Collection: Requiem
Subcollection: Voice and Organ
Recorded in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory in 1977, this performance by a famous Russian choir demonstrates their sonorous chorus technique and sound. The powerful basses give an added dimension.
The traditional Latin text of requiem mass repeatedly attracted attention of the most prominent composers in the world history. Some of them could discover new contents of austere divine service texts - that was the way the masterpieces like Mozart’s and Verdi’s ones appeared. The German composer of the 17th century Heinrich Schutz was the first who turned to the scriptural texts in his mother tongue translated by Martin Luther. Johannes Brahms followed him and named his requiem “German”. The passages, taken from Old and New Testaments and united in the composition, do not correspond the established order of the requiem mass. Probably, Brahms’ “Requiem” is some meditation on caducity of human life and inevitability of physical death that is expressed in vocal and symphony genre. Brahms was hatching the idea of this composition within ten years. His close friend Robert Chopin’s tragic death became some “starting point” of the idea. Moreover, his mother’s death served as reasonable grounds for completing of what had been started. The Old and New Testaments texts united in the composition form the basis of seven diverse parts. The first and the last parts - “Blessed are they that mourn…” and “Blessed are the dead…”- organically frame the cycle. The meditation on Death (“For all flesh is as grass…”) in the second part is balanced by the idea of Resurrection (“For here have we no continuing city…”) in the sixth one. The mournful third part (“Lord, make me know mine end…”) finds its consolation in the fifth one. The central part of the Requiem “How lovely are thy tabernacles” makes gradual transition from sorrow and mourns to hope for life after death. The Yurlov State Academic Chorus was named after Alexander Yurlov soon after the death of the talented musician and choir conductor. His unexpected death happened when the choir was rocketing to its peak of mastery. The group was obliged with this success to its brilliant leader. Within those fated 15 years that Alexander Yurlov and the choir worked together (1958-1973) they won fame of the best alliance of the singers and the conductor in the Russian chorus music of the Soviet period. Juri Ukhov who worked as chapel master of the choir since 1964 was brought up and matured in the heart of the choir. At that time he was a witness of brilliant performance of Brahms’ “Ein Deutches Requiem” and “Schicksalslied”. Several years later he got an opportunity to perform “Requiem” in the concert. The recording from the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory gives the bright idea of the sonorous chorus manner of singing that was made of mellow timbre of female choir, silver ringing of tenors and powerful basses. The latter were especially valued for their uniqueness and fascination in our country.

22 October, 2011 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Franz Liszt (1811-1886), the brilliant virtuoso pianist, genius composer, renowned educator and music critic, one of the brightest stars of the musical Olympus of the 19th century. As a daring innovator, Liszt stirred up a revolution in both the art of piano playing and composing. Being a classic of the Hungarian national music who imbibed cultural tradition of other countries, Liszt exerted influence upon on the course of European music in general. "If not for Liszt, the fate of new music would have been different," wrote music critic Vladimir Stasov. The piano remained Liszt's favourite instrument throughout his artistic life. His innovative approach to the instrument showed up in his orchestral and symphonic interpretation. He created a multitude of virtuosic transcriptions of his own works and ones composed by others authors such as operatic numbers and songs by Schumann, symphonies by Beethoven. "In the span of its seven octaves, [the piano] embraces the range of a whole orchestra, and the ten fingers of a single man suffice to render the harmonies produced created by the concurrence of a hundred musicians," wrote Liszt. In the field of symphonic music, the composer created a whole new genre - single movement symphonic poem (Tasso, Les préludes, Orpheus, Prometheus and others). This release dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Liszt's birth includes compositions by Franz Liszt performed by some of the best musicians such as Alexander Slobodyanik (his recording of a Hungarian Rhapsody and Piano Sonata in B minor brought him a Franz Liszt award in Hungary, in 1976), Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Vladimir Ashkenazi, Gleb Akselrod, Mark Ermler, Lazar Berman, Vladimir Ovchinnikov and Kirill Kondrashin.

"On stage, Oistrakh produces an impression of a colossus. He firmly stands on the ground, he holds his violin proudly, and he creates music that finds expression in an endless stream of beauty and grace", wrote the great violin player Isaac Stern. Among the numerous famous performers the 20th century gave to the world, David Oistrakh ranks especially high. "… one of the really great violinists of our time. Oistrakh is great not because he is a virtuoso, but because he is a genuine, inspired musician," wrote the press during his first coming to the United States in 1955. Oistrakh had to play the very first concert of that tour on the same day with performances of Nathan Milstein and Mischa Elman (Joseph Szigeti played on the same day at another venue in New York). Fritz Kreisler who was in the house expressed his admiration for Oistrakh after the concert. Firma Melodiya presents a set of recordings by the great musician of this country. Oistrakh recorded violin concertos by Bach, Mozart, Viotti, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Dvorak, and Taneyev in the 1950s and 1960s in the prime of his performing career jointly with some of the best conductors of the previous century such as Nikolai Malko, Herbert von Karajan, Alexander Gauk, Kirill Kondrashin and Gennady Rozhdestvensky. The performances of Brahms's and Franck's sonatas by David Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter also featured in this set once was unanimously recognized by domestic and foreign audiences as one of the best achievements of the 20th century in the field of chamber music.

The great violinist David Oistrakh realised his ambition to conduct in 1961and from then until his last concert in Moscow in 1974, combined solo and conducting work. A Viennese newspaper wrote “A world-known violinist being a top-class conductor at the same time is an extraordinary phenomenon.”
It was in 1961 when the great violinist Oistrakh realized his old dream of conducting for the first time. Since then, until his last concert in Moscow in October 1974, where Brahms’s second symphony was performed, the musician combined solo and conducting work appearing to his audiences as a conductor of the Orchestra of Moscow Philharmonic Society, Big Symphony Orchestra of All - Union Radio, and with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Teatro alla Scala Orchestra and other celebrated collectives. “A world - known violinist being a top class conductor at the same time is an extraordinary phenomenon. And David Oistrakh is a remarkable conductor,” wrote one of the Viennese newspapers in 1966. This Firma Melodiya release features compositions by Édouard Lalo (Symphonie espagnole), Hector Berlioz (Harold in Italy) and Johannes Brahms (Violin concerto in D major, Op. 77 Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73) performed by the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by David Oistrakh.
