Kolekce: Chamber MusicPodkolekce: Piano a Housle
Firma Melodiya presents sting compositions by Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms performed by David Oistrakh.
The prominent violinist did not part with his violin for more than sixty years, and indeed, he left numerous recordings made in studio and at concert to us. However, Oistrakh’s studio work during his last years, when he was not that active as a concert performer, is particularly interesting, and his chamber programmes were viewed as true revelations.
Oistrakh renders a songful and sunny world of Schubert’s duet and fantasia, and restrained emotions and hidden drama of Brahms’s first sonata with an inimitable, unique intonation and nobility of tone. A sensitive listener might think that the music had waited for its performer for a century.
In those years, Frida Bauer, a remarkable pianist and soloist of the Moscow Philharmonic Society, was the violinist’s ensemble partner. The recordings
were made in 1970-1974. |

Firma Melodiya presents a recording of chamber works by Alban Berg and Olivier Messiaen.
Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano (1913) were created by Alban Berg, one of the pupils of Arnold Schoenberg, the founder of the Second Viennese School, in a period of an intense creative ascent, a year before he began to work on his opera Wozzeck.
Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time is arguably one of the most amazing pages of chamber music of the 20th century. It was composed during the composer’s stay in German prisoner-of-war camp where it was premiered in January of 1941. The epigraph to the entire work was inspired by text from the Book of Revelation:
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire ... and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth .... And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever ... that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished.”
The works were first performed in the former USSR for the first time in 1998 at the Gift to the Vine music festival in the Georgian city of Telavi. The festival was initiated by two outstanding Soviet musicians - cellist Natalia Gutman and violinist Oleg Kagan. The composer and pianist Vasily Lobanov and Swiss clarinetist, then a member of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Eduard Brunner, both recognized interpreters of contemporary music, were among the participants of the festival. A year later, the Quartet for the End of Time was performed by the same line-up in Moscow at Sviatoslav Richter’s December Evenings festival at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
The featured recording was made at one of the last performances of Oleg Kagan who passed away prematurely in 1990.

Kolekce: Chamber MusicPodkolekce: Piano and Cello
Firma Melodiya presents the duo of cellist Alexander Zagorinsky and pianist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg.
Alexander Zagorinsky, one of the brightest musicians of his generation. An Meritorious Artist of Russia, professor of the Gnessins Russian Music Academy, prize-winner of the 9th International Tchaikovsky Competition and other significant musical contests, was the first concertmaster of the cello section of the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic Society for ten years. Now he has been a solo performer recognized worldwide for over two decades. “I think there is no one in Russia who plays the cello like that,” admitted Edison Denisov, an outstanding composer of the 20th century.
A performer of an extensive repertoire, Alexander Zagorinsky has turned to music of different ages - from Bach and Telemann to his contemporaries. The cellist's play is characteristic for subtle rendition of composing style, nobility and richness of sound, depth of interpretation.
Alexander Zagorinsky has performed with the renowned Norwegian pianist and professor Einar Steen-Nøkleberg for many years now. One of the leading interpreter of Edvard Grieg's music, Steen-Nøkleberg is a recognized performer of romantic music and prominent educator - he has performed and given courses across the world and been a judge at a number of international competitions. The duet of Zagorinsky and Steen-Nøkleberg has been acclaimed by critics as one of today's best ensembles. The musicians' complete mutual understanding and common views on the music they play allow them to be one whole when they perform.
The album features masterpieces of chamber music from the romantic era - Franz Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata and Frédéric Chopin’s Cello Sonata and Introduction and Polonaise brillante. |

Out of Bounds contains interesting and little known 20th and 21st century music for bass trombone in a chamber music setting. The instrument is rarely heard as the soloist with chamber ensembles and most of the pieces on this disc are rarely performed or have not previously been recorded. The bass trombone can be heard running as a rich thread through the works.
Michael Eversden was born in England and grew up in the rich musical scene of the London Borough of Redbridge. He was a member of the Redbridge and Essex Youth Orchestras and from 1975 to 1978 the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO) appearing throughout the UK. Michael studied bass trombone at the Royal College of Music under Gerry McElhone, bass trombonist with the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. In 1980 he was appointed as principal bass trombonist with the North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra (NNO) and has since worked as a freelancer with nearly all the major Dutch and British orchestras. He is a founder member of the Dutch Brass and The Trombonauts (educational concerts for junior school children), teaches at the Gro- ningen College of Music and also composes and arranges music for the bass trombone and other brass. |

Giles Swayne's works for cello exhibit an astonishing array of moods and colours. The restless beauty of Four Lyrical Pieces and strident romanticism of the Sonata offer remarkable counterpoint to his sublime Suite for solo cello. Canto seduces us with its intoxicating symbiosis of traditional African and Western art music.

Four Lyrical Pieces, Op. 6
Suite No. 1 for solo cello, Op. 111
Sonata for cello and piano, Op. 103
Canto for cello, Op. 31
