Ries: Symphony #4

[Harry]

Erkki Salmenhaara.
Orchestral works.
Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, Eri Klas.

Recorded in 2007 in the Tampere Hall, Tampere, Finland, this CD was the beginning of my great love for this composer, and not only that, thanks to the tireless effort of Jeffrey, @vandermolen we erected a fanclub of which he is President, I am Vice President and my wife Prime secretary, and we welcome those that like to join us
If you do not know his music this disc is a perfect start for a long love affair. Promised.
You get a superb recording and interpretation from the Tampere orchestra.

Vivaldi: Farnace



I'm only in the midst of the first Act, so I'll probably come back later to discuss the actual music. Instead I wanted to mention that, while nearly all these Naive opera volumes have some sort of printing error in the booklet, they have really outdone themselves this time.

There are 7 roles. The outside cardboard box successfully mentions 7 singers. But everything, and I think I mean everything, in the actual booklet only reports 6. It starts with the booklet cover listing only 6 names under the picture, then the internal cover page skipping one role and one singer (separately assigning a singer to apparently the wrong role), then only 6 biographies and 6 photos.

The start of the libretto does list that there are 7 characters and it doesn't take long to hear them all. And of course this is a reissue of a recording previously released on a different record label. And yet somehow, someone managed to go through the whole course of producing the front half of this booklet in 3 languages without noticing a colossal blunder. Either that, or they had a serious vendetta against Sonia Prina.

I kind of hope she complained and got compensated.

My copy has an errata sheet inserted. Photos attached for your convenience in this and the next post.

I thoroughly enjoy his dark, intense music.

And the original Alia Vox issue (which I own and is in the format of a very nice hardcover booklet) has her name on the cover.

A great CD! I bought it after hearing Territoires de l'oubli played by the work's dedicatee Michaël Levinas live in concert here in Madrid, but I think I never listened to CD2 until today.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure.  I am not really sure if I got this as part of a larger set, but I know it was Haitink and was a part of his Mahler cycle.  I couldnt find it on my amazon history, and the actual CD set is at my parents house (along with all of my CDs. I haven't bought any music since I moved to my house in 2019 )
