Schumann is at his most Beethovenian in these chamber works, symphonic on a chamber canvas, forging big, noble themes that are susceptible to a vast range of unexpected complexities and developments. Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov and Israel's Jerusalem Quartet deliver tight readings that are fully competitive with those by better-known combinations. They sacrifice a bit of the broad, Beethovenian quality in favor of a certain incisive flavor, crafting distinctive interpretations and working them out in detail. Sample the opening movement of the Piano Quintet (track 5), which as a whole clocks in at 28:24, perhaps a minute under the average. It has a restless quality that expands into a driving, almost demonic quality in the scherzo. Certainly this is not an unfamiliar flavor for Schumann, but to apply it to these abstract...Hide synopsis

Description:BRAND NEW. Celebrated tenor Mark Padmore and the Britten...BRAND NEW. Celebrated tenor Mark Padmore and the Britten Sinfonia present a program featuring some of the most beautiful English music for voice and orchestra ever written. The centerpiece is Benjamin Britten's magical evocation of twilight and nightfall, the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, Op.31, for which he is joined by the dulcet tones of Stephen Bell on French horn. Completing the disc are Gerald Finzi's song-cycle Dies Natalis, with its ecstatic mood reflecting a child's wide-eyed wonder at the world, and Britten's fourth and final orchestral song cycle, the poignant Nocturne, Op.60. Long associated with the great Peter Pears, Padmore makes this music his own in stunning performances that welcome comparison to any singer, past or present. "There's no denying the affinity and rightness of this music under Padmore's voice. We really were driven 'almost mad with ecstasy, ' secure in his musical architecture and tonal control."-The Arts Desk, UK, concert review.
