Liszt: Piano Sonata in B Minor & Grandes études de Paganini

Cécile Ousset

Classical - Released March 1, 2005 | Warner Classics

Even though EMI has reissued some interesting old recordings in its "encore" series, there are some that seem to have been brought out of storage a bit past their prime and that may be disappointing because of their weak audio reproduction. Cécile Ousset's flashy readings of Franz Liszt's Sonata in B minor, S. 178, and the Paganini Studies, S. 141, date from 1984, and as one might expect, they sound like early digital recordings in their lack of presence, chilly ambience, and shallow dimensions. Something of a rarity, Ousset's animated and energetic interpretations may rescue this CD for fans who have never heard her play Liszt before; or the budget price may at least make it acceptable for others. But listeners accustomed to terrific-sounding, state-of-the-art recordings will still find it hard to sit through, chiefly because of the piano's hollow sound and the overly echoic acoustics. These recordings have not been remastered for this 2003 reissue.© TiVo

Schubert: Messe No. 6 en Mi Bémol Majeur, D. 950

Michel Corboz

Sacred Vocal Music - Released January 31, 2008 | Mirare

Here's a recording that, to use the terminology of African-American vernacular music, is old school in every way. It begins with a decidedly odd sound, which has a hollow, boxy quality, with distortion at the frequency extremes, that could almost have been heard on a 1950s LP. The booklet indicates that the disc was recorded by Swiss Radio, but it's not clear whether the performance was actually taken from a radio broadcast; even if it was, it's subpar. The list of vintage qualities continues with veteran conductor Michel Corboz and the Ensemble Vocal de Lausanne accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra of Lausanne. Despite the suggestion of modest dimensions in these names, the combined forces are large, maybe not Mormon Tabernacle Choir plus Philadelphia Orchestra large, but bigger than the current fashion for music of the early nineteenth century. And of course the old school hangs on for a good reason: Corboz and his Swiss choristers have a warmth, clarity of articulation, and vigorous response to the text that are hard to find these days. Corboz catches the almost operatic quality of Schubert's final mass, which asks us to believe not in a holy catholic and apostolic church (the composer leaves those words out of the Credo) but that Christ came into the world to the strains of a transcedently beautiful Ländler, sung by a Viennese vocal trio of the streets. Corboz's Schubert deliberately traces outlines of light and shade, lands firmly but not over-heavily on dramatic strokes, and shows the kind of control over large-scale architecture that makes for really good Schubert. The bottom line is that this is a Schubert disc that, though brand new, will feel familiar. Corboz has been doing this kind of performance, and doing it well, for almost 50 years now, and it's still worthwhile even if there are various fresher recordings to choose from. © TiVo

Liszt Piano Works

François-René Duchable

Classical - Released July 3, 2006 | Warner Classics

If you want to make a splash as a virtuoso pianist, play Liszt. That's what young French pianist François-René Duchable did in this 1996 recital: he programmed the most intensely virtuosic, overtly emotional, and deliberately effusive works of Liszt and played end to end. From the opening Funérailles through the Méphisto Waltz and the Liebestraum No. 3 to the closing Un sospiro and La campanella, Duchable leaves none of the Hungarian Romantic greatest hits unplayed. And, boy, Duchable sure can play! His technique is incredibly athletic, his tone is amazingly luxurious, his control of phrasing, dynamics, and tempo is absolutely complete. What's more, Duchable has heart. The endless longing of Liebestraum, the ineffable beauty of Jeux d'eau a la Villa d'Este, the palpable sensuality of Un sospiro: all the emotional power of Liszt's Romantic music is manifest in Duchable's performance. If one could fault these performances, it might be for being too French and not enough Hungarian, that is, Duchable's lithe and luminous Liszt could seem too much the pianistic godfather of Debussy and Ravel rather than the compositional father Bartók. But for listeners who prefer their Liszt with a French accent and are looking for a single-disc collection of his best-known piano works in clean, direct digital sound, Duchable's recital will be just the thing.© TiVo
