tone. It is hard to imagine any other flutist being able to perform this concerto and achieving the same amount of heighten emotion as Wincenc has done. Bravo to Carol Wincenc!!!
I hope that this Concerto will climb it's way up to becoming a standard flute concerti of the flute repertoire.
Exceptional in All Regards. A Must Have CD!.......2002-04-11
Listening to this disk today made me wonder how many other truly remarkable works of contemporary classical music I may have overlooked. The short version of this review is BUY THIS CD. It is remarkable in all regards.
Now for the long version. First, overall impressions:
Recording quality: A+, as good as it gets on standard CD
Performing quality: A, the orchestra seems to be very well rehearsed. The musicians for the most part seem to be totally confident in handling this at times technically challenging music.
Conducting: A+, Eschenbach seems to be totally committed to this music, the ensemble playing is tight, balanced, with glorious tone.
Composition Quality: A+, IMHO, the 2nd Symphony and the Flute Concerto are destined to eventually become staples for symphonic orchestras. Their time will come, hopefully much more quickly than it took audiences to appreciate works of some like Mahler and Bruckner.
Rhythmic Interest: A+
Orchestration: A+
Emotional Content: A+
I consider these performances inspired. At the end of the Flute Concerto I pictured myself hearing this live, jumping up, and repeatedly shouting BRAVO at the top of my lungs. I don't recall reacting this way in a home listening experience before.
I intentionally did not read the program notes prior to listening to this music. The first of movement of the 2nd Symphony is completely engaging with wonderful rhythmic drive. It is interrupted by the 2nd movement where it immediately becomes clear the composer has been inspired by something that has given him great pain and a sense of deep loss. I learned later it was the death of a fellow composer and friend.
I tend to become most attached to works where composers have attempted to deal with their deepest, most profound, and sometimes most painful emotions. It's perhaps why I have been so attracted to Mahler, among others. The 2nd Symphony makes my "A" team in this regard.
I may have to create a new category for the Flute Concerto though. Can a work be TOO BEAUTIFUL to listen to? I have never thought of such a concept before. I recently listened to the Mahler 10th which has one of the most beautiful, moving flute passages I can think of. This work completely trumps Mahler in that regard and has what is without a doubt the most beautiful, emotionally moving set of flute melodies I have ever heard.
But not all is beauty. These two works seem to deal with profound tragedy, pain, and loss, too. The Flute Concerto is a truly remarkable work, and is easily my favorite all-time "concerto".
The Phaethon, while no doubt a fine work, was anti-climatic after having heard the 2nd Symphony and Flute Concerto. In fairness to it, anything would have been anti-climatic after what I experienced listening to the Flute Concerto. Do you ever get the sense that time has stopped while listening to a work of music? I have only had that happen once or twice before. It happened while listening to final two or so minutes of the Flute Concerto.
In summary, this is a truly remarkable release. I hope everyone will take the time to listened to it in a totally quiet (it has very wide dynamic range) environment, on a good sound system (audiophiles will rejoice. This will make a great test CD to take to the store when auditioning new equipment), and with no distractions.
Enjoy. Keep a box of tissue handy just in case.
More Bark Than Bite!.......2002-03-31
Rouse's Symphony No. 2 is an agitated, bombastic storm of ideas - it jackhammers from start to finish. And, although it is executed like a fireworks display, the Houston Symphony captures very little beauty or wonder, and even less heart. The Symphony gives off the impression of a shimmery layer of noise, but it lacks an inner monologue and leaves one feeling hollow. In contrast, Rouse's Flute Concerto, which is lighter than air and occasionally even feels new age, occasionally borders on the saccharine. It allows some breating space mid-disc and makes for an interesting juxtaposition with the rowdy Symphony and the epic Phaeton. Rouse's Phaeton is probably the best piece on the disc. Phaeton is a small tone poem that conveys the listener along a mythical and violent journey. It is percussive in the same manner as the Symphony No. 2 and will hold your interest throughout.
WOW!.......2001-06-05
This is one amazing composer! And maybe this is the best of all his CDs. Phaethon is a short but shocking chariot ride in sound. His first symphony is one of the greatest of our time, and this second one is a worthy companion: deeply felt, searing, sometimes almost unbearably violent. But maybe the flute concerto is the most special. I have seen this piece performed live, and not only were many in the audience in tears but also I noted that a number of the orchestra members were crying as well. I know that this makes the music sound like a downer, but it is so sensitive and so consoling that it just has to be heard.

