  • Telemann Moral Cantatas uplift — at least musically

    Oct 14th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Benno Schachtner, CD Review, Classical music, early music, Georg Philipp Telemann, Hamburger Ratsmuick, Simone Eckert, vocal music

    This release combines selections from two self-published works by Georg Philipp Telemann. VI moralische Cantaten and 12 Fantaisies pour la basse de violle sold by subscription in 1735. Alternating between the two collections makes an appealing program. The Six Moral Cantatas are just that — music with a message. And whether the subject is luck, parsimony, time, or hope, the message […]

  • Max Kowalski Lieder – Unusual music, unusual presentation

    Sep 2nd, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, contemporary classical music, Max Kowalski, Thérèse Lindquist, vocal music, Wolfgang Holzmair

    I was not familiar with the music of Max Kowalski before listening to this new release. Kowalski was a mainly self-taught singer and composer (primarily of lieder), though professionally he was a lawyer. He survived Buchenwald, and died in London in 1956, a well-respected singing teacher and composer. Kowalski’s output is almost exclusively lieder, and […]

  • Louis Karchin – To the Sun and Stars

    Dec 22nd, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, contemporary classical music, Da Capo Chamber Players, Ekmeles, Eric Sedgwick, Louis Karchin, Mary Mackenzie, Orchestra of the League of Composers, Sharon Harms, Thomas Megioranza, vocal music

    I had to listen to this collection of Louis Karchin’s vocal music several times before I really felt I understand what was going on and could then evaluate it fairly. That’s a shortcoming on my part, but I will say that the exercise was not without reward. For the most part, Karchin sets his texts […]

    Alessandro Stradella: Composer and Cad

    Sep 2nd, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Alessandro Stradella, Baroque music, CD Review, Complesso Barocco Di Milano, Newton, vocal music

    Few composers had as colorful history as Alessandro Stradella. He took part in a scheme to embezzle money from the Catholic Church and had to flee Rome. He was an inveterate womanizer, causing not one but two families to take out a contract on him (as he hastily left town). The first group of assassins […]

  • Hugo Wolf Spanisches Liederbuch Italianisches Liederbuch Bridge

    New Hugo Wolf lieder collection yields insights

    Feb 24th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Birgid Steinberger, Bridge Records, CD Review, Hugo Wolf, Michaele Selinger, Romantic period, Russell Ryan, vocal music, Wolfgang Holzmair

    Most of Hugo Wolf’s slender catalog of works is lieder, and the bulk of his reputation as a composer rests with two massive collections: the Spanisches Liderbuch (Spanish Songbook), and the Italianisches Liederbuch (Italian Songbook). This new 3-CD set from Bridge presents both of these massive works with texts in both German and English. Both […]
