After the successful release of “Vox Humana”, Isang Enders turns his gaze towards the 20th century. Together with WDR Sinfonieorchester he has recorded various work by Hans Werner Henze and puts his work in the foreground on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his death. The album includes “Ode an den Westwind”, “Englische Liebeslieder”, “Introduction, Theme and Variations” and “Trauer-Ode für Martina Geddes.” The cellist Isang Enders quickly distinguished himself as a musician with new concepts and a constant search for clues, which he repeatedly proves with his particularly broad repertoire. With his early publication of the cello suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, the FAZ describes his “overwhelming technical ability and precocious perception”, which led to an “interpretation that can compete with the best”.

Bernd Alois Zimmermann (1918–1970) was one of the most distinctive composers in the musical avant-garde after the Second World War. While Karlheinz Stockhausen served as a kind of “generator” in Cologne during the 1950s and 60s, inventing completely new sounds and techniques, Zimmermann was in many ways his opposite, a “transformer” who redefined previously existing material by placing it in new contexts and collage-like structures, anticipating the ideas of the Postmodernists.

Cristian Măcelaru, WDR Sinfonieorchester – Dvořák: Legends Op. 59, Czech Suite Op. 39 (2022)

Linn is thrilled to commence a new collaboration with one of the most renowned orchestras in Germany, Cologne based WDR Sinfonieorchester, with the fast-rising star of the conducting world, Cristian Măcelaru, at the helm.
In this first album, the all Dvořák programme includes the composer’s Legends, Op. 59 and the Czech Suite in D major, Op. 39. Initially written for piano four-hands – a highly profitable market in those days – the rather contemplative Legends were shortly later orchestrated for relatively small forces by Dvořák. Though not carrying a specific story, the ten Legends have somewhat an epic character as if they fused in one continuous narrative.
The dance based Czech Suite epitomizes Dvořák’s unrivaled folk suffused writing. The four-movement work ends with a superb Furiant, which brings the album to a close.

“A program can tell a story – the way different musical works follow one another has a great effect on the listener. It can sometimes reveal unexpected things, even refreshing connections …”, violinist Augustin Hadelich describes the approach to his new album Recuerdos – Erinnerungen. The Grammy Award winner built it thematically around Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto, the complexity of which has preoccupied him for years.

Alban Gerhardt writes admiringly of Rostropovich and the legacy of marvellous works he inspired, but on the evidence of these extraordinary accounts of two of them, he need fear no comparisons with his great Russian forebear.
