London Symphony Orchestra, Gianandrea Noseda, Roman Simovic & David Cohen

London Symphony Orchestra, Gianandrea Noseda, Roman Simovic & David Cohen

Italian conductor Gianandrea Noseda leads the combined forces of the Music Academy KestonMAX fellows and London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in Ludwig van Beethoven's Triple Concerto in C major, Op. 56, and Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14. Beethoven's Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C major, commonly known as the Triple Concerto, was composed from 1803 to 1804. The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio, and it is the only concerto Beethoven ever completed for more than one solo instrument. Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique (‘Episode in the Life of an Artist … in Five Sections') is a programmatic symphony written in 1830, telling the story of a gifted artist who, in the depths of hopelessness and despair because of his unrequited love for a woman, has poisoned himself with opium. This concert was recorded at LSO St. Luke's in London, UK, on November 20, 2022.

Les Dissonances & David Grimal

Les Dissonances & David Grimal

Les Dissonances is a collective of artists founded by violinist David Grimal in 2004. The conductorless ensemble consists of musicians from the most prestigious European orchestras, international soloists, and young talents. In this performance, Les Dissonances present Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73. Whereas it took the composer over a decade to complete his first symphony, he penned his Symphony No. 2 in just a few months, during his summer sojourn in the restful Austrian village of Pörtschach in 1877. Nicknamed his ‘Pastoral' symphony, the work is arguably the most sunny and optimistic of Brahms's four symphonies. Lyrical in character, it features joyful melodies. This performance was recorded at Philharmonie de Paris, France, in 2015.

The Philharmonics

The Philharmonics

Chamber music ensemble The Philharmonics pays tribute to the music of Vienna in this March 9, 2011 concert from Vienna's Café Sperl. The ensemble, which consists of musicians from the Vienna Philharmonic and the Berlin Philharmonic, performs arrangements of five popular waltzes by Johann Straus II. Among them are Kaiser-Walzer, Op. 437, and Schatz-Walzer, Op. 418, from the operetta The Gypsy Baron. In May 1921, the likes of Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern wrote these chamber music arrangements to raise funds for their Society for Private Musical Performances. Although both the concert and the auction of the scores were very successful, the Society eventually went under. In addition to these pieces by Strauss, The Philharmonics perform works by Fritz Kreisler, Leopold Godowsky, as well as The Philharmonics's first violinist, Tibor Kováč. The program comes to an end with Godowsky's tribute to the city: Alt Wien.

Raphael Pichon, Ensemble Pygmalion, Sabine Devieilhe & Arnaud de Pasquale

On March 23, 1783, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart gave a successful concert at Vienna's Burgtheater that he dedicated to two sopranos: Aloysia and Josepha Weber, the sisters of his wife Constanze. The concert's program would be considered odd by today's standards. The composer's Symphony No. 35 was broken up and interspersed with other compositions, such as concertos, arias, and works for solo piano. Nearly two and a half centuries later, French soprano Sabine Devieilhe, conductor Raphaël Pichon and his Ensemble Pygmalion bring a wonderful concert inspired by that remarkable event. The program includes: ‘Allegro con spirito' of Symphony No. 35, also known as the Haffner Symphony ‘Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio', KV 418 ‘Schon lacht der holde Frühling', KV 580 Trio of ‘Die Schlittenfahrt' No. 3, KV 605 Deutscher Tanz No. 6, KV 571 ‘Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen' from Mozart's opera Die Zauberflöte ‘Finale: Presto' of Symphony No. 35 ‘Nehmt meinen Dank', KV 383 and ‘Dans un bois solitaire et sombre', KV 308. This performance was recorded at Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne, in Compiègne, France.

‘A Descent into the Maelström' (1841) is American writer Edgar Allan Poe's short story of two fishermen caught in torrents raging between the mountainous islands of Lofoten, inside the Arctic Circle of northern Norway. After a treacherous whirlpool drags their boat down, only one of them survives. American composer Philipp Glass based his choral work for the Australian Dance Theatre on this story. The piece was performed at the Adelaide Festival of Arts in 1986. Beacon Isle Films recorded an arrangement of Glass's work for symphony orchestra, performed by the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir conducted by Tim Weiss. Soprano Berit Norbakken Solset is the soloist. The Artic Philharmonic Orchestra is the world's youngest and northernmost professional orchestral institution, presenting circa 150 performances and concerts each year. This 2019 recording was made against the backdrop of Lofoten's spectacular landscape: the very surroundings that inspired Poe's story.

He conducts the Orchestre and Choeurs de l'Opéra national de Paris and four vocal soloists Ricarda Merbeth (soprano), Daniela Sindram (mezzosoprano), Robert Dean Smith (tenor), and Günther Groissböck (bass). Beethoven composed his last Symphony when his hearing had all but gone, between 1822 and 1824. Symphony No. 9 is the longest and most ambitious of Beethoven's symphonies. Most striking is the piece's finale movement, which includes a choir and four vocal soloists singing a setting of Friedrich Schiller's poem ‘An die Freude' (Ode to Joy). This performance was recorded at Opéra Bastille in Paris, France, in 2015.
