Violence and Nature in Two Orchestral Works by Alban Berg and Hans Werner Henze – Symphonic Opera for the Concert Hall 

Similar to the Fragments from “Wozzeck” from a decade earlier, in Five Symphonic Pieces from the Opera “Lulu” Berg compiled a considerable 

amount of music from his second opera, based on Frank Wedekind’s dramas Erdgeist (Earth Spirit) and Die Büchse der Pandora 

(Pandora’s Box), and arranged it for orchestra with solo voice. The work’s core, both in musical and numerical terms, is the third movement, 

Lied der Lulu (Song of Lulu), in which the title heroine describes herself as a sort of female Don Juan. Nonetheless, a few people around her 

– Dr. Schön, Alwa, Schigolch, and Countess Geschwitz – are ruined not by the insatiable sexual appetite of the femme fatale, but rather by 

the projection of their own inner fantasies in a restrictive middle-class world: “If men have killed on my behalf, my value is undiminished”, 

as Lulu sings. Alban Berg would seem to have agreed, building the musical and dramatic centre of the work from her twelve-tone row. 

Permutations to Lulu’s row allow the composer to construct the identifying music for his title character’s various lovers. 

The orchestral piece Appassionatamente plus by Hans Werner Henze also owes its existence to an opera: The composer wrote his Das verratene 

Meer (The Sea Betrayed), after the novel by Yukio Mishima (Gogo no eiko in Japanese) between 1986 and 1989, revising the score in 

2003. The composer had already taken purely instrumental interludes from the original version of the opera, uniting them in 1994 in his 

orchestral fantasy Appassionatamente. Parallel with his 2003 revision to the opera itself, Henze wrote an expanded version of its derivative, 

now called Appassionatamente plus. As in Alban Berg’s suite from Lulu, which Henze himself has conducted, and as in a kaleidoscope that 

has been rearranged, the essential figures and dramatic events from the opera remain present, even in music that is strictly instrumental. 

Stefan Soltesz 

Was born in Hungary and moved as a child to Vienna. He studied conducting with Hans Swarowsky at the Vienna Academy of Music, where 

he also had training in composition and piano. His artistic career was launched in 1971, as Kapellmeister at the Theater an der Wien, followed 

by engagements as répétiteur and conductor at the Vienna State Opera (1973-1983) and as guest conductor at the Opera House in Graz 

(1979-1981). During three editions of the Salzburg Festival, in 1978, 1979 and 1983, he worked as a musical assistant to Karl Böhm, Christoph 

von Dohnányi and Herbert von Karajan. 

Stefan Soltesz held the position of regular conductor at the Hamburg State Opera (1983-1985) and at the German Opera Berlin (1985-1997). 

He served as general music director of the State Theatre of Brunswick from 1988-1993 and as chief conductor of the Flemish Opera in 

Antwerp and Ghent from 1992-1997. Since 1997, he has served as the general music director of the Essener Philharmoniker and as director 

of the Aalto Theatre. 

Stefan Soltesz is a frequent guest conductor at the Vienna State Opera and at the major opera houses of Germany, for instance in Berlin, 

Dresden, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, and Stuttgart. He also appears at the Netherlands Opera Amsterdam, the Bilbao Opera, the Opéra de 

Paris, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, the Teatro Bellini in Catania, the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Washington and 

San Francisco opera houses, the Zürich Opera, and at festivals in Montpellier, Aix-en-Provence and Savonlinna (Finland). Stefan Soltesz has 

led broadcast and concert performances in Berlin, Dresden, Genoa, Hanover, Hamburg, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rome, Turin, and Vienna. His 

discography includes operas by Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Gazzaniga and Alexander von Zemlinsky, as well as arias and Lieder with Grace 

Bumbry, Lucia Popp and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Stefan Soltesz was conferred the honorary title “Citizen of the Ruhr District” in 2009, in 

appreciation of his service to the Essen metropolitan area. In 2010, the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia gave him the title Professor 

honoris causa.

Description: 

Hans Werner Henze: Requiem (Edition Artists in Conversation Vol. 3) - Professional and Private Lives 

Program 

Music: Hans Werner Henze (* 1926): Requiem 

Neun geistliche Konzerte for Piano solo, Trumpet concertante and large Chamber Orchestra (1990-92) [67:24 Min.] 

(Live recording, June 12, 2010 - Philharmonie Essen, Germany) 

Voice Recordings: Mirjam Wiesemann in conversation with Hans Werner Henze in his house in Marino (2010) and with Henze’s 

friend and assistant Michael Kerstan [Duration of the conversations ca. 96 minutes] 

The Requiem from the early 1990s, a late, evening-length work by Hans Werner Henze, marked a significant turning point for 

its composer. The score is dedicated to the memory of Michael Vyner, the one-time director of the London Sinfonietta. Death is, 

for Henze, a fact of life. “Paradise is here, or should be here, not hereafter, when nothing happens” is his image of a better world. 

