Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The songful poignancy of the viola's natural darkness is shown off to the full in this collection of utterly beautiful and remarkably little-known works for viola and piano. Inoue is at her best in the creation of the rapt atmospheres that draw the listener magnetically into the introversion of Schumann's Märchenbilder ("fairy tales"), Bruch's eloquent Romanze and Bridge's Pensiero. Most of us haven't come across Kalliwoda before, but his Nocturnes prove the equal in melodic invention of any of the better-known composers represented here. The pianist Kathron Sturrock provides a sensitive, nicely balanced partnership and the resonant acoustic suits both instruments and music very well. If across the entire disc there is more similarity of tone and emotion than one might anticipate in recital programmes generally, that is more a function of the way in which Romantic composers tended to respond to the viola than any reflection on the performers. Nevertheless, this is a CD that may well leave you wondering where the viola repertory has been all your life. --Jessica Duchen

5.0 out of 5 stars superb performances of a beautifully chosen programme, 10 Nov 2003
By Mr Patrick J Crooke (Haverhill, Suffolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This album has become one of my favourite viola albums (and as a professional violist I have made it my business to collect most of them). Inoue is a superb musician and her tone is far better than most and second to none of the current generation of viola soloists. Her Bruch Romance is an honest, no nonsense and extremely musical interpretation which in my opinion is the best of the several available on CD and does far more justice to the composers intentions than that of the better known Yuri Bashmet - which I find very self indulgent. In terms of repertoire I think the pick of the bunch of the rest of the programme are the Kalliwoda Nocturnes and the Frank Bridge pieces. As far as I know the Kalliwoda pieces are not available on other recordings and they are stunningly played here. The two Frank Bridge pieces have been recorded elswhere but not as well as this in my view. The pianist Kathron Sturrock has got to be one of the best chamber musicians in the business and her accompanying of Inoue is superb. I hope Inoue will record again soon as she is a very very fine violist.
