An interpreter's magic that is spell-binding........2001-04-13

Here is a welcome to a "Nostalgia" series by Naxos, and a welcome into the 21st Century to the great Irish tenor John McCormack. Younger shoppers may not be familiar with this remarkable singer who once rivalled Caruso in the recording popularity stakes. Blessed with the naturally beautiful voice and the secure breath control that any singer might envy, McCormack had the additional ability to communicate directly and memorably and vividly. He polished and perfected his inimitably Irish diction until he felt confident that every listener in the largest auditorium could hear and understand every word. Feeling he had no flair for foreign languages or for acting, he retired early from the operatic stage, but not before he had made recordings of several Mozart and Handel arias that have remained models ever since. Some of his recordings of lieder by Hugo Wolf, moreover, can still send shivers down the spine.

This CD of "Favourites" provides songs he recorded between 1912 and 1940. The sentiments may be passé (patriotism, nostalgia, piety, the praise of women and the sorrow of parting) but the sincerity and charm transcend fashion. There is also an interpreter's magic evident in the dramatic monologue "Kathleeen Mavourneen" and the jaunty recounting of what happened in "The Garden Where the Praties Grow" that is spell-binding.

Disappointing potpourri with abysmal Moonlight Sonata.......2004-08-25

Hungarian pianist Péter Nagy has made quite a few recordings for a number of labels, but I found this 1987 Naxos potpourri rather disappointing. The end of the CD is the best part: Nagy gives a rousing version of Liszt's "Mephisto Waltz" which shows off his ability as a pianist to good advantage. But a lot of the other material on this CD is, in my opinion, not well done. The Adagio sostenuto from Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" sounds anything but romantic; this is not the moon shining on a Swiss lake, as the poet Rellstab thought, it is more like the nextdoor neighbours hammering away to get their woodframe house finished. A comparison of Nagy's version with Rudolf Buchbinder on Warner Classics was like being in two different worlds: Buchbinder sounds like he really believes in Beethoven's music, Nagy sounds like he is playing it because he has to. The same is more or less true of all the slower pieces on this disc, which come over accurately but without real emotion. It's only with the faster, more showy pieces that Nagy begins to get more convincing, but that is not enough to make this CD a winner. The recording quality is good, but not as good as on Volume 1 of the same series.