That the cycle closes with a hymn to life is thus only logical. The aural wonder of this composition, very much of this world, rests 

in its richness of colours and sounds, resembling a magical garden filled with longing and redemption, one apparently not of this 

world, at least not for listeners who believe in religious redemption. 

In addition to a recording of the Requiem, this set includes nearly hundred minutes of conversations, covering both professional 

and private lives, between Mirjam Wiesemann and Hans Werner Henze, as well as Michael Kerstan, recorded at the house of 

Hans Werner Henze in Marino, near Rome, in August 2010.

Alexander Brailowsky (piano) with the Boston Symphony Orchestra,

Rudolf Serkin (piano) with the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra 

Of New York, Dimitri Mitropoulos (conductor) 

This second release in Guild’s series of Historic ‘Three Great Pianists’ recordings 

features live performances from Alexander Brailowsky, Shura Cherkassky and 

Rudolf Serkin, recorded between 1945 and 1958, and intriguingly including two 

performance of Liszt’s virtuoso ‘Don Giovanni’ Fantasy played by Cherkassky. 

Throughout this CD, here is pianism of a consistently high quality, from three 

masters of the keyboard from the latter half of the 20th-century. The conductors - 

Serge Koussevitsky in the Mozart, and Dmitri Mitropoulos in the Richard Strauss 

- were themselves amongst the greatest to hold senior positions with two great 

American orchestras, lending artistry to this release which is quite unique.

NBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Arturo Toscanini 

& FAREWELL 

AREWELL CONCERTS ONCERTS 

This double album constitutes one of the most important issues of Toscanini’s 

recorded legacy in that it combines in these two CDs the first ever broadcast 

concert the Maestro gave with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, an orchestra 

founded expressly for him in 1937 in New York, and the last - his final appearance 

with the Orchestra in April 1954. A great deal of interest therefore attaches to these 

two events, combined for the first time as a commercially issued package - a true 

‘hail and farewell’ (Ave Atque Vale) to the art of the conductor whom many 

reagard as the greatest of all. 

RUDOLF UDOLF GANZ ANZ AS PIANIST IANIST AND 

AND CONDUCTOR ONDUCTOR 

Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rudolph Ganz 

Rudolph Ganz (piano) 

Rudolf Ganz (1876-1972) was one of the most remarkable Swiss musicians of the 

20th-century, as pianist, teacher and conductor. From his earliest days he knew, 

performed and recorded music by the latest composers before World War I, and 

when he went to America he was conductor of the New York Philharmonic and 

Chicago Symphony Orchestras for many years. He continued to give concerts in 

his 80s as a pianist, and the range of his achievements is considerable. This new 

CD is a magnificent tribute to a great musician, friend of Bartok, Korngold and 

Busoni - Ravel dedicated one of his most famous piano works to Ganz - and 

conductor who gave the world premieres of music by Copland and Elliott Carter, 

among many others. On this CD, we have recordings from piano rolls of 1913, and 

a very rare performance of Grieg’s ‘Holberg Suite’ recorded in the USA in the late 

1940s. There are rare photographs and the booklet notes are 

fascinatingly detailed. A most important record.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF LIGHT MUSIC 

Confetti 

The word ‘confetti’ describes small pieces of 

paper, of various shapes and colours, often 

thrown by guests at weddings. In musical 

terms it can equally apply to an assortment of 

pieces in different styles, conveying a variety 

of moods and emotions. In other words, 

almost a haphazard collection of tunes with no 

particular theme, except perhaps that they are 

all a little different. During the compilation of 

Guild Light Music CDs we sometimes come 

across enjoyable pieces of music which 

simply don’t fit in with particular projects, 

and once more it is time to dust off some 

precious discs patiently awaiting rediscovery. 

Actually ‘rediscovery’ may not be entirely 

accurate as some have never previously been 

available commercially and, for most of the 

others, this is their first appearance on CD, so 

it is unlikely that the majority 

of music-lovers will have 

heard them before. GLCD 5175 

From The Vintage Vaults 

The title of this CD could almost apply to 

every release in Guild’s “Golden Age of 

Light Music” series so far, because our 

mission is to make available once again those 

recordings which have been neglected for far 

too long, and are no longer available from 

other sources. Famous composers of 

symphonies, marches, jazz and just about 

everything in-between can be found in this 

varied selection, mainly from the inter-war 

years, which surely qualifies for the adjective 

‘eclectic’. If anyone still needs convincing 

that the general term ‘Light Music’ covers a 

wide variety of styles and performances, then 

surely the proof is here on this CD. The 

featured composers range from Sir Edward 

Elgar and Vaughan Williams, to Ernst 

Fischer, Reginald King and John Philip 

Sousa.

PIANO MUSIC BY AMY BEACH VOL. 3 - THE MATURE YEARS 

KIRSTEN JOHNSON (PIANO) 

This third disc of Amy Beach’s complete piano music, performed by 

Kirsten Johnson, represents her compositional output from 1907 to 1924. 

