Gudrun Sidonie Otto - Nostalgia - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Around the central work of the CD, the InchFriedenskonzertInch by Daan Manneke, Gudrun Sidonie Otto, soprano, and the cathedral organist of the Basel Minster, Andreas Liebig, present a very multifaceted and expressive programme. The InchFriedenskonzertInch is part of the Baseler Psalms, which were commissioned for the millennium celebrations of the Basel Minster. In the programme, it is framed by two chorale arrangements on the Lutheran chorale InchAus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dirInch, one by Johann Sebastian Bach, the other by Max Reger. Furthermore, Gudrun Sidonie Otto sings two extremely demanding works, InchAus den Visionen der Hildegard von BingenInch by Sofia Gubaidulina and InchDjamila BoupachàInch by Luigi Nono. The whole programme is framed by two of the most important works of organ music, Bach's Fantasia et Fuga g-minor, BWV 542 and the organ sonata InchDer 94. PsalmInch by Julius Reubke, both masterly played at the organ of the Basel Minster by Andreas Liebig. Album Tracks 1. Fantasia et Fuga g-moll BWV 542~Fantasia 2.

On her third PENTATONE album Nostalgia, Magdalena Kožená presents Bartók's Village Scenes, Mussorgsky's The Nursery and a selection of Brahms songs, together with acclaimed pianist Yefim Bronfman. Sung in Slovak, Russian and German, these songs on love, longing and innocence show three master composers transforming folk traditions into their unique musical styles. Kožená demonstrates her vocal mastery once more, and this recording with Bronfman is the result of a two-decades-spanning congenial artistic partnership. Nostalgia is star mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená's third album as part of her exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE, after having presented the baroque cantatas recital album Il giardino dei sospiri and the songs in chamber-musical setting project Soirée in 2019. Yefim Bronfman, whose commanding technique, power and exceptional lyrical gifts are consistently acknowledged by the press and audiences alike, makes his PENTATONE debut.
