Hvilke 3 plader ønsker du dig mest i julegave? Og hvilke plader vil du gerne give i julegave?
Her er mine 3 ønsker:
RAVEL Bolero; Concerto For Left Hand; Rapsodie Espagnole; Pavane; La Valse. Claire Chevalier, Anima Eterna / Jos Van Immerseel. Classical Zig-Zag
Hylderne bugner af Ravel plader, men disse musikere har overvundet mig helt og aldeles i Mozart, så denne vidunderlige buket af mesterværker vil jeg utrolig gerne høre med Immerseel og co.
TANEYEV, SERGEI Chamber Music. Vadim Repin, Ilya Gringolts, Lynn Harrell, Nobuko Imai, Mikhail Pletnev. Deutsche Grammophon
Hvorfor? Se nedenfor … der er kun lidt musik af Taneyev på hylderne.
“He was the key figure in Russian musical history, the greatest polyphonist after Bach. . . look who his pupils were: Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and Prokofiev” Mikhail Pletnev to The Independent (UK) about Sergei Taneyev
A recording with rarely-performed chamber music by the Russian composer Taneyev, who was a student of Tchaikovsky. Tanayev was also the solo pianist who premiered nearly all of Tchaikovsky's works for piano and orchestra, and was the sole composer that Tchaikovsky actively sought critical comments from on his own compositions.
This CD is an excellent recording by an all-star quintet, created by Mikhail Pletnev: Vadim Repin and Ilya Gringolts, two of the most exciting violinists of the younger generation from Russia, paired with Nobuko Imai (viola) and Lynn Harrell (cello), are distinguished established stars on their instruments - and the incomparable Mikhail Pletnev playing Taneyev's beautiful music. The Quintet is a milestone composition from a neglected genius. Rounding off the program is Taneyev's remarkable Piano Trio, deonstating why music by this oft-neglected composer deserves our attention.
MOZART Die Zauberflote. Pape, Miklosa, Strehl, Roschmann, Arnold Schoenberg Chor, Mahler Chamber Orchestra / Claudio Abbado. DG
Jeg vil ikke synes det mærkeligt at samle alle indspilninger af dette værk. Men som med Ravel har jeg så mange at jeg må ønske mig den hvis jeg skal have flere.
'Claudio Abbado's Magic Flute sounds like a breath of fresh air- Since his own near-death experience during a grave illness, every piece he conducts has taken on a sense of existential urgency, including the Flute. One has seldom heard the work performed with such a light touch and effortless fluency, with such feeling for dramatic refinement and with the characters so musically alive.' (Die Zeit, May 2005)
Og hvilke 3 har du købt og er så glade for dem at din bedste ven/veninde skal have dem i julegave? Her er mine 3 gaver.
MOZART Concerto for 2 pianos KV365, Concerto for flute & harp KV299, Concerto for horn No. 3. Anima Eterna, Jos van Immerseel. Zig Zag Territoires.
For mig årets Mozart plade, de spiller aldeles forrygende og forfriskende. En plade der aldrig er langt væk fra spillen.
JANACEK Intimate Letters HAAS, PAVEL String Quartet No. 2.
Pavel Haas Quartet. Supraphon
Tjekkisk strygermusik er en af mine laster. De to kvartetter er fantastiske og den unge kvartet spiller med hjerte og stort talent. Du trykker på repeat når den er slut.
Disse musikere har altid noget på hjertet, og denne skive er på mindst en gang om ugen. Margo har License til at synge alt, også License to kill.

+ Tet (Vol. 9). 
. Nogle fremragende kompositioner.

- og den herlige Zaka har allerede sørget for at dem der skal give mig gaver må spare på gaver til alle andre