Excellent Music.......2000-10-06
Any damage that may have been done to the phrase "modern music" by composers who write music that is both difficult to perform and to listen is being quickly repaired by Christopher Rouse. It's been a long time since I've heard such a beautiful string piece as the Concerto Per Corde written by a modern composer. The players do nothing but play their instruments very beautifully using only conventional means. There are no extended techniques or gimmicks - there is only beautiful playing and writing. The two percussion ensemble pieces are thrill rides. I had seen Ogoun Badagris performed once before, and that was what initially drew me to this CD. The pieces are both very evocative of their respective stories and are expertly performed.
The "Passion Wheels" itself took a little bit longer for me to get into, but both that piece and the entire CD are worthy of repeated listening. The playing and recording quality of the CD are excellent and I am noticing that several of my more recent purchases have been conducted by Marin Alsop. Ms. Alsop is clearly an asset to music in 2000, as is this CD.
If you are afraid to listen to anything written before 1900 or earlier, this CD will demonstrate that music is alive and well in modern times.
Passion full circle.......2000-07-08
This CD is well named, for it covers a wide range of expression--all of it passionate--from primitive Hawaiian war and Haitian voodoo rituals to sophisticated discourses on Christ and Shostakovich.
In addition to the music proper, which is always interesting and creatively orchestrated, we are treated here to a tour de force of engineering. You will need seatbelts to keep the drums from knocki

m,meaning her music transcends the instruments obvious historical baggage of relative arrogance heaviness and clumsiness. She knows how to shape her solo accomplice into the fabric of the orchestra. The Chavez as well is a good example of this neglected composer. And Lindberg knocks the hell out of anything he blows. He can also be senstitive as well to the metaphysical voice contained within each work
Three knockouts by a trombone heavyweight.......1999-04-13
Read Thomas is someone who has found a unique voice. She is elegantly ugly at times, and evocative without knowing. But there is an intense transparent lyricism which runs through all her music. She glides and lilts her way through her well thought-out pieces not bothering to write so that everyone in the orchestra plays. She for instance downsizes the lower voices, something I find fascinating. Here the trombone solo is music it has been wanting to play all its life,so neglected and pigeon-holed as a clumbsy clown. But not here, Read Thomas reestablishes its grandeur and dignity. So does Rouse but in an ever more gut-wrenching way. I feel the presence of his "First Symphony" here the "Adagio" the darkly packed lower voices there and here again served him well with high-tension violin melos.Dedicated to Bernstein a friend, the piece has an obvious miniature requiem-like feel. But things do get jazzy,huffy with Lindberg teasing and tempting the orchestra to mimic him and does a few times. A funny bit I guess proclaiming Lenny's self-consciousness. Chavez to we hardly hear or know, but this is a well constructed work with again the lyricism the trombone has been begging for and needs.

Move over, Bolero!.......2005-06-07
I love this whole CD. Rouse's violin concerto is soulful and satisfying, and that's rare. Lin plays it beautifully and I will look for other violinists to add it to their rep in the future. Glennie is always fun, and Rouse has given her a whimsical rollick to work out on in Alberich. Even the wonky rock drum solo. But RAPTURE! Oh dear! It is so incredibly sensual and sexy. The orchestration is stunning, the colors alternately vivid and melting. Yeah, definitely get some champagne and some chocolates and take this one to bed. Oooh!
the Curse of the Ring LIVES.......2005-03-08
I see Alberich is alive and well, you know evil,the transgressive or "Other" it is required for Wagner's dramturgy at least in the Ring is propelled forward by this as his other operas only different characters as Klingsor,or Amfortas. Of course we all know Wagner was an Anti-Semite, and certainly those in his audiences in his time, the time of Karl Marx knew Alberich was the representation of the Jew,the merchant as his [...} son Hagen,who carried (well he tried) this treachery,deceit, hypocrisy and theif well into the future. I've come to beleive that a centrist reading of Wagner's Ring was that Alberich was simply "capitalist man",more advanced than European aristocracy,hence (in Wagner's naive view more progressive) those with power to transform the world,as Faust,armed with the primordial powers of the earth, (very Romantic) and they have, the early Robber Barons as Rockefellers,Morgans,Carnegies today Murdocks,Berlusconis,Trumps, whomever.
