Review London Symphony Orchestra  / Elgar - Cello Concerto; Sea Pictures Publisher: EMI Classics
Release date: 1999-01-11
Creator: Janet Baker
RRP: £15.99
Price: £9.97

Review Elgar - Cello Concerto; Sea Pictures / London Symphony Orchestra:

First issued in 1965, few recordings have lasted so well and, in the case of Sea Pictures, carried on getting better. Du Pré's account of the concerto, made when she was barely 20, made her a star overnight and remains the work with which she's most often identified. Her forceful, highly emotional performance won't be to all tastes or occasions but it brings the work to life like few others. Not just the poignancy of the opening or the aching nostalgia of the "Adagio" but the quicksilver brilliance of the "Scherzo" and cumulative energy of the finale are really made to tell. Barbirolli gives marvellously understanding support here and in Sea Pictures. It also established its soloist-Janet Baker and remains the deepest and most perceptive recording this song-cycle is ever likely to have! Baker makes light of the sometimes gauche poetry and awkward word-setting, giving the music a sweep and nobility typical of Elgar at his best. -Richard Whitehouse.

Review Rodrigo - Guitar Concertos / BBC Philharmonic Orchestra:

Premiered in 1940, Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez has survived innumerable arrangements and transcriptions for a variety of other instruments (including a version for flugelhorn and brass band-memorably heard on the Brassed Off soundtrack) to become the single most famous and popular piece of music ever written for classical guitar. It's reputation, of course, is entirely justified, and any doubts that this passionate and emotionally charged music will pall as a result of over-exposure are dispelled utterly by Craig Ogden's warm-hearted advocacy. Ogden's technique is so highly developed that he presents Rodrigo's formidable demands on the soloist as natural and effortless musical outpourings. His organic reading is enhanced by sympathetic support from Fujioka and the BBC Philharmonic, making this Aranjuez one of the very finest ever recorded. But if the Aranjuez is the primary reason for acquiring this disc, the two other works here shouldn't be overlooked as a result. The Fantasia para un gentilhombre (1958) is a suite of Gaspar Sanz's 17th-century extravagant Spanish dances presented in colourful arrangements for guitar and orchestra by Rodrigo. The fizzing energy of the Concierto para una fiesta (1983) belies the fact that it was written when the composer was over 80. Its technical challenges hold no terrors for Ogden, who brings out all the exuberance and fiery spirit of this delightful music. For all lovers of the guitar, this is an album of inspirational music-making. -Mark Walker.