Amy Beach (American, 1867-1944) is one of the great woman composers of 

all time. Including the masterful Prelude and Fugue, op. 81, the concert 

piece Fantasia Fugata, op. 87, and many beguiling piano miniatures, this is 

a disc not to miss. Farewell Autumn and Dancing Leaves, op. 102, are 

world première recordings, as are also Lotus Isles (unpublished 

manuscript) and Blackbird Hills, op. 83. These forgotten pieces by this 

world-renowned composer are now available for the first time. The piano 

talents of Kirsten Johnson bring this music to life with technical brilliance, 

sympathetic interpretation and musical depth.

PROSPERO’S ISLE - CHAMBER MUSIC BY JAMES FRANCIS BROWN 

TAMÁS ANDRÁS, JACK LIEBECK (VIOLINS), SARAH-JANE BRADLEY (VIOLA), 

GEMMA ROSEFIELD (CELLO), NICOLA EIMER, KATYA APEKISHEVA (PIANOS) 

James Francis Brown has established a reputation as a composer of exciting, 

visionary and emotionally rewarding music. His Piano Quartet has become a 

popular addition to the repertoire - as testified by the Birmingham Post 

review: “Hushed, close-harmony string passages danced and fizzed, while climaxes 

broke with torrential force and gleaming string-tone. The great sweep up to Brown’s 

sonorous finish was superbly paced and delivered with breathtaking verve. 

Enthusiastic applause greeted what would prove to be the high point of the evening.” 

The Shakespeare-inspired Prospero’s Isle, described as ‘lyrically suave’ by 

Paul Driver in The Times and a ‘unique voice [with] a grand elegiac quality’ by 

The Strad, forms the dramatic centre piece of this CD - qualities which are 

equally abundant in the Violin Sonata and the String Trio. 

This recording reflects the composer’s close association with some of today’s 

most talented and celebrated artists on the international scene - most of 

whom presented the premieres of these works: Katya Apekisheva, Gemma 

Rosefield, Nicola Eimer, Tamás András, Sarah-Jane 

Bradley and Classical Brit Award winner Jack Liebeck, deliver stunning performances in music which 

makes many emotional and technical demands. This is a tour de force of contemporary virtuosity and 

lyrical intensity. GMCD 7354 

THE MUSICAL COLOURS OF THE GUITAR 

JENS STIBAL (GUITAR) 

Stibal is one of the most admired of the younger generation of guitarists 

from Germany, and on this outstanding new recording he presents a varied 

programme of masterpieces for the classical guitar, founded upon the 

recent Spanish school but including popular works by other composers 

who felt compelled to write for the instrument. The result is a magnificent 

CD, exceptionally well recorded, of virtuoso and sensitive performances of 

familiar and unfamiliar pieces, has each item chosen and guaranteed to 

impress the discerning listener. The title of the disc - Colours of the Guitar 

- encapsulates the nature of the attractive music which fills this very 

desirable record admirably.

In the unusual instrumentation of piano and percussion the pianist Christof Moser from Nenzing in Vorarlberg, together with percussionists

Salon de Vienne 

Thomas Albertus Irnberger 

Jörg Demus 

Musik aus Wien, der Metropole der Donaumonarchie, war nie so vielfältig und von solch unterschiedlichen Strömungen geprägt 

wie zur Zeit der letzten Jahrhundertwende. Diese Einspielung spannt einen Bogen von rumänischen und ungarischen Volkstänzen 

Bartóks und Brahms‘ über Walzer von Johann Strauß Sohn sowie Richard Strauss‘ Rosenkavalier-Walzer, ein Lied aus Des 

Knaben Wunderhorn von Gustav Mahler und Stücken von Lehár, Goldmark und Janáček bis hin zu Evergreens wie Schön 

Rosmarin oder Liebesleid von Fritz Kreisler. Dass dabei die Grenzziehung zwischen ernster Musik, Salon- und Unterhaltungsmusik 

noch schwer fällt, macht Thomas Albertus Irnberger mit dieser CD durch sein lebhaftes und stilsicheres Spiel erfahr- bzw. erhörbar. 

Music from Vienna, the metropolis of the Danube Monarchy, has never been so diverse and characterized by such different currents 

than at the time of the turn of the last century. This recording traces an arc from Romanian and Hungarian folk dances by 

Bartók and Brahms, via waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr., Richard Strauss’ Rosenkavalier Waltz, a song from Des Knaben 

Wunderhorn by Gustav Mahler and pieces by Lehár, Goldmark and Janáček to evergreens such as Schön Rosmarin or Liebesleid 

by Fritz Kreisler. On this CD, Thomas Albertus Irnberger’s brisk performance with an assured sense of style demonstrates how difficult 

it is to draw the line between serious music, salon music and entertainment music.

