Fitzwilliam String Quartet

“…a triumph: the most revelatory version of the piece I've heard in years; animated, dynamic, passionate, with the greater agility and more focused tone of the Ottensteiner clarinet ideally matched to this approach. For warmth and depth of resonance Linn's recording is perfection.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2007 *****

“The Fitzwilliam Quartet offers playing that is pure, sensitive and, where called for gorgeously passionate” The Scotsman

Russian Violin Concertos


Glazunov:

Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 82

Khachaturian:

Violin Concerto in D minor

Prokofiev:

Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 19


“As Julia Fischer explains in the booklet-notes to this, her first CD, she has an abiding love of the Khachaturian Concerto, a work she found impossible to sell to concert-promoters. The freshness of her way with the Khachaturian is immediately striking in the chattering figuration of the opening, and she brings a rare tenderness to the lyrical second subject. The orchestral sound is impressive, too. Though Itzhak Perlman and Lydia Mordkovitch produce a beefier sound, the refinement of Fischer's performance makes it equally compelling. This concerto has claims to be the composer's finest work, claims which the yearning tenderness of the slow movement support.
The clarity of Fischer's performance in the finale brings lightness and sparkle.
In the Glazunov, too, it's the clarity and subtlety of Fischer's playing that marks out her reading. She finds the tenderness of the slow middle section of this one-movement work, and gives an easy swing to the bouncy rhythms of the final section. In the Prokofiev she takes a meditative view of the wistful melodies, the element, she says, that most attracts her, even if she does not quite reach the depths of Kyung-Wha Chung's version.
A unique coupling, superbly recorded, that could hardly be more recommendable.”
Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010

“...could hardly be more recommendable, with warmly compelling performances from the brilliant young German virtuoso, superbly recorded in full, bright, clear sound...The clarity and freshness of her performance are what immediately strike home” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition

Idyll for horn and string quartet

Christoph Eb (horn)


Zemlinsky Quartet

A homage to Glazunov who taught classical art to Russian composers of the 20th century and revealed chamber music to a community favouring choral and lyric art.

His cosmopolitan students, who numbered Stravinsky and Prokofiev amongst them, and his heirs from the interior including Miaskovsky, Shostakovich and Weinberg, were thus able to be major players in the contemporary world. His own works are now being rediscovered and appreciated for the perfection of their craftsmanship, like those of a Russian Mendelssohn singing in his genealogical tree.

“The Zemlinskys play them perfectly for that they are, welcoming their harmonic inevitabilities as positive rather than a let-down when the music has built up to a hiatus and taken - as it often does - a frustratingly anodyne turn. They add a dimension that could easily be lacking in other hands.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2012

This is a box with 10 SACDs to celebrate PentaTone's 10th anniversary. From each year of PentaTone's existence we have taken one SA-CD. Not necessarily the best sellers and award winners, but a fine selection presenting as much as possible all the artists PentaTone is/has been working with. As a bonus we have added a sampler SA-CD with tracks of other PentaTone albums (so the box includes 11 SA-CDs). On this sampler you will also find surround sound effects and test tones (which enable to adjust the position of the speakers of a HiFi set into the ideal position).
