    Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) is not really known for writing simple music, or at least music whose many arguments are rather easy to follow. Yet what we have here are brilliantly conceived (and brilliantly executed) chamber works of astonishing simplicity, works that nonetheless convey Schnittke's characteristic polytonal style with absolute clarity. Best here is the meditative Piano Quintet (of 1976), in which the piano tends to unify the clashing lines of the argumentative strings. The same holds true for the String Trio (of 1985). This work is more laden with satirical moments, as it starts out flirting with the Baroque then becomes more twisted and nightmarish as it unravels. Schnittke's music isn't for everybody, but this disc might stand as an excellent primer for newcomers. Highly recommended. --Paul Cook

    4 out of 5 stars Mournful works for strings and piano performed by those who knew and loved Schnittke.......2006-09-12

    This Naxos disc collects five pieces by the late Russian composer Alfred Schnittke. The first is recently rediscovered youthful work in its world premiere recording, and we then skip over his dabbling in serialism in the 1960s to music from later periods. The performers here are virtuosi, many of whom knew Schittke personally, such as the composer's widow Irina Schnittke on piano, his biographer Alexander Ivashkin on cello, and a dedicatee of several works, Mark Lubotsky, on violin. The pieces were recorded live at the Australian Festival of Chamber Music (hence the advertisement in the liner notes for the Townsville City Council) but all sound superb.

    "Fuga" for solo violin (1953) appears for the first time here. Written when the composer was only 19 years old, this fugue hints much at the restricted musical life of Stalinist Russia in its ability to channel Bach so directly without interference from 20th century musical developments. A pizzicato passage between two arco portions divides the work cleanly in half. While entertaining enough, the piece seems totally unconnected from the rest of Schnittke's career, and so ultimately comes across as fairly unsubstantial.

    Schnittke wrote his great "Piano Quintet" (1976) in memory of his mother, though many believe it to be mourning for Shostakovich as well. Opening with sorrowful pointilistic piano writing, it strikingly transforms into a gentle waltz, which is then intensified in tempo and dynamic until any element of fun in its swinging motions is overcome by tears. There follows a string threnody marked Andante . Schnittke has always had a talent for stunning endings--witness the Cello Concerto or the Concerto Grosso No. 2--and in the efervescent notes of the final "Moderato pastorale" the mourning of the previous four sections is slowly but firmly replaced by acceptance and peace.

    The "String Trio", written in the spring of 1985, is one of Schnittke's last overtly polystilistic pieces--his first stroke later in the year changed his style drastically--and it is one of his most profound. Originally commisioned for the Alban Berg's centenary, the piece explores the general theme of earlier Viennese music as seen by a composer in a very different place and time. It is also bound up with Schnittke's brief residence in Vienna in his youth, when the city of so many musical heroes had been ravaged by war. Its musical basis is on the one hand fairly simple, a recurring six-note cadence, but on the other hand this twenty-minute work ranges through all sorts of styles in its repetition of this theme, from elegant classicism to melodramatic romanticism to the Soviet tradition.

    "Stille Musik" (1979) is a brief piece for violin and cello that is probably my favourite here, a rich landscape of various sounds that avoid any fixed points but which nonetheless have a clear dramatic arc. Pizzicato and microtones give it some exotic touches. "Klingende Buchstaben" for solo cello (1988) is the latest piece represented here and the only one in his later style. The polystylism and hints at romanticism of his earlier material are gone, and instead we find a new clarity of texture and aggression.

    If I rate this disc less than five stars, it's only because I'm partial to Schnitke's orchestral works. After getting used to the expanded timbres of the "Viola Concerto", "Cello Concerto No. 1", and the concerti grossi, these chamber works sound a tad bit lacking. Nonetheless, for fans of the composer who seek a budget introduction to some of the more sombre parts of his oeuvre this is a worthy buy. The strength of the performances and the renowned players make it all the more recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2005-10-18

    Absolutelly beautiful,spiritual and sometimes very moving(especialy Quintet)CD of one of the XX century music giants.Alfred Schnittke is one from the group of former Soviet-Russian composers(others being Arvo Part,Valentin Silvestrov,Sofia Gubaidulina,Gya Kanchely and Edison Denisov) whose music got its true recognition all over the world ,proving that no political system can supress a true and profound Artist.Highly recommended ,together with another wonder - Trio Sonata+Viola Concerto performed by Yuri Bashmet.

