Elliott Carter: Piano Concerto; Concerto for Orchestra; Concerto for Orchestra; Three Occasions (1995) more music like this

performed by Ursula Oppens (piano), SWR Baden-Baden and Freiburg Symphony Orchestra, Michael Gielen (conductor)
composed by Elliott Carter

As documents of Elliott Carter's fully developed procedures, the first two works presented here are among the most challenging in the modernist repertoire. The Piano Concerto (1965) is uncompromising in its aggression and expressionism, and the contentious activity between the piano and orchestra is almost impenetrable in the first movement. ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 10 - A Performing Version by Deryck Cooke (2005) more music like this

performed by SWR Baden-Baden and Freiburg Symphony Orchestra, Michael Gielen (conductor)
composed by Gustav Mahler

The most important thing to know about this recording of Deryck Cooke's performing version of Mahler's Tenth Symphony with Michael Gielen leading the SWR-Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freibrug is that the conductor passionately and profoundly believes in the music. Not every conductor has: put off by the fact that Mahler didn't live to ...

performed by Andreas Schmidt (speech/speaker/speaking part), Melanie Diener (soprano), Ralf Lukas (baritone), Robert Dean Smith (tenor), Yvonne Naef (mezzo-soprano), Bavarian Radio Chorus (choir, chorus), Leipzig Radio Chorus (choir, chorus)
composed by Arnold Schoenberg

Because the release of this magnificent SACD of Arnold Schoenberg's Gurrelieder was intended to celebrate conductor Michael Gielen's 80th birthday, the enterprise seems a fitting present to him, since few conductors have been more devoted to the composer's cause; this brilliant performance appears to be a fulfillment of Gielen's long-held wish to ...

composed by Gustav Mahler, Pierre Boulez

Several of Michael Gielen's Hänssler releases feature unusual programming, but this double CD of the Symphony No. 9 in D major by Gustav Mahler and two important works by Pierre Boulez is possibly the most arcane match-up of them all. Or at least it seems so until the indirect influence of the older master's austere late style on serialism comes ...