The Curse lives within the new Disney Hall that "tsunami" that has hit Downtown Los Angeles,seen powerfully as the brass chords Wagner's and Rouse's music.music like the smokestakes at the Krupp Worlks reach higher in the sky and as the Disney agenda itself to scour thrioughout the globe, to promuligate the Disney ideology to rob the richness of what was culture,now truncated, leveled to the least common denominator culture,virtualized, digitalized or we still call it culture, or simply "That's Entertainment", have a good time, Baghdad is under control now.Rouse has been a composer always interested in the power of his music,like Hitchcock,he is only interested in the shock response it gets, like a a composer with an odometer. He doesn't want you to forget it, or him, as his early Symphonies, they go for the gut, the juggler,seldom the mind as Hagen,it is music in search of subjects,listeners, well really not because you do not listen to Rouse's music, it has no timbral interest nor sophistication nor formal structural interest,like Wagner as Adorno said it is music about itself first, one-dimensional,dependant on the program, the CURSE to sustain it, for it is nothing else, refers to nothing else, and is fodder grist for the mill of todays' concert scene. It is music to be loved,and you may become obsessed with it, as young composers are obsessed today with either popular culture of being loved or both. Even the refined percussive artistry of Evelyn Glennie really cannot save this monolith for the Cash Box, something Alberich would have loved,although Alberich gave up love to have power, he renounced his lechery in the opening scenes in Das Rheingold, the opening of the RING no fornications with the Rhine Maidens. There is a fornication that occurs here however in this Concerto if you watch closly and carefully, a Violin Concerto masquerading as music, when it is really something else, like a prostitutes embrace is it real?,or simply Cash-Bound for purposes of exchange only?. I suspect music today as this piece attests is also for its exchange value, as Alberich would have preferred, So Mr. Rouse you are a genius afterall,you admirably follow the orthodoxy of this narrative.
A Paean to Rick Wakeman.......2004-05-11
And such a thing should not exist! The opening 2 movements of "Alberich", referencing the nasty character in Wagner's RING, are positively superb, with an element of unresolved tension building throughout. It all comes undone in Glennie's solo. And that's what it is: a drum solo in the midst of a classical concerto. I'd have thought that that conceit had died along with the abysmal excesses of charaters like Rick Wakeman. This is right out of his "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and while I don't doubt for a minute that people in LA would stand and applaud (their two cultural contributions to Civilization being the right turn on red and Arnold as Governor), it struck me as completely ridiculous. In fact, I'm surprised Glennie would go for this. Someone must have slipped her a mickey in the haggis. She is a great rock drummer as far as that goes, though she might find more of a challenge working with Bill Bruford instead of this piece.
"Rapture" is indeed beautiful. It nearly resolves the CD. The Violin Concerto is Prokofiev influenced and executed well, but I tired of listening to it. Leif Segerstam and his crew are a daring orchestra that have produced great and powerful music. I'd recommend their take on Rautavarra's Symphony No. 8 in a heartbeat. The problem is the material here.
Mandatory Purchase.......2004-05-09
Six stars! No, seven! It is simply impossible for me to recommend a release more highly. Why? All I can do is count the ways:
1. I have personally heard all of these pieces in concert, multiple times. Every single performance I've heard has received a standing ovation, many of them wildly enthusiastic. In Los Angeles, they practically knocked the roof off the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. All three works are first recordings.
2. Yet this is not watered-down, pandering stuff. The Violin Concerto in particular is a serious, superbly constructed, highly dramatic masterpiece that I predict will rank with the Prokofiev, Barber and Berg concertos long after John Adams' concerto disappears from the repertory.
3. Everyone interested in the musical current of neotonalism and probably its greatest living exponent must have this CD in their collection. Rouse shows that one can write effective concert music without sounding like a movie composer or condescending to popular tastes.
4. Students of orchestration, especially percussion, will have a field day with the "Alberich" concerto. Rouse's was one of the first of a wave of such concertos starting in the mid-90s. It remains the best.
5. That is, if you have a sense of humor! The Postmodernist element rears up hilariously in a send-up of Wagnerian pomposity as Alberich, personified by the world-famous percussionist Evelyn Glennie, gets revenge on Wagner's "Ring" gods by turning the sunrise music from "Gotterdammerung" into a rock concert.