Francis Poulenc dont la qualité première est d’être humaine, une musique qui n’appartient à 

aucune école, n’obéit à aucun système mais où chacun de nous peut se reconnaître. 

For the great fan of colours Francis Poulenc, having a predilection for wind instruments is not 

surprising. Hence, as usual, it is life that triumphs in Francis Poulenc’s music. Its first merit 

is to be human. It belongs to no school, does not obey the rules of a system, but in which 

we can individually see ourselves.

The Complete Chamber Music works with winds, demonstrates that Saint- 

Saëns is the origin of the wordlwide famous “french winds tradition”. In a 

century mostly inspired by german romantic orchestral pieces, Saint-Saëns 

considered the wind instruments on the same level as violin and piano. In the 

evening of his life, aged eighty-five, Saint-Saëns came back to wind sonatas. 

Although being very classical, the three 1921 sonatas announce the “Groupe 

des Six” neo-classicism, and particularly Poulenc. In that respect, even at the 

very end of his life, Saint-Saëns stands as an innovator.

“frankly, I know of no better performance, on historical 

pianos or modern ones" 

International Record Review 

“This series continues to be most impressive. Vermeulen 

must be the ideal Schubert player, and the instrument, a 

superbly restored Streicher und Sohn of 1826, has an 

astonishing range of dynamics form a powerful 

fortissimo to an especially beautiful pianissimo, and it 

has a wonderful clarity of articulation. “ 

Early Music Review 

Vilain XIIII’s six-octave straight-strung Streicher has 

an intimate sound, precise articulation and a 

transparent bass register and is therefore perfectly 

suited to the music of the Viennese early Ro- 

mantics Beethoven and Schubert, the latter in 

particular. The recording of the complete solo 

piano works of Franz Schubert on this first-class 

period instrument is a project that originated with 

perfect logic from the cycle of concerts devoted to 

Schubert’s works that Jan Vermeulen has given for 

the Cultural Centre Maasmechelen since 2003 and 

from the increasing realisation of the particular 

historical qualities of the instrument.

Cellist Roel Dieltiens received his education 

in Antwerp and Detmold; he promptly 

achieved international appreciation, and 

nowadays he is considered to be one of the 

main authorities both on modern and on 

Baroque cello. 

His strong personality, combined with his 

overwhelming musicianship and his 

unconventional approach have brought him 

from the outset of his career to perform in 

the most important concert venues 

worldwide (Paris, Berlin, London, New York, 

Moscow, Tokyo). 

Roel Dieltiens teaches cello at the 

Hochschule der Künste in Zürich and he is 

often invited to be a judge in such 

international competitions as the Leipzig 

Bach Wettbewerb and the Moscow 

Tchaikovsky Competition.

The Egidius Quartet was founded in 1995 by four 

members of Ton Koopman’s Amsterdam Baroque 

Choir with the aim of performing Renaissance and 

contemporary music from the Low Countries (in the 

broadest possible sense). The quartet was named 

after Egidius, an elegiac character from one of the 

most beautiful Middle Dutch poems contained in the 

so-called Gruythuys Manuscript.

and has participated in masterclasses with 

Joshua Bell, Midori, Leonidas Kavakos and

Misha Dichter proclaimed Jeannette Koekkoek 

“a fireball, a natural pianist.” Fulfilling her 

vision and flare for collaborative relationships, 

Jeannette Koekkoek founded the Netherlands 

Piano Quartet, the Sagee Piano Trio, the 

Trompenberg Ensemble, and the Koekkoek- 

Schatborn Duo. 

Jeannette Koekkoek’s depth and range as an 

artist is extended to her commitment to 

teach: “I want to challenge students to 

stimulate self-knowledge and artistic truth. 

From the recognition and acceptance of who 

they are, they can grow to a higher level 

as a musician and person.” Pedagogical 

experiences include those at the Amsterdam 

Conservatory, the New England Conservatory, 

The New World School of the Arts, and the 

Indiana University Summer String Academy.

Hartmut Haenchen's musical integrity has 

assured him a place in the forefront of 

musical life. Brought up in the former East 

Germany, he has seen his career reborn in 

the new Europe, where his breadth of 

experience and depth of understanding 

have won respect, while audiences have 

warmed to the humanity of his 

interpretations. He is particularly renowned 

and respected for his interpretations of 

Richard Strauss, Wagner and Mahler. 

Despite the severe restrictions of the old 

East German regime, Hartmut Haenchen 

was given special permission to work with 

the West’s finest ensembles, including the 

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Continual 

interference by the authorities, however, led 

to severe setbacks in his career and he 

subsequently made his home in the 

Netherlands, where a new public 

recognised his genius, and where 

eventually he became Music Director of 

both the Netherlands Philharmonic and the 

Netherlands Opera. In October 2008 he was 

awarded the Federal Cross of Merit of the 

German Republic, in recognition of his 

outstanding contribution to music and the 

arts.