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing.......2004-07-08

    After listening to this CD, I'm surprised Schnittke does not have a more famous name in the classical music world. I happened to come upon this item here and bought it because the previous reviewers seemed to like it so much, and I was not disappointed! Some of the pieces get a bit dense at times and seem to slip into meaningless cacophony, but overall these pieces are absolutely beautiful. My favorite, strangely enough, is the fugue for solo violin. How can this have gone unrecorded for so long!?

    Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Weeping Russian Music.......2003-01-17

    Up until I got this disc, I had little interest in the music of Schnittke, though I had heard him praised to the nines in the pages of Fanfare. I had heard one piece before that had struck me as forbiding and had not explored the composer in any more depth. My loss. This CD, at it's bargain price, induced me to try a little more Schnittke and I'm glad I did. This music is haunting and profound.

    The two major works on this disc are the Piano Quintet and the String Trio. Both are sustantial, dark works in a "weep for Russia" kind of style. Schnittke obviously shows influence of Shostakovitch, and through the older Russian, of Mahler, Bruckner, Brahms, Beethoven....you name it. But he also includes techniques pioneered in the 60s in Germany France and Poland. Of the two large pieces, the Quintet is nominally more interesting. The piece is a heartfelt response to the death of the composer's mother. The string writing is dense, with the piano often chiming in on one repeated note, like a bell toll. Several movements contain the ghost of an old waltz, twisted beyond recognition. The language careens between tonal, and violently atonal and even microtonal. However the conclusion of the piece, in unadulterated major, is a true apotheosis. It moved me to tears.

    The Trio is also a beautiful and very moving work. Set it a primarily dissonant serial language, windows open up in the work where romantic motives and lush triads ring through for a few seconds. What amazes about Schnittke's style in these works is how beautifully it all holds together. The works never feel like a pastiche. The tonal material is integrated into the overall framework in some mysterious way that I can't quite put my finger on. (Are there motivic connections? Is it something deeper?) As such, it seems more of a piece than much of the work of more quotational composers like Rochberg, fine as he is.

    The smaller works on the album are also effective. The duo for Violin and Piano shows Schnittke's mastery of string writing. The sound is so rich and full that you rarely are aware that there are only two instruments, yet, the players never sound taxed beyond their limits. The solo cello work is lovely and the Fugue is a fun piece of juvenilia. On the whole, a terrific program

    Performances seem excellent to me. Naxos has a genius for coaxing terrific performances out of relatively unknown musicians, at least unknown to the general public. This Australian group is no exception. I hope this is not the last disc they record.

    Product Description

    The solo piano melodies for my fourth CD, The Voice, were recorded at George Lucas's Skywalker Sound Studio, and the album was produced by Will Ackerman, Founder of Windham Hill Records and Grammy Award winning producer and artist. This project follows three CD releases, and is my first as a full-time pianist and composer, Pianist of Peace(TM). These thirteen pieces take the listener on a journey that explores a wide range of emotions and themes. I trust that they will bring peace and hope to you in a very unique and personal way. There are two tracks that include the ethereal vocals of Noah Wilding (Captivating and Peace), and two that are accompanied by renowned cellist Eugene Friesen (Tears of Lament and Eternity).

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2006-02-27

    I had received one of Stanton's previous recordings Still Waters from a friend last year. It found a unique and treasured place within my music collection. When I bought The Voice, I was expecting another CD of similar quality.

    I was both surprised and delighted---Stanton's compositions have grown in both depth and breadth, and the CD is a whole level above Still Waters in multiple ways:

    Technical excellence: the performance and recording quality is outstanding, in part due to the input of the very talented Will Ackerman and the world famous facilities of Skywalker Sound Studios.

    Breadth: there is more variety of tone and form in this album than the previous, but within the variety there is still the necessary unity that prevents the album from being too discordant and still accomplishes well his basic mission of music "bringing peace to the soul."

    Cello: As beautiful as Stanton's piano is, my soul has always been drawn to the cello, and his decision to exert his gifts to wed piano and cello on two tracks was simply beautiful.

    Liner Notes: On this CD there are extensive liner notes on each track which give both personal insight and perspective and a clear testimony to the God behind them.

