Some consider him the third great Soviet composer, after Prokofiev and Shostakovich.

Gidon Kremer has no doubts of his genius. He opens this set with a solo violin sonata, austere and melancholic. Skip that, and you enter a frisky 1.

Tchaikovsky winner, Daniil Trifonov. Written under Stalin’s second Terror Wave in which members of Weinberg’s family were murdered, the works wear a fixed smile and a ferocious concentration. The listener dare not relax.

A 1. 94. 8 concertino for violin and string orchestra is altogether more ingratiating, with an arresting opening melody and busy interplay between soloist and ensemble. It’s a retro near- masterpiece of 1.

The tenth symphony, which wraps up the album, is a post- tonal experiment of the late 1. The playing quality is top drawer. Weinberg always leaves me wanting to hear more.> Buy this CD at Amazon. February 4, 2. 01.

The Westminster Legacy(DG)*****In the golden age of orchestral recording – the 1. American labels piled into London and Vienna after an aggressive union priced their own musicians out of work. At Abbey Road, players worked thirty days on the trot, three sessions a day, to feed a burgeoning market for classical music. In Vienna, the Philharmonic (exclusively contracted to Decca) performed under six different names for other labels.

Westminster was one of the busiest of these producers and its arhives have been virtually unavailable for the past quarter- century, since the digital dawn. This overdue compilation of 4. CDs is filled with uncollected glories, some half- remembered, others unknown.

A Vienna Mozart Requiem conducted by the cerebral Hermann Scherchen, with Sena Jurinac as soloist; Clara Haskil playing the Mozart D minor concerto and the very young Daniel Barenboim the E- flat major: treasures beyond the stuff of dreams. Pierre Monteux leading Beethoven’s ninth in London with Elisabeth Soderstrom and Jon Vickers; Adrian Boult conducting The Planets in Vienna; Hans Knappertsbusch interpreting Bruckner; debut discs by the Amadeus Quartet and Julian Bream; the two best Czech quartets coming together in Mendelssohn’s Octet. This is fantasy casting of an almost unimaginable pedigree and few today are aware that these recordings even exist. There are, inevitably, a few period duds in the box, but even these mishits – Scherchen Conducts Music for Multiple Orchestras – proclaim an idealism that we’d write off as quixotic if we didn’t, finally, blessedly, have proof of their existence.

The second is by Boris Tchaikovsky, a student and kindred spirit of Dmitri Shostakovich. The third is like nothing you’ve ever heard before.

In the first place, its composer’s name is not really Tchaikovsky. That was a name picked by his grandmother to pluck him from the Warsaw Ghetto and keep him alive, hidden in a closet, until the Nazis were defeated. The boy, a pianist and composer, was an unsettled soul who lived mostly in England until his death of cancer, aged 4. For many years he was known as the man who left his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company for use in the gravediggers’ scene in Hamlet. Last summer, however, his opera The Merchant of Venice received a triumphant premiere at the Bregenz Festival and the third Tchaikovsky (too late to change the name) is now firmly back in play. His piano concerto, written for Radu Lupu in the late 1.

Sixties London. Atonal and dramatic, it is austere only in its frugality – not a note out of place. A sultry mischief, alternately angry and amused, pervades the work. The music engages the listener with a powerful personality and an infectious musicality. We need to hear this concerto at the BBC Proms to sample its exciting potential. The performers here are Maciej Grzybowski and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conductor Paul Daniel. Andr. Raised a Lutheran in Trenton, New Jersey, he went wild among artists and ladies, filling his apartment with new acquisitions – a Braque, a Picasso, a Leger, two Kubins, the paint still wet. Shuttling between 1.

Paris and Berlin he finally headed to Hollywood, last refuge of the wannabe celebrity. In music as in books, his best writing is often the title – Airplane Sonata, Swell Music, Death of Machines. The promise soon wears thin. Aiming to break sound barriers, he lands somewhere between honky- tonk and his all- time idol, Igor Stravinsky. The solo piano music is entertaining enough in noisy spells.

Guy Livingston, intermittently joined by two other pianists, hurls himself at the keyboard and spares no effort to make a case for an Antheil revival. No fault of his that the music is no more than a dinner plate shattered into period pieces.> Buy this CD at Amazon. December 9, 2. 01. James Mac. Millan: Alpha & Omega(Linn)****Nobody does church like James Mac. Millan. Every year, as Christmas nears and a Mass or Magnificat of his lands on the deck, the composer contrives to surprise, bending the harmonic line out of the blue like David Beckham in his prime, while staying true throughout to a traditional sacred format.

