recording I know of this piece. Two movements of the opus 7 e minor sonata are played in the truncated version Grieg recorded and, later on, the complete uncut sonata is performed by Sigurd Slåttebrekk.</span></p>

<p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So here is an other hour of Baroque music, with three big and bold Baroque works. </span></p>
<p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Fasch, Händel and Bach knew each other works and respected each other. The “grande” overture in g minor is played by the Belgian ensemble Il Fondamento. Their recordings are always a bit hit or miss to my opinion. But this Fasch recording is a hit. </span></p>
<p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p>

That concerto borrowed material of the so-called Fitzwilliam Overture (HWV 424) and the opera Partenope (HWV 27). The organ concerto in this form was probably performed with the oratorio, Judas Maccabaeus (HWV 63) in 1747. </span></p>

The label kickstarted the career of Alfred Brendel and attracted well known artists as Otto Klemperer, Lili Krauss and Riccardo Ricci.

Yet, occasionally, a raven swoops through an open window, its cry echoing ‘nevermore, nevermore.’ I’ve been a devoted fan of Valentina Tóth ever since she joined a Dutch radio station’s forum and shared her captivating live recordings. Her performances are vibrant, evoking the joy that Marie Kondo might describe. I eagerly acquired her two CDs featuring music by Hungarian composers, anticipating perhaps a rendition of Bartók’s Second Concerto or Prokofiev’s Third. However, for Valentina, the classical world failed to ignite that same spark of joy. As a child, she graced musical stages, but dissatisfied with the trajectory of her life as a classical pianist, she ventured into drama school and blossomed into an award-winning comedian. Now, she tours the Netherlands with her highly acclaimed show, and interviews reveal how this shift has amplified her happiness. Still, a raven circles my thoughts, its mournful cry echoing ‘nevermore, nevermore...</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">’ Well, I can share the recordings. My favorite track? The Christmas pastorale by Dohnányi, performed with unparalleled brilliance—surpassing even Zoltán Kocsis and the composer’s own rendition.

Here is a curated playlist!</span></p><div><p style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">First, let’s explore the melodious lute concerto by Johann Friedrich Fasch, a German composer who, just before Bach’s arrival, founded a ‘Collegium musicum’ in Leipzig. This initiative paved the way for an orchestral concert culture in the city. Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow, the (only!) teacher Georg Friedrich Händel ever had, remains an intriguing figure. Unfortunately, I couldn’t trace the specific New Year’s Day for which the cantata “Preiset Mit Mir Den Herren” was written, but I hold great admiration for this exceptional work.</p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Now, let’s delve into Handel’s famous harp concerto. Interestingly, the manuscript cover reads “Concerto per il Liuto e l’Harpa.” That “e” is crucial—it signifies “and,” not “or.” So, was it a misprint, or was it genuinely intended for both harp and lute to play? In this recording by La Divina Armonia, we find the latter to be the case.</p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Georg Philipp Telemann, known for his “faithful music master,” issued a musical magazine containing pieces for home enjoyment. Among the 1728 monthly issues, there was a partita for harpsichord. Pay attention to the third movement titled “Rondeau” (track 17). Could Mozart have been influenced by this piece? It almost foreshadows his aria “Batti, Batt bel masetto.” Feel free to hum along with the melody!</p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Lastly, let’s transition from the Baroque era to classical music with Jakob Friedrich Kleinknecht’s 1748 trio sonata for two flutes and continuo. Remarkably, Kleinknecht worked in Bayreuth a century before Wagner.

First, as a 17-year-old in 1826, he wrote a concert overture, and later in 1842, a few years before his death, he wrote incidental music for a production of the play, incorporating the existing overture. Chailly’s Gewandhaus performance is lively and effective. Listen to that donkey clarinet in the overture! </span></p>

Martin Helmchen’s entrance in this piece might irritate some people (it did me), but the continuation makes it one of the most meaningful interpretations of Weber’s note spinning I have ever heard.</span></p>

The Donaueschingen Festival, founded in 1921, has been a platform for promoting unknown and controversial talent and experimenting with new forms of expression. The CD box covers 75 years of musical history, from the early 20th century to the late 1990s, featuring works by composers such as Paul Hindemith, Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schönberg, Wolfgang Rhim and many, many others…</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); color: #0e0e0e;"> </span></span></p>

