Conversations with Mozart: In His Own Words , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a child prodigy who became an adult genius, died in debt and was buried in an unmarked grave in his adopted home of Vienna. Mozart needed no formal lessons in composition. He’d been composing since the age of five, and possessed astonishing musical memory, able to re-create whatever he heard or saw. He could mimic different styles and his travels, which were endless, gave him plenty to imitate whether sacred, dramatic or instrumental. As he said, ‘I can pretty well adapt or conform myself to any style or composition.’ He was not the tortured artist but could compose whilst playing billiards or skittles, ordering the musical ideas in his head so exactly that writing them down was a slightly mechanical affair, requiring little effort. The music was there in its entirety in his head. Mozart struggled with relationships, revealing a strong sense of abandonment beneath the surface. Quick to judge, he possessed a sharp manner himself, but saw only the upset that others caused him. He had a long list of foes and his battles with them he describes in much detail. A difficult relationship with his controlling father Leopold was partially offset by a happy marriage to Constanze, a genuine oasis in a world he found frustrating. Mozart was a phenomenal performer as well as composer, enjoying moments of great adulation. But these never turned into financial security. For this reason, he was a reluctant piano teacher throughout his life. ‘Conversations with Mozart’ is an imagined conversation with the man behind the music who died largely unnoticed at the age of 35. But while the questions are imagined, Mozart’s words are not; they are all authentically his, taken from his many letters. He was the eternal child. As his sister Nanerl said, ‘Outside of music he was, and remained, nearly always a child.’ But he was a child with a seat at the very top composers’ table; a conduit for the most perfectly shaped musical argument, sublime harmonies and w ungekürzt.

Kegelstatt Trio/Fairy Tales/Solider's Tale/Contras
Thomas Hill, clarinet Lynn Chang, violin Marcus Thompson, viola Randall Hodgkinson, piano (Mozart, Schumann) Mihae Lee, piano (Stravinsky, Bartók) Mozart's K. 498 trio in E-flat major was completed on August 5, 1786 and the sobriquet "Kegelstatt" comes to the piece because of the intriguing but not proven legend that Mozart conceived and completed the entire piece in his mind during a game of skittles, also known as "keggles." The work itself-an astounding instance of internal musical cohesion as well as the prowess of feminine delicacy-is in three movements: a stately, confident Andante, characterized by a persistent and elegant groupetto figure, a blissful, almost defiant little Menuetto, and finally a soaring, noble Rondo which sings from beginning to end and which as Alfred Einstein wrote "does not only satisfy the listener, but leaves him enchanted." The title of Schumann's Märchenerzählungen ("Fairy Tales") tells us that these lyrical miniatures are character pieces intended to suggest favorite stories of childhood. However, if Schumann had any particular tales or situations in mind, he never identified them, and we can enjoy the music without being burdened by such details. The characters who were most active in the mythical Davidsbünd, Schumann's early "invention" to fight the good fight against the philistines of German artistic life, were the heroic Florestan and the dreamy Eusebius. Their personalities are still evident in the music composed in the fall of 1853, particularly in the third movement (Eusebius) and the final movement, in which one can imagine Schumann and his heroic Florestan marching out one last time against the forces of philistinism. L'Histoire du Soldat ("The Soldier's Tale") is from a time when Stravinsky's artistic biological clock was turning his creative bent against his own penchant for Russian folk material. The original orchestration (violin, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, double bass, percussion, and narrator) was specifically designed so that the work could be presented as an easily toured theatre piece. In Stravinsky's own paring down for the trio reduction, a large part of the "missing" instrumentation is relegated to the virtuosic piano part, although the clarinet inherits significant bits of trumpet, bassoon and trombone utterances while retaining responsibility for it's own role in the original version. The violin role remains the fiendish tour de force that it is in the original rendering, and the piano and clarinet parts are, at the very least, eminent undertakings. Bartók's Contrasts was commissioned by Benny Goodman and Joseph Szigeti. Far from trying to blend the three very different types of instruments into a single complex sonority, Bartók exploits the difference in sound production. The Verbunkos was a musical genre employed to encourage enlistments in the Hungarian army in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, featuring sharply dotted rhythms in a slow march tempo. The Verbunkos ends with a clarinet cadenza leading on to the languid slow movement, in which piano and clarinet begin by mirroring one another, while the piano contributes soft percussive tremolos inspired by Balinese gamelan music. The fast dance, Sebes, begins with a short passage on a scordatura violin (with the E-string tuned to E-flat and the G-string to G-sharp), following which the violin is directed to return to a second, normally tuned instrument. The outer sections of the dance are in a lively 2/4 meter, but the extended middle section uses what is often called "Bulgarian rhythm" which Bartók learned in his folk music studies. When the original 2/4 returns, the dance gets wilder and wilder before reaching it's brilliant conclusion. / Edited from CD liner notes by Thomas Hill (Mozart & Stravinsky) and Steven Ledbetter (Schumann & Bartók) About Boston Chamber Music Society: Founded in 1982 by a group of enthusiastic music colleagues, Boston Chamber Music Society, BCMS, is an ensemble of superb musicians who come together in different combinations to prepare and perform chamber music. Over the last twenty plus seasons, BCMS has built a reputation for impassioned performances, ripened over time by the long personal and professional histories of it's member musicians. While they are all celebrated soloists, their primary passion remains the rich and extensive chamber music repertoire. BCMS invites guest musicians, chosen for their particular affinity for, and mastery of, the works they will play, to join the members, expanding the artistic possibilities to virtually all works in the chamber music repertoire. BCMS presents the most extensive and longest-running concert series in Boston's musically fertile region and is distinguished for it's enduring performance standards. The ensemble playing demonstrates the perfect combination of control and freedom that comes from years of collaboration: individual musical personalities find expression without dominating. The effect is one of the miracles of music-sheer aesthetic beauty.- Shop: odax
