Product Description

Review

The highlight of the evening came... with the world premiere of Richard Harveys Concerto Incantato, a work written specifically for this concert and for Michala Petri and five (or perhaps it was six?) of her recorders... Harveys work brings together a broad range of musical influences...oozing walls of warm string harmony and a distinct story-telling quality a highly consumable work commandingly performed. --Mark Tjhung, Time Out Hong Kong

Thus this welcome release can truly be said contains many Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not --IRR, July/Aug'12

'This is a delightful CD, as one might expect: light and airy music, delicately orchestrated and beautifully performed and recorded. What more need one say? Charming listening pleasure.' --Eve Edwards, Musical Opinion, Nov/Dec '12

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music and a dazzling performance 6 April 2012

By E. Laino

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

This was recommended by a friend who was trying to convince me that the recorder - which I remembered with horror from school - was a serious musical instrument. Case proved. In Michala Petri's hands, it's a revelation. The Richard Harvey Recorder Concerto, premiered here, is amazing. The CD notes talk about a concerto for the Harry Potter generation and this would make fantastic music for one last film, if JK Rowling ever changes her mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful recording! 12 April 2012

By ElvinFox

Format:Audio CD

Mesmerising, soothing, and beautiful. Three words one would not usually associate with the sounds of the recorder. However, upon listening to the Richard Harvey Recorder Concerto, my opinion was changed immediately. The attention to detail is evident, and the execution of Michala Petri's performance is exquisite. Truly a gratifying listen and not one to miss out on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical 11 April 2012

By Kritikos

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Vibrant playing from Petri of a solo part which shows not only how much Richard Harvey knows about the recorder, being an excellent player himself, but how much he knows about the colours the orchestra can give us. There are nods to the Medieval, Mendelssohn, Respighi, Harry Potter... and I particular enjoyed the middle movement, the Danza. Don't be too close to the speaker when Petri hits the high last note of the final cascade!

5.0 out of 5 stars consummate composer 14 April 2012

By billmus

Format:Audio CD

R.Harvey, recorder concerto: Here we have a composer, like Arnold, with the ability to draw in the listener to a world that is understood and almost familiar but at one and the same time, new and fresh and sparkling. Harvey is a skilled widely experienced working composer who happens to be himself a recorder/wind virtuoso so no surprises for the bringing together of technical demands that work and a musical narrative that immediately engages and leads as it weaves it's web across five magical episodes. All the virtuosity comes out of the chosen materials, from consummate lyricism to fiery gymnastics nothing is fatuous or superfluous. Ms Petri rises to the occasion with panache and soul, a true meeting of two creatives in control of their respective media...wonderful piece....would loved to have heard the impromptu duo from composer and soloist ( sleeve photos )at the first performance.....more please....

5.0 out of 5 stars Another one for the Hall of Fame 12 April 2012

By Izzy

Format:Audio CD

Listening to Classic FM's Hall of Fame countdown, I heard Richard Harvey's Concerto Antico for guitar, played by John Williams, which is lovely. But this is surely going to be even more popular. It's gone straight onto my Desert Island Discs list, but the BBC hasn't got round to calling me yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A star is born... 1 April 2012

By Ian E

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Stop the voting. This is 2012's Record of the Year. At a stroke, with one 30-minute masterpiece, Richard Harvey has put himself up there with Purcell, Elgar and Lennon/McCartney in the short list of English composers whose music touches everyone.

These tunes will be everywhere this summer - played to death on Classic FM, sampled by rappers, nicked for TV commercials and surely providing, in the great English Theme towards the end of the concerto, a new anthem for the Olympics coverage.

Michala Petri, the Clapton of the recorder, plays with dazzling speed and fire, while the cocky, rhythmic orchestra is more like a 28-piece band. The other two concertos are great, in their way, but they don't transform your view of the instrument like Harvey's astonishing achievement. I'm off to buy shares in recorder makers, as this will give a million kids new ideas about what to aim for. Six stars out of five. Do yourself a favour and buy it now - you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recording. Great performance.... 13 April 2012

By The Syrys one

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Just fantastic. But I have to write at least 20 words, so...brilliant crystal clear liquid sounding recording, just the stuff to test a great hifi system. Petri's performances are faultless yet exhilarating rather than safe. The music is all wonderful and the Jacob suite hasn't aged at all, a bit like Petri! So...5 stars....they are Petri, Thorel, Harvey, Arnold and Jacob!
