Dvorak:Symphony No. 9Opis:Product description Like Beethoven, Bruckner and Mahler, Dvork crowned his symphonic oeuvre with a Ninth. After the premiere at Carnegie Hall, New York on 16.12.1893 he wrote: The newspapers say no composer ever knew such a triumph. People applauded for so long that I had to bow from my box like a king! alla Mascagni in Vienna. The symphony met with worldwide success, and remains one of the most frequently performed. In many ways Dvork broke new ground here, and proved that he was far more than a simple Bohemian musician. He opened the ears of musicians and audiences to Indian folklore and the melodic treasury of black Americans. While certain particularities were inspired by Indian music, the works themes are all original Dvork creations. One might almost call the work a symphonic poem with the title With Hiawatha through Bohemias fields and groves. The Bamberger Symphoniker, with their characteristic dark yet glowing sound, are perfectly at home in this universe. By a stroke of luck, Robin Ticciati, the rising star in the latest generation of conductors, is particularly sensitive to this lyrical yet impulsive idiom. His performances have an irresistible energy, without ever concealing Dvorks undercurrent of melancholy. Here, as in the American Suite, Robin Ticciati and the Bamberger Symphoniker can be said to have rediscovered the New World. Review A quick check at one online CD retailer brings up 22 pages of New World Symphonies, and a full iTunes perusal involves a lot of downward scrolling. Do we need another one? If it's good, yes, and Robin Ticciati's new version of Dvorák 9 has lots going for it. He's got a brilliant ear for detail which rarely derails the music's forward momentum. The often inaudible viola line accompanying the cellos' lament is present at the start, and the Bamberg winds ooze character. Dvorak's moody introduction broods, allowing the molto to take flight. Good too to hear the accompanying string semiquavers clearly articulated, not just a background blur. This is a performance that has you rushing to the score, spotting things you've never noticed before. The Largo's brass chords have stunning depth, preparing us for one of the best cor anglais solos on disc. Ticciati's Scherzo has more charm than menace, with a wonderfully witty trio section. Only the finale's closing pages disappoint slightly, the reprise of the brass chords sounding a little perfunctory. The closing seconds are great, though, Dvo ák's last chord a poignant signing off. Ticciati's coupling is Dvorák's American Suite, the nifty orchestral transcription of a piano work composed immediately after the symphony. The dance movements sound as much Czech as American, and they fizz here. The Bamberg percussionists acquit themselves nicely how often do you notice such a well-played triangle? There's a sublime oboe solo at the start of the Andante, and the fifth movement has all the raucous dynamism missing from the symphony's finale. An attractive disc, magnificently played and warmly recorded. --Artsdesk, 28/3/15 Ticciati and his Bamberg players are strong on rhythm, sonority and the music's lyrical slant. --Gramophone, Aug'15Autor:Bamberger Symph/TicciatiNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2015-01-01Waga: 0.25 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 4.9 cmDługość: 5.6 cmArtistUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
