Sibelius:

Kom nu hit, Död, Op. 60 No. 1 (Bertel Gripenberg after Shakespeare)


Marianne Beate Kielland (mezzo-soprano) & Sergej Osadchuk (piano)

Death is almost as natural an ingredient in our lives as love, but whereas love is something bright and beautiful, life-giving, death is dark and irreversible. A beautifully crafted CD, centred around Shakespeare’s poem Come, Away, Death, taken from Twelfth Night. The sublime performance of Marianne Beate Kielland, takes the listener on a journey through this dark subject but brings them through it, enlightened and glad to be alive!

“Kielland sings with plaintive, strongly appealing tone throughout the disc. She is equally at home in Mussorgsky and Ratkje. Her voice perfectly adopts Death's terrifying charm...As the dedicatee of HVIL, she has the measure of its spectral whisperings...Osadchuk is at all times a sympathetic partner and an expressive equal in the Ratkje.” Classic FM Magazine, February 2011 ****

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition

instr Maurice Ravel 1922


Recorded Live Concertgebouw Amsterdam on 22, 23 May & 29 Aug 2008.

A special-priced release on RCO Live of Mussorgsky's much-loved Pictures at an exhibition in Ravel's orchestration. Recorded live at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Mariss Jansons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, on magnificent form, produce a wonderful palette of colours and sonority in this dazzling orchestral piece.

“There's plenty of character, and deft woodwind adept as fast-moving Parisian kids and squabbling chicks.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2010 ***

“Whereas some interpretations tend to coarsen the edges of Ravel’s instrumental sonorities in a bid to make them sound more “Russian”, Jansons treats the music with the finesse that was one of Ravel’s hallmarks.” The Telegraph, 20th January 2010 ****
