Johannes Brahms
Violin Concerto Op. 77 in D Major
Shlomo Mintz
Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala
Giuseppe Sinopoli
MC 9922


This rare CD presents an UN charity concert to raise funds for the children of Kosovo, at La Scala in 1998. Giving us an opportunity to hear once again the art of the unforgettable late Maestro Sinopoli, well complemented here by Mintz's violin.

Sinfonia Concertante K. 364 in E-Flat Major
Clarinet Concerto K. 622 in A Major
Francesco Manara, Danilo Rossi
Fabrizio Meloni

Muti's refreshing approach to these masterpieces offers the Neapolitan Maestro a good chance to showcase some of the finest La Scala orchestra leaders (seven years before his sour break-up with Milan).

Lekeu - Œuvres Orchestrales (1992)

Guillaume Lekeu
Œuvres Orchestrales


Orchestre Philarmonique de Liege et de la Communauté Française
dir. Pierre Bartholomee

Ricercar, RIS 084067




Fortunately, for us, Lekeu's short life did non prevent him from writing music.
An unknown name today (apart for his violin sonata, often coupled with Franck's one), he met great masters in his short musical journey (D'Indy, Ysaye) and studied for a year with Cesar Franck.
His music, clearly influenced by those eminent figures, is, if not completely mature, highly individual and full of passion and lyricism, and shows a skillful hand in orchestration and melodic invention.
A Piano Quartet left, abruptly, incomplete by his sudden death, remain as a trace of what surely would have been a flourishing musical career.


I think Pierre Bartholomee and his orchestra - though I'm not aware of any other recordings of this music, so can't have a reference to compare with - respond fully and with great dedication to this wonderful music.

Enjoy!
