Paulina Viardot-García, hiszpańska śpiewaczka i kompozytorka należała do grona najbliższych przyjaciół Fryderyka Chopina. zafascynowana jego mazurkami, za aprobatą kompozytora, dwanaście z nich przełożyła na głos z fortepianem, a Chopin akompaniował jej osobiście podczas wykonań tych transkrypcji na wspólnych koncertach. Płytę uzupełnia opracowanie kolejnych trzech mazurków autorstwa Luigi Bordese, tradycyjnie przypisywane Viardot. Nagranie jest próbą przybliżenia współczesnemu odbiorcy XIX-wiecznego stylu kameralistyki wokalno-instrumentalnej. Jest też, obok wydanej w 2010 roku, opery “Chopin” Giacomo Orefice (DUX 0775/0776) świadectwem fascynacji dziewiętnastowiecznych elit muzycznych Europy muzyką Chopina. Gorąco polecamy to stylowe nagranie w wykonaniu sopranistki Małgorzaty Kubali i barytona Ryszarda Cieśli oraz akompaniującego im na historycznym fortepianie hiszpańskiego artysty Francisco Soriano. Proszę zwrócić uwagę, że dzisiejsza prezentacja jest również polsko – hiszpańska, choć w postaci a rebours.Małgorzata Kubala – sopran koloraturowy | coloratura soprano Ryszard Cieśla – baryton | baritone 6, 12, 13 - 15 Francisco Soriano – fortepian | piano
As a composer and also as a self-aggrandizing personality, Giovanni Paolo Foscarini left his mark on the guitar world. Both Giovanni Battista Granata as well as Gaspar Sanz mentioned his influence in their guitar books.The Foscarini Experience, founded by guitarist Frank Pschichholz, has long been fascinated by Foscarini’s enigmatic writings, which like his life are difficult to decipher and follow. Frank Pschichholz experimented with various instrumentations and ultimately found his way to the tried and true formation of guitar, bass, and percussion, and indeed in such a rousing manner that one cannot imagine Foscarini’s music played in any other fashion. Frank Pschichholz becomes Il Furioso (Foscarini’s self-aggrandizing figure), and with his virtuoso and accentuated playing, it is easy to imagine him journeying from France to Italy, accompanied by the versatile bass player Daniel Zorzano and Nora Thiel’s percussive arts.
Amerykanka Hilary Hahn jak nikt inny czuje muzykę swego rodaka Charlesa Ivesa. Udowadnia to znakomitym albumem, z nowymi w katalogu Deutsche Grammophon , rzadko nagrywanymi utworami tego kompozytora – czterema sonatami na skrzypce i fortepian. Artystce towarzyszy pianistka Valentina Lisitsa, z którą udało się skrzypaczce osiągnąć równie rzadko spotykane porozumienie.

Tracklista:
Lawrence Power, Britain’s acknowledged greatest living performer on the viola, turns his attention to an incalculably important body of work for the instrument: a complete survey of Hindemith’s music for viola. Hindemith himself was an internationally renowned violist and gave the premiere of Walton’s Viola Concerto, writing more solo repertoire for the viola than for any other instrument. Hindemith is a genuinely undervalued composer, with a popular impression of his music as uncompromisingly gritty which will be proved by this series to be entirely undeserved.The Viola Sonata in F major Op 11 No 4 is a graceful and charming work that may surprise those who are only aware of Hindemith’s place in the European avant-garde. The stunningly melodic opening of the first movement and the lullaby-like tune which features in the Finale comprise some of the most romantic music the composer ever wrote. The Sonata Op 25 No 4, written only three years later, shows the development of Hindemith’s style in the intervening period: an altogether tauter construction, in the leaner, rhythmically highly directed idiom that had rapidly evolved in those years. The piano plays an unusually prominent role. The Meditation for viola and piano of 1938 is a transcription of a peaceful movement from his ballet of the same year about St Francis of Assisi, Nobilissima visiona, depicting the saint at prayer: it will be familiar to concert-goers as the opening portion of the orchestral suite that Hindemith also fashioned from the ballet. The music is a kind of distillation of his mature idiom, gravely flowing and serene.GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE'Not since the days of William Primrose have I heard Hindemith's viola music played with such warmth and conviction' (Gramophone)'Some of Hindemith's most haunting tunes went into his viola music … This is the first volume of a projected and very welcome series devoted to the viola works of a composer who played the instrument himself and wrote prolifically for it … [Sonata no 4] gives Power a chance to show off the gorgeously smooth tone of his 400-year-old instrument … Power's acute sense of phrasing makes for an eloquent and elegiac 'Meditation' (BBC Music Magazine)'Both players have the measure of this music, both technically and musically. They offer more verve and variety of both tone and musical approach than Kim Kashkashian and Robert Levin for ECM … All in all, these are excellent, well-recorded performances of these fine works, brooding and turbulent in the best traditions of the early twentieth century' (International Record Review)'Power plays with his piercing intelligence of tone; Crawford-Phillips' pianism is quick with life' (The Sunday Times)
