Thomas Hampson, America’s leading baritone and a champion of the art of classic song — poetry set to music — makes his Cedille Records debut with a program of songs by five composers of the early 20th century associated with the city of Chicago: Ernst Bacon, Florence Price, John Alden Carpenter, Margaret Bonds, and Louis Campbell-Tipton. All of them, Hampson says, “have distinguished themselves in history as great voices of the artistic American narrative.”

Emil Gilels; Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner – Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1, 1812 Overture (2014)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/192 kHz | Time – 46:34 minutes | 1,84 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © High Definition Tape Transfers
Gilels recorded this work several times, and the dierence to the other stereo recording in print is evident instantly. Just play the rst 10 seconds from the Gilels/Maazel recording and then this one: RCA in 1955 captured a cleaner, better, richer sound than EMI engineers 20 years later. So you are instantly captivated by the sound alone; and then follows a performance with tremendous sweep and boldness. Reiner is denitely instrumental in helping this along: he was a far better conductor than Maazel could ever aspire to. In a word: don’t worry too much about niggling imperfections. This is a performance for the ages. It will stand as a beacon to the possibilities of transmitting a sense of greatness via recordings that had few equals in the 100 years that we have been making records. I might add, lest you think I’m just carried away by it, that I have been living with this recording (on LP) since about 1960 and had something like 22 rival version in my collection at one time. None of the others conveys that same aura of agnicence.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Seiji Ozawa – Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5; Mussorgsky: A Night on Bare Mountain (1969/2017)

He is “one of those rarities, a natural conductor”, exclaimed one reviewer after Seiji Ozawa’s Chicago Symphony debut on July 16, 1963 at the orchestra’s Ravinia Festival. “His technical facility is phenomenal, his sense of rhythm both solid and subtle, and his knowledge of scores… detailed and intimate.” Another Chicago critic concurred: “His conducting technique reminds you of his teacher, Herbert von Karajan, in that it lays the score in the lap of the orchestra with transparency of gesture and human communication, then commands acceptance.” At the end of the season, the 27-year-old podium sensation was appointed the festival’s first-ever music director, and in the years that followed Ozawa also became a regular CSO guest at Orchestra Hall, its downtown home.
Between 1965 and 1968, he and the orchestra made a series of remarkable albums for RCA. Selected releases are now remastered form the original master tapes and releases for the first time on HighResAudio. They represent an early high-point — perhaps unsurpassed — in the Japanese maestro’s long and distinguished recording career. Featured among these dynamic Ozawa/Chicago performances are three cornerstones of the symphonic repertoire: the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky Fifth Symphonies and the Schubert “Unfinished”, all remastered from the original analogue tapes for this edition.

Gaston Litaize, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Daniel Barenboim – Saint-Saens: Symphony No. 3 “Organ”; Bacchanale from “Samson et Dalila”; Prélude from “Le Déluge”; Danse macabre (1976/2013)

This celebrated recording of Saint-Saëns’ Third stands as one of the very few performances to challenge the acclaimed Munch/Boston version on RCA. It features playing of great panache (with a truly high-voltage finale), and if the strings in the first-movement allegro aren’t as tidy as some, Barenboim more than compensates by taking the movement gratifyingly up to speed. The big question for most collectors concerns the remastering, and here I have to say that it strikes me as an unqualified success.

Lyric Opera of Chicago presents “The Three Queens”, a program that brings together the finales of Gaetano Donizetti’s Tudor trilogy, showcasing three of the most fascinating heroines of opera history. These extraordinary women are interpreted by soprano Sondra Radvanovsky, who performs them together with an excellent ensemble of soloists under the baton of Donizetti specialist Riccardo Frizza. Singing these three breathtaking roles on one night is an enormous challenge for any soprano, and this live recording captures all the excitement of this exceptional achievement.

Rachel Kolly d’Alba, Christian Chamorel, Spektral Quartet Chicago – Franck & Chausson: Fin de siècle (2015)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Aparté
This new album by Rachel Kolly d’Alba takes us to the heart of this Fin de Siècle and we learn all its secrets. Accompanied for the occasion by his partner of always: Christian Chamorel, and Spektral Quartet Chicago. A glowing interpretation, deep and visionary!
Few works of the period are more recognizable than César Franck’s magnificent Violin Sonata. The work has been transcribed for nearly every instrument on the planet and is a permanent staple of the repertoire. Franck’s influence on Ernest Chausson’s Concerto is unmistakable. A late-Romantic hybrid, the work blends elements of piano quintet and string quintet styles.
Rachel Kolly d’Alba signed worldwide with Warner Classics in 2010. Her first release of six sonatas by composer Eugène Ysaÿe burst onto the musical scene receiving unanimously high praise from international press. Her Wigmore Hall debut in April last year was reviewed in Musical Opinion as ‘virtuosity of the most brilliant and effortless kind, with Christian Chamorel, time and again, proving himself to be a truly exceptional partner’.