� Noszferatu are on tour in November to promote their debut album ‘Drempel’. Concerts include Birmingham 

Conservatoire 15.11.10; London The Forge (London Jazz Festival) 16.11.10; Cafe Oto, London 19.11.10; 

and Huddersfield Festival 21.11.10 (a special collaboration with Frederic Rzewski and Howard Skempton). 

� Noszferatu formed in 2001. They were originally called Nosferatu but early on faced a legal threat of great ferocity 

from a goth rock band of the same name and so added the z. 

� The four members of Noszferatu met at Durham University when they were students in the early 1990s. As well as 

being heavily involved in the contemporary classical scene they also often collaborate in other musical genres such as 

jazz, pop, physical theatre and tango. 

� ‘Let op! drempels’ means ‘watch out for the ramp’ in Dutch. 

This lively recording by the ‘collective’ Noszferatu represents a cross-section of repertoire by some of the UK’s best 

experimental composers. From the haunting minimalism of Howard Skempton’s In Tandem and Andrew Poppy’s How the 

Hammer Felt to the jazz-fuelled improvisation of Finn Peters’ The Horses Screamed and Dave Price’s insanely brilliant 

Lee’s Game. 

This recording will appeal to fans of ensembles such as Kronos Quartet and Alarm Will Sound plus experimental 

musicians such as Asa Chang and Polar Bear.

Zuzana Lapčíková / Marija Panna 

přečistá/ Purest Virgin Mary 

Advent and Christmas songs from 

Moravia 

Zuzana Lapčíková – voice, cimbaloms; Josef Fečo – double-bass, cimbalom; Rostislav Fraš – saxophone; 

Ivan Herák – violin, viola; Ondrej Krajňák – piano; Kamil Slezák – percussion 

The Advent and Christmas songs from the workshop of Zuzana Lapčíková reflect perhaps all her musical 

positions known to date (as a singer and cimbalom player with a penchant for seeking inspiration in jazz 

and across genres). Yet the Christmas high-spiritedness is frequently supplemented by intimate chamber 

mood, humility and solemnity. Besides several sprightly “catchy” pieces, she often soberly makes use of 

the superlative co-players of her jazz quintet for tranquil duets. Her singing is the golden thread 

accompanying us throughout – a singing sharing pure joy, elsewhere humility before the Creator and 

evoking the silent tenderness with which the Virgin Mary looks upon the Infant. Few know as much about 

Moravian carols as Zuzana Lapčíková does; even fewer are able to retell them with such understanding 

and feeling. Christmas joy, however, is the culmination of four weeks of Advent contemplation and 

expectation. The Advent songs selected for this recording from Baroque hymn-books wondrously fuse 

“artful creation” with the magic poetics of folk, verbally handed-down songs. You will surely become fond 

of some of them at first hearing; with others you will discover more and more beautiful details at each 

listen – and quite possibly, you will not want to cast the CD aside even after Christmas had come and 

gone…

Antonín Reichenauer – Concertos (SU 4035-2) 

Sergio Azzolini – Baroque bassoon, Xenie Löffler – Baroque oboe, Lenka Torgersen – Baroque violin 

Collegium 1704, Artistic Director: Václav Luks (period instruments) 

Unlike the copiously preserved sacred music, instrumental works by Czech composers in the Prague of the 

first third of the 18th century are as scarce as hen’s teeth. The twenty or so instrumental pieces by 

Antonín Reichenauer are among the most significant. Reichenauer was a musician in Count Morzin’s 

chapel, in which he assumed the role of in-house composer after Johann Friedrich Fasch. The ensemble’s 

superb quality is documented by the Count’s regular contacts with Antonio Vivaldi, whom he engaged as 

his “maestro di musica in Italia”. Among other pieces, Vivaldi dedicated to Morzin his Opus 8, containing 

the celebrated The Four Seasons. The rarity of Reichenauer’s virtuoso concertos is emphasised by their 

being extremely challenging in technical terms, which serves as evidence of the skills of the chapel’s 

members – even Vivaldi himself lauded them! Many a contemporary musician would find these concertos 

extremely difficult. This, however, is certainly not the case of the “wizard” Sergio Azzolini and the other 

soloists featured on this recording. Together with Collegium 1704, an ensemble that gained renown with 

albums of Jan Dismas Zelenka’s paramount compositions, they perform Reichenauer’s concertos with a 

vivacity and energy this music requires. 

Antonín Reichenauer’s Baroque concertos – Vivaldi himself would have been proud. 