    All in all, an outstanding achievement. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars From Solo Piano Publications.......2005-12-06

    "The Voice" is pianist Stanton Lanier's fourth album to date. The first three recordings were self-produced (I haven't heard them), but this one was produced by Grammy Award winning Will Ackerman, who was also the founder of Windham Hill Records. Calling himself "Pianist of Peace" and his foundation "Music to Light the World," Lanier's melodies have spiritual inspiration and he incorporates scripture into his liner notes to explain where the music came from. However, he also states that his desire is for listeners to enjoy the music for itself and for them to receive a sense of peace and hope. Most of the thirteen tracks are solo piano, but two include vocals by Noah Wilding and two are piano and cello duets with Eugene Friesen. The recording was done at George Lucas' Skywalker Sound Studio, so the sound quality is exceptional. Drawing from a variety of human experiences and emotions, the music is both deeply personal and universal. Most of the songs are on the quiet side, but a couple are more energetic and joyous, which adds a nice contrast.

    The CD begins with "Secret Things," a gentle and very melodic piece with a warm and peaceful flow. The title track is stunning in its simplicity and clarity. Quietly searching, one feels a strong sense of hope and peace. Gorgeous! "All Things" has a contagious energy and was originally improvised for an audience of middle and high school students. It is very joyous and free. "Resting" returns to quiet simplicity with a soothing a deeply relaxing piece that has a lot of open space between the notes. Another real beauty! "Peace" was composed in memory of a young child who died of leukemia. The first half of the piece is like a music box lullaby - sweet and delicate - and then the piano goes deeper and the ethereal voice of Noah Wilding comes in, suggesting an angel watching over all of us and bringing us peace. I love this one! "Freedom" becomes more energetic, describing how the human spirit finds true freedom through serving others in love. My two favorite tracks are the cello and piano duets. "Tears of Lament" explores the times of sadness and mourning that happen in life. Eugene Friesen's cello takes us deep within the pain of loss without becoming melodramatic or maudlin. Wow! "Eternity" is an invitation to a peaceful place, for Lanier a welcome home to heaven. In this piece, the cello is more poignant than sad. Both of these pieces are standouts.

    "The Voice" is a very soothing a beautiful CD that can take you to a peaceful and gentle place and give a sense of renewal. Recommended!

        I really enjoy listening to this music. It is good background music, yet not boring to listen to. Mr.Gibson uses truly masterful musical techniques to bring back old southern songs. This is one of my favorite CDs!

          Album Description

          I focused on my favorite places across North Carolina and traveled there for inspiration. Using my guitar, Celtic whistles and piano I composed 14 songs. Later other layers of instrumentation were added including cello, violin, hammered dulcimer, flute, saxophone, bass, organ and percussion by a group of outstanding musicians.

          Next, I took a digital tape deck and returned to many of these spots and recorded natural sounds that reminded me of these treasured locations. I have woven together many of these sounds into the fabric of the songs. Sounds of waterfalls, rushing rivers, tin roof rain, migratory songbirds, tundra swans and distant trains add a vibrant thread of realism to the melodies.

          What a warm and "Peaceful Journey" this has been for me! Thank you for traveling with me for sojourns at Ocracoke, Montreat, Kanuga, Lake Mattamuskeet, Bath, Roan Mountain, Roaring Gap, Morganton, the Roanoke River, Grandfather Mountain and other locations.

          5 out of 5 stars Truly a peaceful musical journey.......2005-05-06

          A beautiful piece of work and such a wonderful representation of North Carolina. With each play, you hear something you did not hear previously. The combination of music and natural sounds sets a mood that is very unique. Bill Leslie is known to us in North Carolina as a trusted reporter and native of our great state. He is also a very talented artist. A Peaceful Journey is a unique experience.

          5 out of 5 stars Peaceful Journey is incredibly soothing........2004-12-13

          "Peaceful Journey" by Bill Leslie is one of the most pleasant, soothing and melodic albums I have ever heard. Integrating natural sounds with original tunes written for flute, acoustic guitar, cello, violin, piano and hammered dulcimer, Leslie has created a masterpiece honoring the North Carolina landscape he loves so much. This CD is a perfect companion for a long road trip or a peaceful evening at home.

          I bought this CD recently and began wondering how classical music might sound combined with nature sounds. As I listened, I wasn't even close to what I predicted. Each song was carefully selected and accompanied by the right sounds creating a more pleasing mood in addition to a great concentrating atmosphere. What also makes this CD intriguing is the varieties of famous composer such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bach, and Delibes. With the sounds of nature in each track, this CD will induce relaxation and a calm, peacful atmosphere.

          Punk rock like it should be. Catchy, aggresive music that will stick in your head. If you like the Ramones, Dickies, you'll love flatus. Listen to the CD, and catch them live. It's worth every penny.
