First Vinyl Release From Chandos In Years!
180g Vinyl LP! First Time On Vinyl!
Responding to overwhelming popular demand, Chandos released Verdi and Variations as a 12 LP for the first time. This venture is Chandos first LP production in many years. The works on the record are performed by Canadian ensemble I Musici de Montreal under the direction of the late, lamented Yuli Turovsky. Despite Giuseppi Verdis curt dismissal of his one and only chamber work as of no importance, it nevertheless received a fantastic reception at its premier and was hailed as a masterpiece. The present recording is a string orchestra arrangement by Yuli Turovsky. The other two works represent two composers unique takes on Verdis music. Antonio Pascullis Grand Concerto on Themes from Verdis I vespri siciliani was designed to showcase the composers considerable virtuosity as an oboist; it is here played by Philippe Magnan. Marc-Oliver Dupins Fantasia on Arias from La Traviata (1995), revisits the fantasy genre in a set of six contrasting and highly entertaining variations.
