| [#6419] Mozart's Piano Quartets Hello Eric, I am, however, more familiar with Mozart's first rather than his second Piano Quartet, mainly because I have a version with Richter, and another one with Britten, on the piano. There is some enchanting dark drama in No. 1; but I can see why you are charmed by its companion the E flat Quartet, for probably, like me, you find the dialogue between the piano and strings in the Larghetto something from Heaven. The version in your photo (thanks for recycling it) is also available in this boxset of mine: Mozart: Piano Quintet, Quartets, Trios, etc. Beaux Arts Trio / Alfred Brendel, Stephen Bishop Kovacevich (pianos) / Heinz Holliger (oboe) / Eduard Brunner, Jack Brymer (clarinets) / Hermann Baumann (horn) / Klaus Thunemann (bassoon) / Patrick Ireland, Karl Schouten, Bruno Giuranna (violas) / Bruno Hoffmann (glass harmonica) / Aurole Nicolet (flute) / Jean Decroos (cello) [1969-1987] Philips (Complete Mozart Edition) 422 514-2: DDD/ADD 1991 (5 CDs) Besides, I have these three versions: Mozart: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K.478 / Piano Quartet No. 2 in E flat major, K.493 Christian Zacharias (piano) / Frank-Peter Zimmermann (violin) / Tabea Zimmermann (viola) / Tilmann Wick (cello) [recorded November 1988] TDK DV-PQWAM: DVD (2002) Mozart: Exsultate, jubilate, K.165 / Piano Quartet No. 1 in G major, K.478 / Piano Concerto No. 27 in B flat major, K.597 Elly Ameling (soprano) / Kenneth Sillito (violin) / Cecil Aronowitz (viola) / Kenneth Heath (cello) / Benjamin Britten (piano) / Sviatoslav Richter (piano) / English Chamber Orchestra / Benjamin Britten [1969, 1971, 1965] BBC (Britten the performer) BBCB 8005-2: ADD 1999 Mozart: String Quartet No. 15, K.421 / Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K.478 Oleg Kagan (violin) / Victor Tretyakov (violin) / Yuri Bashmet (viola) / Natalia Gutman (cello) / Sviatoslav Richter (piano) [1982, 1985] Live Classics LCL 193: ADD 1999 |

| [#6421] Mozart's Piano Quartets Hello Trollope & GS, At the moment, I don't have any recording on Mozart's Piano Quartets. Thanks for the sharing. I'm going to look for one. Since you've mentioned Britten, this is the Britten Cello Suites (& Cello Sonata) CD I acquired from 2nd hand shop today. http://www.amazon.com/Cello-Suites-Britten/dp/B0000041UY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2769393-3080926?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1174235859&sr=8-1 ![]() |

| [#6428] Britten played by Richter One more message on Britten – a (now) rare Richter CD from a major label: Britten: Introduction and Rondo alla burlesca, op. 23 no. 1 / Mazurka elegiaca, op. 23 no. 2 Stravinsky: Concerto for Two Pianos Bartuk: Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion Sviatoslav Richter & Vassili Lobanov (pianos) / Valery Barkov & Valentin Snegirev (percussion) [recorded live in Tours, France, July 1985] Philips 420 157-2: DDD [released 1988, made in W. Germany] On a grey and rainy day in November 1988, on his way from Yokohama to Kamakura, Richter put on a tape of this concert in his car and he later wrote this in his notebook: "I don't think it's a disaster, especially the Stravinsky Concerto with its pealing bells, the style gardens, Venetian lace and its fugue by way of a starter. The Britten isn't too bad either." (Britten's Mazurka elegiaca dates from 1941. It's an elegy for Paderewski and a memory of his Chopin-playing.) ![]() |

| [#6431] Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante Hello deafndumb, The only version that I have is probably no less "English" than the ASMF+Brown collaboration. It's played by the English Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Benjamin Britten, recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on 27 November 1967. No complaints whatsoever about the recorded sound. The 1st movement is majestic, the Andante a great beauty, and the final movement sheer joy. In Britten's own words, this work of Mozart is, quite simply, "a corker". ![]() |

| [#6434] Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante Thank you all for the recommendations, I look forward to finding them in Hong Kong or Amazon. Trollope's sounds intriguing but I guess it would not be easy to find. |

| [#6435] Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante Hello Trollope: How would you describe a musical rendition as being "English"? I always enjoy Marriner, Menuhin, Dupre but I never thought of them as being "English". Now I am indifferent to Stephen Bishop Kovacevich or Colin Davis, and I thought they were quite "English"...Gotcha! :) Jokes aside, I really like to know if there is truly an "English" sound. |

| [#6436] HK Ballet/Romeo and Juliet 23/03/2007 HK Ballet/HKPO/Prokofiev/Romeo and Juliet Shatin Town Hall I attended last night's performance at Shatin Town Hall, less for watching the ballet and more for the opportunity of hearing the complete score of Prokofiev, one of my favorites. Hence I was really stunned by how the whole thing came together. Shatin’s more humble scale meant a more crowded stage, some compression in the visual lines and a little loss in grandeur, but the gain in intimacy proved more vital. Even from my upstairs seat it was obvious this is a stunning production. This is from choreographer van Dantzig’s 1967 work, fully 40 years ago! Despite “old” influences of Graham and Balanchine, it speaks to us eloquently and did not seem dated. Most enchanting was the detailed, psychologically and musically considered choreography for Juliet, full of exquisite details and fabulously danced by Faye Leung, who looked absolutely the part. Her acting is on the same exalted level as her dancing, conveying the girlish Juliet’s every turn of thought. This is a gem worthwhile on any stage in the world. Unfortunately, her Romeo, Zhang Yao, was tentative and wooden. The rest of the cast is excellent. I would think the set, costumes and lighting contributed just as much to the total experience. Van Dantzig’s contemporary van Schayk’s sets were simple yet functional, and I must give special mention to his costumes which utilize the full palette. Under the splendid lighting of Alice Kwong the eyes just could not take in all the details. The set pieces and stills in the back look like paintings from the time of Romeo and Juliet and totally appropriate. I almost forgot to mention the music, for which I went in the first place! The HKPO in the pits, aided by the excellent acoustics of the hall, played splendidly and with class, and most importantly, con amore under the conductor Richard Bernas. This is emphatically a total experience. In its ability to “sing” it beats most opera productions. It IS a wordless opera. Watching the ballet made me learn so much more about the music I thought I knew. The final act struck me as Tristan merged into Gotterdammerung, so Wagnerian in its sweep and complete in its totality. This is even more of a masterpiece than I had thought, the most flesh and blood of classical ballets. I heard a lot of sobbing in the audience and that’s proof enough of success. My hats off to everyone. The same cast shall appear in the 2:30 performance on 24/3. Different principals shall dance the other 2 performances, 7:30 on 24/3 and 2:30 on 25/3. Go! |
