Schubert: String Quartet No.14 in D minor, D.810 I Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony, Op.110A (CD)
„A quartet for string orchestra! This will sound strange to you. I already know all objections that will be raised: the destruction of intimacy, of individuality. But this would be mistaken. What I intend is nothing but an ideal representation of the quartet.“ (Gustav Mahler, 1899)

Sergei Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 in E minor, op. 27 I The Rock, Symphonic Poem op. 7 by Academic Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Philharmonia / Alexander Dmitriev (CD)
Made in Germany“. Maybe it sounds strange at first glance to headline a symphony of the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov like this. However, if one looks closer to the genesis of his Second Symphony there is some good reason for it since he wrote it during his stay in Dresden.

A Spectre is Stalking Europe. Cantata on the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution, Op.74 I Prosper, Our Mighty Country, Op. 114. Cantata on the 30th Anniversary of the October Revolution I A Toast! Op.85 (In Honor of Stalin’s 60th Birthday) by New Philharmonia Orchestra / Alexander Titov (CD)
The three works on this album belong to a large group of masterpieces, which dispels the myth that Prokofiev – ‘shaker of foundations’ and ‘daring innovator’ – became, after his return to the USSR, an ‘acquiescent traditionalist’. But what message was the composer trying to convey? The texts Prokofiev set to music were „Party lyrics“ and in order to understand the reason behind, one must turn to the intriguing puzzle that is Prokofiev’s relationship with Soviet Russia.

Barber: Adagio for Strings, Op. 11 I Bruckner: String Quintet in F major by Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin / Sayako Kusaka & Michael Erxleben (Digital Album)
The slow movement in classical music has many names: adagio, andante, largo, and marcia funèbre are just some of the best known. What they all have in common is their function in the composition scheme – as a centre of calm in a dynamic environment of allegros, scherzi and prestos which forces the listener to pause for a while and to allow a moment of introspection and contemplation.

Bartok: Divertimento for String Orchestra, Sz. 113 I Romanian Folk Dances, SZ. 56 I Piazzolla: Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas by Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin / Sayako Kusaka (CD)
In the 1920s, Bartók was at the height of his fame as a leading composer of the modern age. But this great international response had only set in after the First World War. After a period of initial, well-received successes, Bartók, whose style became increasingly uncompromising and advanced, had been more or less ignored by home audiences and performances of his works were also rejected by his fellow artists. Bartók for his part rejected the prevailing spirit of the times and waited several years in a kind of inner exile.

Bizet I Shchedrin I Ponomarenko: Rebirth of Bizet’s Carmen Suite by Double Duet MA.GR.IG.AL. Plus One (CD)
„I’m scared of Bizet“, was Dmitri Shostakovich’s answer, when prima ballerina Maya Plisetskaya turned for help with her lifelong dream: to create a CARMEN ballet. “You’ll be disappointed no matter what you write.”. The next composer to decline the nonsensical idea was Aram Khachaturyan. Composer no. 3 was found more accidentally: it was Rodion Shchedrin, who happened to be Plisetskaya’s husband. He wrote the entire score to the ballet’s movements and rhythms in only twenty days. Shchedrin called it “An arrangement of Bizet’s CARMEN for strings and percussion”.
