WILHELM STENHAMMAR · JEAN SIBELIUS
Cassandra Wyss, piano
With the pianistic talent of the young artist Cassandra Wyss the compilation of works by Wilhelm Stenhammar and Jean Sibelius on one CD emerges as a gateway into the world of Nordic sound gems. With her artistic courage to be stubborn – to be understood in the spirit of Hermann Hesse –, namely to select precisely those works that suit her as a pianist, Cassandra Wyss enables the careful listener to take a new and very personal view of the rich repertoire of Scandinavian music.

The american pianist Tzimon Barto and the world famous conductor Christoph Eschenbach have a very long and close friendship together. After their successful recording of Tchaikovsky’s B flat Minor Concerto (Capriccio C5065) they follow up now
with the Brahms Concertos and give us again a sample of their close and interesting work together. Brahms concertos had bad critics in the time of their first performance but today they are one of the most performed and beloved masterpieces of piano literature. Barto and Eschenbach shows their own very special interpretation which might be sometimes strange listening but gives a new focus on these masterpieces.

Zemlinsky, Korngold and Bloch also shared the fate of so many other important musical voices of the early twentieth century when their music was banned, and their lives and careers upended, by the Nazi regime. All three names can be found in the infamous Lexikon der Juden in der Musik, first published under the auspices of the Nazi Party in 1940. These policies, and others, created a rupture in the seamless heritage of German music, removing thousands of worthy works from performance, from publication and—for many— from posterity. It is the hope that musicians and music-lovers everywhere will hear these three works, and be intrigued to listen to—and to play—these and other chamber works by the many composers whose fortunes were curtailed by unfortunate timing on the stage of twentieth-century Europe.

Johannes Brahms: Die schöne Magelone
Paul Armin Edelmann Julia Stemberger Charles Spencer
The Magelone cycle is full of strange contrasts. As an artistic edifice, it has a striking singularity. Brahms took his source from the true beginning of literary Romanticism. He sought a text that, for its part, pointed back further into the past, paying reverence to a folk tone steeped in tradition. Brahms composed trend-setting music for the piano, but in vocal terms considered proximity to the folk song appropriate. ‘Brahms, the progressive musician’, as Arnold Schoenberg termed him in an eponymous essay, showed himself from his typical side in the Magelone Songs.
The rising austrian star for Lied Recitals, Paul Armin Edelmann, take intensive care of this song cycle. Together with the famous austrian Theater- and Movie actor Julia Stemberger these CDs includes beside the Brahms Romances also the complete
literarly text by Ludwig Tieck.
