Extractions: - 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".
Extractions: [74'00"] full-price by Johann D'Souza Modest-ly speaking, Mussorgsky was not really known to be an experienced musician. 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

Extractions: When this recording of Richter Haaser's performance of Beethoven's fourth piano concerto first appeared in February 1962, it received a welcome in the pages of Gramophone comparable to that accorded to Emil Gilel's 1957 EMI recording. Yet, though the Gilels went on to be regarded as a gramophone 'classic', the present recording, despite receiving a second ecstatic Gramophone review, quickly disappeared from view. Happily, this neglected classic is now back to stay.

Extractions: Its no surprise that the Japanese pianist Noriko Ogawa features on BISs Top 30 edition. She has been one of Robert von Bahrs 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 Giesekings classic 1953 recording, while Ogawas 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 Debussys many expression marks; youd be surprised how many pianists play fast and loose with Debussys explicit instructions. Excellent sound. Reviewed by Sandy Matheson

Extractions: 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, its a chance to sample Masaaki Suzukis magnificent Bach cantata series; you could also do worse than try Noriko Ogawas outstanding Debussy Images. All 30 titles will be available to cardholders at £ 8.49 until August 31st. 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 Berliozs Prix de Rome cantatas. It will be released on July 7th.
