Mahler: Symphonies No.6, No.10 & Das Lied von der Erde (Mark Wigglesworth)
[…] and she makes a very good stab at the alto part but ultimately doesn't quite match Janet Baker, Alfreda Hodgson or Christa Ludwig in Mahler's original. But I do find her preferable to many big name singers in this work. Wigglesworth's tempi are generally very well judged - excepting perhaps for Der Abschied which is undoubtedly on the slow side - but this didn't trouble me. Playing by the ad-hoc Premiere Ensemble, led by Anthony Marwood, is generally excellent; as is the recorded sound. Overall, I find this to be the best recording of the chamber version that I have heard. Download from Mega.

Waterloo Festival (4) - Schubert and Mozart, 23 June 2021
St John’s, Waterloo Schubert: String Trio in B-flat major, D 471 Mozart: Divertimento in E-flat major, KV 563 Anthony Marwood (violin)Hélène Clément (viola) Tim Posner (cello) Images: Matthew Johnson Following a day from hell at work and consequent mad dash to the station to reach St John’s Waterloo in time, this programme of two string trios, one a fragment and one a towering masterpiece not only of the trio but also of the whole chamber repertoire, proved just the ticket. Schubert’s torso, here given only with its first movement, the only one completed, worked well as a generous curtain raiser. Here, Anthony Marwood, Hélène Posner and Tim Posner caught its mood beautifully from the outset: graceful, variegated, and post-Mozartian—just, though in that ‘just’, like the ‘and’ of Tristan and Isolde, lies everything. The fascination of string trio texture, whether for players, listeners, or composer was […]

Deliberately going against the grain: Nicholas Collon, artistic director of Aurora Orchestra, on eclectic programming, performing from memory and music of the spheres
[…] wide spectrum of listeners. He found Max Richter wonderful to work with; Richter wrote the piece quickly, suggested useful ideas in rehearsal and produced the recording of his piece for the disc. Nicolas also adores Thomas Ades' music and regards the Violin Concerto 'Concentric Paths' as one of the great concertos of the last 75 years [The work was commissioned by the Berliner Festspiele and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and first performed by Anthony Marwood, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Thomas Adès on 4 September 2005 in the Kammermusiksaal at the Berliner Festspiele]. Nicholas refers to the work's combination of virtuosity and aesthetic beauty, and describes to me in detail a magical moment in the slow movement of the work. In its combination of complex music and interesting emotions, the work explores themes which relate to how Nicholas thinks about music. Nicholas performed the work with Pekka Kuusisto […]
