Reger is one of those composers more talked about than listened to—caricatured as a prolific writer of organ music with a penchant for dense musical textures. But he certainly wasn’t averse to a good tune: the two Romances abound in lush lyricism, while the magnificent A major Violin Concerto shows him continuing in the tradition of the violin concertos of Beethoven and Brahms. An unashamedly symphonic work, it’s nearly an hour long—around the same length as the nearly-contemporary Elgar Violin Concerto. No less a figure than Adolf Busch championed it—first performing it when he was just sixteen.
The young German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender, who has already made such an impact in Schulhoff and Paganini, is joined by Lothar Zagrosek and the Berlin Konzerthausorchester for this 11th volume in the Romantic Violin Concerto series—a series that is triumphantly demonstrating how much great music there is out there just waiting to be rediscovered.

Christoph Eschenbach goes into raptures when he speaks about recording Brahms with his Konzerthaus Orchestra Berlin:” They were the ideal partner for the Brahms cycle! A lot of ideas, which I was happy to incorporate into my overall concept, derived from the musicians themselves. And they in turn were interested in my approach.” Eschenbach sees the musicians of the orchestra as the perfect counterpart to his love of Brahms. “The Konzerthaus Orchestra has fabulous soloists, especially in the woodwinds and the horn department. Furthermore, their string sound is very ‘Brahmsian’. We very quickly came to an agreement as to how Brahms should sound.”

Der Spezialist für Repertoire des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts Christoph Eschenbach präsentiert Orchesterwerke und Orchesterlieder Franz Schrekers zu dessen 145. Geburtstag 2023 mit dem Konzerthausorchester Berlin: Auf diesem Doppelalbum finden sich Highlights wie das “Nachtstück”, ein instrumentales Intermezzo aus der Oper “Der Ferne Klang”, welche Schreker über Nacht berühmt machte, sowie der beliebte “Valse Lente” auf Wienerische Art und weitere Orchesterwerke.
Zusammen mit der Sopranistin Chen Reiss und dem Bariton Matthias Goerne widmet sich Eschenbach den selten aufgeführten Schätzen von Schrekers Liedrepertoire, etwa dem Liedzyklus “Fünf Gesänge” mit Texten der österreichischen Dichterin Edith Ronsperger und “Vom ewigen Leben” mit Dichtungen des Amerikaners Walt Whitman.
Süffige, spätromantische Musik lässt sich hier aufs Schönste entdecken, der „ferne Klang“ anderer, utopischer Welten…
