composed by Frank Martin

It's not surprising that when Frank Martin, one of the twentieth century's most devout composers, began a work based on the legend of Tristan and Iseult, he turned not to Thomas Malory's Le morte d'Arthur or to Wagner's source, Gottfried von Strassburg's Tristan, both of which depict the lovers as totally abandoned to their passion, but to Joseph ...

This 2005 compilation draws on ten previous Telarc albums by Robert Shaw, the Robert Shaw Festival Singers, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, and highlights a cappella performances from the esteemed conductor's last decade. Since the program is largely sacred in nature, the album's tone is reverent and placid, with little contrast. Dieu ...

Frank Martin: Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke

Frank Martin: Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke (2007) more music like this

performed by Christianne Stotijn (contralto), Orchester Musikkollegium Winterthur, Jac van Steen (conductor)
composed by Frank Martin

Much to Rainer Maria Rilke's dismay, his 1899 extended prose poem "Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke" was a magnet for composers, and the author is on record as having only contempt for musical settings of his work. Nonetheless, composers have continued to overlook Rilke's wishes, creating pieces based on the writing as ...

performed by Benjamin Britten (piano), Dennis Brain (french horn), Noel Mewton-Wood (piano), Peter Pears (tenor)
composed by Frank Martin, Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Michael Tippett, Paul Hindemith, Spoken Word

With Milton's The Age of Gold as a title, this disc has a lot to live up to. But this BBC broadcast recital from January 28, 1953, performed by tenor Peter Pears accompanied by pianist Noel Mewton-Wood with guest hornist Dennis Brain, featuring works by Schubert, Beethoven, Hindemith, and Tippett, does indeed qualify as an authentic aesthetic ...

composed by Frank Martin

As fine as MDG's standard-issue disc of Frank Martin's concertos is, this Hybrid SACD version is even better, not only for the much clearer, multidimensional sound quality, but also because of the improved focus on the orchestral details and the heightened presence of the soloists. Violinist Michael Erxleben is especially clear in the Violin ...
