Description

Brahms / Vogt / Royal Northern Sinfonia - Piano Concerto 1 [New CD] Artist: Brahms / Vogt / Royal Northern Sinfonia Title: Piano Concerto 1 Condition: Format: CD Release Date: 2019 Label: Ondine UPC: 761195133026 Genre: Classical Lars Vogt continues his series of concerto recordings with the Royal Northern Sinfonia with this new recording of Johannes Brahms' (1833-1897) First Piano Concerto together with Four Ballades (Op. 10) for solo piano. As in previous albums, Lars Vogt conducts from the keyboard. The evolution of Brahms' 1st Piano Concerto took several steps. Originally conceived to become a Sonata for Two Pianos through orchestration it was developed into a four-movement Symphony until reaching into it's final form of a Piano Concerto in three movements. During the process, which lasted from 1854 to 1856, some movements were also discarded and replaced by new material. This music is packed with much drama. No wonder since these years were particularly tumultuous in Brahms' personal life: it was during this period when his great mentor Robert Schumann was sent into an asylum and ultimately died. It was also time when Brahms formed a close, lifelong friendship to Clara Schumann. Some of these feelings might well be echoed in the peaceful 2nd movement, Adagio. Brahms' Four Ballades, Op. 10 are works written in 1854 by a young composer barely in his 20s, yet these pieces are technically mature and profound in such a manner that they could even be compared to his final piano opuses. Lars Vogt was appointed the first ever "Pianist in Residence" by the Berlin Philharmonic in 2003/04 and enjoys a high profile as a soloist and chamber musician. His debut solo recording on Ondine with Bach's Goldberg Variations (ODE 1273-2) was released in August 2015 and has been a major critical success. Lars Vogt started his tenure as Music Director of the Royal Northern Sinfonia in September 2015. Lars Vogt was nominated for Gramophone's Artist of the Year award in 2017. His recordings of Beethoven's Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 4 (ODE 1311-2) together with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and an album of Dvorak's Piano Trios (ODE 1316-2) received Gramophone's Editor's Choice in May 2018 and in December 2018. His most recent album on Ondine featuring four Mozart's Piano Sonatas (ODE 1318-2) was also chosen Gramophone's Editor's Choice in July 2019. Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.

All orders ship within a very reasonable time frame,usually no more than a week to receive a package. What more can I say?!!!

  2. Genuine product at a bargain price. Fantastic seller, excellent communication and super quick delivery time: shipped from USA to Australia in under two weeks. Only complaint is the package was wrapped in brown paper with a thin plastic inner membrane. Package was soaking wet when collected although the contents were protected and dry. Maybe seller would consider plastic outer wrapping, especially for OS shipments. Otherwise, 5 stars well deserved. Thank you A++++++++

  3. Fast shipping in careful, thoughtful packaging. Product matched the listing condition (new), but didn't match the listing description. There was an article missing; however, the item received was brand new in factory seal so I blame the manufacture for the error. Regardless, spoke with customer service and they were very fast and friendly in response. I've bought a fair amount of stuff from them in the past and can't wait to buy from them again. 100%. Great company.