František Jiránek – Concertos and Sinfonias (SU 4039-2) 

Sergio Azzolini – Baroque bassoon, Marina Katarzhnova – violin, Jana Semerádová – flauto traverso 

Collegium Marianum, Artistic Director: Jana Semerádová (period instruments) 

Ever newer chapters from the history of the bountiful musical life of Baroque Prague are still being 

discovered today. Until recently, František Jiránek, a composer and violinist of the Prague-based Count 

Morzin’s chapel, had only been known to a select few. Now, for the first time, all lovers of old music are 

afforded the opportunity to listen to an exquisite collection of his virtuoso concertos. At first hearing, we 

can recognise inspiration by Vivaldi (combined with distinct elements of Czech musicality) – after all, 

Jiránek was sent by his employer to study in Venice, where most likely Antonio Vivaldi himself, at the time 

Morzin’s “maestro di musica in Italia”, was his teacher. Later on, Jiránek worked in Dresden, where his 

further creation was gradually formed by the Galant style and the ascending Classicism. The world 

premiere of Jiránek’s virtuoso concertos has been undertaken by superlative soloists headed by the 

“wizard” bassoonist Sergio Azzolini. With full engagement, together with Collegium Marianum under the 

flautist Jana Semerádová, they have breathed new life into Jiránek, which this rediscovered composer so 

richly deserves.

“He was an amazing musician. There can be very few conductors who can manage stylistically the 

breadth that he did. But I think my favourite contribution from him was bringing Czech music to the 

West.” This is the opera star Renée Fleming’s glowing description of Sir Charles Mackerras, whose long 

and incredibly fruitful conducting career and life ended at the age of 84 this July. Indeed, over the past 

few decades Czech music has not had a more vigorous advocate and champion in the world, nor a 

greater fan and connoisseur. “I am a great fan of Dvořák’s music because it always seemed to me that, 

apart from Mozart, Dvořák is the greatest composer... He wrote these symphonies, he wrote tone poems, 

he wrote operas, he wrote chamber music, he wrote songs, he wrote religious music, everything... He’s 

just the greatest composer, except Mozart perhaps.” Throughout the music world, Mackerras’s name is 

synonymous with Czech music itself – Janáček in particular. Sir Charles fatefully encountered Janáček 

during the very first days of his studies with Václav Talich in Prague. Subsequently, he introduced Janáček 

to the wider world. “Nobody needs me to say that Mozart and Handel are great composers, whereas they 

did need somebody to say that Janáček is a great composer too, and that’s what I did. If I have achieved 

anything in my life, it is the propagation of Janáček.” Supraphon had the truly great honour of cooperating 

with this superlative conductor until the very end. The albums featuring the Czech Philharmonic 

Orchestra in particular have captured Mackerras’s vision of a wide scale of works by the four greatest 

Czech composers. The list of awards these recordings have received is long... Let us then instead spend 

our time listening to his musical legacy on these CDs, which Supraphon with respect and love for Sir 

Charles presents to all those who would like to recollect this great man.

Josef Suk / Asrael 

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, 

Sir Charles Mackerras 

Josef Suk began writing the funeral symphony Asrael to commemorate his teacher and father-in-law 

Antonín Dvořák. During the course of work, however, Fate dealt him another crushing blow: Asrael, the 

Angel of Death, took away Suk’s wife and Dvořák’s daughter Otilie. The symphony is a story of a suffering 

whose strength seems simply unendurable, yet also a story of its overcoming, seeking solace and hope. 

Sir Charles Mackerras’s live recording of Asrael originated on a Good Friday, 6 April 2007, one hundred 

years after the symphony’s premiere. The young Australian conductor had first heard about Asrael some 

sixty years previously from Suk’s close friend, Václav Talich. In later years, Mackerras confessed that he 

perceived the work in a completely different light after his daughter had died. Sir Charles conducted Suk’s 

Asrael during one of his last performances with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. It is also his last 

previously unreleased recording with this orchestra. 

Suk’s Asrael – Sir Charles Mackerras’s last previously unreleased recording with the Czech Philharmonic

Mstislav Rostropovich 

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) 

Suites for Cello, BWV 1007-1012, complete 

Today, Bach’s suites form part of the repertoire of every distinguished cellist, and many of them have 

recorded the complete cycle. Yet when sixty years ago the twenty-four-year-old Mstislav Rostropovich 

(1927–2007) first performed all the suites in public, it was a trailblazing act, linking up to the previous 

endeavour of Pablo Casals. When this live recording was made in 1955 at the Prague Spring festival, 

Rostropovich was 28 years of age. He astounded the audience with his youthful verve and surprising 

artistic maturity. At the festival Rostropovich met his lifelong love, Galina Vishnevskaya, whom upon 

returning to Moscow he married after several days of acquaintance. When in 1991 the cellist made a 

complete recording of the Bach suites in France, he was 64. Hence, all the more precious is this live 

recording from the Czech Radio archives, which waited more than half a century for its release. As a lover 

and connoisseur of wine, Rostropovich would certainly agree that some wines – and some recordings too 

– acquire a richer taste and a higher value over time. 

A sensational, newly discovered 1955 Rostropovich recording of the Bach suites.

Sviatoslav Richter 

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) 

Piano Sonatas Nos 7, 12 & 23 “Appassionata“ 

The Russian Masters archive series brings another gem from Sviatoslav Richter’s abundant Prague legacy. 

