Rachmaninov - Symphonic Dances/The Bells 

 

  

 EMI Classics releases an exciting new recording of Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances and The Bells. These two Rachmaninov masterpieces, performed by one of the world’s most renowned orchestras under their celebrated principal conductor Sir Simon Rattle. This is a rare chance to hear Sir Simon’s interpretations of these great works. Towards the end of his life, the composer himself said of The Bells “I worked on this composition with feverish ardour; and it remains of all my works the one I love the most”. Of the Symphonic Dances, written shortly before his death, he said “I don’t know how it happened, it must have been my last spark”. (http://avaxhm.com)

COLETÂNEA

• Não tolerava coletaneas (na minha mocidade). A verdade é que há algumas odiosas realmente. Gravadoras de gabarito não relutavam em unir num só disco, compositores de época, estilo e Escola totalmente diversas, e o pior, como o espaço de apenas um vinil é muito pequeno, geralmente gravava-se só um movimento de determinada peça, geralmente a Abertura.

Coisa tão sem sentido como ouvir-se um Prelúdio sem a Fuga, uma espécie de tortura japonesa, não, é pior ainda (creio). Ainda admitia Villa-Lobos + Ginastera ou Debussy + Ravel, só pra citar alguns exemplos, nem J.S.Bach + Handel jamais aceitei (por motivos óbvios). Johann Pachelbel + J.S.Bach talves aceitasse, mas não me lembro de ter visto tal coletanea. Agora, misturar Barroco com Classicismo, Romantismo com Impressionismo, liquidificar tudo e servir inescrupulosamente como belo manjar...

• Os tempos mudam, as pessoas mudam, mudam as coletaneas, eu também mudei. Eis aí uma ótima coletanea, o ruim é que quando vai começando, acaba!

Um forte abraço.
