With this stunning (and Jordi's first) recording of Jean-Fery Rebel’s Les Elements, Savall displays his unmatched vision of the baroque orchestral repertoire, proving that authenticity and timbral beauty aren’t mutually exclusive. New recordings of works by Locke, Vivaldi, Marais, Telemann and Rameau - a splendidly varied and expressively wide-ranging selection - is a welcome addition to the existing landmark recordings made by Savall in this repertoire. Pellucid engineering complements the live performances perfectly, offering warmth without excessive resonance, and letting the players shine.

Welser-Möst offers a “lean, propulsive performance” (The Plains Dealer) of the Fourth Symphony. The swift The Cleveland Orchestra pace in his hands reflects the conductor’s quest for a distinctive, far-from-mainstream interpretation. Conductor: Franz Welser-Möst Brahms’ rousing Academic Festival Overture and Violin Concerto op. 77 bear witness to a composer at the height of his Yefim Bronfman [piano] abilities, a mature master of large-scale masterpieces.

  • Furtwängler Broadcasts/Recordings
    Furtwängler Broadcasts & Broadcast Recordings 1927-1954 1st version: February 20, 2002 Latest revision: July 5, 2019 This list of Furtwängler broadcasts/broadcast recordings is based on various private and official lists in my possession. Most of the lists were given to me by Frau Elisabeth Furtwängler during visits in Clarens in the 1970s. I have not tried to verify stations missing from the lists. I have given RRG (Reichsrundfunk Gesellschaft) as source for many WWII broadcasts, which were transmitted from Berlin, Vienna, Bayreuth, or Prague. Many of the dates of these broadcasts stem from an Italian list (from Bologna), written in perfect German! Broadcasts of commercial recordings (78 rpms and LPs) are not included. In November/December 2003, I was asked by Angelo Scottini, Piacenza, Italy, to include his list of Italian broadcasts. January 1, 2004, René Trémine gave permission to include all broadcasts mentioned in his Furtwängler concert listing 1906-1954. April 21, 2008, Norbert Kleekamp forwarded information on the Meistersinger broadcasts from Bayreuth August 1943. February 1, 2010, I included the recorded broadcasts in my discography up to 1945. November 2012, René Trémine sent me a list of amendments, added on January 10, 2013. February 18, 2018, I added broadcasts from the Danish Radio (DR), from the BBC, and from the RRG. March 9, 2018, a few amendments by Stéphane Topakian were added. A few corrections were added on March 25, 2018. March 27, 2018 some broadcasts from the Swedish Radio (SR) were added. Broadcasts up to the end of 1947 from the Austrian database ANNO were added July 1, 2018.

  • The Twenty-Four Caprices of Niccolo Paganini
    CHAPTER I NICCOLO PAGANINI Op.1 TWENTY-FOUR CAPRICES FOR VIOLIN SOLO· Dedicated to the Artists "These perennial companions to the violinist, together with the 6 Sonatas and Partitas of 1.5. Bach, form the foundation of the violinist's manual, both Old and New Testament", Yehudi Menuhin writes in his preface to the facsimile edition of the manuscript of Paganini's 24 Caprices. 1 This "New Testament of the Violinist" was first published in 1820, creating a sensation in musical circles. With the Caprices, Paganini's contribution to the repertoire can now be seen as one of unchallengeable importance, both violinistically and musically. The Caprices stimulated creative exploration in violin playing by extending the limits of the instrument and encouraged the elaboration of new pedagogical approaches. They still exert their influence on the instruction of violinists of all countries. There is no conservatorium student who has not become acquainted, at least didactically, with this fundamental work (even when dully defined as "required repertoire"). In Poland and some other countries, the Caprices have made their appearance in the syllabus of secondary schools and are increasingly often played by violin students under fourteen years of age.2 1Facsimile of the autograph manuscript of Paganini's 24 Caprices, ed. by Federico Mompellio, Milano, Ricordi, 1974,p.5. 2See Tadeusz Wronski's preface to his edition of the 24 Caprices, Krak6w: Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, 1977,p.3. I Thanks to many recent performances and recordings, the listener too has become familiar with the Caprices, enjoying these products of a remarkable period in the evolution of Italian music above all for their musical content.
