EMI: 5099963176858
Beethoven, L. van: Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano in C major, Op. 56 / Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A minor, Op. 102 (Karajan)
The star power is evident in this reading of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with Rostropovich, Oistrakh and Richter competing for dominance. If that weren't enough, add von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic and an opulent, if somewhat reverberant 1969 recording. Warmly recommended. |
Naxos: 8.570791
Korngold, E.W.: Violin Concerto / Schauspiel Overture / Much Ado About Nothing Suite (Quint, Mineria Symphony, Prieto)
Korngold's Violin Concerto is a lushly romantic work that gives ample evidence that Korngold was more than a 'mere' film composer. Philippe Quint gives a thrilling performance, by turns warmly emotive then swift and muscular. He is supported admirably by the Miniera Symphony Orchestra of Mexico City. |
BIS: BIS-CD-1450
Villa-Lobos, H.: Choros, Vol. 2 (Neschling) - Choros Nos. 1, 4, 6, 8, 9
Villa-Lobos absorbed the modernism of his day, but the instruments and textures of his native Brazil are the elements that linger in memory. Excellent performances from these Sao Paolo musicians and a fine BIS recording make this an ideal entry point into Villa-Lobos exotic world. |
