Product Description

Mozart and Strauss were Ashkenazy’s private passions - he felt a deep affection for them. In Mozart he devoted particular attention to the concertante pieces, in Strauss what fascinated him were the extreme polarities: simplicity versus great complexity, folksiness versus anarchic avant-garde sound effects, the contrast between programme music and abstract music. This presented Ashkenazy with a
fascinating interpretative challenge both intellectual and musical.

The programme of the Sinfonia domestica depicts a day (including night and love) in the life of the Strauss family, painted on a broad symphonic canvas. However, Ashkenazy explored the work as music per se; for him the programme was of secondary importance, merely throwing a little light on the composer’s personality. That music has meaning in its abstract configurations was obvious to him
from very early on.

The performance of Mozart’s A major Violin Concerto K 219 reveals the full extent of the unsual strong musical chemistry between Pinchas Zukerman and Vladimir Ashkenazy: Soloist and conductor perform on the basis of a totally shared concept of the work. This is no surprise: Zukerman and Ashkenazy knew each other well, frequently playing chamber music together during the 1990s.

Vladimir Ashkenazy was the chief conductor of what is now the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin from 1989 to 1999.
This CD brings together live concert recordings made during the middle of his tenure and in his last season with the orchestra.

モーツァルトのヴァイオリン協奏曲第5番は...

投稿日:2008/07/04 (金)

モーツァルトのヴァイオリン協奏曲第5番はとてもいい曲だけど、いまひとつしっくりくる録音がない・・・と思っていたら、思わぬところから素晴らしい録音が出ました。ズーカーマンの艶やかな音色といい、アシュケナージの軽快明瞭の指揮といい実にいい!おまけにR.シュトラウスの家庭交響曲もオーケストラの音色が抜群!これはオススメです!

両曲ともなかなかの好演です。モーツァルトの伴奏がよく整ったアンサンブルを聴かせてくれています。シュトラウスは、最後でややオケが疲れてきているところもありますが、様々な性格の違いがよく弾き分けられた熱演だと思います。
