[ RCA Red Seal / 17 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Thursday 14 June 2018
Sony Classical presents a 17-disc recording set of one of the most successful recorder masters, Michala Petri.
Michala has made Baroque sonatas and concertos her own, premiered exciting new works and arrangements, and forged some groundbreaking partnerships. Her complete recordings for RCA, released between 1987 and 2001, are now reissued in a complete release from Sony Classical.
Perhaps her most eye-catching collaboration has been with jazz legend Keith Jarrett, who played harspichord on two albums with Petri in the early 1990s. Gramophone noted the marvelous freedom of Petris playing on the Handel album and the close rapport the performers share, with no need of support from a continuo instrument.
But her most enduring creative partnership has been with her husband, the guitarist and lutenist Lars Hannibal. The couple has performed a wide range of music together, from Baroque sonatas to their own innovative arrangements of music by composers as diverse as Schubert, Rachmaninoff and Satie.
Three period-spanning albums of Petri-Hannibal collaborations are included in this set. Contemporary music makes a notable appearance on The Modern Recorder, performed by the Petri Trio, as well as Moonchilds Dream, with the English Chamber Orchestra and conductor Okko Kamu a beauty of an album (Classical.net) that contains five world premiere recordings from composers including Thomas Koppell, Vagn Holmboe and Malcolm Arnold.
Other albums also highlight Petris affinity with the music of Scandinavia: Grieg is the focus of an entire album, while another includes music by the likes of Alfvén and Nielsen. Of course, the Baroque repertoire is not neglected. An early Petri Trio album contains a selection of virtuoso work, while Telemann, Albinoni and Vivaldi are well represented elsewhere. In pride of place is her landmark recording of The Four Seasons in her own transcription: an account of a familiar work that, according to Gramophone, could hardly be more distinctive.
