Dance!

Daniel Hope

Classical - Released February 2, 2024 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res
Violinist Daniel Hope's publicity for this 2024 release promotes it as "[t]racing the history of Western dance from medieval times to the 20th century." It is true that the double album includes music of many eras, from traditional pieces to the 20th century, but this formulation fails to capture the mood achieved here by the always crowd-pleasing Hope. All his selections are short, and for the most part, they jump across the centuries rather than being chronological. Hope both plays and conducts the Zürcher Kammerorchester, and the overall effect is kaleidoscopic, like one of those concerts where pieces follow one another as if in a medley, with lighting effects to match. A double album of short pieces may seem a lot, but this is Hope's point; he seeks to expose the variety of dance rhythms that course through Western classical music, in which dance is not usually thought to play a very significant role. The album is a great deal of fun, with Hope alternately picking up his violin and laying it aside and veering from Baroque dances to Florence Beatrice Price's jazzy "Ticklin' Toes" (it is good to hear her music showing up on non-U.S. releases). In the end, the energy in this big group of 42 pieces never flags.© James Manheim /TiVo

Joseph Haydn : Cello Concertos

Freiburger Barockorchester

Cello Concertos - Released March 27, 2003 | harmonia mundi

Booklet Distinctions Choc de Classica
This admirable Harmonia Mundi release presents Franz Josef Haydn's two cello concertos and the Cello Concerto in G minor by Georg Matthias Monn with the luster of period instruments; refined, idiomatic playing; and exceptional sound quality, with full resonance; and cellist Jean-Guihan Queyras and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, directed by Petra Müllejans, render these works with exquisite details and emotional depth. In a real sense, their performances are acts of rediscovery, for Haydn's cello concertos have become routine fare from too many modern renditions, and Monn's piece is unfamiliar from too few performances. Indeed, all three concertos have suffered the vagaries of preservation and interpretation. Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major was once considered lost until its discovery in 1961; the Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major suffered false attribution and its authorship was debated until the appearance of the manuscript in 1954; and Monn's concerto survived only in an arrangement for harpsichord and strings until Arnold Schoenberg edited it in 1912. To set the record straight, this disc presents the concertos intelligently refurbished, with appropriate eighteenth century style and color. Through their insightful scholarship and sensitive performances, Queyras and Müllejans have produced a fine alternative to the less authentic mainstream recordings.© TiVo

Mozart: Violin Concertos Nos. 1-5; 2 Rondos

Isabelle Faust

Concertos - Released October 28, 2016 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
"Not another complete recording of Mozart's violin concertos!", some might complain, and in absolute terms they wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. Except that this complete edition is signed by star violinist Isabelle Faust, accompanied by Il Giardino Armonico (who plays on instruments from Mozart’s time, including natural horns, nine-key bassoons, six-key flutes, two-key oboes), and – last but not least – the cadenzas are signed by Andreas Staier, since Mozart has left us no cadenzas for his violin concertos (unlike several piano concertos, as well as his Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola). Far from playing the star, Isabelle Faust prefers to blend in with the whole orchestra, a kind of primus inter pares attitude quite refreshing in this repertoire which, in fact, does not require so much emphasis of the part of soloist – the sound engineering and balance itself favours an overall sound rather than an opposition between solo violin and orchestra. This is a new and very original interpretation, whatever the abundant discography of these works may already be. In addition to the five concertos, Faust plays the three single movements for violin and orchestra – two Rondos and one Adagio – which are actually "spare" movements for one or the other of the concertos written on request for soloists of that time. One wonders what Mozart would have written had he had Isabelle Faust by his side! © SM/Qobuz

Mozart: Violin Concertos, Vol. II

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Classical - Released October 6, 2023 | Coro

Hi-Res
The venerable Handel and Haydn Society has evolved in interesting ways over the last decade under a variety of new directors that have included, as here, its concertmaster, Aisslinn Nosky. The group has become a distinctive kind of historically oriented ensemble, with gut strings, reduced vibrato, and generally fast tempos. However, Nosky doesn't rip the traditional Handel and Haydn Society sound up by the roots; the sound of the group is warm, and it is aided by the acoustic of the wood-paneled Symphony Hall in Boston. The present release is the second of a pair devoted to Mozart's violin concertos. Both are worthwhile; this one gives a fresh, slightly rough-edged reading of the first, second, and fifth concertos that contrasts sharply with the usual highly sweet French-style versions. Nosky is especially effective in the Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, K. 219, with its "Turkish rondo" finale; she applies a good deal of vigor throughout and in an internal cadenza in the finale. The first two concertos, less often played, tend to be a bit shapeless in conventional performances but are lively and adventurous here. There are other good performances of the Mozart concertos on historical instruments, notably by Isabelle Faust, but these are worthy of strong consideration.© James Manheim /TiVo
