Iremember clearly the day I moved into my dorm on the campus of East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee, January 1979. I put on my headphones and listened intently to California Autumn. As the record began, the sound that hammered into my brain that day is one of those musical memories I will never forget. I must have listened 40 times over. Recently I listened again on my new Bose headphones to see if it was as utterly awesome as I remembered. It was.

Tasmin Little, BBC Symphony Orchestra & Edward Gardner – Szymanowski & Karlowicz: Violin Concertos (2017)
SACD ISO | DST64 2.0 & 5.1 > 1-bit/2.8224 MHz | 01:12:56 minutes | 3,3 GB | Genre: Classical | © Chandos
This SACD recording brings together some of Chandos’ greatest artists in a spellbinding programme.
It follows performances that The Guardian described as ‘a thrilling show of ferocity and feistiness’, given by the same forces in January at the Barbican. After widely acclaimed recordings of Walton’s and Lutosławski’s violin concertos, Tasmin Little again joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edward Gardner, in intensely expressive interpretations of the concertos by the Polish composers Karłowicz and Szymanowski.
All were written within the space of a generation (1902, 1916, and 1933), and yet they belong to quite different worlds. One was composed at a time of national occupation, another in the throes of wartime, and yet another at a time of national renewal. The first inhabits the lyrical tradition developed by Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, the second escapes towards Debussy and the exoticism of Mediterranean influences, while the third is imbued with the folk culture of the Tatra Mountains.

Sviatoslav Richter – Sviatoslav Richter plays Mussorgsky & Tchaikovsky (2016)
SACD ISO | DST64 2.0 > 1-bit/2.8224 MHz | 01:18:01 minutes | 1,06 GB | Genre: Classical | © Praga Digitals
Richter’s creative flair lifts hitherto neglected pieces by Tchaikovsky to the level of Mussorgsky’s mighty ‘Pictures’ in recordings from Moscow to New York.
A Russian pianist known for the depth of his interpretations, virtuoso technique, and vast repertoire, Richter is considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century and his approach resulted in some of the most distinctive and individual performances of the piano repertoire ever recorded. In later life he took to playing at very short notice in small, most often darkened halls, with only a small lamp lighting the score. Richter said that this setting helped the audience focus on the music being performed, rather than the performer’s grimaces and gestures.

Sviatoslav Richter & Leningrad PO, Kurt Sanderling – Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 (2012)
SACD ISO | DST64 2.0 > 1-bit/2.8224 MHz | 01:14:41 minutes | 1,17 GB | Genre: Classical | © Praga Digitals
Richter only played Rachmaninov’s first two concertos before embarking on his international career in 1960. A logical compilation of two live performances plus four Préludes which were to remain his favourites for the next 50 years. A unique programme which today’s cutting edge techniques have attempted to render in all their original glory. Richter n’a joué les deux premiers concertos de Rachmaninov qu’avant sa carrière internationale qui n’a réellement débutée qu’en 1960. Couplage désormais logique et unique de deux lives complété par quatre Préludes qui resteront, eux, ses favoris pendant près d’un demi-siècle. Un programme unique que les techniques les plus récentes tentent ici de reproduire dans leur vérité première.

Recorded: 2000-02-09/11 at Kioi Hall, Tokyo, Japan
This recording spans music from the composer’s early days and his Requiem, overflowing with humanity, and ends in the days of the musician’s maturity, with his expansive view of nature that supports the echo of the mourning bells, analogous to prayer. Perhaps, unexpectedly, the disc offers, a glimpse of a rare artist’s whole life.
