The Antonin Dvorak Cycle - Live From The Alte Oper Frankfurt.Symphony No. 8 in G major Op. 88.Piano Concerto in G minor Op. 33.
This recording documents the pianist's one-hundredth recital. (His performances of the thirty-two Beethoven sonatas and his private concerts belong to a separate account.) The program is vintage Libetta - a sophisticated assembly of works that one way of another dance: Beethoven's sonata opus 31 number 3 (the second movement anticipates Delibes the finale is a tarantella); a passepied of Delibes; Chaminate's Les Sylvains' the Schubert/Godowsky Rosamunde ballet music; Ravel's La Valse; Chopin's Souvenir de Paganini Tarantelle and the mazurka dedicated a son ami Emile Gaillard; and both books of Brahms's Paganini variations (based on the caprice that also inspired Liszt Lutoslawski and Rachmaninov among others). What is most compelling about this program is the way in which Important Music (for instance Beethoven) illumines and is illumined by music that is not usually thought to be Important (for instance Delibes).

Bizet/Brahms - Symphony No. 1/Symphony No. 2
Imagine being on holiday in Venice, making a home movie and then playing it to friends with a favourite CD of Vivaldi as soundtrack. That's pretty much what you get with Vivaldi: L'Estro Armonico, except that the performance of this selection of concertos from the wonderfully ebullient early Vivaldi collection is no great shakes either. It comes from an eastern European orchestra and feels distinctly leaden compared with the best readings around today. And that's it, folks: 56 minutes of video footage of Venice, with the only guidance on what you're seeing coming from the "Travel Notes" menu option that gives background information on some of the locations. Never mind the price of this DVD: it can't be recommended unless you have a relative playing in the band or you want to check out Venice's sights before booking your holiday. On the DVD: Vivaldi: L'Estro Armonico on disc has theatrical trailers for other DVDs. The "Travel Notes" are useful, if superficial, as is the brief biography of Vivaldi. Sound quality is no more than passable, despite the Dolby Digital remastering and the picture quality is disappointingly washed-out. --Harriet Smith
