Nadia and Lili Boulanger, by Caroline Potter

Nadia and Lili Boulanger, by Caroline Potter
Publisher: Ashgate | 2006 | ISBN: 0754604721 | PDF | 191 pages | 6.05 MB

This biography provides the first full analysis of the Boulanger sisters' musical styles, placing them within the context of French musical history. Their lives are also a case study in the issues of gender which surround music-making even to the present day. Despite an unusually privileged upbringing, Nadia and Lili Boulanger exemplify the struggle women experienced when attempting to enter the professional music world. Lili became the first woman to win the Prix de Rome in 1913, and Nadia gained second place in 1908. Yet in spite of this initial success, Nadia Boulanger was to give up composing in her thirties and devoted the remainder of her long life to teaching. Her pupils included several of the great composers of the century, including Aaron Copland and Elliott Carter. This book, focusing on their musical careers, is essential reading for anyone interested in French music of the twentieth century.

**BEETHOVEN SYMPHONIES 5 AND 4
"Here is the modern Beethoven recording par excellence..."
--Andrew Clark, London Financial Times, February 15, 2005

"My Beethoven CD of the year...a deft balance of tradition and 'period' inflexion..."
--Andrew Clark, London Financial Times, December 10, 2005

"The glorious explosion into the finale, the sense of triumph of light over dark, is as thrilling as anyone makes it."
--Stephen Pettitt, London Times, February 6, 2005

". . . the whole orchestra shines in majestic joy without appearing at all self-important. This is something that Mr. Vänskä excels at over and over here: creating a sense of impending event, then delivering even more than he promised... ."
--Anne Midgette, The New York Times, March 6,

"Yet another Beethoven cycle in the making? Yes, and it may be the definitive one of our time. Here is the first disc documenting the exciting work Mr. Vänskä is doing in Minnesota: the hook is less the latest surround technology than the exciting, involved playing."
--Anne Midgette, The New York Times, December 16, 2005, selecting it as one of the year's most notable CD's

"These are truly distinguished performances. On first evidence, this bold new contender in the Beethoven sweepstakes suggests that Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra can be ranked as highly as old favorites by Toscanini, Szell and Furtwängler, and certainly would be a good start for the beginning Beethoven collector."
--Michael Anthony, Star Tribune (Minneapolis), January 16, 2005

"Vänskä's Beethoven cycle begins triumphantly. It is quite an accomplishment to have music this familiar sound in a way that excites even a hardened record enthusiast."
--Jukka Isopuro, Helsingin Sanomat (Helsinki), January 2005

"Anyone wanting Beethoven symphonies in state-of-the-art sound should not hesitate."
--Misha Donat, BBC Music Magazine, March 2005, rating disk five out of five stars for performance and sound

"Fiery, elegant, bristling with character--this is impressive Beethoven....The Minnesota Orchestra are extraordinarily proficient: fleet-footed and articulate..."
--Richard Osborne, Gramophone Magazine, March 2005

"Vänskä's Beethoven is clean and transparent . . . these readings play up dynamic shadings and are rhythmically alert."
--Andrew Quint, Fanfare Magazine, March/April 2005

"These performances are as compelling as any, beautifully realized in every respect. Music lovers purchasing this remarkable disc will find ample cause for delight, and there's plenty that even the most jaded Beethoven collectors have never heard before, or heard so well."
--David Hurwitz, Classics [...]

"When I reviewed the Minnesota Orchestra's splendid retrospective set last year, I was impressed by how good the orchestra sounded in the more recent recordings. I'm pleased to report that it is still in fine estate and would put several of the "Big Five" to shame in head-to-head comparison."
--Lawrence Hansen, American Record Guide, May/June 2005

**BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY 9
Nominated for a Grammy Award
10/10 rating for artistic and sound quality
"...what Vanska achieves here is a Ninth built on a human scale, but one never lacking in depth of feeling....This probably is the finest Scherzo on disc."
--David Hurwitz, [...]

