Romance - Frits Damrow, trumpet - Eri Hayase, piano

Romance - Frits Damrow, trumpet - Eri Hayase, piano
ID: ACDBE059-2
CDs: 1
Type: SACD
Collection: Romantic Period
Subcollection: Piano

The trumpet in actual practice: sooner serves the goal rather than art. That may explain why the major Romantic composers ignored the trumpet as a solo-instrument in the 19th century, although the technical possibilities of the instrument had increased enormously due to the invention of the valves. In the orchestra literature, the trumpet was always given the role of signal-horn; the versatile musical possibilities remained unutilised for a long time.

The collection of composers on this CD nevertheless wrote beautiful music, which gave the trumpet the opportunity to demonstrate itself in the role of sensory and subtle soloinstrument. The trumpet concertos of Beethoven, Mendelssohn or Strauss that were never composed are somewhat compensated with this pieces of music by less known composers.

Duo Stoica
Andrea Stoica, piano
Razvan Stoica, violin

Compiling a new CD is quite a job. On one hand musicians like to display their prowess and tackle less know repertoire however on the other hand the repertoire should also fit with the expectations of the listeners. This is also the case with this CD from Duo Stoica. On this CD Duo Stoica has striven to compile a CD that combines well known pieces with lesser known works in a program displaying a similar atmosphere.

Razvan performs these works in the way that only Razvan can, with fire, enthusiasm and full of life. The lesser known virtuoso works are also brought to life with the same virtuosity and passion. It is the diversity of these works combined with Razvan’s virtuoso reading that makes this CD unique.

ID: STR37003

Type: CD
Subcollection: Piano

Boris Petrushansky, piano
Pyotr Ilyich TCHAIKOVSKY (1840-1893)
The Seasons, Op. 37bis
Children’s Album, Op. 39

From the liner notes by Luca Di Giulio: “ [...] The Seasons are full of a melancholy lyricism, of Slav melodies, but there is no display of virtuosity as an end in itself. Each piece portrays a scene or atmosphere typical of the month whose title it bears. The composer acts as an attentive observer in the twelve pages of the album: although his involvement is not strictly connected to the activities narrated, Tchaikovsky uses the titles of the pieces as a pretext to talk about the universal themes of the life of man: joy, sadness, prayer, love, despair, boldness, hope. [...]
The twenty-four pieces of the Children’s Album took shape from 13th to 16th April 1878 in Kamenka in Ukraine, on his return from a trip to western Europe which followed the tragic epilogue to the marriage with Antonina Milyukova. The inspiration for this cycle probably comes partly from the Capricious Sophie’s Album, a nineteenth-century children’s publication which told stories of dolls. The twenty-four miniatures which make up the collection are fascinating, often humorous, and satisfying to play and are influenced by Robert Schumann.

Bax and Chung - Piano Duo - Music for Piano Four Hands - Stravinsky- Brahms- Piazzolla

Bax and Chung - Piano Duo - Music for Piano Four Hands - Stravinsky- Brahms- Piazzolla
ID: SIGCD365
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Instrumental
Subcollection: Piano

Brahms:
Waltzes (16), Op. 39
Piazzólla: arr. Bax & Chung
Lo que vendra
Milonga del ángel
Tango No. 2
Libertango
Stravinsky:
Petrushka

The real life marriage of two great concert pianists, Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung, has led to one of the leading piano duos of their generation. To cite the UK magazine Music and Arts, “Theirs is a marriage of wondrous colours and dextrous aplomb, subtly balanced to make a musical performance sound as one.”

Stavinsky’s Pétrouchka was originally arranged for four-hands by the composer as a rehearsal score for the Ballet Russes production of the same name, but in this stripped-down it brings Stravinsky’s melodic, rhythmic and harmonic inventiveness to the fore. Brahms’s 16 Waltzes Op.39 are an enchanting collection of Romantic miniatures that simultaneously nod to the musical lineage of the composer’s home in Vienna whilst asserting his own flair and individuality. The final four tangos by Piazzolla are a full of Argentine flair and vigour, and were arranged especially for this recording by Bax and Chung.
