Ben Martin - Lindemann Series: Hommage a Primrose 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

with Lindemann, even the opening bars go through you to the bone and you begin to guess the reason for the motto to this sonata InchPoet, take thy lute; the wine of youth still ferments in God's veins.Inch the viola cannot sound more sensual, more penetrating or more addicted than this.Inch (stereoplay) InchHe wanted to put a Inchnice old-fashioned programInch, answered Hartmut Lindemann when I asked him about his reasons for the choice of repertoire. Behind this seemingly harmless answer is a highly understandable intention Lindemann did not want to offer himself and his listeners music which is strictly determined right from the first second but music which draws the listener and his or her imagination into the musical event...

Ferrara, the Italo-disco funk outfit famous for their ambitious disco interpretation of novelist Emily Bronte's InchWuthering Heights, Inch is featured here with the original 1979, 7Inch vinyl mix of InchShake It Baby Love, Inch coupled with InchLove AttackInch from the original 12Inch album mixes. Both tracks have been newly remastered.

My skepticism on my first encounter in about 1991 - Never heard of him, who on earth is Mr Lindemann?Inch tipped suddenly over into unbounded enthusiasm, which has since mellowed into calm confidence Lindemann has for the first time convinced me so firmly of the use of a rounded bow, with his portrayal of Bach's Chaconne, that I really Inchcouldn't botherInch about it's usage. The music created with it is overwhelming. [...] And if a player can summon up enough ardent eloquence, which supersedes all questions about the wherefore of the realization, we can only be talking about a really top-drawer musician...Inch (Stereoplay) Inch... There are basically two ways to play this work (Arnold Bax Sonata) tightly and dramatically, as Tertis and Bax do; or more discursively and romantically, as William Primrose and Harriet Cohen do in the other notable historical recording. Lindemann and Martin take the latter course, but execute their interpretation more convincingly than Primrose and Cohen. They shape the Celtic-influenced melodies with a sure touch and get right inside the music. (...) If you buy no other viola recital in 1994, buy this one.Inch (The Strad)
