Over the course of 15 pieces, the composer alternates between a vast array of styles.

Beethoven, Brahms: Clarinet trios (Orchid Classics)

By Norman Lebrecht on 13 September 2019 Uncategorized

Beethoven’s first self-promoted concert in Vienna in April 1800 contained works by Mozart and Haydn alongside his own first symphony, piano concerto and a septet, opus 20, that was the hit of the night. On the notion that nothing succeeds like success, Beethoven sold his publisher an additional version of the septet, scaled down to a trio for clarinet (or violin), cello and piano and registered as his opus 38. Contrary to expectations, it never matched the popularity of the septet, then or since. I cannot recall a really gripping recording. This performance, by Alexander Bedenko, Kyril Zlotnikov and Itamar…

Patricia Kopatchinskaja: Time and Eternity (Alpha-Classics)

By Norman Lebrecht on 6 September 2019 Uncategorized

Just when everyone has given up on concept albums, up pops Pat Kop with a really interesting concept, one that – being Pat Kop – is strictly inimitable. The title hints at vague cosmic fusions between great faiths, but the material the great violinist assembles is pertinent, unusual and brilliantly played. She starts with the Jewish Yom Kippur invocation of Kol Nidrei – not the overworked Bruch, nor even the Schoenberg, but a deep, dark, treasurable meditation by the New York composer, John Zorn, that I had never heard before. She follows that with three voices singing the post-Sabbath hymn…