The tracklist is quite extensive, so if you want to search the Composers and performers <a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/10638507-Various-75-Jahre-Donaueschinger-Musiktage-1921-1996-" target="_blank">check this Discogs list</a>. Strange enough, the year the work was composed is not on Discogs, but you can read it in the title of the Spotify metadata. </span></p>

They give me a romantic “historic sensation” of listening to the same sounds as someone who bought these recordings a long time ago. Just like old books, they transport me to a different era.</p>
<p style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p>

What you miss, though, is the physical 78 rpm disc and some of the romanticism that comes with it. But at least you have the chance to hear rare records like these 1927-1928 recordings of conductor Erich Kleiber (1890-1956). He is now mainly known as “the father of” Carlos Kleiber, but he was a well-respected “kapellmeister” in his own time, with a focus on the works of Richard Strauss and Alban Berg. The latter displeased the Nazis, which was one of the reasons he immigrated to Argentina in 1936.</p>

A thrilling Johann Strauss Fledermaus overture, matched by one of the best performances I know of Rossini’s William Tell overture. I chose the 1928 recording of Smetana’s Moldau. It is sonically less “open” than the 1927 recording, but it has some thrilling moments. The Merry Wives of Windsor by German composer Otto Nicolai and the Roman Carnival overture by Berlioz complete this set. I hope you will enjoy this selection!</p>

Such as this Hyperion CD with the string quartets of Mozart’s pupil Johann Nepomuk Hummel. His opus 30 string quartets, composed around 1803, were a reaction to Beethoven’s opus 18 string quartets from 1801. The “own voice” of Hummel is especially notable in the menuettos of the quartets. Jumpy, unexpected twists and an own harmonic language (admired by Robert Schumann, no less) give these movements an unmistakable autograph by the composer. I hope you will enjoy these works as much as I did over the past years.</span></span><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><b>Johann Nepomuk Hummel</b> (1778-1837)</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">-String Quartet In C Major, Op 30 No 1:</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">1<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Adagio E Mesto – Allegro Ma Non Troppo</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">2<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Menuetto: Allegro Assai</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">3<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Adagio E Cantabile</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">4<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allegro Vivace</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">-String Quartet In G Major, Op 30 No 2:</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">5<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allegro Con Brio</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">6<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Andante: Grazioso</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">7<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Menuetto: Allegro Con Fuoco</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">8<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Finale: Vivace<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4:43</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">-String Quartet In E Flat Major, Op 30 No 3:</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">9<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allegro Con Spirito</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">10<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Andante</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">11<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allemande E Alternativo</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">12<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Finale: Presto</span></div></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">The Delmé quartet:</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">Violins – Galina Solodchin, John Trusler</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">Viola – John Underwood</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">Cello – Jonathan Williams</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">Recorded on 9–11 September 1991</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having watched the semi-finals of the Queen Elisabeth violin competition in Brussels, I noticed that the conductor there was Jean-Jacques Kantorow. As he was a solo-violinist for many years, he was a perfect accompanist for all the candidates in that contest. Almost at the same time someone attended me to a new CD by his piano playing son Alexandre Kantorow, who performed three of the five piano concerto’s bij Saint-Saens. Very fine performances and the not so often recorded third receives the best and most convincing performance I have ever heard! I thought it would be a nice idea to combine Jean-Jacques Kantorow’s recording of violin works by Saint-Saens with the new recording of him and his son.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Oh, why do we need the X’st cycle of… (fill in)” is an often heard complain when people discuss a symphony or concerto cycle by a well known composer. In the days that CD boxes were 20 to 50 euro’s, I could understand that criticism, but with Spotify, a well played, well recorded cycle is often very much welcomed by me. Especially when as well played as this Brahms cycle by the WDR symphony orchestra under Jukka-Pekka Saraste. Symphony no’s 1 and 3 already caught my attention around Christmas 2017, when I found them on Spotify and a while ago I discovered that the complete cycle was online. Just listen for yourself. Fine music making, new details and musicians who really put their heart in this music. </span></span></div>

