Odense Symphony Orchestra

  • 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 […]

  • 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. […]

  • Rune Most Delivers Engaging Performances of Mozart Flute Music

    Mar 4th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Benjamin Shwartz, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Rune Most, Scott Yoo, Sivan Nagem, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    A quick check on Arkivmusic.com revealed over 80 releases of Mozart’s flute concertos in print. So why should anyone pay attention to this release? Simple — the quality of the performances. Rune Most offer fresh insights into these well-known works. Most plays a modern wooden flute. Its smooth, mellow sound is close to what Mozart […]

  • Poul Ruders’ Fiery Fifth Symphony

    May 1st, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Olari Elis, Orchestral music, Poul Ruders

    In one sense, this release of Poul Ruder’s Fifth Symphony isn’t much of a bargain. The entire album clocks in at 26:30, far below the average of 72 minutes for a classical release. But folks who shop by cost per second of playing time aren’t the audience for this music, anyway. Rather, this release is […]

  • Lieverson viola concerto piano concerto 3

    Peter Lieberson Concertos

    Oct 27th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, Concerto, contemporary classical music, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Peter Lieberson, Roberto Diaz, Scott Yoo, Stephen Beck

    Peter Lieberson: Piano Concerto No. 3; Viola Concerto Steven Beck, piano; Roberto Diaz, viola Odense Symphony Orchestra; Scott Yoo, conductor Peter Lieberson admitted that, as a student, he could spend the day studying the twelve-tone music of Stravinsky, then go home and enjoy a Barber concerto. He thought it important to balance asceticism with sensuality. […]

    Mozart Series Continues with Marianna Shirinyan

    Sep 4th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, Marianna Shirinyan, Odense Symphony Orchestra, piano concerto, Scott Yoo, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Although this is the fourth volume of Bridge Records’ survey of the Mozart piano concertos, it’s actually the first to feature pianist Mariann Shirinyan. She replaces the previous soloist (who has since left the label) to continue the series with Scott Yoo and the Odense Symphony Orchestra. Not to worry, though. Shirinyan is more than […]

  • Yang Tchaikovsky

    Joyce Yang: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1

    Mar 25th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Alexander Lavarev, Bridge Records, Joyce Yang, Odense Symphony Orchestra, orchestral, piano concerto, Tchaikovsky

    It seems every pianist has to record the Tchaikovsky 1st, and Joyce Yang’s no exception. So how does her interpretation stack up against the others? In this live recording, Yang seems to approach the work from a fresh perspective, presenting the music on her own terms. Yang avoids the temptation of bombastic drama. She can play […]
