David Oistrakh (violin)

Not so long ago, Gramophone magazine asked several of today’s leading virtuosos: who is the violinist’s violinist? The answer was almost unequivocal: David Oistrakh, violinist, footballer and gentleman. Growing up and thriving in difficult and dangerous times in Stalin’s Russia, his almost superhuman patience and poise made him an ideal recording artist, but that consistency is no less evident in this historical collection of live performances which have been collected to mark the hundredth anniversary of his birth. It includes several concertos of which he was progenitor, if not dedicatee, by virtue of his strength and delicacy as an artist: the two by Shostakovich and others by Prokofiev, Myaskovsky and Kabalevsky. The favourite hall-fillers by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Sibelius are included – and Oistrakh’s partners are no less distinguished, among them Yevgeny Mravinsky, Kurt Sanderling and the great conductor-accompanist, Kyrill Kondrashin, who recognised a kindred spirit in the dedication and human warmth of Oistrakh. There is, therefore, a significant representation of Oistrakh not just as heroic soloist but as gregarious chamber musician, with friends including the pianists Lev Oborin and Vladimir Yampolsky and the cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky. Their repertoire ranges from Albéniz to Zarzycki, including showpieces such as Tartini’s ‘Devil’s Trill’ Sonata and Beethoven’s ‘Kreutzer’ as well as more Oistrakh-inspired works by Prokofiev and Catoire. This is an essential set both for anyone who has some of Oistrakh’s many studio recordings and wishes to explore further, and as an introduction to one of the last century’s most inspiring musicians.

The late 1940s were in many respects a period of transition in Germany and the people of Dresden were still in a state of shock after the Second World War. People were striving to regain a sense of normality in their lives and music in particular helped this. Concert and opera seasons were instituted and The Staatskapelle programmes during that period contained an astonishing number of world premieres, including a whole series of works by composers like Ernst Toch, whose works were banned in the Third Reich.

Volume 26 documents this transition with two works by Toch and Hindemith, the former presented in its world premičre recording.

At no time in its long history did European music go through a period of such revolution and diversification as in the 20th Century.

Wagner had transformed music in the 19th century to the extent that every composer coming after had to acknowledge his existence, to a lesser or greater extent.

The advent of the new century saw a great flourishing of compositional styles and techniques that were largely the direct result of Wagner's influence.

Not only that, the new century was to be one of great technological advance and invention. The gramophone and, later, the spread of radio, brought about massive changes in the way that ordinary people accessed and perceived music. Suddenly a whole new world of serious music was to open up to an audience that had hitherto been excluded from what had previously been, albeit unintentionally, an elitist art form.

The works in this set of 16 CDs have been arranged in strict chronological order of composition and the first disc begins with a work from 1901 that has become one of the most popular works in the classical repertoire, mainly through it's use in another great 20th-century art form – the film: Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto.

Thereafter each disc in the set takes the listener on a fascinating journey through the century, composer by composer and work by work, from Russian Romanticism, French Impressionism, English Pastoralism, Atonalism, Neo Classicism right up to Post Modernism, and from as wide a range of countries and genres as possible.

There can be few, if any, musicians, whilst practicing works written earlier than the 20th century, who have not wondered how the composer himself might have performed their music. There are reports, some of which are most skilful in their description, how the likes of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven may have played or improvised; furthermore there are lines of teacher/pupil relationships which can trace their lineage back to the pianistic greats such as Liszt, but still we have to imagine the sound since we cannot actually hear it.

Edison’s invention of a recording machine which developed through the Gramophone to the latest Hi-Fi system of today has been able to capture an extraordinary range of music which continues to give us endless pleasure, though some of us might occasionally even have sympathy with the perspicacious remark that Sir Arthur Sullivan recorded in a message to Edison congratulating him on his invention but expressing his terror “at the thought that much hideous and bad music may be put on record for ever”.

Some composers have left us an extensive catalogue of recorded performances, most notably Edward Elgar, Igor Stravinsky and Benjamin Britten. Others like Olivier Messiaen, Heitor Villa-Lobos and William Walton have left us significant, although limited, editions. All too many, however, have merely left us a mere fraction of their output and it was to bring these recordings to the record-buying public that the EMI Classics series COMPOSERS IN PERSON was planned and researched by Ken Jagger (1945-2007). He did include representative issues for five the above named composers in the series so as to provide a total of 20 releases.

Most composers are found as either conductors or pianists (so sometimes both) although some appear on other instruments – Hindemith as violist as well as conductor and Messiaen, Widor, Vierne and Dupré as organist.

Earl Wild

Earl Wild, whose legendary career has spanned over 70 years, performs in this brand new recording four 20th and 21st century piano sonatas. Mr. Wild states: "I had a personal friendship with all four composers on this disc, although one of the relationships has been a little more intimate. I have performed the Hindemith and Stravinsky sonatas in public many times since the 1940s. The Barber Sonata however is a first performance for me. I have the greatest admiration for this wonderful work. My own Sonata was completed in April of this year. A stylistically eclectic work, it incorporates Civil War tunes, echoes of popular music of the 1920s and, in the finale (entitled "Toccata a la Ricky Martin"), there is a distinctive Latin American flavour.
