Free Music Notes for Frick Collection Recital

Free Music Review: Lovely
Hit: 5 Stars

This disk served as my introduction (and so far, my only exposure) to Kapell. I'd read favorable reviews and so decided to take the plunge (I was looking for a recording of "Pictures").
I would recommend this performance (recorded live at New York City's Frick Collection in 1953) to anyone, including newcomers to classical music. While Richter's Sofia reading of Pictures is in a class by itself, this one comfortably manages to more than hold its own. The other works are all beautifully played by someone who truly understands and "lives with" them; the Copland, which I'd never heard before, was a particular treat. The variety offered is especially nice--the listener travels backwards through time from the 20th Century to the 17th, with Kapell serving as masterful guide. The sonics are quite clean thanks to a super remastering job, allowing this disk to hold its head up in the company of more modern recordings.
Ironically, the lion's share of the performance consists of works composed by men who, like Kapell, died much too young. That his work remains available is his parting gift to us for which we should be grateful. Show your appreciation and respect by sampling his legacy--I promise you won't regret it. Highest recommendation.
