Discovering Mendelssohn

Christian Li

Classical - Released June 16, 2023 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Hi-Res
Teenage violinist Christian Li has thus far recorded mostly well-trodden repertory, and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64, certainly falls into that category. It is the centerpiece of Discovering Mendelssohn, but the program is filled out with a variety of materials that trace the cosmopolitan Mendelssohn's travels and also revive the 19th century type of concert, with orchestral and violin-and-piano pieces cheek by jowl, as well as a few audience-friendly arrangements of songs with and without words that include Yinuo Mu's harp and Xuefei Yang's guitar (in the charming concluding Venetian Gondola Song). This shows growth on Li's part, as does his confident rapport with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under Sir Andrew Davis, but really, the key to the album's success is that Li's performance of the Violin Concerto stands out from the crowd. He gets but does not overdo the sentiment in the big tunes, and he has an attractive precision in the high notes. Li places proper emphasis on the unusually placed cadenza in the concerto's first movement, loosening up and giving it improvisatory flair. He includes pieces by Mozart, Bach, and Schubert, all of which have more or less definite connections to Mendelssohn; this, too, supports the effort to create the atmosphere of a concert of Mendelssohn's time. An exciting young player takes a definite step forward with this enjoyable release. This album landed on classical best-seller charts in the summer of 2023.© James Manheim /TiVo

Schubert on Tape

Edna Stern

Classical - Released February 4, 2022 | Orchid Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
Pianist Edna Stern offers her interpretations of the music of Schubert via a refreshing and personal method of recording, using analogue tape to record single takes of each piece in order to present the most honest and immediate performance possible. This ethos grew out of early experiences of hearing her own recordings: "I was shocked to encounter an interpretation that I myself could never have played or even imagined", and it was this that prompted Edna Stern "to go back to a mode of recording practice that would more faithfully do justice to the music and Schubert’s humane masterpieces in particular". The masterpieces heard on this album are Schubert’s Four Impromptus and Six Moments musicaux, works that lend themselves to, or even demand, performances of truthfulness and spontaneity. Edna Stern grew up listening to her favorite artists on tape, and so it seemed natural to look to this medium in order to achieve a similar quality in her own album. This recording is made directly to tape, without any editing, with the result that we hear Stern’s Schubert unvarnished, in all its humanity and warmth. As she puts it: "There is a sense of freedom – even of danger – with the human and all their flaws. There is a coherent continuation of movement. Moreover, there is a sense of life". © Orchid Classics

Schubert : Octuor - Berwald : Grand Septuor

Anima Eterna

Classical - Released April 5, 2019 | Alpha Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
This recording is Anima’s very first to be completely devoted to instrumental ensemble music. A group of musicians headed by violinist Jakob Lehmann breathes new life into two 19th-century masterpieces. Schubert's Octet in F is a crown jewel from the repertoire, taking its cue from Beethoven’s celebrated Septet yet at the same time paving the way toward the "Grosse Sinfonie". Roughly 20 years after its iconic recording of the complete Schubert symphonies, Anima brings its signature approach to the composer’s chamber music to explore it with the insights and “language skills” developed back then and from thereon. In contrast to Schubert, Franz Berwald has been largely forgotten – undeservedly, as this gifted Swede left behind an oeuvre that is both surprisingly modern and delightfully original. Performed on period instruments, using authoritative sources and contemporary playing techniques, these brilliant pages of large ensemble music are now ready to be rediscovered and enjoyed once again. © Alpha Classics

Jörg Demus

Solo Piano - Released November 1, 2019 | Deutsche Grammophon

Distinctions Choc de Classica
In tribute to the life and art of the Viennese pianist Jörg Demus, who died in April 2019, Eloquence releases his earliest recordings of Schubert’s Impromptus and Moments Musicaux. By the time of these sessions, which took place over a week in April 1958, Demus was not yet 30 but already an experienced recording artist, having made LPs of the duet music for Westminster with his Viennese colleague Paul Badura-Skoda, as well as a Remington Records disc of the Moments musicaux and much else besides, focusing on the Austro-German repertoire of the Classical and early-Romantic eras which would make his reputation. The Deutsche Grammophon engineers captured Demus more lucidly and favourably than their rivals, and in both mono and stereo incarnations these records would stand the test of time, though they have never been reissued as a complete set on CD. Newly remastered from the original tapes, they reveal the depth of Demus’s understanding in Schubert’s music, an unfussy technique and a modesty which never seeks to impose pathos and profundity from without but which dances with a rare lightness of spirit. Born and raised in Vienna, Demus understood this music as a precursor to the popular waltzes and polkas of the Strauss family. ‘Only a complete realization and comprehension of the accompanimental rhythms – precise and yet with a slight touch of a personal accent – will in many cases create the right atmosphere.’ When he died in April 2019, one of the many affectionate Austrian obituaries referred to Demus as ‘the ballet-master of ten fingers’: a description that summed him up perfectly, as these recordings demonstrate.
