Schubert: String Quintet, Op. 163 & Lieder

Quatuor Ébène

Classical - Released April 8, 2016 | Erato - Warner Classics

Booklet
Recording Franz Schubert's String Quintet in C major, D. 956, is a major achievement for most string players, and Quatuor Ebène's performance with cellist Gautier Capuçon on Erato is a high point in their discography. Playing with great transparency and alertness, the quintet delivers a vital performance that captures the rarefied, almost mystical quality of Schubert's late masterpiece while maintaining a sense of urgency and, at times, explosive energy. This is to be expected of a world-class string quartet, and it's probably more than enough effort for a single CD. Yet the program continues with a set of five of Schubert's lieder, sung by baritone Matthias Goerne and accompanied by Quatuor Ebène and double bassist Laurène Durantel, in arrangements by Raphaël Merlin. These versions for voice and strings were conceived in the spirit of the Schubertiades, on the idea that string players likely were in attendance and eager to join Schubert in impromptu music-making. While these transcriptions are speculative, they are certainly enjoyable for their beautiful tone and subdued feeling, and Goerne sings with warmth and expressiveness to match the subtle moods of the arrangements.© TiVo

Haydn - Mozart - Schubert : Piano Recital

Atsuko Seki

Classical - Released January 1, 2003 | Divox

The question of whether you can speak of a "late style" for a composer who died young is troublesome. Surely neither Mozart nor Schubert had the death-haunted thoughts that Romantic legend-makers ascribed to them. But the recital devised here by Japanese pianist Atsuko Seki makes a good deal of sense. Those two composers, along with Haydn, made stylistic breakthroughs in the last years of their lives, whether it was because they sensed impending death or not. Seki is not a pianist who grabs your attention with unorthodox readings, but her carefully considered playing, developing the implications of plainly stated motives at the beginning, fits these works well. Her tempos are moderate throughout. With the Haydn Piano Sonata in C major, Hob. 16/50, she brings out the key role of the late Haydn sonatas as forerunners of the Romantic language. With the first movement's opening subject, the link between the tonic triad and the main thematic material of a movement was severed. The four Schubert Impromptus, Op. 142, weighty pieces that belie their name, emerge in their full thematic and harmonic complexity, with the jewel-like Variations of a Minuet of Duport, K. 573, of Mozart as an interlude in the middle. This Swiss release doesn't rewrite the book on any of these pieces, but it's a satisfying recording of Classical-period works. The rudimentary notes (in German, French, and English) and the sound are both negatives. © TiVo
