Alexander Melnikov imagined this programme where four monuments from the piano repertoire are interpreted in their original instrumental environment. The four pianos chosen have characteristics corresponding to those of the instruments on which these virtuoso pieces were first performed. A journey where the horizons of sounds expand to dizzying new heights.

Italian bass Ferruccio Furlanetto is one of the most sought-after interpreters of French, Italian and Russian repertoire. Here he joins Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky orchestra for a sumptuous recording of Massenet’s final great opera. Gergiev is no stranger to conducting Massenet, having recorded an outstanding performance of 'Hérodiade' in 1995 with Renée Fleming and Placido Domingo.

John Eliot Gardiner - The Blossoming Conductor (2025)
FLAC (tracks), Lossless | 2:47:46 | 745 Mb
Genre: Classical

John Eliot Gardiner C’est un des principaux acteurs du renouveau qui souffle si fort sur la musique des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles depuis une cinquantaine d’années dans le monde. Petits effectifs, instruments anciens ou recopiés, recherche des articulations et des modes de jeu en s’aidant des traités d’interprétation des époques concernées, telles sont les préoccupations des musiciens historiquement renseignés. C’est en 1964 déjà que John Eliot Gardiner crée le Monteverdi Choir. Il a tout juste 20 ans et sort de ses études d’histoire et d’arabe au King’s College de Cambridge. Il a travaillé en parallèle la musique avec Thurston Dart, un des pionniers de la musique ancienne en Angleterre, et est venu deux ans à Paris auprès de Nadia Boulanger ce qui a fait de lui un francophone, et un francophile, averti.

There are compelling reasons for acquiring this collection of recordings made in Vienna and New York in 1968. First, there is the intensely characterful singing of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and of Christa Ludwig, one of the great Mahler interpreters. Then there is the double fascination of hearing the songs with piano accompaniment played by Leonard Bernstein, who at that time was very much into enacting the role of Mahler's self-appointed representative on earth.
Richard Osborne; Gramphone, March 1992.
