With 22 symphonies, 17 string quartets, 9 concertos, and 7 operas, the composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg left behind an extensive oeuvre. Musically, one can hear the composer’s close friendship with Dmitri Shostakovich, although Weinberg’s music is more lyrical and romantic in nature. Nevertheless, the composer was long forgotten and his music has only been rediscovered in the last ten years. Gidon Kremer has dedicated himself to the rediscovery and cultivation of Weinberg’s music. In February 2020, he performed Weinberg’s Violin Concerto op. 67 with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the musical direction of Daniele Gatti as part of a series of concerts in honor of the composer’s 100th birthday at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. Weinberg completed the concerto in 1959, the culmination of one of his most creative and successful phases of the 1950s. The work captivates with its large symphonic structure and its four movements, which are rather atypical for a concerto. Also in 1959, Weinberg composed the Sonata for Two Violins op. 69, which Kremer recorded with the Latvian violinist Madara Petersone, concert master of the Kremerata Baltica.

Given that a concerto is usually a sure attention-grabber, it’s been notable how thin on the ground new recordings of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto for violin, cello and piano have been during this big birthday year of his; at least in comparison to the flurry of new Violin Concertos that have appeared. Confirmation, perhaps, that for many it’s a rather problematic work, despite its big-boned drama, sense of fun, and indeed the theoretical attraction of uniting not one but three A-lister soloists. But now here are Gidon Kremer, Giedre Dirvanauskaite and Georgijs Osokins with Carl Reinecke 1867 piano trio arrangement of it, recorded in the warmly supportive acoustic of the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music Concert Hall in Katowice.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Alfa Music
La Gianni Savelli Media Res Ensemble trae la sua ispirazione da fonti così numerose e diverse tra loro che realmente si muove al di là di qualsiasi etichetta e categorizzazione. La loro combinazione di musica ampiamente scritta e di improvvisazione, intesa come fulcro della composizione, è assolutamente unica in un ensemble piccolo come questo. Formata da Gianni Savelli (sax tenore e soprano, flauto, flauto contralto e traversiere), Aldo Bassi (tromba, filicorno), Pierpaolo Principato (pianoforte), Luca Pirozzi (contrabbasso) e Marco Rovinelli (batteria e percussioni), l’ensemble propone una sua originalissima lettura dell’universo del jazz contemporaneo. Filtrata attraverso i suoni e ritmi di varie culture lontane fuse con le armonie jazz ed europee, la musica della Gianni Savelli Media Res Ensemble emerge come qualcosa di completamente originale e suggestivo che conduce l’ascoltatore in un viaggio immaginifico. Da questa volontà di abbattere confini e limiti nasce “Que la Fete Commence”.

“I think that music, in most cases, “speaks” much better than the words. This album reflects exactly my personality and my approach to life and to music itself. I am grateful to the musicians, to Paul, Simone and Mirko who shared this vision with me. A special mention to Stefano Amerio (Artesuono) for his precious professionalism.”

Gianluigi Trovesi, Marco Remondini, Stefano Bertoli, Filarmonica Mousiké, Savino Acquaviva – Profumo Di Violetta: Gianluigi Trovesi all’opera (2008)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:01:24 minutes | 1,05 GB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © ECM
Italy’s great musical archaeologist and one of the outstanding improvisers of his country, Gianluigi Trovesi with “Profumo di Violetta” indulges in his love for the emotional drama and musical beauty of Italian opera. (The title simultaneously alludes to the protagonist of Verdi’s famous opera “La traviata” and to the flower’s sweet perfume.) Accompanied by the characteristic North-Italian provincial “banda”, a large wind orchestra with percussion as we find it in the on-stage-music of most Verdi operas, Trovesi takes us on a humorous journey through the history of the genre.
It starts with Monteverdi’s “Orfeo”, includes many highlights from “La traviata” before briefly visiting Mascagni and Puccini.
The popular and the sublime, irony and unrestrained pathos meet with an improvisational spirit that conveys the pure joy of music making. One of the most unorthodox albums in this year’s release schedule, Trovesi’s opera project is likely to win many enthusiastic listeners among opera lovers and open-minded jazz enthusiasts.

Gianluigi Trovesi – La misteriosa musica della Regina Loana (2019)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 50:56 minutes | 479 MB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © ECM
This hugely enjoyable and highly inventive album is dedicated to the late Umberto Eco, a lifelong friend of accordionist Gianni Coscia and an ardent champion of this particular duo. Eco’s The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loanna, a meditation on the nature of memory, inspires Trovesi and Coscia on their own nostalgic and exploratory journey, referencing music mentioned in the novel and free-associating upon its philosophical themes. As ever, the Italians cast a wide net, playing songs associated with Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and George Formby, paraphrasing Janáček, dipping into movie music, and improvising most creatively while keeping their dedicatee in view. Repertoire revisits “Interludio”, a piece that Umberto Eco and Gianni Coscia collaborated on 70 years ago, and Gianluigi Trovesi crafts a new composition on the letters of Eco’s name. From multiple perspectives, a brilliant tribute.

Rossini’s Eduardo e Cristina was a huge success in its day, but as perhaps the last centone opera (one assembled from previously existing material) by a major composer, it became forgotten under the subsequent tide of Romantic idealism. Today we can put these prejudices aside and enjoy this masterful creation for what it is: a hugely entertaining parade of beautiful and spectacular musical ‘hits’ set to a familiar story of secret love, dramatic crisis and triumphant resolution. This “2017 Bad Wildbad” revival was summed up as ‘an evening of pure bel canto pleasure!’ by Operagazet.

One of the greatest jazz trombonist sui generis, a phenomenon who has recorded for ECM, Blue Note and! K7, the other is one of the best Italian vibraphonists. On 11 June Gianluca Petrella and Pasquale Mirra will release the album Correspondence for Tǔk Music. The first excerpt is Correspon-Dance which the two define «the most surreal window of the record, a hammering of drums and percussion without a defined melody or theme, but characterized by a tight rhythm. The instruments we use and the intention with which we play them are as if they represent an ideal embrace between the north and south of the world, such as between the Malian balafon and the more western-sounding trombone”.

The six French Suites, BWV 812–817 were written for the clavier (harpsichord or clavichord) by Johann Sebastian Bach between 1722 and 1725. They were later given the name “French” by Bach’s biographer J.N. Forkel, who wrote that “one usually calls them French Suites because they are written in the French manner” – despite the fact that only a few of the movements are in the French style (the courantes of the first and third suites, for example). Bach employed dance movements that are foreign to the French manner, such as the Polonaise of the Sixth suite.

With Beethoven’s Piano Concertos no. 4 and op. 61a, the latter being the composer’s own transcription of his Violin Concerto, Gianluca Cascioli, Riccardo Minasi and Ensemble Resonanz present two milestones of the piano literature.
Basing their interpretation on intensive source research in the archives of the Vienna Musikverein and on handwritten notes by Beethoven, the performers suggest an alternative, more varied and virtuosic version of the piano part in Concerto no. 4.
