Sibelius Chamber Music

Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 are poles apart in their musical style and make a highly interesting pairing for this new release. Symphony No. 1 is rooted in the symphonic tradition and has a particular tunefulness reminiscent of Tchaikovsky, whereas Symphony No. 4 is highly original and introverted, often being seen as modern and ‘cubist’ by listeners in the 1890s.

n this new concerto album one of the greatest violinist of our time, Christian Tetzlaff, performs two standard violin concertos in fresh new interpretations together with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin directed by the orchestra’s exciting new music director, Robin Ticciati.

Proposant une approche globale et sociologique de la musique, la collection Mélomaniac s'est construite sur l'idée forte de toujours placer l'oeuvre musicale, la vie instrumentale ou la pratique vocale au coeur de l'histoire des Hommes. Qu'il s'agisse d'un Pacific 231 d'Honegger illustrant le machinisme du début du XXe siècle, d'une présentation du didjeridoo en relation avec les cultures aborigènes en Australie, ou encore d'un chant sacré gdang des moines tibétains, vous trouverez dans les différents ouvrages Mélomaniac une réelle prise entre les faits musicaux et leur contexte d'existence.

This recording revives long-forgotten sonorities that once would have been very familiar: the sound of piano and organ being played together. It also presents a Sibelius premiere: the arrangement by Sigfird Karg-Elert of the suite from Pelléas and Mélisande. As the popularity of domestic music-making grew through the nineteenth century, it brought first the piano and, then, often the harmonium into well-off living-rooms across the western world. Composers naturally responded, with original works and arrangements: Sibelius Andante cantabile was written after a visit to relatives who had both instruments in their salon.
