Elliott Carter: Piano Concerto; Concerto for Orchestra; Concerto for Orchestra; Three Occasions

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. ...

Janácek: Sinfonietta; Violin Concerto; Cunning Little Vixen (1995) more music like this

performed by SWR Baden-Baden and Freiburg Symphony Orchestra, Václav Neumann (conductor)
composed by Leos Janácek

On the whole, Arte Nova turns out respectable budget CDs, and reissues of the label's releases from the 1990s are usually worth a second look. However, this presentation of Leos Janácek's Sinfonietta (1926); the single-movement Violin Concerto, "Pilgrimage of the Soul" (1926, reconstructed by Milos Stedron and Leos Faltus in 1988); and the suite ...

performed by Christian Kohn (piano), Silke-Thora Matthies (piano), SWR Baden-Baden and Freiburg Symphony Orchestra, Peter Ruzicka (conductor)
composed by Giselher Klebe

Strongly informed by the Romantic operatic impulse, Giselher Klebe's music is vividly dramatic and intensely passionate, in both his stage works and his instrumental music. This 2004 release from Marco Polo is the second volume of Klebe's piano music, and prominently features his ominous Počma drammatico for two pianos and orchestra. The ...

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 ...

Schönberg: Gurrelieder [Hybrid SACD]

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 ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 9; Boulez: Rituel; Notations I-IV, VII (2003) more music like this

performed by SWR Baden-Baden and Freiburg Symphony Orchestra, Michael Gielen (conductor)
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 ...
