DEBUSSY: Preludes, Book 2 [TrackList follows] – Hristo Kazakov, piano – self
Hristo Kazakov concludes a brace of fine Debussy Preludes albums.
FLORENT SCHMITT: Le Petit Elfe Ferme-l’Oeil (The Dream God); Introit, Recit et Conge for Cello and Orch. – Soloists/ Orch. Nat. de Lorraine/ Jacques Mercier – Timpani
Two unbelievably spectacular premiere recordings that should be on everyone’s “gotta have” list.
“Twentieth-Century Sonatas for Cello and Piano” = by BRIDGE, DELIUS, IRELAND, RUBBRA, CLARKE & KEYS – Alexander Baillie, cello/ John Thwaites, p. – Somm (2 CDs)
Excellent performances and a pretty much unmatched program of English chamber music with cello.
GRIFFES: Piano Music = Three Tone-Pictures; Fantasy Pieces; Roman Sketches; Piano Sonata; De profundis; A Winter Landscape; Three Preludes – Garrick Ohlsson, p. – Hyperion
A glorious performance of these important piano works by one of the finest pianists.
ISAAC ALBÉNIZ: Iberia (complete) – Peter Schaaf, piano – Victor Elmaleh Collection
A most welcome attempt at one of the mountain of the literature.
ALBÉNIZ: Serenata = Prelude, Cordoba, Oriental; Granada, Sevilla; Mallorca; Zambra Granadina; Torre Bermeja – Stephen Marchionda, guitar – MDG
The perfumed romance of Albéniz is in large supply on this fine disc.
AUBERT LEMELAND: Symphony No. 6, “Les Eléments”; Time Landscapes; Mémorial, “Dieppe”; Concert Nocturne – Staatsorchester Rheinische Philharmonie /soloists/Jose Serebrier – Skarbo HERMANN NITSCH: Symphony No. 9 – Peter J. Marthe, cond. – Gramola (2)
I almost hesitate to review these two discs together. But here goes anyway. . . .