Well, forget it, buy a CD...!!<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was around 2004 when one of the most anti-radio verdicts was stated by then Avro program manager Ad ’s-Gravesande. After banning organ music from the classical PBS station radio 4 he was asked where organ lovers should go to after the ban he replied: “let them buy a CD” …</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Weird, because “Dutch organ culture” was the winner of a public query in the search of the penultimate Dutch music culture. I remembered this ban, just after I heard one of the finest organ players of the Netherlands, <b>Piet Kee</b>, <a href="http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Kee-Piet.htm" target="_blank">had died at the age of 90, last week</a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the 1990’s he recorded a couple of splendid organ CD’s for the Chandos Chaconne label. The one I always liked best was the one with the 1743/1750 Weingarten organ. An organ filled with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_of_the_Basilica_of_St._Martin_(Weingarten)" target="_blank">myths, stories and unique stops,</a> as can be heard in the last two tracks of this CD. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Belgian composer Charles Auguste de Bériot had a successful career, but a rather sad life. After difficulties getting his new style of violin playing accepted in the 1820’s, he enjoyed succes with his many violin concerto’s. He declined an offer to lecture in Paris, but started to teach in Brussels, where he founded the Belgian violin school, where his pupil Henri Vieuxtemps and Eugene Ysaye are the best known examples of. After a couple of years he lost his eyesight and became blind. His left arm was paralyzed and cut off (!) to relief him from the pain. Brrr….</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of his concerto’s, no 7 and no 9 are played most often, but I have a weak spot for no 8, composed in 1856. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anton Rubinstein (no relation to the pianist) was one of the most important Russian composers and pianists, according to the 19th century critics. Yet he was outshined by his pupil Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky. Both men had a rocky relationship, but always stayed in touch, or went to parties together, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DEEdFLjUiw" target="_blank">as this unique 1890 phonograph recording shows</a>. Nope, not a hoax, in the house of Julius Block Rubinstein and Tchaikovsky can be heard speaking and whistling (!).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anton Rubinstein’s last symphony, his Symphony no 6 was written in 1886. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alexander Borodin wrote his piano quintet in Italy, 1862, when his fiancee, the pianist Yekaterina Protopopova, was there for the recovery of a disease. The 28 year composer would meet with Balakirev soon after the couple returned and this fine quintet was the last work of his early period. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A closet full of CD’s. Full price CD’s, all bought around 1995. That is what I saw in a house in Leiden, the Netherlands. At 22 euro per CD, this collection costed the owner tens of thousands of Euro’s. And now all sold for one euro per CD, only 20 years later…</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And I remembered that as a student I bought 2 CD boxes that made me broke at that time. 99 Dutch guilders (around 45 euro) for a double CD with Messiaen and 88 guilders for Mahler 7. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And now, for 10 euro per month, I can share these CD’s (and many, many more) with you.</span></span></div>

Aimi Kobayashi plays Chopin and Liszt.<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2006, youtube was a novelty, and one of the early viral video’s was Mozart’s 26th piano concerto, played by the then 11 year old Aimi Kobayashi. The original video has been deleted (after millions of views), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50CJTm2tLuQ" target="_blank">but a copy was uploaded later on.</a> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And now, 12 years later, Aimi has her first CD for Warner classics. The Chopin might be just a bit too Rachmaninovesque, but I urge you to listen to <b>tracks 8 and 9</b>, Liszt. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes you have these CD’s that are only half successful. When soprano <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anja_Harteros" target="_blank">Anja Harteros</a> started a 2009 recital with Haydn (too big), Beethoven (ok), Schubert (slow and unimpressive), and Schumann (missing the mark) I thought this was a wasted opportunity. But then, the night, a Richard Strauss song from 1885 and everything fell in to place… The voice fitted, the interpretation was spot on and the remainder of the CD glued me to the loudspeakers. I combined the successful part of the recital with a glorious 2009 recording of Strauss four last songs, live, with Mariss Jansons as conductor. The bonus is the two Beethoven songs from the recital, more opera arias than songs here, but a fine finish to this vocal playlist. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stumbled upon a fine re-issue on the excellent (Australian!) Decca eloquence series:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Hungarian conductor Antal Dorati performing in the Netherlands, during the 1950’s.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The two best orchestras at that time were the Amsterdam Concertgebouw orchestra and the now somewhat forgotten the Hague based Residentie orchestra. The latter flourished under principal conductor Willem van Otterloo and had also had been conducted by Arturo Toscanini, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWlYVw8Oew" target="_blank">as you can hear here</a>. One of the pieces recorded by Dorati in the Hague was the “Piet Hein rapsodie” from the first principal conductor of the Residentie orchestra, Peter van Anrooy, composed in 1901. The September 1959 recordings in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam were originally planned for Eduard van Beinum. Because of his unexpected death in april 1959, Dorati was asked to take his place. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is a “sort of virtual concert” with works where sound color occupies an important place. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_Concerto_No._1_(Szymanowski)" target="_blank">Szymanowski’s World War one violin concerto</a> is perfumed with fragrant instrumentation, rhapsodic in form and has, in my opinion, one of the most hypnotic endings of any concerto I’ve ever heard.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Arnold Schönberg’s 5 orchestral pieces from 1909 are the starting point of <br />
“<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klangfarbenmelodie" target="_blank">Klangfarbenmelodie</a>”, the technique of separating a melody over several instruments. </span></span></div>

