Alfred Schnittke: Musica NostalgicaOpis:Product DescriptionFor those wanting to explore the chamber music of 20th-century master, Alfred Schinttke, this CD is the perfect place to start. The disc ends with a highly personal musical memorial to Schnittke by Leonard Elschenbroich as both composer and performer, who has had since his early years a deep interest in both the man and music: arguably the greatest Russian composer since Shostakovich.

ReviewThe playing is introspective and intense, with plenty moody self-reflection in the dark ebbs and whispered nostalgia of the First Cello Sonata. The Suite in the Old Style is Schnittke s reworking of his film music from the excellently named Sport, Sport, Sport and Adventures of a Dentist; here, Elschenbroich s seriousness misses the caustic wit in the music, but he makes up for it with a cello sound that gleams. Petr Limonov provides immaculately chiselled piano counterparts throughout. --Kate Molleson The Guardian, 5th January 2017German cellist Leonard Elschenbroich, who is playing Brahms with the NSO tonight, here gives an account of his deep immersion in the music of Alfred Schnittke. Elschenbroich and pianist Petr Limonov respond as vividly to the bleak and musically disembodied in Schnittke as he does to the composer s sometimes super-naive-sounding adoption of bygone styles. The biggest, and most impressive achievement is the First Cello Sonata of 1978. The Suite in the Old Style is done with velvet gloves, and the high contrasts of Madrigal: In memoriam Oleg Kagan and Musica nostalgica match those of Elschenbroich s own Shards of Schnittke, which he wrote in 2008 when he was in his early 20s. --Michael Dervan Irish Times, 11th January 2017'Alfred Schnittke was a fascinating individual, applying what he called a polystylistic approach to composition. Thus the pseudo-Baroqueness of Musica Nostalgica that freely embarks on modernist detours only to frizzle out in a haze of harmonic fog. It s the title track on this affectionate tribute to Schnittke by cellist Leonard Elshenbroich and pianist Petr Limonov, which explores different aspects of the composer s music, from the brilliant attitudinal extremes of the Sonata No 1 (with its blazing whirlwind of a scherzo, played with venomous energy) and the charm of Suite in the Old Style, to the elegiac timelessness of the Madrigal In Memoriam Oleg Kagan. The disc ends with Elsenbroich s own Shards of Alfred Schnittke, a consummately written reflection on the composer, which draws themes from Schnittke, weaving them through this elegiac score with effortless craft, and more than a hint of gilt-edged nostalgia.' **** --Ken Walton The Scotsman, 31st January 2017Autor:Leonard ElschenbroichNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2017-01-20Waga: 0.22 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmSonata per cello e piano n.1 (1978)Suite in stile antico (1972) per cello e pianoMemoriam Oleg KaganMusica nostalgica (1992) per cello e pianoMusica NostalgicaSonata per cello e piano n.1 (1978)Suite in stile antico (1972) per cello e pianoMemoriam Oleg KaganMusica nostalgica (1992) per cello e pianoUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
