Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: Lied-And-Mélodie Beauties From Viktor Ullmann


...Christina Landshamer’s song recital on Oehms has two short cycles by Austrian composer Viktor Ullmann (1898 – 1944) embedded in selected Robert Schumann songs. You could take the CD as a business card of Christina Landshamer’s, a young and fast-rising all-purpose soprano from Munich, presenting a bit of the conventional with Schumann alongside the unusual with Ullmann (fair enough) and celebrating her youthful, neutral, natural voice – channeled and slightly accelerated through an artificial narrowness – in the process...

Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: Civilized Mozart-Beauty From Uchida And The Cleveland Orchestra (2018)


...The orchestra, conducted from the keyboard, plays with chamber-like assurance and great sensitivity, adding greatly to this wholesome delight. This is one of the longest-running performance- and recording projects in this increasingly short-lived industry, dating back to 1998 (the first self-conducted Mozart performance of Uchida’s in Cleveland) and 2009 (the first recording of that collaboration) respectively...

Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: Víkingur Heiðar Ólafsson; Through The Piano Glass


...It’s easier to quip about Philip Glass’ music than to write intelligently about it. But Víkingur (Heiðar) Ólafsson, the young and trendy Icelandic pianist, shows how it’s done in the liner notes to his first release on Deutsche Grammophon. I first heard the Juilliard-taught student of Ann Schein and Seymour Lipkin when he was a stiff tween at the Icelandic Ambassador’s residence. His image has changed, since...
