Anne-Marie McDermott

  • Anne-Marie McDermott brings new insights to Mozart concertos

    Mar 21st, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    For volume four, Anne-Marie McDermott presents two contrasting Mozart piano concertos. And the contrast goes beyond just the concertos. The supplied cadenzas also represent two very different interpretations of Mozart’s music. The Piano Concerto No. 25 in C major, K. 503 is one of Mozart’s longest concertos. And many consider it one of his greatest. […]

  • Anne-Marie McDermott continues superb Mozart series

    Nov 16th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Anne-Marie McDermott has a very distinctive playing style, especially with Mozart. It’s delicate without being dainty. It’s expressive while neither being too emotive nor overly reserved. McDermott’s playing embodies what I like to think Mozart’s intentions were. But it’s playing that goes deeper than the notes. McDermott’s own personality makes these oh-so-familiar works sound fresh […]

  • Poul Ruders avoids categorizations in Volume 15

    Nov 23rd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andreas Delfs, Anne-Marie McDermott, Benjamin Schwartz, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, contemporary classical music, Odensesymponieorkester, Poul Ruders, Quattro Mani

    What I like best about Poul Ruders is that he’s his own man. Ruders picks and chooses from all the various contemporary compositional trends. He mixes and matches them, all in service of the idea he wants to express. And Ruders makes it all sound not only cohesive but logical — as if it simply […]

  • Anne-Marie McDermott performs Mozart with exuberance and precision

    Mar 16th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andress Delfs, Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Gilbert Varga, Kenneth Montgomery, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Volume two of Anne-Marie McDermott’s Mozart series builds on the success of volume one. McDermott’s playing is as beautiful as ever. There’s apparent chemistry between her and the Odense Symphony Orchestra. Though each of the three concertos on this release has a different conductor, there’s a remarkable consistency in the interpretations. Piano Concerto No. 15 […]

  • Anne-Marie McDermott launches Mozart series

    Nov 28th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Scott Yoo, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Anne-Marie McDermott’s new Mozart series starts off with two showcase concertos. The Piano Concerto in C major, K. 415 was one of three Mozart wrote in 1783 to spotlight his talent as a composer and performer. The Piano Concerto in B-flat major, K. 238 was featured in Mozart’s 1777 European tour with his sister Nannerl. […]

  • McDermott Delivers Intimate Performances of Haydn Sonatas

    Feb 4th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Classical piano, Franz Joseph Haydn

    This release is a follow-up to McDermott’s 2014 release of Haydn Piano Concertos and Sonatas. This time, Anne-Marie McDermott presents an entire program of solo sonatas. Haydn’s sonatas have a deceptive simplicity to them. The technical demands are modest (compared to sonatas by Beethoven and later composers). But that doesn’t mean they’re insubstantial. McDermott performs […]