Mac. Millan himself directs his Missa Dunelmi, with Alan Tavener leading Capella Nova for the rest of the concert. It is recorded in the challenging acoustic of the Church of the Holy Rude, Stirling. The sound though, as you’d expect on a label run by a high- end hi- fi manufacturer, is exemplary – wondrously atmospheric and worth the album price on its own if you’ve got new speakers to show off to envious friends.

Madeleine Mitchell pops up with a stunning violin solo, which she plays more like country fiddler than concert soloist, filling in the harmonic hills and valleys while the vocals curl upwards into the roof beams. Mac. Millan is a champion virtuoso of church space.> Buy this CD at Amazon.

December 2, 2. 01. Splinters(Odradek)****The opening of Gy. Then the second phrase chimes in and you realise that you have never listened properly to a piano before. In one minute and seven seconds, a Hungarian composer takes off both your ears, gives them a rinse and polish and leaves them half a tone sharper than before. This is a specialist service offered only by Hungarian composers and their interpreters. Few perform it better than Mariann Marczi, a teacher at Budapest’s Franz Liszt Academy.

She follows austere Kurt. An autumnal reflection by Laszlo Lajtha yearns for a Paris boulevard, while three B.

Beethoven- Bruckner- Hartmann- Holliger(ECM)***Karl Amadeus Hartmann, who lived all his life in Munich and died 5. Dec), went into inner exile during the Nazi regime.

He refused to allow his music to be performed after January 1. After the War, he founded Musica Viva, a concert series that introduced Bavarians to all the new music they had missed under Hitler. His own music is a vital link in German cultural history and is played all too little abroad, or on record. His second string quartet, begun in May 1. Alban Berg and his violin concerto. Like Berg, Hartmann weaves tonal into atonal and hints at sources in Bach.

Like Berg, he conceals a lover in the work, the syllables of his wife’s name, Elisabeth. Like Berg he is, for all the cross- references, entirely himself. The music, intimate and intense, grips the ear with great force.

It is played here by the Zehetmair Quartet in a context that is at once imaginative and ambitious. The album opens with Beethoven’s final quartet, the opus 1.

I (Almost) Got Away With It. Part 1: Howard Brown and his girlfriend are befriended by a fellow drug addict who lives on a boat.

The friend invites the pair to stay on his boat for a few days, a time during which Brown murders the man with a hammer and steals anything on the boat he finds valuable. He then takes the victim's car and abandons it near the Miami bus station. He and his girlfriend catch a bus to St. Petersburg, where they check into a motel while they plan their next move. After the discovery of the body on the boat, police look into the victim's bank records and determine the victim's credit card is being used, enabling them to follow the trial.

The pair buy a bus ticket to Hartford, Connecticut, but then get off in New York City. Their next move is to catch a bus to Fayetteville, North Carolina, and an arrest team assembles in New York, disguised as bums. But to their disappointment, the fugitives have caught an earlier bus to Fayetteville, where a friend has planned to give them what they need to flee the country to Mexico. While awaiting help from the friend, the pair use the stolen credit card again to spend a night at a Fayetteville hotel, a mistake that leads to their capture, as detectives track them to this location. Part 2: Brandon Starks is in a juvenile jail, awaiting trial, when he stages an escape that he gets others involved in.

With his mother's help, his mother first forms an intimate relationship with a guard, and arranges a dental appointment for her son so he can temporarily leave the facility. The guard become an insider, passing letters from Starks to friends that don't get scrutinized. While Starks arrives at his appointment by prison transport, two friends hold the guard hostage, thereby allowing Starks to escape. Starks then spends the next several weeks on the run, moving from friend to friend, and staying at their homes. When Starks suspects the police are closing in on a location, he moves to the home of another friend. Starks's mother tries to arrange for him to be harbored out of town, but this person tips off police, who then learn about his mother's involvement. But his mother cooperates with police in exchange for getting probation, and names all others involved in this plot, thereby leading to more arrests.

Starks is finally cornered at the home of a cousin. Police are tipped off when his mother comes to visit and finds him there.
