Tudor 7167, �13.99
Robin Ticciati, still in his twenties, has already done a symbol as principal transmitter of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the post he took up at the begin of the stream season. In the autumn he will additionally be principal guest transmitter of the Bamberg Symphony, the band he directs on this recording of 4 Brahms choral works. That he entirely merits the open courtesy he is reception and the jobs that keep flooding in is abundantly underlined by these performances, in that his ear for style, item and low-pitched figure is prudent and his mode of countenance sound. This is mellow Brahms, with the Schiller-based Nänie created in mental recall of a close friend. Gesang der Parzen ("Song of the Fates") is some-more anguished and takes the content from Goethe, the same producer whose difference Brahms set for the Alto Rhapsody, in that Alice Coote, if not in enough abyss of sonority, is the resonant soloist.
The Schicksalslied, to difference by Hölderlin, continues and concludes the discs contemplative mood, high and sensitively uttered at the start, some-more agonised as the realities of human life are brought to the fore. The Bavarian forces perform the song with a soft, eager glow.
