A shelter where people can be sure of quality and find so much to discover: founder Michael Adda on his record label, La Dolce Volta
[…] able to attract when starting the label, people assumed that he must have the backing of a bigger label, but this is not the case.He selects the musicians because he believes in them. He didn't actually study music, he describes himself as a businessman, but is passionate about music and wants to share his passion.The label is focused on pianists with some chamber music with string quartet and organ. The string quartet because of the Talich Quartet whose back catalogue he bought from Calliope, and similarly he bought Andre Isoir's organ discs including the complete Bach, though Andre Isoir died five years ago. This meant that Michael needed to find a new organist. He had tried for two years to seduce Olivier Latry (titulaire at Notre Dame de Paris) and finally in 2019, Latry recorded a disc of Bach for Michael on the organ of Notre Dame.

Charmes: an alternative century of song from Olena Tokar and Igor Gryshyn with music by Alma Mahler-Werfel, Clara Schumann, Pauline Viardot-Garcia and Vitezslava Kapralova

It is fascinating hearing the settings of Pushkin and Fet, apparently linguistically sympathetic yet sounding nothing like contemporary Russian song. Finally on the disc, the least known composer. The Czech Vitezslava Kapralova was born in Brno, the daughter of a composer (father) and a singer (mother). She studied first at Brno Conservatory, and then with Vítězslav Novák, and Václav Talich in Prague, and Bohuslav Martinů (and possibly Nadia Boulanger) in Paris. Quite a pedigree. And she had quite a career, accumulating a body of work and conducting both the Czech Philharmonic and the BBC Orchestra. But she died at the age of 25, misdiagnosed so a double tragedy.

Myung-Whun Chung conducts Brahms 4th Symphony
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Symphony No. 4 in E Minor Op. 98 1. Allegro non troppo 2. Andante moderato 3. Allegro giocoso 4. Allegro energico e passionato Czech Philharmonic Orchestra Myung-Whun Chung Exton 2015 Chung's interpretation is both strong and Romantic. This is one of the best recordings of this symphony done in the modern era. This is one of the few post WWII Brahms recordings which nails the emotional content of the music and allows it to grow organically. Chung's tempi are flexible, and he allows each line in the texture time to breathe while keeping things moving. The scherzo, in particular, is brisk, and full of imaginative details. The balances in the orchestra are very good, and textures are clear and warm at the same time. The wonderful playing reminds one this is the orchestra Talich built. Chung's recording fits into the tradition of excellence for […]
