 Good recording of Bruch

A REAL TREAT

I've long felt that Bruch is an under-appreciated composer and the music on this disk adds proof to that assertion. This is lush, dramatic, compelling romantic music that is a pleasure to experience-- think Robert Schumann with Eastern European overtones. And the performance and sound are both quite good.
This CD is as refreshing and tension-reducing as a good massage, and for less than $7 that's quite a bargain! |

Pieces, playing, and price: all excellent

I really don't like to review a CD based upon price. I'd rather pay more to have a great CD than pay less for a mediocre one.
In this case, though, you get some great works by Bruch, played wonderfully by Meyer, at an obscenely low price.
I've had reservations with Warner Apex because of a previous CD and the poor sound quality; but that is not an issue on this CD.
Overall, a great purchase for any classical fan. |

Must Be Heaven

Bruch: Works for Clarient and Viola must be the music that is played in heaven. You will surely think you are there, when listening to these soul soothing yet most dramatic sounds.It is simply beautiful and may be the best hour of your day(actually about 65 minutes).Bruch, an already much admired composer and teacher of the mid 19th century to early 20th, composed these works during the later years.
Opening with a "Concerto for Clarinet, Viola and Orchestra in E minor, OP.88, the three movements (Andante con moto,Allegro moderato, and Allegro molto), will take your breath away, as the music seems to float in the air around you.
Next up are 8 pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op.83 to savour. Each instrument and every track with it's own personality. Sometimes sweet, or solemn, other times happy, lively,or more dramatic, at times powerful. Some of the pieces are "Andante in A Minor", "Allegro agitato in D minor", and Moderato in E flat minor"(see buying ino page for a complete list of tracks.
The final section is "Romance for Viola and Orchestra in F major, Op.85. One gorgeous track, the 7 and a half minute, "Andante con moto".Music that more than lives up to it's title. It may have you swooning.
Kent Nagano and the Lyon Opera Orchestra, with Paul Meyer on Clarinet, Gerard Causse, viola,and Francois-Rene Duchable piano,perform Bruch with perfection.There are 12 tracks in total.They range from 2:22 to 7:49. Most are a good length. The CD is an excellent quality, and includes an insert with a notes on Max Bruch and his music.
I would highly recommend this album to lovers of instrumental classical. It's an album that you should take with you on long scenic drives to add to the beauty of your visual pleasure, or at times you may be stuck in traffic, to ease your drive(be careful though, if you feel like conducting, make sure no one is watching!). Not bad for a wonderfully atmospheric evening, or lazing Sunday morning as well.
Enjoy it whenever the mood or need hits...Laurie
