Capriccio
Bruckner: Symphony No 3 (Capriccio)
Three strikes and for me Herr Poschner is out … [RMo]
Ullmann: Symphonies 1 & 2, Lieder (Capriccio)
A great recording that can also function as a strong introduction to the works of Viktor Ullmann [VM]
Bruckner: Symphony No. 1 (Capriccio)
This brisk, nervy account pales in comparison with Schaller’s steadier, grander recording [RMo]
Kabeláč: Complete Chamber Music (Capriccio)
An important set from a composer who had much to say, and said it without any compromise [HC]
Bruckner: Symphony 7 (Capriccio)
A patchy account, hobbled by a particularly egregious bit of tinkering with the codas of the first movement and the finale [RMo]
Schmidt: The Piano Album (Capriccio)
Sure to make new friends for Schmidt’s music [WK]
Bruckner: Symphony 3 (Capriccio)
Poschner once more subjects Bruckner’s Third Symphony to unreasonable and unaesthetic haste [RMo]
Bruckner: Symphony 2 (Capriccio)
A crisp, rhythmically alert account, making a wholly persuasive case for the original version of Bruckner’s Second Symphony [RMo]
Labor: Piano Concertos for the left hand (Capriccio)
Three conservative concertante works for the left hand in exemplary performances [NB]
Rózsa: Overture to a Symphony Concert, Hungarian Serenade, Tripartita (Capriccio)
If you like this programme, you will like these performances [EJW]
Tcherepnin: Three generations of Chamber Works (Capriccio)
Nikolai’s quartet and Alexander’s piano quintet are the stand-out works here [SB]
Henze: The Raft of the Medusa (Capriccio)
An impressive account of this once notorious work [SB]
Bruckner: Symphony No. 1 (Capriccio)
A tight, driven account of Bruckner’s First Symphony which is a success even if I still prefer Schaller’s version [RMo]
Bruckner: Symphony No 5 (Capriccio)
A beautifully played recording of the Fifth Symphony for those who like their Bruckner a little leaner and faster with variations of tempi strongly contrasted [RMo]
Reger: Requiem; Mahler: Orchestral songs (Capriccio)
A movingly immersive experience [MP]
Vivaldi, D Scarlatti, Caldara: Cantatas (Capriccio)
A release well worth revisiting a decade later [SG]
Prokofiev: Eugene Onegin – Incidental music (Capriccio)
(Déjà Review) A superbly executed realisation of Prokofiev’s Onegin incidental music [JL]
Noskowski: Symphonies Nos 1 & 2 (Capriccio)
Symphonies by a little-known Romantic Polish composer, played with understanding and immediacy [GH]
Bruckner: Symphony No.2 (Capriccio)
Beautifully balanced between thrilling tension and lyricism despite – or because of? – the pervasively propulsive speeds [RMo]
Müller: Chamber Works (Capriccio)
(Déjà Review) My first meeting with Müller and I hope it won’t be my last … music which is animated, warm and intriguing [JW]
Weill: Propheten, Four Walt Whitman Songs (Capriccio)
This legendary work turns out to be more a curiosity than a masterpiece [SB]
Noskowski: Symphonies 1 & 2 (Capriccio)
Two late-19th century symphonies, agreeable if not compelling, little known, little heard [RB]
Vladigerov: Stage music (Capriccio)
Two well-filled CD’s filled with attractive 20th Century orchestral and vocal music from a composer unjustly neglected in the West [EJW]
Weill: Propheten (Capriccio)
An interesting world premiere and a masterly reading of the Whitman songs [GF]
