Gubaidulina: Works for bassoon



Free download. Descarga gratuita.

Gubaidulina - Works for Bassoon (Valeri Popov) (1999) FLAC + CUE + LOG | TT 56:23 | Pdf booklet | 194 mb | 4Shared Recorded 1991-95-98 | Released 2010


Among the many talented performers Sofia Gubaidulina worked with in the 1970s was the bassoonist Valery Popov. A virtuoso who had mastered contemporary techniques of microtonal playing, producing more than one pitch at a time, and so forth, Popov inspired Gubaidulina to turn toward the bassoon, and two large works of this decade were written for him. On this Chandos disc we are fortunate to have Popov performing on the instrument. He is accompanied by pianist Alexander Bakhchiyev and violist Natasha Gigashvili on one chamber piece, fellow bassoonist Mikhail Bochkov on the other, and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pyotr Meshchaninov on the concerto.

T. S. Eliot: The Annotated Waste Land



T. S. Eliot: The Annotated Waste Land with Eliot's Contemporary Prose, Edited by Lawrence Rainey.
Publisher: Yale University Press 2006 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0300119941 | PDF | 3 MB

Eliot's own notes to his masterpiece were described by Eliot himself, as Rainey here relates, as padding that took on a life of its own as the controversies surrounding the poem took off in the '20s. That's just one of the tidbits in this terrific edition of a modernist work that retains its power to shock, as well as a high degree of allusive difficulty. Rainey's essay and notes describe the poem's genesis and printing history, and carefully-without damaging the poem's many ambiguities-elucidates most if not all of its textual knots. The setting of the poem itself follows that of Eliot's preferred edition. One still misses the now out-of-print manuscript version of the poem (complete with Pound's interventions), but for the student or for anyone who wants to get the maximum amount of information out of a foundational modernist work, this is the best available edition

Schnittke: Discoveries (2011)


Five unknown works.

This CD presents a series of five works from across Alfred Schnittke’s career – all of them unknown to the wider listening public but nonetheless giving a conspectus of the evolution of his style. Some of the recordings from which this programme has been built were unreleased, others made specially for this CD. Most of the works were performed and recorded from photocopies of the manuscripts held in Schnittke’s family archive in Moscow and in Hamburg and at the Alfred Schnittke Archive in Goldsmiths, University of London.

Cinco trabajos desconocidos para el publico no especializado, que han sido descubiertos en los archivos de Alfred Schnittke y que se presentan en este CD por primera ocasión.

This CD from Toccata is a selection of five works that stretch across Schnittke's career … from the early 1950s to a year before his death. Significantly, none is currently otherwise available in the catalogue. All of them deserve to be better known; all are likely to be welcomed by devotees of Schnittke and those new to his distinctive sound and musical worlds. What's more the standard of performance on this generous CD is uniformly high - despite the fact that each work has a different set or sub-set of musicians. Mark Sealey -Music Web International

Six Preludes for Piano (1953-54) [18:25] *

Music and Monumentality, By Alexander Rehding (PDF)


Music and Monumentality: Commemoration and Wonderment in 19th Century Germany,

By Alexander Rehding
Publisher: Oxford University Press 2009 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0195385381 | PDF | 5 MB

A few weeks after the reunification of Germany, Leonard Bernstein raised his baton above the ruins of the Berlin Wall and conducted a special arrangement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The central statement of the work, that "all men will be brothers," captured the sentiment of those who saw a brighter future for the newly reunited nation. This now-iconic performance is a palpable example of "musical monumentality" - a significant concept which underlies our cultural and ideological understanding of Western art music since the nineteenth-century. Although the concept was first raised in the earliest years of musicological study in the 1930s, a satisfying exploration of the "monumental" in music has not yet been made. Alexander Rehding, one of the brightest young stars in the field, takes on the task in Resounding Monumentality, an elegant, thorough treatment that will serve as a foundation for all future discussion in this area.
Rehding sets his focus on the main players of the period within the Austro-German repertoire -Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler- as he unpacks a two-fold definition of "musical monumentality." In the conventional sense, monumentality is a stylistic property often described as 'grand,' 'uplifting,' and 'sublime' and rife with overpowering brass chorales, sparkling string tremolos, triumphant fanfares, and glorious thematic returns. Yet Rehding sees the monumental in music performing a cultural task as well: it is employed in the service of establishing national identity. Through a clear theoretical lens, Rehding examines how grand sound effects are strategically employed with the view to overwhelming audiences, how supposedly immutable musical halls of fame change over time, how challenging musical works are domesticated, how the highest cultural achievements are presented in immediately consumable form-in a word, how German music emerges as a unified cultural and musical brand.
