Respighi: Concerto in Modo Misolidio - Concerto a Cinque
Respighi: Piano Concerto, Toccata / Scherbakov, Griffiths
. . . [A]t this price how could anyone with the slightest weakness for Respighi hesitate? Scherbakov and Griffiths do a good deal more than dutifully go through the motions, the soloist in particular playing with delicacy and affection . . . . [T]he Concerto and the Fantasia, both very early Respighi, are not patronized in the slightest. The central slow section of the Concerto, indeed, achieves something like nobility . . . . The Toccata is not so much an exercise in the neo-baroque, often though its dotted and florid figures promise it, more of an essay on how far one can be neo-baroque without giving up a post-Lisztian keyboard style and comfortable orchestral upholstery. But in a slow and florid central section, a rather melancholy aria that passes from the soloist to the oboe, to the strings and back again, there is a real quality of Bachian utterance translated not unrecognizably into a late romantic language . . . . Scherbakov sounds touched by it, and obviously wants us to like it. Indeed these are likeable performances of music that needs that sort of help, but repays it. . . . -- Michael Oliver, Gramophone
Finzi: Clarinet Concerto, Etc / Plane, Griffiths, Et Al
The 'Three Soliloquies' originated as part of Finzi's incidental music for a 1946 BBC radio broadcast of Shakespeare's LOVE'S LABOURS LOST and were only later re-scored for concert performance. Finzi is a master at creating an atmosphere of romantic reverie and longing for the characters set at the court of the King of Navarre. As for the remaining works, 'A Severn Rhapsody' is gorgeous miniature that evokes the idyllic English countryside while the Romance in E flat appears to owe its influence to Elgar. Finally, the Introit in F is a gentle and tender work that was originally intended as the slow movement for a violin concerto that was later abandoned.
