 Performances range from the flawless to the impassioned in these triumphant - and occasionally reflective - works
Franz Hauk, ever-resourceful organist of Ingolstadt Minster, has been dredging the libraries and publishers' back-catalogues to unearth repertoire for organ and orchestra beyond the usual diet of Poulenc Concerto and Saint-Saлns Symphony. Whether everything on this lavishly packaged pair of discs can realistically be described as 'Triumphal' is a moot point. Saint-Saлns' charming Sйrйnade (a gorgeous quartet for harp, violin, viola and organ which deserves to be far better known) is graceful and genteel, while Guilmant's uneventful 'Adoration' for organ string orchestra- never seems to rise above a Humble piano throughout its seven minute of deep, introspective prayer. But there is sufficient music with truly triumphalist tendencies to prevent and feeling of deception. Perhaps the arrogant triuymphalish of the brass introduction to Gounod's wholly uncharacteristic Fantasia on the Russian National Hymn (the old pre-Bolshevik one, that is, familiar to all through Tchaikovsky's 1812) is not sustained, but Duhois' gloriously pompous Fantasie thiomphale certainly lives up to its name, and of all the opulent, majestic and, yes, triumphal works for organ and symphony orchestra, none in my opinion can hold a candle to Guilrnant's Second Symphony, here given a truly stirring performance...

Bach - Violin Concertos: Rachel Podger, Brecon Baroque 5.0 out of 5 stars   Back to Bach! ,  October 17, 2010 By  Andres  Sender  (N. CA, USA) This review is from:  Bach: Violin Concertos (Audio CD) For those who already appreciate Rachel Podger's unique brand of magic I'll just say that this return to recorded Bach is lovely and all that one could hope for. All that one looks for is here, and there is more. For those who are not familiar with Rachel Podger, she is a unique voice among violinists. She has absorbed the principles of late Baroque performance practice and made them a part of herself, so that the articulation and inflection of that rhetorical approach to music flows from her as a natural idiom of expression. But this is only h
