Five-CD limited-edition box set, issued in time for the 30th anniversary
of the Austrian chamber-music festival. “Edition Lockenhaus” returns
long out-of-print titles to the catalogue, with some of the finest
musicians of the New Series, including Gidon Kremer, Kim Kashkashian,
Heinz Holliger, Thomas Zehetmair, Thomas Demenga, Robert Levin, Eduard
Brunner and many more. Gidon Kremer: “The artistic atmosphere in
Lockenhaus soon has everybody speaking on the same wavelength.” The set
opens with previously unreleased recordings – from 2001 and 2008 – with
Sir Simon Rattle and Roman Kofman conducting Kremerata Baltica in
revelatory performances of Richard Strauss’s “Metamorphosen” and Olivier
Messiaen’s “Trois petites Liturgies de la Présence Divine”: the
committed interpretations convey the spirit of Lockenhaus. Discs two
through five focus on music of César Franck, André Caplet, Francis
Poulenc, Leos Janácek, Igor Stravinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich and Erwin
Schulhoff. Original liner notes, an interview with Kremer, and new texts
complete a very special edition. (ECM Records)Five-CD limited-edition box set, issued in time for the 30th anniversary
