Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition/Songs & Dances of Death/...

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Drei Meisterwerke

Gleich drei Meisterwerke von Modest Mussorgsky vereint diese SACD mit Valery Gergiev und dem Mariinsky Orchester. Die sinfonische Dichtung Eine Nacht auf dem kahlen Berge erklingt dabei in der Originalfassung des Komponisten statt in der weitaus populäreren Orchestrierung von Rimsky-Korsakoff. Dieser benutzte das Material des Kollegen lediglich als Grundlage und entschärfte die radikalen Kühnheiten Mussorgskys. Solist im 1962 von Dimtri Schostakowitsch kongenial orchestrierten Zyklus Lieder und Tänze des Todes ist kein Geringerer als Ferruccio Furlanetto. Über die Bilder eine Ausstellung muss man nicht viel Worte verlieren, hier erweist sich Gergiev erneut als derzeit bester Anwalt russischer Musik.

Drei Meisterwerke von Modest Mussorgsky Mit Ferruccio Furlanetto als Solist Lieder und Tänze des Todes in der kongenialen Orchesterfassung von Dmitri Schostakowitsch Eine Nacht auf dem kahlen Berge in der selten zu hörenden Originalfassung von Rimsky-Korsakoff



Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra celebrate Mussorgsky with the release of two of his most cherished works, 'Pictures at an Exhibition' and 'Night on a Bare Mountain' (performed here in Mussorgsky s original version). Gergiev is at his finest conducting these paragons of Mussorgsky s work, featured alongside which are the seldom heard 'Songs and Dances of Death', composed during the years 1875 to 1877 and left languishing unpublished during the composer s lifetime. One of Mussorgsky s most powerful compositions, each song deals with death in a poetic manner reflecting experiences not uncommon in 19th century Russia: child death, death in youth, drunken misadventure and war.









REZENSION
**** A particularly rich and detailed performance of Mussorgsky s Pictures at an Exhibition, and a truly opulent Night on Bare Mountain. Pizzicato --Pizzicato

Gergiev conducts a penetrating Pictures at an Exhibition in an all-Mussorgsky disc that has Ferruccio Furlanetto singing Songs and Dances of Death. --Philly.com

'Ravel's brilliant if somewhat prettified version.suits Gergiev's approach . A Night on the Bare Mountain is splendidly macabre' John Warrack - Gramophone, April 2015 ----------- Performance: (Pictures; A Night on a Bare Mountain) **** (Songs and Dances) ***** Recording: **** 'The playing here is poised, uninflated, and vividly characterised . the major appeal of this release is an exceptional interpretation of the Songs of Dances and Death by Ferruccio Furlanetto. His mellow toned Italian bass, projected with superlative line and diction, offers a fine alternative to the heavy vocal artillery of Russian tradition . Excellently clear recorded sound enhances a release of real and anti-routine quality.' --Malcolm Hayes - BBC Music Magazine, July 2015.
