Beethoven - Songs and Folksongs
Ian Bostridge Antonio Pappano Vilde Frang Nicolas Altstaedt via Qobuz I liked this very much. Can't tell a lot about the sound quality as I was streaming it while gardening, but the performances are top notch. Conductor Antonio Pappano gladly trades in his conductor’s baton for his piano keys in this recording during which he accompanies some of the greatest voices in music today. He plays in perfect complicity with English tenor Ian Bostridge in this exciting program devoted to a selection of Beethoven’s Lieder. The centrepiece of this album is, of course, An die ferne Geliebte (“To the distant beloved”), which is considered to be the first ever Lieder cycle in the history of music. The six poems depict an unknown woman that the composer had idealised from their very first encounter, quickly followed by their separation. His longing for her caused him so much torment that even the joyous awakening of spring could not take away his melancholy in this heart-rending lover’s lament. The other twenty or so Lieder on this album, including the famous Adelaide, which was also set to music by Schubert, are a testament to Beethoven’s mastery of the lied and popular songs, which he liked to harmonise. Ian Bostridge and Antonio Pappano interpret these rare gems with sensitivity and sophistication. © François Hudry/Qobuz

John Wilson, conductor
Sinfonia of London Escales: French Orchestral Works Chandos, 2020 Except for the Durufle: Trois Dances and the Ibert: Escales, I am not recommending this. The Espana is not a success for me.
