Tchaikovsky & Shakespeare / Dudamel/SBYO 

(1 CD) DGG B001529602 $20.98 $17.98 

Gustavo Dudamel, the “energetic ambassador 

for classical music” (Vanity Fair), conducts 

symphonic pieces derived from Shakespeare 

as reimagined in music by Tchaikovsky. Unlike 

the fantasy overture, Romeo and Juliet, and 

The Tempest, which are program pieces, 

Hamlet is more mysterious and less literal in the way its thematic 

material is developed. In every case, Dudamel elicits the most 

appropriate interpretations imagineable from his electrifying Simon 

Bolivar Symphony Orchestra.

recital Journal intime, was described by The Guardian as “altogether 

breathtakingly beautiful”.

anniversary of Grainger’s death in February 

1961. Grainger’s Jungle Book cycle was

sentiments of Kipling’s poetry and Grainger wrote of the cycle that it 

was, “composed as a protest against civilization.”

“...[This] interpretation, performed on a small, 

period-instrumented orchestra, is a revelation. 

Textures are as transparent as chamber music. 

Phrases and ideas are nuanced, but disciplined 

rather than heart-on-sleeve. Attack is crisp. In 

short, Gardiner and his orchestra have placed the 

work firmly within the classical tradition, as a 

natural continuation from Brahms’ symphonic idol 

Beethoven, rather than the seamless precursor to 

Wagner... This invigorating performance is more 

than an interpretation. It’s an entire reassessment 

of how Brahms’ fourth and final symphony should 

be understood and performed. Marvellous.”-BBC

Threads, written by Paul Lansky for So

ensembles over the years, is a half-hour long 

“cantata” for percussion quartet in ten short 

movements. “The usual notion of percussion”, 

says Lansky, “is that it’s loud and noisy, so I 

designed it perversely to be lyrical. I think it’s one 

of my best pieces.”

6NEWC 8802033 $37.49 $33.49 

“Marriner’s performances of the 

Unfinished and the Great C 

major are magnificent. The latter 

would certainly be on my 

“Critics’ Choice” list if it could be bought on its 

own. The first movement has unusual tension and 

excitement, and the second is beautifully relaxed 

with every detail clear, and what entrancing 

r 

details they are. I can’t think of any 

movement by any composer before 

1825 which is so subtly scored for 

the brass. I personally regret the 

repeat in the finale; it tends to draw 

attention to a falling-off in quality 

which you might not otherwise notice. 

But this is certainly a performance to treasure.” -

“Markevitch recorded a complete cycle of 

Tchaikovsky symphonies with the LSO between 

1962 and 1966. As time went by they were 

overshadowed by both the Karajan and Haitink 

sets and to some extent by Muti, too. The 

recording was always brilliant and resonantly full 

with fine deep brass sonorities; now it is that bit 

clearer, yet the strings remain rounded and the 

ambient bloom is retained... Overall, these 

performances match the best available, with the 

adrenaline running free, a fine understanding of 

the music and a spontaneous Tchaikovskian 

feeling pervading the music-making throughout. 

This issue certainly represents outstanding 

value.”-Gramophone

than on the stylistic fidelity of its presentation, but 

most of the romantic ghosts of their past have 

effectively exorcised. Whatever I Musici may have 

discarded it is not the sumptuousness of their 

sound (though the good recording ensures that it 

rarely muddies the textures).”-Gramophone

“This playfully-conceived recital 

sees the American singer take 

full advantage of the vocal and 

gender range of the mezzo 

repertoire, voicing not only the 

eager young men of her many 

“trouser” roles but also 

passionate heroines. With the dramatic flair and 

vocal acuity of an operatic natural, she sings an 

array of roles including Massenet’s Chérubin and 

Ariane, Mozart’s Susanna, Berlioz’s Marguerite, 

Bellini’s Romeo, and Strauss’s Composer. Along 

with DiDonato’s dizzying characterizations, the 

album explores the same stories in operatic 

treatments by different composers” -

proof were required that significant Spanish, post-

influenced by, though not obsessed with Spain’s 

past, Balada would suffice to provide it.... Naxos

second symphony, a petite one-movement work, 

could loosely be described as a realist tone 

poem... Not only has [Gergiev] and his attentive 

orchestra faithfully and artfully scaled one of the 

composer’s highest peaks with the 11th, they’ve 

gone some way to invigorating a less popular

“A Bruckner symphony played by a chamber 

orchestra?...Bruckner’s lyrical moments achieve a 

wonderful intimacy, while his quirky structures 

and changing textures knit together in a manner 

hard to duplicate with big forces. Dausgaard’s 

players, horns especially, revel in the spotlight.

sharp and lively conducting, Fabrizio Maria 

Carminati puts the Orchestra of the Teatro La 

Fenice entirely at the service of three exceptional 

singers, Sonia Ganassi (“an extraordinary 

performance,” Opera Today) as Elisabetta, 

Fiorenza Cedolins (“colorful, nuanced, highly 

dramatic heroine,” Frankfurter Allgemeine 

Zeitung) as Maria Stuarda, and José Bros as a 

passionate Leicester. Maria Stuarda is the most 

popular work in Donizetti’s trilogy of bel canto 

operas on Tudor queens.
