"...Jarvi responds to the varying moods and images of these little miniatures with sympathy and gusto, and his ability to bring out the very heart and soul of even the most sentimental passages makes it a joy from start to finish...but even Jarvi's high spirits here pale beside the glorious sound of the Detroit horns in September with its colorful evocation of the hunt...certainly the best 'Seasons' in the catalog." -Haller,

Dirigent der Neujahrskonzerte der Wiener Philharmoniker - das ist eine Art Ritterschlag, aber immer auch ein Stückchen Musikpolitik. Und so manche unter den Maestri, die fleißig-fleißig eine CD nach der anderen bespielen, würden auf manche verzichten, würde man sie statt dessen einladen zum Neujahrs-Prosit im Goldenen Saal. Die Namen derer, die die Philharmoniker nach Wien baten, seit sie ihre Neujahrskonzerte mit jährlich wechselnden Dirigenten vor einem weltweiten Publikum von etwa einer Milliarde Zuhörer/Zuschauer veranstalten, sind wenige: 1987 Herbert von Karajan - die Wiederversöhnung mit dem Maestrissimo, der so auch seinen Berlinern die grollende Schulter zeigen konnte, wurde damit belohnt; 1988 Claudio Abbado, der gerade neu an die Staatsoper gekommen war; 1989 Carlos Kleiber, das musikalisch wohl denkwürdigste Konzert; 1990 Zubin Mehta, dem man den Absprung aus New York versüßen wollte; dann 1991 wiederum Abbado, 1992 nochmals Kleiber. Daß Riccardo Muti nicht ganz oben auf der Einladungsliste stand, konnte man sich denken. Ein geborener Strauß- Dirigent ist er nicht. Die feinen Rückungen, Akzente, ohne die Strauß nicht Strauß wird, sind seine Sache nicht. So weicht er denn auch Strauß eher aus, flicht Lanner ein, meidet die heikleren Strauß-Walzer. Pizzicato-Polka, "Indigo"-Ouvertüre und Radetzky-Marsch sind denn auch die plausibleren Interpretationen eines dennoch gut durchdramaturgisierten Konzerts.

Bach - The Goldberg Variations (Mika Väyrynen)


Bach - The Goldberg Variations (Mika Väyrynen)
Accordion/Classical | 1 CD | FLAC, none LOG, none CUE | 421 MB - MP3 | 320 Kbs | 145 MB
Publisher: Alba Records Oy | 2004 | RapidShare


Boy, is this fun! Mika Väyrynen not only plays Bach's Goldberg Variations on the accordion to brilliant virtuosic effect, but he also manages to give each variation a unique identity. If Tania Lukic-Marx's more reverential way with the score makes her the accordion's Helmut Walcha, Mika Väyrynen, in turn, evokes the spirit of Virgil Fox on best behavior. Hear how he imbues Variation 7 with gentle swagger and sharp, unexpected accents that prove equally piquant when taken up the octave on the repeats. Redistributed to accommodate a single keyboard and rows of buttons, the two-keyboard variations blast off from their respective starting gates and hardly let up.
Variation 29's toccata-like textures particularly lend themselves to the accordion's breathy bellows, while the canons at the unison and the fifth plus the "black pearl" 25th variation feature Väyrynen's sexy, honey-coated legato phrasing. Sometimes Bach's contrapuntal lines blur within the resonant, roomy acoustic, but the sound is so vibrant and alive that you simply go with the flow. And unlike the three other accordion Goldbergs I've managed to hear (Stefan Husson/Thorofon, Tania Lukic-Marx/Aura, and Wolfgang Dimetrik/Amphion), Väyrynen takes all repeats, save for the Aria Da Capo. Definitely one of 2004's most entertaining and lovable releases. [8/31/2004]
