Mozart Piano Trios UNITEL and CLASSICA present ANNE-SOPHIE MUTTER MOZART PIANO TRIOS André Previn · Daniel Müller-Schott When Anne-Sophie Mutter says that Mozart wrote his trios for violin, violoncello and piano for his own enjoyment, then ANNE-SOPHIE MUTTER this is not merely a conclusion derived from the artist‘s own pleasure in playing these works with talented colleagues. MOZART PIANO TRIOS Mozart himself, in a letter of June 1788 to his friend Michael Puchberg, added this postscript: “When are we to have a André Previn · Daniel Müller-Schott little musical party at your house again? I have composed a new trio!“ He was referring to the Piano Trio in E major K. 542. Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart All three trios on this recording are not only late works, but were also published together in 1788, lending weight to the Soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter (Violin) claim that they are the three finest and most exemplary works Sir André Previn (Piano) in this genre by Mozart. In the earliest of the three, K. 502, Daniel Müller-Schott (Violoncello) Mozart broke through the traditional predominance of the Video Director Christian Kurt Weiß piano to give equal weight to the strings, whereby the violin is given ample opportunity to display the soloist‘s bravura. Piano Trio in C, K. 548 (25') The Trios K. 542 and 548 were both written in the astonishingly Piano Trio in E, K. 542 (25') fruitful summer of 1788, during which Mozart wrote the Piano Trio in B flat, K. 502 (25') great trilogy of his last symphonies. They show Mozart at the very height of his powers. Proof that Mozart thought highly Total length 75' of K. 542 emerges in the fact that he played it at the court With kind support of Mantua Municipality of Dresden in 1789 when he was seeking an appointment and Teatro Bibiena there. Finally, K. 548 in C major is a more restrained work that concentrates on motivic development and, in its slow A BFMI production for Unitel movement, foreshadows the chamber music of the early 19th in co-production with ZDF and ZDF/ARTE century. shot in HDTV 1080 Joining Anne-Sophie Mutter on this recording is the Cat. no.

  • Thomas, Augusta Read Dancing Helix Rituals
    Dancing Helix Rituals (2006) Augusta Read Thomas “Somewhat of a cross between ‘Jazz’ (Monk, Coltrain, Tatum, Miles, etc.) and ‘Classical’ (Bartok, Stravinsky, Varèse, Berio, Boulez, etc.), Dancing Helix Rituals can be heard as a lively dance made up of a series of outGrowths and variations which are orGanic and, at every level, concerned with transformations and connections. Each player serves as a protagonist as well as a fulcrum point on and around which all others’ musical force fields rotate, bloom, and proliferate. There is refined loGic to every nuance which stems from the sound, in context, on its own terms and the form is that of an eiGht-minute crescendo. AlthouGh Dancing Helix Rituals stands fully on its own as art music, it can be performed along with dancers. The early Stravinsky ballets are works I hold in Great reverence, have studied, love, and embrace as models in my inner ear. As a result, I tend to hear and feel all of my music, in particular my orchestral works, as music suitable for dance. As I compose, I sinG, dance, move, and conduct at my draftinG table. The process is visceral. My ears and mind are both analytical as well as intuitive and I ‘feel’ and ‘hear’ every note and rhythm and color clearly. (I hope you can sense that precision.) This is music composed with the whole ear and whole body, not a cerebral, overly analytical exercise in pushinG twelve-tone rows–or spectra–or rearranGed quotes of borrowed ethnic phrases around a computer screen, for instance! The sounds are varied, colorful, crosscut, unexpected, and yet hopefully sound inevitable in the way that a jazz improvisation sounds spontaneous and unpreventable.

  • Joseph Kuipers Is One of the Rare Musical Voices of Today: the Fresh Sincerity of His Playing, Combined with Technical Sovereignty Over the Instrument
    “Joseph Kuipers is one of the rare musical voices of today: the fresh sincerity of his playing, combined with technical sovereignty over the instrument. He draws a dark, singing sound out of his Ceruti Cello, and creates lines that seem to float effortlessly.” Berliner Abend Post American cellist Joseph Kuipers is renowned for his creativity and versatility in his captivating performances on both modern and gut strings. Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making. In 2010 Joseph founded the Marinus Project an international collective of chamber musicians dedicated to the tradition of classical music in our time. Marinus is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University. In April 2011 the Marinus Ensemble received a $200,000 unrestricted artist development grant to further the Marinus Project. Joseph completed his undergraduate studies at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where his primary teachers were Paul Katz for cello and Pozzi Escot for composition.

  • Bernard Rands Cello Concerto No. 1
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Bernard Rands Born March 2, 1934, Sheffield, England. Currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts, and Chicago, Illinois. Cello Concerto No. 1 Rands composed this cello concerto in 1996, on a commission from the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the seventieth birthday of Mstislav Rostropovich, to whom it is dedicated. The first performances were given by Rostropovich and the Boston Symphony, with Seiji Ozawa conducting, on April 3, 4, and 5, 1997, at Symphony Hall in Boston. The orchestra consists of three flutes, two alto flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, two harps, piano, timpani, percussion (vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, tubular bells, bongos, triangle, medium and large tam-tams, bass drum, almglocken), and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-seven minutes. Concertos are often written for a particular performer. Sometimes that player is the composer himself, writing for his own instrument—Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Brahms, Bartók, and Stravinsky, for example, all composed piano concertos which they introduced themselves. Many concertos were written for virtuoso soloists—Brahms’s Violin Concerto was composed for Joseph Joachim and Elgar’s for Fritz Kreisler; Copland’s Clarinet Concerto was designed with Benny Goodman in mind; Ravel’s Left-Hand Piano Concerto was written on a commission from Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War I. Like Britten’s Symphony for Cello and Orchestra and Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto, this cello concerto by Bernard Rands was composed for Mstislav Rostropovich, one of the most formidable performers of our time.
