Beethoven Alfred Brendel Claudio Abbado 1642 2005
When two of the greatest Beethoven interpreters met (Maestro Abbado and Brendel), you can't really expect anything better that this. There are many astonishing performances of this piece but this one just wins it for me in term of orchestra's sound and soloist's musicality. I. Allegro con brio (00:00) II. Largo (16:42) III. Rondo – Allegro (26:08)

In the English capital he met again a former pupil of his father’s: the viola da gamba player and composer Karl Friedrich Abel. It was for the latter’s father, Christian Ferdinand Abel, a member of the Coethen orchestra, that Johann Sebastian had composed his Suites for unaccompanied cello. In London Johann Christian joined forces with the son, Karl Friedrich, and founded a concert society. They were joint directors from 1764 to 1781, and Abel continued for a while after Johann Christian’s death. They gave a concert every week and, as Burney tells us, "as their own compositions were new and excellent, and the best performers of all kinds, which our capital could supply, enlisted under their banners, this concert was better patronised and longer supported than perhaps any one had ever been in this country; having continued for full twenty years with uninterrupted prosperity.’ Johann Christian was among the first to play the pianoforte publicly in London (June 2, 1768). He and Abel thus presented themselves as performers and composers at the same time. When the eight-year-old Mozart arrived in London in 1764 he found Johann Christian concert director, harpsichord teacher to Queen Charlotte, accompanist to the King (who, like Frederick the Great, played the flute), and music master to the royal children. Mozart listened with all his ears to the new compositions of the two German masters who were then setting the tone of English musical taste, and even copied some of them out. (It is known that the Symphony in E flat major, K. 18, formerly attributed to Mozart, is actually by Abel.) Several sets of works have come down to us in which Johann Christian employs wind instruments, sometimes alone and sometimes in combination with strings. Opus 11 — six quintets for flute, oboe, violin, viola, and bass — was published by Welcker in London about 1776. The Quintet in D major, Op. 22 has the same instrumentation. Other works include a Quintet in F major for oboe, violin, viola, cello, and harpsichord, four wind quintets published in Dublin after the composer’s death and known as Military Pieces, and six Sinfonias for two clarinets, two horns, and bassoon usually regarded nowadays as arrangements. Mrs. Papendieck’s diary recounts an episode in Johann Christian’s life about 1776. "John Bach’ was in the habit of playing every Thursday at her house with the Queen’s chamber musicians, and he and Abel would take turns to compose something for these gatherings. One day, having forgotten that it was his turn, Johann Christian sat down before dinner and composed "a ravishing first movement for a quintet in E flat major"; two copyists wrote out the parts at his dictation as the work proceeded. This was the origin of the fourth Quintet of Opus 11. The completed set was dedicated to Karl Theodor, Elector Palatine at Mannheim, where Johann Christian had enjoyed a real triumph with his Temistocles in 1772, and where he presented Lucio Silla in 1776. The dedication of the Quintets read as follows: "Your Highness’s benevolent approval of my efforts at Mannheim has given me infinite satisfaction. Music and the fine arts, supported by your favor and guided by your taste and the thoughtful strength of your judgment, flourish there with unsurpassed vigor. Your Highness’s new command gives me the greatest joy. I am also eager to offer Your Highness this modest token of my constant gratitude for the consideration you have been pleased to accord me.”

Feodor Chaliapin sings - in English - 'The Blind Ploughman,' with orchestra conducted by Rosario Bourdon, recorded by Victor in the Church Building at Camden, New Jersey, on 18 March 1927. From Wikipedia: Feodor Ivanovich Chaliapin... February 13 [O.S. February 1] 1873 – April 12, 1938) was a Russian opera singer. Possessing a deep and expressive bass voice, he enjoyed an important international career at major opera houses and is often credited with establishing the tradition of naturalistic acting in his chosen art form... Feodor Chaliapin was born into a peasant family...His vocal teacher was Dmitri Usatov +••.••(...)). Chaliapin began his career at Tbilisi and at the Imperial Opera in Saint Petersburg in 1894. He was then invited to sing at the Mamontov Private Opera (1896–1899); he first appeared there as Mephistopheles in Gounod's Faust, in which role he achieved considerable success. At Mamontov Chaliapin met Sergei Rachmaninoff +••.••(...)), who was serving as an assistant conductor there and with whom he remained friends for life. Rachmaninoff taught him much about musicianship, including how to analyze a music score, and insisted that Chaliapin learn not only his own roles but also all the other roles in the operas in which he was scheduled to appear. With Rachmaninoff he learned the title role of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, which became his signature character. Chaliapin returned the favour by showing Rachmaninoff how he built each of his interpretations around a culminating moment or 'point.' Regardless of where that point was or at which dynamic within that piece, the performer had to know how to approach it with absolute calculation and precision; otherwise, the whole construction of the piece could crumble and the piece could become disjointed. Rachmaninoff put this approach to considerable use when he became a full-time concert-pianist after World War I. On the strength of his Mamontov appearances, the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow engaged Chaliapin, and he appeared there regularly from 1899 until 1914. During the First World War of 1914-1918 Chaliapin also appeared regularly at the Zimin Private Opera in Moscow. In addition, from 1901, Chaliapin began touring in the West, making a sensational debut at La Scala that year as the devil in a production of Boito's Mefistofele, under the baton of one of the 20th century's most dynamic opera conductors, Arturo Toscanini. At the end of his career, Toscanini observed that the Russian bass was the greatest operatic talent with whom he had ever worked. The singer's Metropolitan Opera debut in the 1907 season was disappointing due to the unprecedented frankness of his stage acting; but he returned to the Met in 1921 and sang there with immense success for eight seasons, New York's audiences having grown more broad-minded since 1907. In 1913 Chaliapin was introduced to London and Paris by the brilliant entrepreneur Sergei Diaghilev +••.••(...)), at which point he began giving well-received solo recitals in which he sang traditional Russian folk-songs as well as more serious fare... Chaliapin toured Australia in 1926, giving a series of recitals which were highly acclaimed...[He remained] perpetually outside Russia after 1921. He still maintained, however, that he was not anti-Soviet. Chaliapin initially moved to Finland and later lived in France. Cosmopolitan Paris, with its significant Russian émigré population, became his base, and ultimately, the city of his death. He was renowned for his larger-than-life carousing during this period, but he never sacrificed his dedication to his art. Chaliapin's attachment to Paris did not prevent him from pursuing an international operatic and concert career in England, the United States, and further afield. In May 1931 he appeared in the Russian Season directed by Sir Thomas Beecham at London's Lyceum Theatre. His most famous part was the title role of Boris Godunov (excerpts of which he recorded 1929–31 and earlier)... Largely owing to his advocacy, Russian operas...became well known in the West. Chaliapin made one sound film for the director G. W. Pabst, the 1933 Don Quixote. The film was made in three different versions – French, English, and German, as was sometimes the prevailing custom. Chaliapin starred in all three versions, each of which used the same script, sets, and costumes, but different supporting casts... In 1932, Chaliapin published a memoir, Man and Mask: Forty Years in the Life of a Singer... Chaliapin's last stage performance took place at the Monte Carlo Opera in 1937, as Boris. He died the following year of leukaemia, aged 65, in Paris, where he was interred. In 1984, his remains were transferred from Paris to Moscow in an elaborate ceremony. They were re-buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery... I transferred this side from an Australian laminated pressing of HMV DA 993.
