A fun disc and nearly – but not quite – a terrific one. The Philharmonics are an instrumental ensemble (not the African American vocal quintet of the 1950s and ’60s) – a string quintet with clarinet and piano. Four members are from the Vienna Philharmonic, one from the Berlin Philharmonic, with the addition of the two Jáno≈ka brothers Roman (second violin) and Franti≈ek (piano). They begin with a medley called K&K Rhapsody, a kind of ‘spot the tune from the Austro-Hungarian Empire’ (with the odd snatch of Verdi), and follow that with some wonderfully spirited Kreisler (a Marche miniature viennoise to match the gemütlich charm of the composer’s recordings), Brahms, Dinicu and Johann Strauss II. The acoustic is airy fin de siècle spa hotel.
Then it all goes a bit odd. The delightful French soprano Patricia Petibon sings ‘Somewhere’ from West Side Story (why?) unconvincingly, three further Kreisler numbers are given the jazz treatment unpersuasively and Polish tenor Piotr Beczaπa sings Godard’s gentle Berceuse in an uncomfortably high tessitura. The Philharmonics end entertainingly with Enescu’s Rhapsodie roumaine and a flurry of those violinistic bird effects so beloved of gypsy fiddlers.
The booklet is a disgrace. If the original German ever made much sense, the translation is the verbal equivalent of that Morecambe and Wise gag: all the words but not necessarily in the right order. For example, we read that ‘The Philharmonics – this is lived musicality of the highest niveau…’ No one to correct this tosh who bothers is there?by Jeremy Nicholas
The Philharmonics' film of Second Viennese School arrangements of Strauss waltzes, recorded by Accentus Music in the Café Sperl, was one of my highlights of 2011. This new disc, fresh out on Deutsche Grammophon, finds the septet in equally fine form. Linked by the theme of finality, of life, of the whole Kakania world, the recording is not only a great piece of entertainment - minus two overdressed vocal interruptions - but also a superb musical document.
The Philharmonics are largely drawn from the Vienna Phil. The players' knowledge of and passion for the music of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, predominant here as on their 2011 film, is self-evident. But as well as providing the requisite virtuosity, there's a real sense of fun-loving abandon about the playing, even when captured in a studio. Witty arrangements, one of which features passages from Jenůfa and Der Rosenkavalier, provide showcases for individual talent as well as moments of touching musical insight.
It is a shame that the group or Deutsche Grammophon chose to shoe-horn Patricia Petibon and Piotr Beczala onto the recording. The former's 'Somewhere' from West Side Story fails to learn from Bernstein's (or Kiri Te Kanawa's) mistakes on that infamously unidiomatic performance of the musical. While Beczala's performance of the 'Berceuse' from Benjamin Godard's Jocelyn feels considerably more at home, it too provides a hiatus in an otherwise infectious party.
Much finer are the group's staggeringly tight but interpretatively giddy performances of Piazzolla, a rather camp Danse macabre and Frantisek Jánoska's witty Presto Fight, with splashes of Kreisler and Djagno Reinhard. And as the tempo accelerates, and we hurtle towards oblivion, it's hard to resist the do or die atmosphere of this recording.By Entartete Musik, amazon
