jiminlogansquare Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Admittedly the album title goes over the top, (they justify it*), but this really is a great sort of roller coaster ride of Italian baroque music, with an emphasis on virtuosic violins. Just strap in and enjoy the ride! (From the liner notes: "This recording takes its title from John Babington’s guide to fireworks, the earliest published in Europe. The idea behind the programme was to focus on the development of concertos with movements ending in ‘capriccios’, demonstrating how the idea of a virtuosic cadenza, usually associated with the classical concerto of a later period, had really developed during the first half of the eighteenth century. What better name for an album of baroque violin concertos, showcasing their technical ‘fireworks’, than Babington’s: Pyrotechnia?") graham 1 Link to comment
jiminlogansquare Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Wow. I know this is three Albums of the Evening in just one evening, but this is just such a phenomenal recording, I felt the need to add it here. Link to comment

AnotherSpin Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Jukka-Pekka Saraste studied art of conducting in the same class with Esa-Pekka Salonen (and Osmo Vänskä). Perhaps this explains some of the similarities in the conducting of Mahler's 6th by Saraste and Salonen. Both avoid exaggerated drama and unnecessary emphasis, letting the music speak for itself. In Saraste's fine live recording, the music flows freely and uninterruptedly. It might even seem that Saraste deliberately avoids the drama so familiar in many famous performances of the 6th. And despite this, he succeeds more than convincingly. A splendid 21st century Mahler.  austinpop 1 Link to comment

It just doesn't wow me... I'm a huge Trifonov fan and have seen him live several times. But, I 100% agree, this recording didn't wow me. To my ears, he really overdid the rubato. In our house we call it "Bachmaninov"... sphinxsix, AudioDoctor and AnotherSpin 1 1 1 Link to comment
