A curious CD, for the silly season. Founded a few years ago on the initiative of five musicians rather bored by the usual daily routine, this ensemble resolved to fight against the irresistible torpor which rules over concert halls. Right from the first concerts (if we exclude the volley of stones of March 2004 and the hail of vegetables and over-ripe fruit on the occasion of a concert in Borgnasco in June last year), audiences have shown their appreciation for the performances of the five shady characters.The choice of programme, which ranges from New Age to refined classical, incursions into Afro Tribal Jazz and cerebral Neuro Swing, ensures a programmatic variety that can only satisfy all palates, from the refined to the boorish, in a mystical universal communion which makes every concert a miracle of ecumenical cosmopolitan harmony. Don’t be put off: this disc is tremendous fun and the Quintet play their socks off. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Elisabeth Söderström
“It's always worth remembering that Richard Strauss thought of his Four Last Songs as an exultant celebration of life rather than as a melancholy valediction. Elisabeth Söderström is entirely faithful to this vision. The overriding impression of this life Festival Hall performance from 1976 is of her enraptured sense of engagement with both the music and her audience. The real wonders of this disc are to be found in Söderström's Mozart... As Figaro's Countess, she brings the dignity and grief of a truly great heart to 'Porgi amor', and the range of emotions she expresses in the distraught recitative to 'Dove sono' is thrilling indeed.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2004 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
