Popular Post lairdo 740 Posted June 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2022 Presto also made this the Release of the Week and posted a short review. This paragraph I think accurately describes the power of the concerto and why repeated listens are so enjoyable. "Reviews of the premiere performance mentioned that the work was so full of ideas that it never quite seemed to settle down and was hard to grasp on first hearing. I agree to the extent that it took me multiple listenings to appreciate the sheer range of its invention, but I think that ultimately attests to its strength – it constantly teems with new material, none of which outstays its welcome, merely revealing more of its secrets each time. No small amount of credit must also go to Mutter, who unfailingly holds the listener to attention and is in complete command of what she has described as some unbelievably technically challenging passages. Knowing her so intimately as a performer has clearly been a source of inspiration for Williams, whose writing is tailor-made to her abilities, particularly her sweet-toned, fast vibrato that is deployed to tremendous effect throughout, from the quasi-improvisatory, jazz-inflected opening section of the Prologue to the delicate, serene conclusion to the fourth movement Epilogue (in the composer's own words, "a gentle resolution in A major that might suggest both healing and renewal")." 5 hours ago, BB-8 said: Some words from Anne-Sophie related to today's album release (BR Klassik, Germany): https://www.br-klassik.de/aktuell/news-kritik/anne-sophie-mutter-cd-john-williams-100.html That's a lovely article. ----- Have we seen this Williams-Mutter logo before that is in the booklet?
