The new CD with music by Miklós Rózsa will be released on April 4, 2025!

Sinfonia concertante · Rhapsody for cello and orchestra · Notturno ungherese

Harriet Krijgh, cello
Nikita Boriso-Glebsky, violin
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz
Gregor Bühl, conductor

Label: cappricio

This release explores the rarely performed or recorded concert music of Miklós Rózsa (famous for his sound track of Ben Hur ), coupling his Rhapsody for Cello in which the young composer truly found his style, his Notturno Ungherese (“a nostalgic night piece, harking back to the memories of my childhood in Hungary”), and the late Sinfonia concertante for violin and cello, a fiendishly difficult violin-cello double concerto that is among Rózsa’s finest, least film-music-like concert works and one of his most underrated. Gregor Piatigorsky and Jascha Heifetz, who instigated its composition, never ended up playing it, but Harriet Krijgh and Nikita Boriso-Glebsky certainly do.

An accolade for a saxophonist: Asya Fateyeva is Artist in Residence at the Schlesigholstein Music Festival SHMF and with her new album "To the Muse", whose orchestral works were recorded with the Saarland State Orchestra under the direction of Sebastién Rouland in the large broadcasting hall of the Saarland Broadcasting Centre Halberg.

"A sensation for the music world," writes the FAZ about Asya Fateyeva. The musician has established herself as an ambassador for the saxophone far beyond national and genre boundaries. Not least since her Echo Klassik award in 2016, the musician has established herself as an ambassador for the saxophone far beyond national and genre boundaries. Following in the footsteps of Daniel Hope - who was the SHMF Portrait Artist 2023 - she puts the saxophone in the spotlight from all angles, in all sizes, different genres and instrumentations.

For "To the Muse", Asya Fateyeva has reinterpreted French works by Claude Debussy, Paule Maurice, Henri Tomaso, Bertrand Plé and the medieval troubadours. The theme of longing runs like a red thread through the entire album: Henri Tomasi's Concerto for Alto Saxophone, for example, is based on a forbidden love story between a nun and a monk. In Paule Maurice's "Tableaux de Provence", the landscape evokes memories of a friend who will never be close to her again. Fateyeva and her fellow musicians use this material as inspiration for free arrangements of the pieces - in new instrumentations for saxophone, hurdy-gurdy, cello, vibraphone and darbuka. Fateyeva's partners are Matthias Loibner (hurdy-gurdy), Bo Widget (cello), Emil Kuyumcuyan (vibraphone, darbuka) and the Saarland State Orchestra under Sébastien Rouland.

"Saxophone can be anything. It takes me further and further and shows me a new side every time," says Asya Fateyeva about her instrument.

The CD with works by the Hungarian composer Miklós Rósza has been released. The recordings were made at the Philharmonie Ludwigshafen with the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz under the direction of Gregor Bühl.

"Born in Budapest, Miklós Rózsa (1907-1995) is considered one of the most renowned and successful film music composers, but until 1937 he only composed chamber music, symphonic music and instrumental concertos. His works have been conducted by Bruno Walter, Georg Solti, Zubin Mehta, Eugene Ormandy and Leonard Bernstein. This album contains less frequently performed works, but they need not stand in the shadow of the better-known compositions. The magnificent overture is followed by the Hungarian Serenade in the revised version from 1963, which contains a march, a serenata, a scherzo, a nocturne and a danza. The music sounds unmistakably Hungarian. The Tripartita was premiered in 1972 by Rostropovich with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington. The first movement is rhythmic and agitated. The Intermezzo arioso is mysterious, almost sinister and threatening. The Allegro con brio ends the Tripartita with virtuosity and suspense. The Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz impresses as a whole and at the same time through the quality of its soloists. The recording technique is very good, so that this recording can only be recommended." https://www.pizzicato.lu/ungarisches-von-miklos-rozsa/

Liam Cagney for Gramophone: "Mark Barden's music pursues a forensic exploration of the instrumental body. [...] cleft for violin and cello, 20 minutes long, reaches the verge of silence. Through techniques such as double-stops, glissandos and harmonics, brief textures fade in and out of nothingness. Here as elsewhere, the sound engineering is remarkable..." link to the review

Mark Barden's music takes us to the limits of our hearing and invites us to participate in it, to experience it. Fine deviations, distinctions and sustained sounds predominate on this portrait recording, says Paul Griffiths in the booklet text. In this, Barden seeks the extremes.

