Daniel Ottensamer – Nielsen – Grieg (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:02:17 minutes | 540 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Sony Classical
The Clarinet Concerto by the Danish composer Carl Nielsen is one of the absolute pillars of the repertoire for clarinet and orchestra, which is why every clarinetist must have played it at least once in his musical life. The Austrian clarinetist Daniel Ottensamer, however, has very special memories of this work, because in 2009 he also won the important “Carl Nielsen International Clarinet Competition” in Denmark with this concerto. Ottensamer was 23 years young at the time – and had long since held one of the most prestigious positions: in 2006, at the age of only 20, he was appointed principal clarinetist of the Vienna Philharmonic. And it was with this “his” orchestra that he performed Nielsen’s Clarinet Concerto under the baton of Ádám Fischer in Vienna’s Musikvereinssaal in 2014. With the live recording of the concerto, Ottensamer now also opens his current album on Sony Classical, which is dedicated to the music of the far north. In addition to Nielsen’s concerto, he can also be heard performing his Fantasy for Clarinet and Piano. The clarinettist, who has also been awarded an OPUS Klassik, will be accompanied by his long-time piano partner Christoph Traxler. With him, Ottensamer has also arranged “Lyric Pieces” by Edvard Grieg for clarinet and piano for the album. “The Nordic music of Edvard Grieg and Carl Nielsen, as well as the Scandinavian folk music that served each of these composers as the basis for their masterpieces, has fascinated me since my earliest youth,” Daniel Ottensamer says. “By juxtaposing Carl Nielsen’s complex clarinet concerto with Edvard Grieg’s “Lyric Pieces,” which are deeply moving due to their simplicity and plainness, I would like to shed light on the various facets of Nordic music as well as the different timbres of the clarinet associated with it.” Dane Carl Nielsen wrote his Clarinet Concerto in 1928, three years before his death. Nielsen focused on chamber orchestration, with prominent bassoon and horn passages. The snare drum is the most important instrument, along with the solo clarinet, and fires up the battle of the keys with wild rhythmic outbursts. The technical demands on the clarinetist turn out to be enormously high. The Fantasy for clarinet and piano, on the other hand, is an early work by Nielsen. Nielsen was only between 16 and 18 years old when he demonstrated his early compositional talent with this brilliant fantasy. Of Grieg’s total of 66 piano pieces, which have become famous under the title “Lyric Pieces”, Ottensamer and Christoph Traxler have arranged 12 pieces. And also these sometimes folk, sometimes melancholic sound worlds Daniel Ottensamer roams with his clarinet somnambulistically and heart-warmingly beautiful.

Daniel McCagh shares a surprise EP of viscerally textured drone heavy ambient. Presented as one long play track in three movements Imagining Machines percolates with sinewy grains, shrowding the melodic elements beneath—an aural representation of watching a weather front come in via the reflection in an icy puddle.

Daniel McCagh – Altered States (2020)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 40:16 minutes | 458 MB | Genre: Electronic, Ambient
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © n5MD
“Altered States” is the debut album from Australian composer and sound designer Daniel McCagh. In sharp contrast to McCagh’s commercial work for Huawei, Acura, and Volkswagen, “Altered States” is a detailed opening statement of experimental aural vignettes by an artist that has clearly spent the time to master his craft. Digitally manipulated acoustic instruments form the backbone for McCagh’s wall-of-sound aesthetic painting pictures of bleak futures where the tracks dance, or more aptly, shiver their way to sharp collapse. In short, McCagh makes ambient music with teeth. A form of experimental music with soul, or faded formation of industrialized machine music shrouded by layers of aural gauze, each piece emotively twisting and turning in and out of focus. “Altered States” is a brilliant inaugural proclamation from artist to watch.

This recording has been designed to introduce works for violin and piano by Greek composers or composers of partial Greek descent, whose works were inspired and shaped far from their place of birth by the influences and cultural trends of their new environments. Boris Papandopulo was based in the former Yugoslavia and his music is infused with Balkan folk music elements as displayed by his Sonata while the Meditation, which opens this recording, is infused with an elegiac atmosphere inspired by the Dalmatian coast. Dinos Constantinides lived for more than 50 years in the United States. While his Sonata for violin and piano uses the twelve-tone technique it is at the same time characterized by long sweeping melodies.
