Goehr: Pastorals

Opis

Goehr: PastoralsOpis:Product Description Alexander Goehr is a central figure of the post-war Manchester School of composers with Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies. His work is recognized today for its assimilation of intellectual rigour with transparent expressiveness and richly haunting sonorities. This programme ranges from the Gabrieli-inspired virtuoso brass of Pastorals and the labyrinthine structures of Marching to Carcassonne, to When Adam Fell, with its extraordinary descending intervals discovered in Bach. Alexander Goehr's close association with Oliver Knussen and the musicians on this recording make these performances uniquely authoritative. This programme of music by Alexander Goehr is of works unavailable elsewhere on recordings. We have had huge success with our reissues of recordings by Goehr's Manchester School colleague Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and this release is also something of a coup for Naxos, including as it does Goehr's most recent orchestral piece When Adam Fell. With Goehr's relative recent mainstream neglect this release seeks to help reposition his work as a core element in European contemporary music.

Review This programme... is as welcome a birthday tribute as one could wish for...[The live performances] are admirably committed and detailed, and very well captured. --Gramophone, Mar'13Not the most straightforward introduction to Goehr's music but, at the price, an undeniably tempting one. --IRR, Mar'13Goehr's abrupt and sometimes fragmentary style sometimes takes a few listens to grasp, but its lean textures and evocative instrumental colours are ideal for Oliver Knussen's meticulous ear for detail and delight in sonority.

Himself the dedicatee of When Adam Fell, Knussen brings out the music sparkle and lively character. Performance ***** Recording **** --BBC Music Magazine, Apr'13The BBC Symphony Orchestra and the London Sinfionetta make a wonderfully fruity sound, and conductor Oliver Knussen makes the music seem positively Balletic in its rhythmic energy. **** --Telegraph, 11/04/13Autor:Peter SerkinNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2013Waga: 0.18 gramWysokość: 0.6 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