"From the very first bars of this new recording...we know we are in for an exceptional experience....this is a Beethoven Ninth for our times."
--Misha Donat, BBC Music Magazine, January 2007

"Vänskä, a notorious taskmaster, appears to have sent his players to rhythmic boot camp, getting them to knock out dotted figures with quasi-military snap. At the same time, he has total command of the emotional architecture of the work. This is some of the most vivid Beethoven playing on the market."
--Alex Ross, The New Yorker, November 20, 2006

"The orchestral playing is wonderfully detailed too."
--Andrew Clements, The Guardian, November 2006

"...this is the most powerful and exciting Ninth I have ever heard."
--John Sunier, Audiophile Audition, October 2006

"The Minnesota Chorale sings wonderfully, with spirit and superbly well-focused tone."
--Mike Anthony, Star Tribune (Minneapolis), October 2006

**BEETHOVEN SYMPHONIES 3 AND 8
"And, boy, does the Minnesota Orchestra impress as a world-class symphonic institution.... This Beethoven cycle is shaping up to be as good as any from an American orchestra since Bernstein."
--Andrew Quint, Fanfare Magazine, January/February 2007

"The second in Vanska's cycle of the symphonies is a revelation because it makes you listen to these masterpieces with fresh ears. The best since Carlos Kleiber 's Beethoven a generation ago with the Vienna Philharmonic....My record of the year."
--Andrew Clark, Financial Times, December 2006

"It's becoming clear, two discs into the Osmo Vänskä/Minnesota Orchestra cycle, that anyone going up against the Finn and his Minnesotans will suffer a distinct disadvantage....Vänskä's [Eroica] on BIS is stunning."
--James Reel, Fanfare, November/December 2006

**BEETHOVEN SYMPHONIES 2 AND 7
"Brilliantly engineered, utterly natural sonics in all formats provide the finishing touch on a Beethoven cycle that stands with Barenboim's as a modern reference edition, and that features a Seventh that just may top them all."
--David Hurwitz, [...]

Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn by Thomas Hampson (2010)

Free download. Descarga gratuita.
La presencia de Thomas Hampson cantando los Knaben Wunderhorn, por primera ocasion con orquesta, en un registro realizado especialmente para el centenario de Mahler.
Un disco absolutamente obligado para Mahleritas.

This recording is being released for the Mahler Year 2011, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the composer's death (May, 18 1911) and is Hampson's first ever studio recording of the orchestra version of Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Thomas Hampson now adds a special version ("im Kammermusikton") of Des Knaben Wunderhorn to his huge discography and videography with works by Gustav Mahler. Hampson is joined by The Wiener Virtuosen, a chamber ensemble of the highly acclaimed principal players of the Vienna Philharmonic. Long regarded as the premier interpreter of the songs of Gustav Mahler, Thomas Hampson will undertake more than 50 concerts featuring Mahler's songs in the season 2010/2011. Hampson is famously tied to his earlier Mahler recordings with Leonard Bernstein for Deutsche Grammophon.

Gustav Mahler: All the Symphonies, conducted by Vàclav Neuman (14 CD`s)

Free download.Descarga gratuita.
La caja de 14 discos que ahora compartimos, es una de las ediciones integrales de la obra de Gustav Mahler mas prestigiadas y, quizá por haber sido casi inaccesible durante años, ha adquirido un aura mítica.
Se trata de la edición realizada por Supraphon, la legendaria casa grabadora Checa, que nunca ha podido lograr una buena distribución de sus siempre magníficos registros.
La edición conducida por Vàclav Neuman, con la Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, solistas y coros, es una rara joya, que recientemente ha sido re-impresa para los melómanos asiáticos.
Recomendamos hacer la descarga sin demora, pues nuestros archivos están alojados en 4Shared, sitio que hace horas borro todos los links de la integral de Mahler conducida por Ozawa que estábamos compartiendo.

Mahler: Symphonies Nos. 1-10 (Limited Edition)-Lorin Maazel

Free download. Descarga gratuita. Hoy compartimos el Box set con las sinfonías de Gustav Mahler que mas nos gusta de todas las grabaciones existentes.
Se trata de la edición especial dirigida por Lorin Maazel y la Wiener Philharmoniker. No hay, en nuestra experiencia vivida algo superior a estos registros. Ni Abbado, con su perfección tierna y sensible, ni Boulez con su oido insuperable, ni Kubelik con su tono Checo que conmueve hasta los huesos. Nada supera estas ejecuciones. Solo pueden compararse con las de Bruno Walter, una al lado de la otra y eso que Walter es Mahler mismo.
