Sergei RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, op.18 Piano Concerto No.3 in D minor, op.30 NORIKO OGAWA piano Malmö Symphony Orchestra conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes BIS -CD-900 [80:04] full-price This review is generously sponsored by HMV Singapore. by Johann D'Souza A composer's music should express the country of his birth, his love affairs, his religion, the books that have influenced him, the pictures he loves. It should be the sum total of a composer's experiences. - Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov There have been so many couplings of these concertos done in recent years, and yet it is not often that we get a woman pianist at the keyboard. If I am not mistaken the last lady pianist to do so was Zilberstein on DG (439 930-2). Noriko Ogawa's other discs in her discography have consisted of Takemitsu piano music (BIS 805) and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (BIS 905 - to be reviewed soon), which has been received warmly and widely by her peers and reviewers alike. Noriko Ogawa came to prominence when she walked away with the Third Prize in the prestigious Leeds Competition of 1987 and has since played with the leading orchestras of Europe. This puts her in the same echelons as pianists like Radu Lupu and Murray Perahia. I had the honour of listening to her "live" rendition of the Emperor Concerto by Beethoven last year with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra ( Click here for review ) and I must say that it was one of the most exhilarating renditions I have heard in a long time. She has this ability to play with a certain sense of controlled recklessness which makes her interesting to hear "live".

However we are told that he was a competent pianist, having taught himself with little instruction from Balakirev, both members of The Five. (I have full respect for pianist-composers - because they write the most difficult pieces as well as the most sublime pieces for the piano). Mussorgsky did not really compose a wide selection of pieces in his short life of 42 years, but many of his works are dearly remembered. Mussorgsky (right, painted in his final year by Ilya Repin) suffered from psychological problems and alcoholism. It is surprising, but I am now in full belief that you have to be mentally unstable, depressed, and/or turbulent in order to compose works of great inspiration. Eg. Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.6 and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2

NORIKO OGAWA Noriko Ogawa (piano) was awarded third prize in the 1987 Leeds International Piano Competition, amply rewarding the scholarships she had won and support she has inspired over the years. Noriko has since achieved considerable renown in Europe, America and in her native Japan where she is a national celebrity. In 1999 Noriko Ogawa was awarded the Japanese Ministry of Education's Art Prize in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the cultural profile of Japan throughout the world. Here she remains much in demand, appearing at major arts festivals, performing regularly with the major orchestras and making regular radio and television broadcasts for both NHK and Nippon television. Noriko Ogawa's recent releases for BIS Records have consolidated her major profile in Japan. Bryce Morrison EDITOR'S CHOICE, GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, March 2003

McAlister Matheson Music CD Review Debussy Images. Estampes. Masques. L’Isle joyeuse Noriko Ogawa BIS BISCD301105 Price £9.99 Discount cardholder price £8.49 Release date July 2003 (May 2001 full-price) It’s no surprise that the Japanese pianist Noriko Ogawa features on BIS’s “Top 30” edition. She has been one of Robert von Bahr’s most fruitful signings, both for the quality of her playing and for the breadth of her repertoire. The first volume of her Debussy intégrale is by any standards distinguished pianism. Her Images challenges Gieseking’s classic 1953 recording, while Ogawa’s subtle colouring of the many piano dynamics of Pagodes (from Estampes) marks her out as a rather special Debussy pianist. A particular feature of these performances is her close observance of Debussy’s many expression marks; you’d be surprised how many pianists play fast and loose with Debussy’s explicit instructions. Excellent sound. Reviewed by Sandy Matheson

McAlister Matheson Music July 2003 Newsletter July special offers As the so-called ‘major’ labels continue to cut back their release schedules, so the ‘independents’ have gained in importance to collectors and dealers alike. One of the best of the ‘independents’, the Swedish label BIS, celebrates its 30th anniversary by reissuing thirty titles from its increasingly treasure-filled catalogue at mid-price for a limited period. Amongst other things, it’s a chance to sample Masaaki Suzuki’s magnificent Bach cantata series; you could also do worse than try Noriko Ogawa’s outstanding Debussy Images. All 30 titles will be available to cardholders at £ 8.49 until August 31st. French toast The Berlioz bi-centenary has prompted several tributes from his own country. Later in the year DG will issue a recording of Roméo et Juliette conducted by Pierre Boulez; this month the Yellow Label releases a new Symphonie fantastique in a performance featuring members of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Les Musiciens du Louvre conducted by Marc Minkowski. Enterprisingly, Minkowski also includes Herminie, one of Berlioz’s Prix de Rome cantatas. It will be released on July 7th. DG 474 209-2 Price £15.95 Discount cardholders pay £14.35

"Murray McLachlan is a pianist with a virtuoso technique and a sure sense of line. His timing and phrasing are impeccable, and his tone-full but unforced in the powerful passages, gentle and restrained in the more lyrical - is a perpetual delight" BBC Music Magazine "Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy was so much more than an essay in Bravura. It showed McLachlan as one of the outstanding contemporary British Pianists in both technique and musical insight " Yorkshire Post Last updated 4th June 2004 NEW CD - Erik Chisholm and his Friends (DunelmRecords DR0219) This new disc was recorded in Decemeber 2003 and features most of the music McLachlan performed at his critically acclaimed Wigmore Hall debut on 4 January 2004.
