Alpha is launching a collaboration with the Ensemble Intercontemporain and its new artistic director, composer-conductor Matthias Pintscher.
This new series will alternate 20th-century landmarks and new works, providing an opportunity to show to advantage the great quality of the EIC musicians in the major masterpieces of the last century and to discover scores by composers of the 21st century.
Gramophone Magazine - Editor's Choice - December 2015
"Others may have taken the opening Vivace of Ligeti's Piano Concerto at more of a lick, but the precision here packs a punch, and there's a sheer sense of fun as the final two movements develop into wild jam sessions…Jeanne-Marie Conquer captures the lyrical nature of the Violin Concerto, especially in the beautiful second movement" (BBC Music Five Stars)
"These are finely balanced ensemble performances, with Hideki Nagano outstanding in the piano work; excellent balance and rhythmic sharpness also characterise the more familiar Bartók classics on the companion disc." (The Guardian)
Tracks:
Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 'From the New World'
Janacek: Sinfonietta