"Veil" stands on the edge of soundlessness. The characteristics of a veil are musically illuminated: Two piccolo flutes veil themselves, lay layers of sounds and breathing noises on top of each other and describe the instability and transparency of a veil.

Still other pieces push the limits of the instruments' ambitus. In "cleft", for example, the low side of the cello is tuned down so far that it reaches the range of a double bass. In this longest work of the portrait recording - as in other pieces - the focus is on the interplay between the closeness and the divergence of the instruments. It is precisely through this dichotomy that the unexpected emerges: "Can we imagine," the composer asks, "that the gap between the diverging layers is not empty, but raging with chaotic violence?"

The manifold relationships of the voices to each other are explored in small instrumentations. But even the supposedly larger ensemble piece "aMass", interpreted by ensemble mosaik, brings three very different trios closer together sonically. The most powerful composition of this portrait is Barden's largest work to date, "anatomy" for percussion solo and large orchestra, heard here with Brian Archinal and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Peter Rundel.

Matteo Cesari: piccolo / Helen Bledsoe: piccolo and bass flute / Ensemble Mosaik / Enno Poppe: conductor / Carl Rosman: bass clarinet / Lorelei Dowling: bassoon / Ashot Sarkissjan: violin / Séverine Ballon: cello / Joseph Houston: piano / Brian Archinal: percussion / Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin / Peter Rundel: conductor

The CD with works by the Hungarian composer Miklós Rósza has been released. The recordings were made at the Philharmonie Ludwigshafen with the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz under the direction of Gregor Bühl.

"Born in Budapest, Miklós Rózsa (1907-1995) is considered one of the most renowned and successful film music composers, but until 1937 he only composed chamber music, symphonic music and instrumental concertos. His works have been conducted by Bruno Walter, Georg Solti, Zubin Mehta, Eugene Ormandy and Leonard Bernstein. This album contains less frequently performed works, but they need not stand in the shadow of the better-known compositions. The magnificent overture is followed by the Hungarian Serenade in the revised version from 1963, which contains a march, a serenata, a scherzo, a nocturne and a danza. The music sounds unmistakably Hungarian. The Tripartita was premiered in 1972 by Rostropovich with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington. The first movement is rhythmic and agitated. The Intermezzo arioso is mysterious, almost sinister and threatening. The Allegro con brio ends the Tripartita with virtuosity and suspense. The Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz impresses as a whole and at the same time through the quality of its soloists. The recording technique is very good, so that this recording can only be recommended." https://www.pizzicato.lu/ungarisches-von-miklos-rozsa/

For thirty years, the Orpheum Foundation for the Advancement of Young Soloists has been fostering musical encounters on the highest level, in which exceptional young soloists are given the opportunity to perform with renowned orchestras under the baton of major conductors. In times of Corona the foundation supports a CD production: Three young soloists play concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The recording took place in the Oberstrass Church in Zurich and the PARRY AUDIO OB van traveled to Switzerland for this special project!

Review pizzicato by Remy Franck: "... ICMA award winner Stephen Waarts kicks things off in the 1st Violin Concerto, which he really plays with immense inspiration and sensitivity. He also shows great musicality in his own cadenzas. [...] Can Cakmur, however, shows in his own cadenzas what he is capable of when it comes to Mozart. [...] As the soloist in this recording, Dudler convinces with a round, warm sound and very nice phrasing..."

Ensemble Resonanz receives the OPUS KLASSIK 2020 in the category Ensemble/Orchestra for "Tenebre" with works by Bryce Dessner, with Moses Sumney. Congratulations!

