Overview

This album presents a dynamic and diverse collection of orchestral works conducted by the renowned Thomas Schippers, a maestro celebrated for his expressive interpretations and commanding stage presence. Featuring a lineup of some of the most influential composers from the Baroque to the 20th century—Sergei Prokofiev, Gioachino Rossini, Antonio Vivaldi, Francesco Durante, and Antonio Salieri—the recording showcases Schippers' remarkable versatility and musical sensitivity.

At the heart of this compilation is Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 100, a monumental work composed during the final years of World War II. Schippers captures the symphony’s sweeping emotional arc with intensity and clarity, highlighting the tension, irony, and hope that define Prokofiev’s late style. Also featured is Rossini’s overture from L'Assedio di Corinto, a vibrant and dramatic piece that demonstrates the Italian composer’s flair for operatic grandeur and rhythmic vitality. Alongside these works are exquisite selections from Vivaldi, Durante, and Salieri, performed with stylistic precision and lyrical beauty. These Baroque gems offer a contrast to the Romantic and modern pieces, showcasing the elegance and expressive nuance of earlier musical traditions. The performances, delivered by prestigious ensembles including the Philharmonia Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Orchestra Alessandro Scarlatti, are a testament to Schippers’ ability to draw out both power and subtlety from each ensemble. The album stands as a rich listening experience, appealing to connoisseurs of orchestral music and newcomers alike, with its compelling interpretations and wide-ranging repertoire.

French Translation - Overview

Cet album propose une collection éclectique et captivante d’œuvres orchestrales dirigées par le célèbre chef Thomas Schippers, reconnu pour son style de direction expressif et son autorité musicale. Rassemblant des compositions emblématiques de Sergueï Prokofiev, Gioachino Rossini, Antonio Vivaldi, Francesco Durante et Antonio Salieri, cet enregistrement met en lumière la diversité des styles musicaux du baroque au XXe siècle.

Pièce maîtresse de cette compilation, la Symphonie n° 5 en si bémol majeur, Op. 100 de Prokofiev est une œuvre magistrale écrite en 1944, au cœur de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Schippers en livre une interprétation saisissante, soulignant la tension dramatique, l’ironie et les élans d’espoir qui caractérisent le langage musical du compositeur russe. L’album comprend également l’ouverture de L’Assedio di Corinto de Rossini, œuvre flamboyante illustrant la virtuosité dramatique et le sens du rythme propre au maître de l’opéra italien. Des pièces choisies de Vivaldi, Durante et Salieri viennent enrichir le programme avec élégance, représentant toute la finesse et la richesse expressive de la musique baroque. Ces interprétations, portées par des orchestres prestigieux tels que le Philharmonia Orchestra, le London Symphony Orchestra, et l’Orchestra Alessandro Scarlatti, témoignent du talent de Schippers à insuffler autant de puissance que de subtilité à chaque ensemble. Cet album offre une expérience d’écoute raffinée et variée, idéale aussi bien pour les amateurs éclairés que pour ceux qui découvrent l’univers orchestral.
