Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These are all fairly well known 20th century flute sonatas, but they do gain something from being programmed together like this. The comparisons and contrasts make for an interesting program. All of the pieces are winners, and so are the performances. Jiri Valek is one of Czechoslovakia's leading flutists, Josef Hala a highly experienced chamber player. Even in the Prokofiev, probably the most popular work in the program, their energetic, sensitive performance is as good as any on the market. Apparently the Martin was digitally recorded in 1989 to fill out the timing of an analog LP in its transfer to CD, an excellent idea. Recommended. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars excellent overview of contemporaneous classic music.......2007-03-22

excellent overview of contemporaneous classic music.

Should be continued, plenty more 20th-century composers to be discovered.

5 out of 5 stars For the price you can't lose.......2007-02-21

This 2 cd set consists of, as the title indicates, various 20c pieces or movements from the Naxos catalog. Sound quality is uniformly high, although for some such as Stockhausen's it's not clear if that's good or bad. What is excellent is the variety of the collection--some familiar (Debussy), others not, some pretty, others intentionally weird. Few will find every piece to his or her taste, but many listeners who do not spend much time on 20c music will find something to like. Overall, a great introduction to a period of much off-putting, yes, but also much compelling music.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Gay pride taken to absurdity.......2001-09-26

A compilation with no purpose, pasted together (tastefully) from slices of other great CRI releases. Is this supposed to have educational value? Shock value? Wouldn't you rather hear Cowell paired with, say, an openly hetero Charles Ives? Or a complete epic Partch work? Or an entire CD of Cage's Sonatas & Interludes? None of these composers made being gay central to their musical identities. I doubt if they would have done so even in the present era. What next? The Greatest Throbbing Hits of Tchaikovsky? The secret gay composer, artist or poet was no secret to his patrons, friends & most dedicated fans. He even enjoyed certain advantages,

At least the "lesbian" series showcases lesser known women composers who would never have gotten past the hunky bouncer at a Virgil Thomson tea party in 1950.

4 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fournier.......2004-02-16

On this 4CD EMI Import, the great cellist Pierre Fournier performs a variety of orchestral and chamber recordings, recorded primarily in mono from the 1940s and early 50s. There are three orchestral works -- Haydn's 2nd Concerto (Kubelik/Philharmonia, 1951), Schumann's Concerto (Sargent/Philharmonia, 1956 in stereo), and Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations (Bigot/Lamoureux, 1941). Disc two, and half of disc three, contain Beethoven Cello Sonatas with the great Artur Schnabel, while the fourth disc features a variety of pieces, from Bach and Boccherini to Debussy and Ravel, with pianist Gerald Moore. I'm withholding a fifth star because the collection contains mostly historical recordings, though it certainly captures one of history's greatest cellists in his prime. With that being said, "Les Introuvables de Pierre Fournier" is a must buy for cello entusiasts.

        Album Description

        Few pianists have had the courage to tackle Ives' "Concord" Sonata in public. Easley Blackwood made it his signature piece. Blackwood earned high praise for his concert performances of Ives' "Concord" Sonata, a set of transcendentalist meditations named for Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcott family and Thoreau, all of whom lived in Concord, Mass. Critic Max Harrison of The London Times declared Blackwood's performance of the piece "the finest account I have ever heard."

        Chicago Symphony Orchestra flutist Richard Graef, a Blackwood colleague in the Grammy Award-winning Chicago Pro Musica chamber music ensemble, performs in the sonata's "Thoreau" movement.

        Copland's Piano Sonata, long overshadowed by his populist works, represents his most profound and personal thoughts. A surprisingly lively middle movement explores fast rhythms in irregular, rapidly changing meters. "I never would have thought of those rhythms if I had not been familiar with jazz," Copland remarked.

        Mark Kroll's contemporary harpsichord album is great, but I am particularly impressed by soprano Nancy Armstrong's exuberant performance of "Four Fragments from the Canterbury Tales". Nancy Armstrong deserves to be far better known than she is. Years ago, she was described as "the Purcell Prima Donna of our day" by The New Yorker. Check out her new solo CD "What Magic Has Victorious Love" with works of Purcell and Handel, published by VAI.

        5 out of 5 stars Incredible Recording!!!.......2002-03-17

        If you thought harpsichord was only for Baroque continuo parts, you will be plesantly surprised. This is first-rate from top to bottom. I was particularly impressed with the flute playing of Alan Weiss. He's the best flutist I've heard since Rampal and Baker. Carol Liebermann is a superb artist as are the other collaborators.

        5 out of 5 stars One of the monolith modern piano works.......2001-11-10

        The Concord Sonata is one of the really profound modernist piano works. There is a lot to explore in this 45 - 50 minute sonata. The first movement, `Emerson,' is the best writing in the sonata. `Emerson' is austere, powerful, thoughtful, meditative and ruggedly individual. It is what Ives did best in one of his most extreme presentations. Within dizzying and confusing textures, fragments of songs and symphonies rise to the fore and clash, further fragmenting one another and summoning up energy for another clash. `Emerson' is like one of the freeform stream - of - consciousness lectures of Emerson himself, freely associating ideas, refusing to conform to the needs of reality, the needs of audience... It is like climbing a mountain and being blasted by the wind and cut by the mountain, making a terribly arduous journey to the top. It is brutal and determined, yet pure and upright and civil.
        I first heard this work when Robert Shannon played it; he was going to play another work, but changed the program at the last second. I was glad that he did. He played this work with strength and austerity. It was incredibly, profoundly musical and moving. That concert was not recorded, so I went to search and see if Shannon was recorded elsewhere. To my surprise, he was recorded performing that very work. So I purchased the CD. Unfortunately Shannon is perhaps more reserved on this recording than when I heard him more recently. Perhaps he was concerned with giving a balanced performance here, or had more time to get to know the work between this recording and when I heard him. Whatever the reason, this recording does not have as much power as when I heard him perform. Perhaps one really just can't capture the experience on tape. I should note, however, that I was expecting the performance to be as profoundly moving as when I heard it earlier. This performance has really great moments and times that same intensity that I heard before shines through on it.
        I recommend the recording. Shannon's performance is good here (though if he is in the area, you should go out to see him; fine piano playing), and the Ives work is excellent. Anyone who enjoys Ives should hear this; I consider this work to be one of the high marks of his career. Those interested in modern music should check this work out. Anyone else interested in a deep, demanding musical work should also listen to this. Be prepared, you'll need to concentrate to hear this world open up, but the `Concord' sonata has a lot to offer you, if you'll devote the time to understanding it.
