Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition Orchestral & Solo Piano Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

The drunken sot who glares out at us from Ilya Repin?s celebrated portrait looks more like a tramp than a composer, and Mussorgsky?s music has a similarly uncompromising expressive power, music that seems to work despite rather thanbecause of itself. Pianists have wrestled with the unpianistic corners of his most famous work since he composed it in 1874 in memory of his friend, the painter Viktor Hartmann, who had died the previous year. Mussorgsky portrayed some of Hartmann's pictures in music when they were displayed at an exhibition in Saint Petersburg. The cycle of ten individual paintings is linked by the famous ?promenade?, symbolizing the viewer of the pictures wandering through the exhibition. Hartmann?s bold and puzzling vignettes find their perfect analogue in Mussorgsky?s pianistic reimagining, but fellow composers could hardly leave the orchestral potential of thisoften-awkward music alone. Ravel wasn?t the first to mix his orchestral palette with Mussorgsky?s colours, but his version has justly stood the test of time, and stands alone for its sensitivity to the pungent, folkloristic flavour of the original. Here is a rare and useful opportunity to compare the two versions side by side, completed by more music by Mussorgsky both wellknown (Night on Bare Mountain) and perhaps less familiar (assorted miniatures that make up the rest of the composer?s slender output for piano). The composer and conductor Igor Markevitch was a celebrated interpreter of Pictures, and this is his third recording.Mussorgsky?s ?Pictures at an Exhibition? is one of the most famous and most frequently performed romantic piano cycles of the entire repertoire. It contains colourful, highly original and gripping musical depictions of a series of painting by Mussorgsky?s friend Hartmann: the menacing and evil Gnomus, the mysterious Old Castle, the frolicsome chicks just out of the egg, quarrelling children, the busy marketplace full of chattering women, and then moving into more sinister regions of the Catacomb (?with the Dead in the language of the Dead?), the brutal force and terrorof the witch Baba Yaga, culminating in the glorious Great Gate of Kiev. This work is so rich and ?picturesque? , that it is hard to resist to make an orchestral arrangement of it, and several composers wrote their own orchestration, the most famous that by Maurice Ravel (a master orchestrator). Nevertheless the piano score leaves ample opportunity totrigger the creativity of the pianist, and the interpretation by Russian pianist Alexander Warenberg is one of great imagination and authority. ? This release offers both the original piano version and the Ravel orchestration, filled up with the orchestral ?A Night on Bare Mountain? and the more modest, but no less impressive piano cycle by Tchaikovsky: The Seasons.Other information:?Markevitch has succeeded in bringing out the purely Russian nature of the score while most of the otherconductors seem to be unduly influenced by Ravel?s orchestration?

Ravel: Arrangements For Wind Quintet Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

Maurice Ravel is famed as a master of orchestral colour, in the context not only of his own work but that of others, most notably Mussorgsky's awkward but brilliant piano original of Pictures at an Exhibition, and yet he wrote almost no music for the orchestra in origin, but instead arranged pieces conceived at and for the piano; so why not follow his lead and transcribe his music for another palette of instrumental colours? This was the rationale of the young and already-acclaimed members of the Orlando Quintet, who commissioned Mark Popkin and Wayne Peterson to fit three works of diverse origin within Ravel's output to the compact ensemble of the wind quintet, and the results are, as we can hear on this new recording, consistently engaging, imparting a pungency that never breaks the line or occludes Ravel's melodic genius for a sad song, such as one finds in the second movement of the string quartet, in part at least because the wind ensemble preserves that vocal quality which can be heard even in Ravel's 'abstract' instrumental music, which yet reflects the culture and vibrant colours of his native Provence, and the melancholy temperament of a deeply reserved individual, with no less precision than the operas and ballets from his pen.Other information:- Recorded December 2012.- A sheer delight: arrangements for wind ensemble of three of Ravel's masterpieces!- Ravel himself was an avid arranger/transcriber of his own music, a master orchestrator, with an incredible ear for timbre and colour. A real treat therefore to listen to these excellent arrangements of the Sonatine (original piano solo), the string quartet and the popular suite from Ma mere l'oye (original piano 4 hands). The combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn offers a completely new spectrum of sounds and colours, without doing any injustice to the original: good music stands firm in any good arrangement!- Superb performances by Dutch elite players, soloists and first desk players of the Amsterdam and Rotterdam orchestras.- Booklet note introductions to the transcriptions and the music.- Extensive and personal liner notes written by all members of the quintet.