The recording of the three Beethoven sonatas was made at the Rudolfinum on 1 November 1959 within a 

single evening. One year later, Richter included these sonatas in his celebrated debut recitals at Carnegie 

Hall. Owing to his legendary aversion to frequently performed works, during his lifetime he would only 

play fewer than half of Beethoven’s sonatas on a concert stage. However, Richter did not hesitate to 

resurrect even the scarcely performed works and was able to breathe new life into the early sonatas, such 

as Op. 10 No. 3 and Op. 26, in which lovely classicist passages mingle with astonishing invention and 

energy. Richter’s take on the “Appassionata” is a milestone in the history of interpretational art. He plays 

the exposed passages at a seemingly hazardously rapid tempo, without keeping anything in reserve. The 

performance is passionate in a ravishing manner, yet not lacking in premeditation and a sense of 

structure. Nothing here is just for the sake of effect. Perhaps it would be apt to paraphrase one of 

Beethoven’s statements: There are many great pianists, but only one Sviatoslav Richter. 

Beethoven performed lightly and rapidly, with passion and premeditation, simply peerless – that’s 

Sviatoslav Richter.

Martina Janková – soprano 

Gérard Wyss – piano 

The gracious young soprano Martina Janková has established a firm position amidst fierce international 

competition. Since 1998 she has been an Oper Zürich soloist and has featured in productions by 

conductors of such renown as Gardiner, Harnoncourt, Fedoseyev, Herreweghe, Rattle, etc. With Sir John 

Eliot Gardiner, she has recorded, among other things, Bach’s cantatas. Yet Martina Janková keeps 

returning to the emotionally rich realm of the song. 

“Voyage” is not merely a song recital. It is a journey from the child’s wonderment at the colourfulness of 

the world through amorous enthralment to self-knowledge and finally (in Dvořák’s Biblical Songs) also to 

that which transcends us. A voyage through life in images, where every word and every tone bears a 

meaning of its own. In the songs, Martina Janková lets personal stories revive and peers into the 

innermost corners of the soul. 

Martina Janková’s “Voyage” – a journey into the mysteries of the soul and an invitation to an encounter.

Josef Suk / Dvořák – Violin Concerto, Romance; Suk – Fantasy, Fairy Tale* 

Josef Suk – violin, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Václav Neumann 

*first ever released 

A living legend, Josef Suk is rightly considered the most distinguished representative of the 20th-century 

Czech violin school. His peerless, rich and beautiful tone has been captured on countless other albums. In 

the year in which Suk celebrated his eightieth birthday Supraphon released his splendid new recording, 

featuring some of the chamber works of the artist’s grandfather and great-grandfather, respectively – 

Josef Suk and Antonín Dvořák (SU 3976-2). Suk has taken great care to preserve the artistic legacy of his 

two celebrated ancestors throughout his life. In a sensitively remastered form, this CD brings the 

legendary recordings of Dvořák’s Concerto in A minor and Suk’s Fantasy from the golden era of the soloist 

and Neumann’s Czech Philharmonic Orchestra alike. Not even Joseph Joachim, the most famous violinist 

among Dvořák’s contemporaries, ventured to perform the concerto. Yet the recording that originated 

almost one hundred years later demonstrates that the work ultimately found the most competent hands 

and heart it could possibly find. 

True legends – Josef Suk performing Dvořák’s Violin Concerto and Suk’s Fantasy.

Every work of art is exposed to the inexorable test of time. In the case of the majority of composers, 

precious few works enjoy enduring popularity. Yet in this respect Dvořák is one of the glorious 

exceptions. When it comes to his 15 string quartets alone, more than one third of them are still an 

integral part of the repertoire of numerous contemporary ensembles. All the mature opuses – starting 

with the “Slavonic” Quartet in E flat major (written for the famous Florentine Quartet) through the most 

celebrated, the “American”, to the final opuses 106 and 105, whose musical language reflects the 

composer’s return home from overseas – have been repeatedly explored and performed. The Panocha 

Quartet, whose exceptional qualities have for over four decades been acclaimed by audiences in four 

continents, have devoted to Czech quartet creation and Dvořák in particular with great care. This 

selection from the complete Dvořák works features the most beautiful quartet opuses and is a must-have 

for all fans of this genre. 

The “American” quartet and other Dvořák gems – beautiful and seminal.

Jitka Hosprová – viola /Andrea Postacchini 1856/ 

In the past, the viola was often considered the poor relation to the violin or cello, for which composers 

wrote solo pieces, notably Bach with his solo partitas. Only the 20th century, to a certain extent, 

redeemed the debt to this splendid instrument. This CD featuring Jitka Hosprová presents the best 

compositions written for solo viola in the 20th century in the homeland of Dvořák, Smetana and Janáček. 