In each of them the high register, symbolizing the sky and the low register, symbolizing hell with instruments like trombones, tubas - including three Wagnerian tubas - and double bassoons, oppose each other. In this struggle between light and shadow, with the orchestra playing the role of fate, “divine unity" is symbolized by unison, achieved in the transition from the fourth to the fifth episode. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is it because these players are from Canada? Or is it they are represented on a small label rather than the glam and marketing budget of a major label? Anyway, I came across these recordings on Spotify and was hooked. This is one of the finest set of Mozart chamber works I have encountered in a while. Artur Schnabel once famously said, “Mozart piano sonatas are too easy for children and too difficult for adults”. Well, the same counts for many of these works and the “naturalness” of playing by the Gryphon’s suits the music so well…! </span></span></div>

And you play violin? Then you must be related to…<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">…István Kertész! And yes she is.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But not István Kertész the conductor…! Of course the “is she related to” question popped in my mind, so I wrote a mail to the quartet’s website. The anewer revealed that she is related to a István Kertész, the primarius of the renown and pioneering Festetics Quartet. They were one of the first string quartets playing on “authentic instruments”, just like the Kertész Quartet, by the way. But what does these trivialities matter, the Kertész Quartet made a splendid recording of an unknown Bohemian composer named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Jind%C5%99ich_Veit" target="_blank">Wenzel Heinrich Veit</a>. Fine music, compared in <a href="http://www.wtju.net/wenzel-heinrich-veit-string-quartets-vol-1-individual-voice/" target="_blank">this review to Ludwig Spohr</a>, but with enough own voice to be recommended by me. To fill the playlist I found two recordings by the Festetics Quartet that drew praise from <a href="https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-3229/" target="_blank">Classics today (Haydn, Emperor quartet)</a> and the Gramophone (Haydn’s last, unfinished d minor quartet from 1803) and fit nicely between the two Veit quartets. Hope you will like this playlist as much as I did the last couple of weeks ;-) </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently I have heard two CD’s from the “little” composer Antonín Rejcha (also known als Anton Reicha of Antoine Reicha 1770-1836, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Reicha" target="_blank">“lifelong friend of van Beethoven”</a>) that took me by surprise. One with chamber music and one with piano works, that I found browsing through the BBC Music Magazine. Fine and original music, reminding me of Carl Philip Emanuel Bach in the keyboard works. The Quintet and quartet are part of a 3 CD box, with different performers, of which the first CD with Quartor Girard stands out. Coupled them together and *just listen*, I would say.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The joy of Spotify, finding, at random, a CD you heard on the radio many years ago and now can re-listen. Dutch “lost generation” composers, too modern for the pre- WW2 audience, too “not avant-garde” for the post-WW2 audience. <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik_Andriessen" target="_blank">Hendrik Andriessen</a> (1892-1983)</b> is the father of better known composer Louis Andriessen. <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henk_Badings" target="_blank">Henk Badings</a> (1907-1987) </b>was, although never a serialist, also a pioneer on electronic music. <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9on_Orthel" target="_blank">Léon Orthel</a> (1905 - 1985) </b>was a student of Paul Juon and Curt Sachs, was for 30 years piano teacher at the Royal conservatory in the Hague and composition teacher in Amsterdam. <b><a href="http://www.forbiddenmusicregained.org/search/composer/id/100022" target="_blank">Marius Flothuis</a> (1914-2001)</b> was, besides composer, also a world famous musicologist and from 1955 to 1974 artistic leader of the Concertgebouworchestra, Amsterdam. Hope you will enjoy it! </span></span></div>
