Schubert: Lieder with Orchestra

Munich Radio Orchestra

Classical - Released October 6, 2023 | BR-Klassik

Hi-Res Booklets
One might react to this album with initial annoyance and ask whether it is really necessary to hear orchestrated versions of Schubert's supremely pianistic songs. It may come as a surprise, then, to find that most of these Lieder with Orchestra were arranged by great composers. They include Benjamin Britten, Jacques Offenbach, and Max Reger, who took on the job because, he said, he hated to hear a piano-accompanied song on an orchestral program. Perhaps the most surprising name to find is that of Anton Webern, but his arrangements are not the minimal, pointillistic things one might expect; he wrote these arrangements as a way of studying Schubert's music, and they are quite straightforward. Indeed, it is somewhat difficult to distinguish the arrangers simply by listening to the music; Schubert's melodic lines tend to suggest distinctive solutions. Perhaps Reger's are a bit more lush than the others, although his version of Erlkönig, D. 328, is one of the few numbers here that just doesn't work (there is no way to replicate the percussive quality of the accompaniment). As for the performances as such, Benjamin Appl is clearly an important rising baritone, and he has a wonderful natural quality in Schubert. An oddball release like this might seem an unusual choice for a singer in early career, but he contributes his own notes, and he seems to have undertaken the project out of genuine enthusiasm for the material. At the very least, he has brought some intriguing pieces out of the archives and given them highly listenable performances. The Munich Radio Orchestra, under the young Oscar Jockel, is suitably restrained and keeps out of Appl's way. This release made classical best-seller lists in the autumn of 2023.© James Manheim /TiVo

Schubert: Ländler, Minuets & Écossaises

Daniel Lebhardt

Classical - Released February 26, 2021 | Naxos

Hi-Res Booklet
Social and musical life in Biedermeier Vienna during the first decade of the 19th century created a great demand for dances which took place in the residences of wealthy citizens. With their echoes of the Austrian countryside Schubert’s folk-type Ländler are dances in 3/4 time, precursors of the waltz. Composed towards the end of his life when Schubert wrote his greatest music, the sets of 16 and 17 Ländler are notable for their melodic inventiveness. The 16 are dedicated to the ladies of Vienna and known as the Wiener Damen-Ländler; while the Écossaises were intended for facing lines of dancers rather than couples. Daniel Lebhardt relishes the joy and ‘irresistible and sometimes quite delirious’ ingenuity of these jewel-like dances. © Naxos

Tcherepnin: Prelude to "La princesse lointaine", Op. 4 & Narcisse et Echo, Op. 40

Bamberger Symphoniker

Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or
It's a real godsend to be able to discover the ballet Narcissus and Echo by Nicolaï Tcherepnine, an all-too-forgotten composer today. Yet he is one of the young Russians, such as Rachmaninov, Glazunov, Medtner or Taneïev, who succeeded their great elders in the Group of Five and Tchaikovsky. He inherited an exceptional orchestral skill from his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov, before teaching himself at the St Petersburg Conservatory where he had Sergei Prokofiev as a student.Appointed as a conductor at the Mariinsky Theatre before the October Revolution, Nicolaï Tcherepnine conducted the inaugural season of the Ballets Russes in Paris in 1909. It was for Serge de Diaghilev that he composed his ballet Narcissus and Echo, which was hastily premiered in 1911 in place of Daphnis and Chloe, whose composition Ravel had not finished in time. Danced by Nijinsky in a choreography by Fokine and the Bakst sets planned for Daphnis, the work seemed boring to the Parisian public. It was an unjust judgment, since this sparkling score deserves much more than to simply be forgotten.Dance générale, Bacchanal in a dreamy Greece, here we are in the same universe as Ravel, one adorned with a colourful and magical orchestration, and whose use of a choir further reinforces - in a rather disturbing way - its closeness to Ravel's future ballet. It was certainly a kind of stagnation that may have confused the audience, accustomed at the time to the wild rhythms of Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov and the young Stravinsky.The beautiful recording of Łukasz Borowicz is a timely reminder of the music of this great Russian composer who lived in Paris where he died in 1945, leaving behind a large number of stage compositions (operas and ballets), symphonic music, chamber music, vocal works and piano works. © François Hudry/Qobuz
