Alfred Schnittke: Concerto for Viola and Orchestra | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.5 in E minor – Antoine Tamestit, SWR Symphonieorchester, Teodor Currentzis (HD 1080p)
Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis, an "eccentric super-talented maestro", conducts SWR Symphonieorchester in Alfred Schnittke's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra (viola plays Antoine Tamestit), and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5 in E minor, Op.64. The concert recorded at Liederhalle Stuttgart, on December 14, 2018.✻1985 was a watershed year in Alfred Schnittke's life, in good ways and bad. It was a tremendously prolific year, seeing the composition of some of Schnittke's most famous, personality-defining works – his String Trio, his Third Concerto Grosso, the first two movements of his First Cello Concerto, and his Viola Concerto. However, these works seem to have come at a cost: soon after the completion of the Trio, Schnittke suffered his first serious strokes. This catastrophic turn would have immense effect: just as Schnittke's work was entering a kind of "archetype" stage, it would shift radically. Everything after that fateful year, as Schnittke remarked in 1988, would […]

Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No.14 in G minor – Julia Korpacheva, Peter Migunov, MusicAeterna, Teodor Currentzis (Download 44.1kHz/16bit)
Alpha is now reissuing three recordings from its back catalogue, the first discs of the conductor Teodor Currentzis. An opportunity to discover or rediscover three very different styles, and three facets of the talent of "the enfant terrible of classical music", as Le Figaro called him, for whom "music is intended to transport into the waking world the sentiments we feel when we dream". With their invitation to travel through different periods and territories, these reissues may be appreciated both separately and as a triptych revealing the artistic approach of Teodor Currentzis and his ensemble MusicAeterna, from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas (here served by an exceptional cast of singers) to Shostakovich's Symphony No.14 (conducted like a dance of death) by way of Mozart's Requiem, the Salzburg composer's last work, here given an invigorating reinterpretation.After a striking Dido and Aeneas, Teodor Currentzis and his Siberian orchestra present a new version of […]

Temple Music Foundation is a lesser known gem on the performing arts landscape of London. It regularly brings top-tier choral, chamber and recital performances to audiences in the unique setting of Inner Temple, one of London’s four barrister Inns. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Fleet Street, the inn’s lopsided cobbled passageways lead to a musical oasis in either Middle Temple Hall or Temple Church. On May 11th, as the second event in the Temple Song Series, the stained-glass windows and wood-paneled walls of Middle Temple Hall were host to a wonderful performance by soprano Nadine Kutcher and pianist Julius Drake. Ms. Koutcher, the 2015 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World winner, and Mr. Drake, a long-established leading pianist, presented an unusual and refreshing mix of repertoire. The evening began with Four Victor Hugo settings by Franz Liszt, a composer whose virtuosic piano compositions are frequently performed but […]
