    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This

    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual. Pavel CHESNOKOV Teach Me Thy Statutes - PaTRAM Institute Male Choir/Vladimir Gorbik rec. 2016 REFERENCE RECORDINGS FR-727 SACD The most significant anniversary of 2018 was that of the centenary of the death of Claude Debussy, and while there were fine recordings of his music, none stood as deserving of this accolade as much as the choral works of Pavel Chesnokov.

    Oscar-Komponist James Horner I Samarbeid Med Norsk Stjernesøskenpar

    17-03-2015 15:15 CET Oscar-komponist James Horner i samarbeid med norsk stjernesøskenpar Den Oscar-vinnende kompinisten James Horner har blitt lokket vekk fra storskjermen og tilbake til konserthallen, takket være det norske stjernesøskenparet Mari og Håkon Samuelsen. Sammen har de overbevist Horner om å skrive hans første konsertstykke på over 30 år - en konsert for violin, cello og orkester kalt "Pas de Deux". Opptaket fra verdensremieren i Liverpool i November kommer på deres debutalbum som slippes på Mercury Classic 25. mai 2015. Horner er tidligere kjent for stykker som Titanic, Braveheart og Avatar, og dette er det første verket komponisten har skrevet for fiolin og cello, samt det første bestillingsverket i rekken fra Mari Silje og Håkon Samuelsen. I sommer inngikk stjernesøskenparet Mari Silje og Håkon Samuelsen en langsiktig eksklusiv albumavtale med Mercury Classics. I november 2014 fremførte de for første gang Horner-verket "Pas de Deux" i Philharmonic Hall i Liverpool. Verket ble fremført med Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra og dirigent Vasily Petrenko på orkesterets 175-års jubileum og åpningskonsert i deres nyrenoverte konserthus. Produsent for albumet er Simon Rhodes (kjent fra Skyfall, Harry Potter og Avatar samt Grammy- vinnenende album med Berlin Philharmonikerne). "Vi hadde aldri trodd vi skulle få til dette. Det føles fantastisk," sier fiolinist Mari Samuelsen. "Det er en drøm som har blitt virkelighet," samtykker hennes cellistbror Håkon. Søskenparet har opptrådt mye hver for seg, og siden de var i tidlig tyveårene har de jobbet som en duo. I 2004 grunnla de den årlige julekonserten i Vang kirke med Prinsesse Märtha Louise som nå er sendt i over 116 millioner hjem verden over.
