MYTHOS: Bjarke Mogensen and Rasmus Schjærff Kjøller This stunning new transcription by MYTHOS of Stravinsky’s Petrushka has to be heard to be believed – marvel at the amazing sounds that emanate from these two accordions! MYTHOS are performing these works regularly in concerts and the Duo has recently made its Carnegie Hall debut in the USA. Russian masterworks transcribed and performed by the award-winning Danish bayan duo MYTHOS, winner of First Prize in the Danish Radio Chamber Music Competition 2011 and First Prize in the Almere International Chamber Music Competition. “A few seconds’ exposure to Mythos’s version of Stravinsky’s Petrushka will have most listeners grinning from ear to ear. The rhythmic punch, supernatural coordination and dynamic control on display are startling enough, but it’s the rasping, transfiguring effect of the bayan sound that’s key. This score sounds as if it could have been written for these players; both orchestral versions sound pale in comparison...The composer would have loved it.” The Arts Desk, 20th April 2013 “I hope [Stravinsky] would be as stunned as I was: [Petrushka] sounds suitably orchestral in the hands of Bjarke Mogensen and Rasmus Schjærff Kjøller, and yet they also shed new light on it...A superb Russian programme, then, dazzlingly recorded and well annotated in the booklet notes. Awards should follow.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2013 *****  BBC Music Magazine

It’s hard to believe that Martha Argerich is now approaching her 70th birthday – on 5 June this year. She has been recording for Deutsche Grammophon for 50 years, and has made some of the greatest recordings on the label, now fully documented on The Martha Argerich Collection capboxes (Solo Recordings, Concerto Recording, Chamber Ensemble Recordings). Three generously filled CDs (nearly 240 minutes of music) portray the incredible virtuosity, style and range of this incomparable artist. We follow her solo and concerto career that is gradually subsumed in recordings with musical partners like Nelson Freire, Stephen Kovacevich, Mischa Maisky and Gidon Kremer – Argerich’s five decades of recording with DG and Philips (Decca) are surveyed in a magnificent chronological sweep. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
