“Never before have Mutter and Orkis seemed so joined at the hip, giving and taking, conducting dialogue, chasing each others’ thoughts . . . She plays with a new degree of maturity and depth, especially visible in the slow movements. The disc’s high point is the adagio from the first sonata, in G major, where Mutter’s gold thread is reduced to a dusky murmur before shifting through tones as subtle as they are various. Orkis’s contribution is equally vital, whether keeping pace with limpid filigree or, at the close, pedalling up a penumbra of resonance to balance Mutter’s whispers. Magical music-making, this. Elsewhere, Mutter shows that she is able to become passionately alive without shaking with neuroses. In the third sonata, in D minor, the finale lives up to Brahms’s instruction -- "presto agitato" -- but never races over the top. Throughout, speeds and dynamics are controlled with regard for the music’s inner substance, not its outward show . . .” The Times (London)

Most of Abbado's work at Lucerne has appeared on DVD, and this latest hews to the series' high video standards. What we see, astride this greatest of festival orchestras, is not a frail man, but rather, one pared down to essentials, a perfect match for his music-making. Lest that sound like this late music is austere or desiccated, followers of this decade-plus festival adventure will recognize the refined sonorities at its heart - pianissimi-like rays from a remote region of space, obliterating fortissimi, and sounds glowing everywhere on the spectrum between. Orchestral music has rarely been this alive. --Timothy Pfaff, Bay Area Reporter

Emil Gilels: Live in Moscow, Vol. 1 - Brahms/Schumann/Mendelssohn [DVD]

Recital from the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory 1983. Gilels (1916-1985) was one of the 20th century's foremost pianists. Like many Russian artists of his era, he was virtually unknown in the West until the cultural thaw of the mid-'50s. Though Gilels' repertoire was far-ranging, the music of the German Romantic era benefited particularly from his burnished tone, strong technique and unfussy yet elegant musicianship. The 1983 recital preserved on this DVD is devoted to the music of Schumann, Brahms, and Mendelssohn, including Brahms' Paganini Variations (Book I) and Schumann's Symphonic Etudes.
