Vivid and strong-minded performances: Bach's Harpsichord Concertos from Steven Devine and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
[…] cantata Geistund Seele wird verwirret.Whilst the disc uses the instrumental forces of the OAE, of which Devine is principal keyboard player, there is not what we might think of as an orchestra. Just single instruments, Margaret Faultless and Kati Debretzeni, violins, Max Mandel, viola, Andrew Skidmore, cello and Christine Sticher, double bass, pluse Katharina Spreckelsen, oboe in the final concerto.Steven Devine plays a double-manual harpsichord by Colin Booth (2000) after a single-manual by Johann Christof Fleischer (Hamburg, 1710). The harpsichord has a fine musical sound with a good core to the notes. It isn't my favourite recorded harpsichord, but certainly the tone quality of the notes are more centred, more tone and less pluck than some (sorry to sound so picky, but these are the sorts of things I think about when listening to harpsichords).The disc is recorded quite closely, these are not delicate, intimate performances but rather strong ones […]

The intriguing tale of what came next: Steven Devine explores the music of Bach's talented pupil, Johann Ludwig Krebs
[…] Classics and the first two volumes have been issued (with four more planned). Volume One contains the Partita in A minor, six fugues and the Concerto in G major 'in the Italian style', whilst Volume two contains the Overture in the French style, the Partita in B flat major and the Sonata in A minor. On both discs, Devine plays a double manual harpsichord by Colin Booth from 2000 after a single manual by Johann Christophe Fleischer (Hamburg, 1710); performing at Baroque pitch and in a temperament from 1691. I include all these details because, for me, they are important as regards the sound. I have to confess, first off, that I have a love/hate relationship with harpsichords on disc, but here the instrument has a lovely clarity to it, not too much sound of the action and with a nicely centred tone, so that we hear the notes and the […]

Johannes Brahms:01. - 03. Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, op.15 [51'23]04. - 07. Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, op.83 [51'11] Garrick Ohlsson- piano, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tadaaki Otaka ABC Classics 4810409 [recorded November 2012; digital download released July 2014] [digital download; flacs, cover and inlay scans, no booklet] Recording venue: Arts Centre, Melbourne, AustraliaRecording engineer: Alex Stinson; Producer: Duncan Yardley Here's an intersting mix of American pianist, Japanese conductor and Australian orchestra. Recorded in concert in Melbourne's main arts complex, the audience is surprisingly quiet during the performance and there's little evidence of any patching. However, they do break out into enthusiastic applause at the end of each work. Garrick Ohlsson follows the modern trend of taking his time playing these concertos. If this troubles you, you are unlikely to be swayed away from the early stereo classic Leon Fleischer with the Cleveland Orchestra under […]
