Simone Young and the Hamburg Philharmonic earned
very good reviews for their interpretation of Brahms‘s
Second Symphony. Of these, Pizzicato wrote: “Young
shows us a Brahms far removed from Nordic coolness
and strictness, but he also looks good in bright
colours!” OehmsClassics is pleased to be completing
this cycle with the Third and Fourth Symphonies. The
collaboration with Ms. Young will be continued with
Bruckner. more
The operatic version of Königskinder of 1909, premiered
at the Metropolitan Opera in New York the
following year, was very highly praised. The critics
at the New York premiere called the work “the most
valuable opera of the post-Wagnerian period”. We can
only speculate as to why the meticulously composed
music drama Königskinder did not find a place in the
standard repertoire of opera houses. There have been
some recent efforts to revive this opera in the Germanspeaking
world. These began in Munich and Zurich,
and the Frankfurt Opera gave the most recent performances.
OehmsClassics presents a live recording here,
made in September/October 2012 with outstanding
performers. more
The new transverse flute experienced an impressive social
advancement during Bach’s lifetime, confidently
taking its place alongside the more intellectual clavier
as an expressive medium of sophisticated entertainment,
but also with a somewhat philosophical aura
derived from direct breathing into the instrument, as
well as the instantaneous feeling expressed through it.
With Verena Fischer and Léon Berben, OehmsClassics
proudly presents two of the most outstanding artists
in their field. more
"Upon the first oar stroke, the theme of the introduction to
the first movement occurred to me.“ This statement was
made by Gustav Mahler when he was finally able to
begin the composition of the Seventh Symphony after a
long creative block (following the completion of the
Sixth). The entire work was then completed in only
four weeks at Lake Wörth in Carinthia.
OehmsClassics is also speedily continuing the
completion of the two Gürzenich cycles (Mahler and
Tchaikovsky), presenting here a live recording from
Cologne made in June 2012. In SACD quality, as always. more
Goseffo Zarlino composed motets and secular works.
He achieved significance as the leading music theoretician
of the 16th century, having brought together
and updated a rich body of ancient literature about
music in view of the compositional principles of his
own time. His extensive principal work “Istitutioni
harmoniche” (1558) is based on the compositional
technique of his teacher Adrian Willaert, out of which
he developed a systematic, harmony-based key, counterpoint
and fugue theory. After having sung madrigals
and motets of Adrian Willaert, it was natural that
Singer Pur should dedicate themselves to the music of
Zarlino as well. more
After the great success of the Fairies, OehmsClassics is
now issuing The Ban on Love as well. The mini-series
is being completed with Rienzi in the Frankfurt Opera
CD Edition. This opera will be recorded in 2013,
again during the concertante performances at the Alte
Oper in Frankfurt. more
