After the Cantatas BWV 131 and 182, OehmsClassics is now delighted to present the second CD of the Arcis Vocalists.

The songs Mahler composer to folk poetry from the Wunderhorn anthology represent more than half of his total song output, but they are not typically retarded as an independent lied collection, let alone as a cycle. The fact that we will never know whether Mahler perceived a unity between his Wunderhorn songs, does not preclude the possibility of discovering an encompassing dramaturgy in them. That is exactly what acclaimed baritone Dietrich Henschel does on this integral recording. Teaming up with the equally celebrated Boris Berezovsky, whose powerful and evocative piano playing puts us in mind of Mahler’s orchestra, Henschel interprets the Wunderhorn poems may appear at fist sight, under their folk poetry surface looms a dark significance (captured in some of Mahler’s most exotic, most visionary but also most uncomfortable music): whether battle tunes or fairy-tales, the Wunderhorn songs conjure up a world which war compromises love, and renders all happiness suspicious.
Recent discs from Marc-André Hamelin have concentrated on music which is obscure, under-recorded or virtually unplayable. However in this latest recording he turns his attention to two mainstays of the Romantic repertoire: Chopin’s Piano Sonatas Nos 2 and 3. The results are simply staggering: playing of matchless brilliance and consummate artistry, stunningly recorded. As a recent critic of Hamelin’s live performance of the B minor sonata remarked, ‘Hamelin starts where most other pianists leave off … such was his control that frequently it seemed as though an extra dimension were being added, the music’s teeming internal life clarified by his ability to voice the inner parts’.The disc is completed by some of Chopin’s greatest single-movement works; the contrasting two Nocturnes of Op 27, the extraordinarily colouristic Berceuse Op 57 and the monumental Barcarolle in F sharp major. We think this is one of the most authoritative and important Chopin discs to have appeared in recent years—an unmissable release.

Grigory Ginzburg (1904-1961) was perhaps the most astounding virtuoso to emerge in Soviet Russia and it is a tragedy that he was never allowed to travel to the west after the mid 1930’s. He focussed his repertoire very much on the 19th century Romantic period and, above all, in Liszt, and his prolific recordings include many of Liszt’s virtuosic opera paraphrases that had fallen into neglect. This CD is the second of two devoted to his earliest 78rpm recordings mainly dating from around 1950. These discs are extremely rare and many of the performances included will be unknown to even the most ardent collectors. Of particular interest to pianophiles will be his supremely elegant Strauss transcriptions and the Schumann arrangements of Paganini Caprices.