We would be hard-pressed indeed to find another violist whose repertoire is so dominated by 20th- and 

21st-century works. Jitka Hosprová has included on this collection two compositionally significant Czech 

works (the dialogical Suite by Ladislav Vycpálek, who studied composition with Vítězslav Novák, and the 

Sonata by Josef Suk’s pupil Pavel Bořkovec) alongside pieces by two representatives of the currently older 

generation of composers (Jan Klusák, Jaroslav Smolka). Jitka Hosprová’s viola reflects all the colours of 

human emotions; it is by turns sad, mysterious and vehemently passionate, velvety and raw. Owing to 

this buoyancy, the CD far surpasses the dimensions of a mere music anthology; the compositions sound 

like personal statements – and it is easy to fall in love with the exquisite timbre of Jitka Hosprová’s viola. 

Jitka Hosprová’s solo viola – passionate, flamboyant, spirited...

Beethoven – Symphonies (Complete) 

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor: Paul Kletzki 

Ingeborg Wenglor – soprano, Annelies Burmeister – alto, Martin Ritzmann – tenor, Rolf 

Kühne – bass, Prague Philharmonic Choir / choir master: Josef Veselka (Symphony No. 9) 

Beethoven’s symphonies are among the cornerstones of the symphonic repertoire. They bear witness to 

the composer’s remarkable journey from airy Classicism to the peerless idiom he had developed on the 

threshold of the Romantic epoch. Those who have taken up the challenge to record the complete cycle 

include the Polish-born conductor Paul Kletzki, who gained great renown after the war, primarily in 

America. He was the principal conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for a year and 

after his debut in Philadelphia went on to conduct the leading American and European orchestras. This 

remarkable complete recording of Beethoven’s symphonies was made during Kletzki’s performances with 

the Czech Philharmonic in 1967, during the orchestra’s golden age under the chief conductor Karel Ančerl. 

This gem of the Supraphon archives thoroughly deserves the current re-edition in remastered form owing 

to its freshness and expressive depth. 

Beethoven as explored by Kletzki – a legendary, time-honoured recording.

Recorded live at the concert of the 15th 

Prague Spring International Music Festival 

at the Rudolfinum, June 2, 1960 


Beethoven / String Trios 

Leonid Kogan – violin, Rudolf Barshai – viola, Mstislav Rostropovich – cello 

This CD, the latest title within the acclaimed Russian Masters series, presents three towering Russian 

musicians. At a superb 1960 Prague Spring festival concert, Kogan, Barshai and Rostropovich performed 

together three of Beethoven’s four string trios. These pieces are seldom played in combination since they 

require from the musicians a rare combination of virtuosity and humility, as well as mutual respect 

between the chamber players. There is no doubt as to the sheer virtuosity of these musicians; at their 

previous concerts at that year’s Prague Spring all three of them had presented themselves as superlative 

soloists (at the festival, Rostropovich also performed in Czech premiere Shostakovich’s first cello 

concerto). Leonid Kogan – one of the most distinguished representatives of the Russian violin school; the 

violist Rudolf Barshai – co-founder of the celebrated Borodin Quartet and later on a renowned conductor; 

Mstislav Rostropovich – simply a phenomenal cellist... Three soloists whose encounter on a single stage 

was a veritable feast for chamber-music lovers and one of the apices of the Prague Spring. Now, half a 

century later, you too can savour this remarkable concert. 

Three legends on one stage – a precious encounter you can again enjoy, half a century on!

The Greatest Romantic Violin Concertos 

Václav Hudeček – violin 

Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra 

Prague Symphony Orchestra 

Václav Smetáček, Jiří Bělohlávek 

Recording locations: 

Rudolfinum, Prague, October, 1974 (CD1 / 1–3), July, 1980 (CD1 / 4–6), June, 1976 (CD2 / 4–6) 

TJ Praga Studio, Prague, February, 1979 (CD2 / 1–3) 

Václav Hudeček ranks among the most gifted violinists, not only on a Czech but also an international 

scale, to have graced a 20th-century concert stage. Following his debut in London (at the tender age of 

15!) with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, he appeared at the most prestigious concert venues 

(Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, Osaka Festival Hall, Sydney Opera) with world-renowned orchestras (Berliner 

Philharmoniker, Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, NHK Philharmonic Orchestra, Gewandhaus Leipzig, etc.). 

David Oistrakh, who immediately recognised Hudeček’s exceptional talent, was his teacher and mentor, 

and on several albums accompanied him as a conductor too. Hudeček made the recordings of the four 

greatest Romantic violin concertos for Supraphon (between the ages of 22 and 28) with Jiří Bělohlávek 

and Václav Smetáček. They bear witness to the remarkable musicality and technical skill of the Czech 

representative of the Russian violin school and many years later have lost none of their power and should 

occupy a place in the collections of all lovers of the violin’s passionate tone. 

The four most beautiful Romantic concertos rendered in the rich timbres of Václav Hudeček’s violin.
