Didier Poskin: cello
KBS Symphony Orchestra
Patrick Davin: conductor
SERVAIS: Morceau de Concert, Op. 14 (CD premiere) • Fantaisie
Burlesque sur le Carnaval de Venise, Op. 9 (CD premiere) • La Romanesca
(CD premiere) • Cello Conerto in B minor, Op. 5
Includes three CD premieres! The “Paganini of the cello” was how
Berlioz and Rossini rated François Servais, one of the principal architects
of the development of cello technique in the 19 th century. Like Paganini,
he wrote a substantial concert repertoire for his instrument, thus making
up for the dearth of specific cello literature in the Romantic period; it is a
great joy to discover some of his key concertante works here, performed
by one of his most eminent interpreters. Ably supported by the orchestra
of the Korean Broadcasting System under the baton of Patrick Davin,
who has been much admired for his contribution to the recording of the
complete Vieuxtemps violin concertos, here is a discovery that should
excite all lovers of panache and diabolical virtuosity!
Fuzjko (Ingrid Fuzjko-Hemming): piano
LISZT: Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat, S. 124 • GRIEG: Piano Concerto
in A minor, Op. 16 (1 st mvt) • Other works by Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin,
D. Scarlatti, Debussy, Schumann & Schubert
“There is no secret to her appeal: Fuzjko is not just playing the piano;
she is using the music to make love, seeming to enter a romantic reverie
to find and unfold the music’s beauties and intentions.” — Gramophone
This box set, which includes the albums Echoes of Eternity, La
Campanella, Nocturnes of Melancholy, Live At Carnegie Hall, Liszt Piano
Concerto No. 1, and Fuzjko’s self-titled album, contains works by Chopin,
Liszt, Debussy, Schubert, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Scarlatti, Brahms,
and Schumann. Four of these CDs received Classical Album of the Year
at the Japan Gold Disc Awards, a feat never before accomplished!
