Larry Kart Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Another top-notch Berg Chamber Concerto recording, maybe the best I know, is Libor Pesek's rec. 1965 (Quintessence LP, origjnally on Supraphon) with Zdenek Kozina piano and Ivan Straus violin, coupled with an excellent recording of the Berg Violin Concerto, with Josef Suk and Ancerl, also from 1965. Kozina really nails the piano part. Above all, everyone on the Pesek Chamber Concerto recording plays out -- on the Boulez Columbia recording with Barenboim, for example, the players in the ensemble sound like they're afraid to make a mistake. I would say that a certain Central European juiciness is what's called for, as though the work were Mozart's Gran Partita k. 361. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Mozart K. 617 Adagio and Rondo for glass harmonica, flute, oboe, viola, and cello, played here by Ensemble Baroque de Paris on celeste (Robert Veyron-Lacroix), flute (Maxence Larrieu) , oboe (Pierre Pierlot), violin (Robert Gendre), and bassoon (Paul Honge). Lovely performance of a relatively brief (9:47 in this recording) hauntingly beautiful work. It's in Mozart's Masonic music vein. Rec. 1975, Denon, o.o.p. Rest of this CD -- J.C. Bach, Quantz, Haydn, etc. is excellent too. These were superb players, and they picked very good pieces to play, BTW the use of the celeste rather than the glass harmonica is all for the best IMO; the sound of the latter instrument can make your fillings ache.
