DIVOX ANTIQUA on period instruments: Viaggio a Venezia - Stefano Molardi, Virtuosi delle Muse

...The main figures on this CD are George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) and Nicola Porpora (1686-1768). Both lived and worked in Venice at different times of their lives, and both were sought-after composers in London. Porpora, however, later fell into oblivion after the Neapolitan opera went out of fashion in the late 18th century. Even if Porpora's instrumental works represent only a small percentage of his overall output, the originality of his works was highly esteemed in his day, and the Virtuosi delle Muse succeed in giving voice to the beauty and songfulness of his works. Francesco Gasparini (1668-1727) began his career in Rome before going on to the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice. Antonio Caldara (1670-1736), a native of Venice, was a singer and instrumentalist at San Marco before transferring to Mantua and, later, Vienna. Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) and Tommaso Albinoni (1671-1750) were members of the Venetian nobility who lived and composed in Venice. Read more

P. Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture & Other Orchestral Works - Erich Kunzel - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. 2-Sided Disc



Artist: Erich Kunzel - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
Album: P. Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture & Other Orchestral Works
Released: 2001 
Label: Telarc
Catalog N°: DVDA-70541
Genre: Classical

Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra bring us a remarkable performance of select masterpieces from Tchaikovsky, including the well-known 1812 Overture, complete with live cannon recordings.  These cannons start firing their first round of shots at time counter 12:33, and continues with additional volleys in the 6-channel  DSD  (Direct Stream Digital) recording at about 14:41.  Recorded with DSD's wide extra dynamic range, these cannon blasts are indeed loud, so pay serious attention to the box's warning about setting the playback volume level conservatively during your first go at the title track.  As exciting as the cannons are, you don't want to find your speaker drivers on the floor in front of your loudspeakers.   Joining in just for the title track are the Kiev Symphony Chorus and Children's Choir of Greater Cincinnati.  The performance is awesome during this title track, but the recording and resulting mix are just shy of ideal...
