Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic: The Inaugural Concert DVD, Gus

07 Jan, 2020

Definitely worth adding to however many Mahler's firsts you might have

An electrifying performance of what can only too often be boring and pedestrian. It lacks the Blumine movement which Mahler removed, but I didn't miss it.

Domenico Scarlatti Domenico Scarlatti: The Complete Sonatas (CD) Album

25 Feb, 2023

This is the way to learn to love the Great Scarlatti

I am a simple music-lover, who is crazy about Domenico Scarlatti. I have all of Fernando Valenti’s old Westminster recordings (364 sonatas – sadly he died before completing the canonical 555) all of which I have played several times and love. I recently purchased the complete Scott Ross collection on Warner Classics and although I have not yet listened to all of the 34 CDs those that I have heard, although very different from Valenti’s interpretations, I also love. Now I have listened to the first 30 of Richard Lester’s interpretations and I love them too. In my youth I was stupidly critical when I attended concerts: this pianist/conductor/etc. was too slow, this one was too fast, etc. Now, in my maturity, I have learnt to be more modest in my attitude towards musicians who have devoted their entire lives to their art, and I can relish their differing interpretations. So, it is with my harpsichord disc collection. Now for a word about sound quality, since I have read some adverse criticism about this MP3 set. Because my disc player does not recognize MP3, I converted the first 30 sonatas to WAV format (one at a time, using the “Audacity” freeware – simply “import” MP3 and “export” WAV, without attempting to edit in any way) and burnt the results onto 2 CDs. The resulting sound is superb to my ears, without any hint of distortion. [Incidentally, Audacity displays the wave forms of the two channels when one imports a file. I noticed that some of the sonatas had left-channel wave forms that I would have naively guessed represent gross distortion but, as I have emphasized here, I could hear only pure sweet harpsichord music.] So, finally, this 9-disc set is an incredible bargain. Imagine purchasing a subscription to attend live concerts of all these sonatas. Apart from the large fortune you would have to shell out, you would hear each sonata only once without being able to relive your enjoyment of the ones you particularly liked. On the other hand, with this set, you can study Richard Lester’s interpretations of your favorite sonatas over and over again – and learn from him to love some of the others too. Thank you, Nimbus for this wonderful gift.

Adolfo Fumagalli: Piano Music CD NEW

09 Sep, 2016

Thank you maestro Riva and Toccata Classics

On Friday 18 January 1856, world-renowned opera composer, and himself no mean pianist, Giacomo Meyerbeer wrote in his diary*: "Concert by the pianist Fumagalli in Teatro San Bernadetto. He belongs to the pianists of the very first order: extraordinary fluency, a very beautiful touch, noble, tender delivery. He played a fantasy on Le Prophete, a second on Robert [le Diable] entirely with the left hand, quite astounding." After praise such as this there is nothing to add except that pianist Adalberto Maria Riva enables us, in this excellently recorded live concert, to share some of Meyerbeer's enthusiasm. I shall look forward impatiently to Volume 2. [*The Diaries of Giacomo Meyerbeer, Vol. 3, 1850-1856: The Years of Celebrity. Translated, Edited, and Annotated by Robert Ignatius Letellier. (Associated University Presses, 2002) p. 360].