6. "Rapture" is a phenomenal piece that hit the concert stage in a whirlwind of performances a

Sharon Isbin knows how to pick classical guitar works just about as well as she knows how to play them (which is to say, exceptionally well). On her Grammy Award-winning Dreams of a World, she explored folksy classical guitar works from around the world. On this disc, the music of two guitar concerto world premieres is less-familiar and just as exciting. Christopher Rouse's Concerto de Gaudi for Guitar and Orchestra is rooted in the Spanish idiom, but it has numerous twists and turns. Isbin gets plenty of tricky solo flights here, but the piece also features some truly explosive brass and percussion moments reminiscent of orchestral works by Ives and Revueltas. Tan Dun's commission for Isbin is less structured; there's plenty of improvisation where the guitarist is required to use tremolo to make her instrument sound like a Chinese lute, or p'i-p'a. Again, you'll hear the influence of Spanish composers, though you never lose the influence of Eastern tonalities in Tan Dun's Impressionistic work. It's a fantastic showcase for Isbin's talents, though not necessarily a piece you'll want to hear every day. These live recordings boast great sonics, and the Gulbenkian Orchestra is in fine form. --Jason Verlinde

Dun shows engaging guitar writing, but with little in the way of orchestral drama.......2006-12-11
I will limit my comments here to the Tan Dun piece, as I don't care much for the music of Christopher Rouse.
Tan Dun's concerto for guitar and orchestra "Yi2" (1996) is one of the composer's more avant-garde statements, light years away from the world-music crossover gimmickry of the "Symphony 1997" he was readying around the same-time. That is not to say that Tan Dun's Chinese culture plays a role here, for in fact like all his best work this music is a wholesome and *convincing* synthesis of modern orchestral trends with Dun's rural Chinese upbringing.
Out of classical soloist repertoire, music for guitar has been the most difficult for me. Even with composers that are nearly always satisfying, such as Per Norgard and Toru Takemitsu, their guitar music just leaves me scratching my head. I suspect that it is because growing up with rock music makes the guitar "not classical enough", as it were. How does Tan Dun overcomes my resistence? By writing for the guitar as if it were not a guitar! That is, at times Tan Dun treats the guitar as if it were the pipa, the stringed Chinese folk instrument. At other times he gives an aggressive edge to a usually lilting instrument, even exploring the possibilities of noise.
The orchestral scoring is considerable, with a large string section and four percussionists playing exotic instruments and Tan Dun's own water inventions. Nonetheless, it normally stays out of the way of the soloist. Yet, in the end, that's what gives me reservations about the concerto. Its musical material could have been used just as well for a solo work, there's no sense of dialogue or confrontation between soloist and orchestra.
As much as I admire the guitar writing, "Yi2" ultimately gives mixed feelings. For those new to Tan Dun, I'd recommend the superb DVD of his work "The Map" (on Deutsche Grammophon) or the "Water Passion" (Sony). Save this disc for when you've decided to seek out more.
Flawless work of art!!.......2005-04-19
This disc features unbelievable musical composition, emotional playing, and great depth and breadth a emotion. A must have - truly incredible music.....
Well-deserved award-winner.......2002-07-26
Some new pieces of music sound OK the first or second time you listen to them, then the returns diminish. Others are bad to begin with and get worse.
With this CD, I thought: hmm, pretty nice, maybe I'll listen to it again. Like an opening flower, each subsequent exposure brought greater pleasure. What a suprise that music this subtle yet generous recording would win composer Rouse a Grammy, which often goes to more splashy issues!
This CD has earned an honored--and well worn--parking slot on my collector's shelf!
Complex and amazing.......2001-12-05
Rouse's concerto is one of the richest and most amazingly complex pieces of contemporary music I've heard in quite a while, but is at the same time completely accessible on first listening. Someone should, however, correct Mr. Rouse's mistaken impression that flamenco music has anything to do with the Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi, who was Catalan, not Spanish. Even the writer of the liner notes refers several times to Gaudi as "Spanish" and seems to think that flamenco music is somehow a natural match for his architectural genius. This is somewhat analogous to saying that one should listen to Delta blues while viewing the buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright. Catalan culture is entirely distinct from the Andalucian roots of flamenco. Perhaps Mr. Rouse has never been to Spain. But enough quibbling: the work itself (leaving Gaudi out of it) is astonishing and very highly recommended.
Hurray! For Rouse and Dun.......2001-10-10
Wonderful work Mr. Rouse, I have not heard you
have this much fun since the recording 'Dance Mix'
came out, remember? the piece you wrote for 8 percussionists?
Well, this guitar concerto; "Concert de Gaudi"
is wonderful.There is a chord in the first movement of