This album assembles four of Dessner's most recent and important works for strings: a staggering full string orchestra version of his popular masterpiece »Aheym« followed by a new edition of his captivating string quartet »Tenebre«, featuring an appearance by vocal sensation Moses Sumney. Dessner's string trio »Skrik« appears as a world premiere recording, while his orchestral piece »Lachrimae«, referencing the musical world of John Dowland, completes this collection of a multi-faceted composer.

The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross

The recording of the new CD by Ensemble Resonance and Riccardo Minasi was realised with PARRY AUDIO mobile equipment in St. Nikolai, Harvestehude.

Diapason d'Or juin 2019 - N°680, Jean-Luc Macia:

"TECHNIQUE : 4/5 Enregistré en juillet 2018 à la Haupkirche St. Nikolai de Hambourg (Allemagne) par Karola Parry. Un bel espace sonore aéré. Le temps de réverbération assez long ne vient pas contrarier la définition de l'image dans son ensemble et apporte une belle homogénéité aux couleurs orchestrales."
"Aufgenommen im Juli 2018 in der Haupkirche St. Nikolai in Hamburg von Karola Parry. Ein schöner luftiger Klangraum. Die Nachhallzeit genau lang genug,
um nicht in das Klangbild im Ganzen einzugreifen, sie bringt eine schöne Homogenität in die Orchesterfarben."

https://www.rondomagazin.de/kritiken

David Threasher - Gramophone, May 2019:

"...the original orchestral score comes out far less often than the solo and chamber versions, so this new recording from Ensemble Resonanz is doubly welcome. First, because of the chance it offers to relish this rarity from Haydn's high maturity as a symphonist. Second, because of the finely nuanced performance it receives. The strings have a particular sparkle as captured within the stonework of a reasonably spacious Hamburg church, while the woodwind offer consoling balm..."

"There can't be many ensembles around as stylistically fleet-footed as Hamburg's Ensemble Resonanz [...] for this recording they've gone for the more brilliant-toned metal option. Interestingly Queyras has too, and the detailed attention he's paid to colouring every note puts paid to any notion that you need gut strings to present the full gamut of such subtleties ..."

Reviews:

The Classical Review, Top Ten Recordings of 2016, December 31, 2016:

"The time for the rediscovery of the music of Walter Braunfels is at hand. In addition to another recording of this composer's excellent Grosse Messe (also on the Capriccio label and included in the Honorable Mentions below), soprano Marlis Petersen made a superlative case for his songs. She sparkles with irrepressible energy in high-flying treble songs, but she's also a pool of silvered water in the charming "Die Nachtigall." That song is part of the Fragmente eines Federspiels (Fragments of a Feather Play), a set of eight songs devoted to different birds. Braunfels made a set of nine further bird songs, the Neues Federspiel, as a companion piece, also recorded by Petersen to the same beautiful effect."

Balance Engineer: Eberhard Schnellen, Roman Vehlken
Digital Editing: Johanna Vollus

klassik-heute.com 12 / 2014: »Daniel Inbal, familiar with the piece since his time at the Vienna Volksoper, finds with his musicians the right idiom, enchants with weightless waltz-elegance.«

NOZ 11 / 2014: »In order to achieve the best possible sound quality, the recording wasn´t live at the theatre performance. No, label cpo and the musical theater group rented the Osnabrück-Halle for two days and recorded the whole piece as if in the recording studio. The result is a fast-paced recording. Daniel Inbal has managed to motivate the orchestra and the ensemble so that the operetta really does grow wings. The Osnabrück Symphonieorchester plays buoyant, but also explores the depths that Lehár has underlined in the score.«

klassik.com 04 / 2015: »Authentic, complete, good. ... The now complete sounding score is realized by the outstanding Osnabrück Symphonieorchester with the sparkle and mellifluousness, which are so indispensable for Lehars. The conductor Daniel Inbal inspires his musicians to high performances, but maintains with all precision the feeling of the light-footed. This sounds sensible and handy at the same time - like an intoxication that overcomes the listener with a joyous cheerfulness, but which hinders the person concerned from continuing.
