Live Klemperer Treasure from 1968.......2006-06-27

This extraordinary set of live Klemperer performances should be in the collection of everyone who cares about Klemperer and his marvelous style of music making. Massive and often slow but always vital and alive, they will not appeal to everyone. But it is astonishing how these CDs bring into sharp focus Klemperer's real magnetism on the podium. As good as his EMI recordings are, they are so very much the product of the recording studio one can be forgiven for wondering whether they represent what Klemperer was in fact capable of achieving in live performance, particularly near the end of his career when his various physical disabilities became almost overwhelming impediments to performance. Somehow, almost miraculously, Klemperer put it all together for a few weeks in the late Spring of 1968 in Vienna to produce truly incandescent performances. Not note perfect by any means, this is music making nevertheless for the ages. I suppose the Mahler 9th comes closest to failure as it offers some of the most ragged playing in the set. (According to the excellent liner notes, some of that can be attributed to Klemperer but more to the orchestra's unfamiliarity with Mahler's last great symphony and even downright hostility to Mahler's music in general.) But in the end that raggedness doesn't matter at all. Klemperer's trademark qualities as conductor are very much present in the Mahler as in all these performances: clarity of polyphonic texture; structural integrity; overall rhythmic coherence (even if ensembles are a bit 'shaky' at times). I was particularly moved by the performances of Bach and Mozart -- the 'Jupiter" symphony is positively incandescent -- as well as by the Bruckner Fifth which is, hands down, the greatest performance of that symphony I have ever heard, live or on record. But all these performances are well worth hearing again and again in spite of their foibles. All performances from the 1968 series are in good quality stereo sound; the single mono recording, a very decent-sounding performance of the Brahms German Requiem, is taken from a Klemperer concert in Vienna about ten years earlier. I don't recommend this set to the 'note perfect' crowd or to anyone who has a fixed idea about what is the "best" recording of the Beethoven Fifth or Mahler Ninth. But if you are prepared to hear the 'thoughts' of an old man who has struggled with this music all his life, for whom this music meant more than anything else on earth and for which he was willing to push himself past pain and infirmity for one last encounter, then I think you will be moved and enriched by this priceless set.

Vintage Guitar magazine review:.......1999-01-15

Hot Strings of Switzerland is one of the longest standing and most accomplished of jazz manouche-style bands to follow in Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France's footsteps. Unfortunately, however, finding their CDs in the USA is not an easy task. Now, along comes this re-release of the band's classic first albums available in America from George Buck's Jazzology Records of New Orleans. On this album, Hot Strings is made up of Martin Abbühl on violin, Josef Schibig on rhythm guitar, and Thomas Dürst or Bänz Oester on bass. Last but hardly least is band leader Feré Scheidegger on solo guitar and harmonica. The band eschews musical fireworks and guitar pyrotechnics, striving instead to create tight arrangements and well-orchestrated versions of classic Gypsy jazz tunes and their own originals. This philosophy shines on the group's Douce Ambiance, where the interplay between musicians is at all time rock solid and at certain points simply stunning. Picking out highlights from a band that truly performs as a band does not seem fair, but the soloists naturally shine. Abbühl's violinwork swings with the best of them and Scheidegger's playing downright astonishes. His guitarwork certainly shows traces of Django's stylings, but above all it brings to mind bluesman B.B. King in his near-perfect phrasing and darn-perfect choice of notes---an ironic comparison, as B.B. himself was in turn influenced by Django. On Douce Ambiance, the group has assembled a fine collection of classic cuts, from Django's "Webster" to "Anouman," "Douce Ambiance" to a stirring and novel version of "Minor Swing" that swings with the best of them. Other tunes include "La Foule," "Song d'Automne," and several originals.
