Ori Kam: viola TELEMANN: Fantasies Nos. 1–12, TWV 40 Georg Philipp Telemann published his “12 Fantasies” for solo violin in Hamburg in 1735. These pieces place him firmly in the tradition, established in the late 17 th century, of such renowned violinists as Carlo Ambrogio Lonati, Francesco Geminiani, Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, and Johann Paul von Westhoff, culminating with J.S. Bach, who published his famous cycles of sonatas and partitas for solo violin around 1720. The focal point of such works was to produce rich contrapuntal harmonies on a solo melody instrument in music that went beyond pure practice pieces and captivated its listeners. Telemann succeeded in this by avoiding virtuosic acrobatics by the instrumentalist and instead allowing the catchy tunes and dance rhythms to prevail. This recording features Ori Kam, brother of clarinetist Sharon Kam, playing a version for solo viola in which the pieces have been transposed down by a fifth but are otherwise unchanged. The tone of the viola, warm in the lower register and possessing brilliance in the high notes, lends the works a new dimension of expression in comparison to the original. Ori Kam, playing in the Jesus-Christus Church in Berlin, draws from his instrument a sound that transcends all constraint and lets the listener simply float away with the music. Gould Piano Trio Lucy Gould: violin Alice Neary: cello Benjamin Frith: piano BEETHOVEN: Trio, Op. 1, No. 2 • Allegretto, WoO 39 • Variations, Op. 44 • Trio, Op. 70, No. 1 “Ghost” “The joyous ebullience of the Piano Trio in G, Op. 1 No. 2, with its expansive first movement, set the tone for the evening—the strings filled with warmth, the piano sound exquisite. The Largo con espressione glowed; the Scherzo lived up to its name, and the tempo seemed spot-on for the energetic Finale … Then it was on to the big-name work of the evening: the Ghost Trio. The initial furor of the opening theme was explosive, and there was a real sense of the music wanting to take flight … The terrific Presto was met with cheers suggesting an audience twice the size.” — BBC Music magazine This dynamic group, which celebrates its 20 th anniversary this year, has been exploring the remarkable variety displayed in the Beethoven Trios in many of their concerts over the years. SOMM has recorded them live at the famous St. George’s Concert Hall, Bristol, before capacity audiences and these concerts have been a huge success. Volume 1 will launch the Trio’s 20 th anniversary celebrations! release date: July 10, 2012 Berlin classics Georg philip teLeMAnn 12 fantasies for solo viola Cat # BER 300390 Price Code: S (SRP $18.99) Number of Discs: 1 Jewel Case, Box Lot 25 5% pReORDeR DIsCOUnt D U.s.
