🌟New Release in November🌟

Bruckner’s Fifth is a contrapuntal masterpiece and his grandest symphony until we reach the Eighth. Its finale is a tour-de-force and gives us an idea of what the finale of his uncompleted Ninth Symphony might have sounded like. The descending bass line of its magnificent dark and halting opening – so effectively recalled in the finale – is inimitable. Although it was for long available only in an inauthentic version by Franz Schalk, it’s distinguished by never having been subject to revision by Bruckner, who was to die before he was even able to hear it performed by an orchestra. When Bruckner wrote his masterpiece, he was still far from establishing himself as a composer in Vienna. His spirits were at a low ebb when he wrote to a friend that “my life has lost all joy and delight – in vain and for nothing.” The Fifth represents a radiant pinnacle amid that sense of darkness.

There are striking similarities between a group of Soviet composers, all born in the 1930s, and the more widely recognised associations of French and Russian composers known respectively as ‘Les Six’ and the ‘Mighty Handful’. They hailed from ethnic minorities in the Russian-dominated Soviet Union and defied cultural-political directives. This eventually led them to a post-ideological musical language of their own, guided by personal faith, and with a unique beauty that enchants listeners to this day. Gija Kancheli, who was born in Tbilisi in 1935, is one of them. A fellow composer called him “an ascetic with the temperament of a maximalist – a restrained Vesuvius.” The works on this album, all featuring the piano, exemplify that side to his music: To be able to make time seemingly stand still … while continuing to dance.

🎵New Review 🎻

"The Michelangelo Quartet does justice to the different styles of the composers with expressions adapted to each. ...they demonstrate both the certainty of individual performance and the merging of these approaches into an ensemble. The result is interpretations that plumb the depths and leave nothing to be desired in terms of expression." - Pizzicato

Experience the captivating chamber music of the Tcherepnin family, performed by the Michelangelo Quartett with Siobhan Stagg (soprano) and Giuseppe Mentuccia (piano). Enjoy Nikolai Tcherepnin's String Quartet Op.11, along with compositions by his son Alexander Tcherepnin, including Piano Quintet Op.44 and String Quartets Nos.1 and 2.
