Swedish Chamber Orchestra - Orchestral Works - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: This boxed set brings together Thomas Dausgaard's and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra's cycle of Brahms' symphonies, originally released as four separate discs. Each symphony is coupled with carefully selected works to provide a well-rounded idea of the composer's orchestral output. Favorites such as the two concert overtures are included - the laughing and the weeping one, to paraphrase Brahms himself - as well as the much loved Haydn Variations (on a theme which most likely isn't by Haydn at all...). Another perennial favorite is the Alto Rhapsody, with Anna Larsson singing the solo part, but there are also less often heard works - Brahms's orchestrations of his own Liebeslieder-Walzer as well as of six songs by Schubert. And throughout the set the composer's Hungarian Dances (including some of his most popular music) run like a thread. Brahms own orchestrations of Nos 1, 3 and 10 have pride of place on disc 1, with the remaining 18, in much praised orchestral versions by Thomas Dausgaard, are spread out over the remaining three discs. In reviews of the individual discs, critics have praised their sound, words such as 'freshness', 'transparency' and 'urgency' to describe the performances, with the critic in Fanfare expressing his pleasure at hearing 'Brahms from the edge of one's seat'.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
