Review The Original Four Seasons / Vanessa-Mae:This recording achieves the Herculean task of rescuing Vivaldi's oft- performed concerti from the hackneyed oblivion of elevator music, and ingeniously resuscitating them in an arresting and enthralling manner. It as if the parched roots of these pieces have been watered with something rather bracing and slightly alcoholic, and suddenly shot into blooms of brilliant red and electric blue. Vanessa-Mae, her producer Pamela Nicholson, and the group of highly acclaimed soloists and professors which makes up the orchestra Laureate, have all contributed to these exciting arrangements. The starting premise was that Vivaldi would have expected his soloists to embellish and elaborate the solo parts for themselves: on this recording that has meant fleshing out the orchestral parts so that they stretch the techniques of everyone involved, and turning the solo part itself into a Paganini-esque jeu d'esprit. (Following Sir Thomas Beecham's advice, who said that a harpsichord sounds like "skeletons copulating on a galvanised tin roof", that instrument has judiciously been omitted!) And the wonderful thing is that the programmatic sense of the seasons- - birds twittering, teeth chattering, hay-gathering etc-is not mocked, but reinforced. -Warwick Thompson.

Review John Tavener - A Portrait / Bjork:Ideal for neophytes, John Tavener: A Portrait is a two-disc set presenting a chronological survey of the composer's major works produced to coincide with his 60th birthday (January 2004). Although it's a sampler collection consisting of short extracts, it all fits together well because the music is accompanied by a lengthy and informative booklet essay by David McCleery that puts all the extracts in the context of Tavener's Gnostic musical journey of self-discovery, from avant-garde pal of the Beatles to Russian Orthodoxy to all-embracing spirituality. The representative selection is compiled from a variety of recordings and record labels (though there's nothing here from his most famous early work The Whale). The Protecting Veil (performed by Maria Kliegel) as well as his later "divine" musings are given due prominence, naturally enough. But even Tavener acolytes who already have the full-length versions of many of these pieces will still be tempted by the inclusion of the premiere recording of Prayer of the Heart, featuring Icelandic singer Björk and the Brodsky Quartet. The addition of a recorded interview with the composer himself ensures that anyone wishing to learn more about Tavener's often opaque and enigmatic music will do well to begin here. -Mark Walker.
