Review Tavener - Protecting Veil - Britten 3rd Suite for Cello / Virgin Classics:With the first three notes of The Protecting Veil, way, way up in the cello's register, Tavener wrenches you away from of the frenetic pace of the late-twentieth century and back to an ancient world where contemplation and religious ecstasy go hand in hand. And it's difficult to imagine a more compelling performance than the one heard here from Steven Isserlis, who premiered the work and whose gutsy, slightly astringent tone Tavener surely had in mind when he wrote all those searing, stratospheric lines for the soloist. It's a veritable high-wire act, but Isserlis never falters, and he sustains an unblinking intensity for the whole work's epic 45-minute span. The strings of the LSO under Gennadi Rozhdestvensky relish the virtuoso writing and here is proof, if it were needed, that all-string textures are not the sole preserve of paid-up members of the English cowpat school. The solo cello couplings work well-Thrinos was written for Isserlis, and the Third Suite of Britten is not dissimilar in mood, being heavily based around Russian themes. Buy it for the main work, but enjoy the bonuses as well. -Harriet Smith.

Review Grieg - Lyric Pieces / EMI Classics:Between 1867 and 1901, Grieg published 10 books of "Lyric Pieces" for solo piano. From these, Leif Ove Andsnes has drawn a representative selection of 24 melodies from the first, "Arietta", to the final, "Remembrances". While Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor is known the world over (Andsnes has made a celebrated recording) these highly expressive pieces span virtually the length of the composer's career, revealing a poetic sensibility midway between Chopin and Debussy. In so far as Grieg drew inspiration from his native folk music, the pieces illustrate a benign nationalism, and in the same way Andsnes carries the expectation of being a "Norwegian" artist with a refined musicality, refusing to unnecessarily romanticise what is in the main simple, lyrical music. Indeed, apart from the playfulness of the "March of the Trolls" and the exuberant "Homeward" and "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen", there is a wonderful impressionistic quality throughout this very satisfying recording. Andsnes finds a lucid questioning in "Illusion" and more pastoral qualities in "The Brook" and "Evening in the Mountains", aspects of Norway still being expressed two generations later by composer Geirr Tveitt. Andsnes is the first Norwegian pianist to attain international stature, and playing this music on his compatriot's own Steinway gives this first-rate recital an unrivalled authenticity. -Gary S Dalkin.

Review The Art of the Theremin / Clara Rockmore:As anyone who has seen the fascinating documentary Theremin will realize, the instrument named after its inventor was far more than a gimmick. The theremin was the first electronic instrument. It was so difficult to play that it never really caught on, except for special effects in Hollywood film scores. But Clara Rockmore became its best-known player, and in this, her only recording, she shows herself to have been a great artist. Hearing her play Rachmaninov's Vocalise is a truly memorable experience. Rockmore's sister, a noted pianist herself, accompanies with great sensitivity, and the recording holds up well. Bless Delos for keeping this unique item available! -Leslie Gerber.
