About this product

SOMM Recordings brings it's major six-volume series of Franz Xaver Scharwenka's transcriptions of Beethoven Symphonies to a close with his 9th Symphony, the monumental Choral Symphony. Since the first volume, listeners have eagerly awaited each new in the series from duo pianists, Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman. As Ates Orga has noted in International Piano Magazine, InchWhat in July 2021 began as something of a curio outing has blossomed into a major recording landmark.Inch Beethoven first conceived the idea of setting Schiller's Ode to Joy to music when he was in his twenties; an early iteration of the theme in the song, Returned Love, comes from before 1795. His Choral Fantasy for piano, vocal soloists, mixed chorus, and orchestra followed in 1808, when he was thirty-eight. By the time he conducted his Choral Symphony No. 9 in D minor in Vienna on May 7, 1824, aged fifty-four, Beethoven was completely deaf. One of the iconic images in music history is that of the soprano gently turning him around, so he could see the rapturous response from the audience that he was unable to hear. The work had broken all barriers in terms of conception, duration, compositional power, and the incorporation of voices in the finale. The impact of the Choral Symphony was instantaneous and lasting. It was printed by Schott and Company within 18 months, and there were immediate demands for keyboard transcriptions. Given the forces that Beethoven employed in his 9th Symphony, transcribing the work for piano is challenging to say the least. The German pianist and composer, Xaver Scharwenka, was a student of Theodor Kullak, who had studied with Beethoven's pupil, Carl Czerny, thus providing Scharwenka with a singular musical line leading back to Beethoven. His duet transcriptions of all nine Beethoven Symphonies, published in 1905, still remain a touchstone for musical understanding of the cy

Joachim Raff's piano compositions earned him considerable acclaim in his lifetime. - Bla¨tter und Blu¨ten's (Leaves and Blossoms) four volumes consist of twelve deliciously melodic and colorful depictions of the then popular vogue for 'The Language of Flowers'. - The late Grande Sonate by contrast is one of Raff's major statements. - Conceived on a quasi-symphonic scale, it's sonorous gravity and breadth encompass a bleak nobility that represents the culmination of his writing for the piano. - Ms. Tra Nguyen's previous recordings of Raff's piano music have earned her wide critical acclaim. Album Tracks 1. Grande Sonate, Op. 14 (1881) 2. Blätter Und Blüten, Op. 135A (1866) Volume 1 3. Blätter Und Blüten, Op. 135A (1866) Volume 2 4. Blätter Und Blüten, Op. 135A (1866) Volume 3 5. Blätter Und Blüten, Op. 135A (1866) Volume 4
