Sinfonia Fantastica Op.14Opis:Product DescriptionA world might seem to divide the unbridled Romanticism of Berlioz from the highly controlled art of Rameau, standard-bearer of the French Late Baroque. And yet, at a distance of less than a century ('Hippolyte' was premiered in 1733, the 'Fantastique' in 1830), the same passion links two works more similar than their stylistic divergence might suggest. There is the same audacity in the orchestration, combined with an innate sense of drama that springs repeated rhythmic and harmonic surprises. The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra performs here a task requiring unusual versatility under their Music Director, Daniel Harding, establishing a dialogue between two very different pioneers. Daniel Harding is also Principal Guest Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and Music Partner of the New Japan Philharmonic. He takes up the baton at the Orchestre de Paris -the first British maestro in the orchestra s history - this September, 2016. He is Conductor Laureate of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra for life.

ReviewGRAMOPHONE EDITOR S CHOICE 'vibrant, pointed, stylish Rameau...more massive than our ears are used to but still quick on its feet ... Harding s Berlioz is resilient, pliant, conducted with a temporal freedom that always seems ambitious but ends up feeling electrifyingly right ... Turn from Harding to his current peers perhaps even to Charles Munch or Igor Markevitch and it s like going from IMAX cinema to living-room black-and-white.' David Allen Gramophone, October 2016 -------------------------------------- **** 'We usually think of Berlioz s Symphonie Fantastique in the context of the Romanticism burgeoning all around it at its 1830 premiere. Conductor Daniel Harding instead suggests, brilliantly, that we hear it as part of an ongoing French tradition exemplified only a century earlier by the swagger of the high baroque. Rameau s suite of dances from Hippolyte et Aricie is an exuberant upbeat to a performance of the Symphonie that delights in the raw sonic capabilities of the orchestra. Harding s own Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra are stylish in both. There s some brazen playing to enjoy the low brass in March to the Scaffold sound like a foghorn but the impression of a lack of refinement is deceptive: the balance and pace are always tautly in check. Another Symphonie Fantastique, by the Concertgebouw, under Daniele Gatti, is released this month, but next to Harding s it sounds grey.' --The Guardian***** 'What makes Rameau and Berlioz such a satisfying coupling? Despite the fact they lived virtually a century apart, therefore inhabiting different musical époques, they were both revolutionaries, radicals, utterly French and spectacular in their theatrical flavouring of the orchestra. Moreover, the mouthpiece of their respective originality in this vibrant new recording is Daniel Harding s gilt-edged Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, every bit as riveting as their Edinburgh Festival appearance last month, and finding exceptional detail and expressiveness in these searing readings of Berlioz s Symphonie Fantastique and Rameau s Hippolyte et Aricie suite. The Rameau is crisp and precise with venomous fire in its belly, driven by gutsy rhythmic attack, pungent tone and a remarkable period feel given this is a standard symphony orchestra. The Berlioz is ripe, explosive and furiously exciting, but not without the tenderness and swagger that characterise the music s softer side. Utterly refreshing.' --Ken Walton The Scotsman, 3rd September 2016'I like the combination; the way it emphasises Rameau s sense of colour and dramatic daring ... an audacious coupling, I enjoyed it a lot, not just the idea but also the execution' Andrew McGregor BBC Radio 3 Record Review, 27th August 2016 ----------------------- ***** 'the performance is a cracker. The Swedes play with a passion, swagger and relish for the grotesque that makes a nonsense of national stereotypes, and Harding s attention to detail is exemplary wAutor:Swedish Radio Symphony OrchestraNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; French: Published; German: Published; English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2016-09-09Waga: 0.25 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmNew Store StockUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
