ConNotationsOpis:Review 4* - ...an enjoyable programme. With trumpeter Philipp Hutter and the pleasingly lean-sounding Britten Sinfonia, Foo makes light work of the Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and Strings, in which Shostakovich, that compulsive player of musical hide and seek, tries different styles for size. Berg's Chamber Concerto for Piano, Violin and 13 Wind Instruments, featuring violinist Bartosz Woroch, is a less arch but still mischievous piece; a birthday present for Schoenberg, it includes both their names plus that of their Second Viennese schoolmate Webern encoded in the music. Finally, there's Saint-Saëns Carnival of the Animals, portraying not only the titular creatures but also his colleagues in the French music world; Foo and Ashley Wass make a lovely mess of the Pianists movement. --Guardian, 9 Mar'17Its centrepiece comprises an uncommonly perceptive account concentrated, witty and affectionate by turns of Berg's meaty 1925 Chamber Concerto with its sly thematic references to his friends Schoenberg and Webern. Shostakovich's sardonic First Piano Concerto (with trumpeter Philipp Hutter a stylish co-soloist) also enjoys a splendidly alert and vivacious outing and I defy anyone not to derive enjoyment from Foo's pungently characterised alliance with Ashley Wass and members of the Britten Sinfonia in the indestructibly fresh and prodigally inventive menagerie that is Saint-Saëns's The Carnival of the Animals (in 'Tortoises' that hilariously slow-motion treatment of the 'Can-can' from Offenbach's operetta Orpheus in the Underworld is pure genius). A consistently absorbing, truthfully engineered collection... --Classical Ear, Mar'174* Performance / 4* Recording The trio of concertos each of which features piano plus another solo instrument forms a surprisingly satisfying programme, with lighter, exuberant Shostakovich and Saint-Saens framing Berg s darker introversions. --BBC Music Magazine, May'17Autor:Mei Yi FooNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2017Waga: 0.22 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 4.09 cmDługość: 5.06 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
