Gil Shaham_Jonathan Feldman - Devil's Dance [Classical][mp3 320][h33t][schon55]Gil Shaham_Jonathan Feldman - Devil's DanceComposer: Antonio Bazzini, William Bolcom, Johannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, et al.Performer: Jonathan Feldman, Gil ShahamAudio CD (September 12, 2000)Label: Deutsche GrammophonBitrate: 320 kbpsThough it's haunted by goblins, ghosts, and monsters, it is hard to find anything very satanic in much of this music, except its fiendishly difficult pyrotechnics. Its sole purpose is to display Gil Shaham's devilishly dazzling virtuosity, glorious tone, elegance, humor, and bewitching charm. The only substantial piece is Tartini's "Devil's Trill Sonata," in Kreisler's edition complete with his long, diabolically strenuous cadenza; Shaham plays it very beautifully, with genuine, moving expressiveness. Elsewhere, his tongue is never far from his cheek, whether he is tossing off Bazzini's "Rondo de Lutins" perfectly at top speed, or having fun with the fireworks of Korngold's "Caprice fantastique," Sarasate's "Faust Fantasie," Grieg's "Puck" arranged by Joseph Achron, Paganini's Caprice No. 13, with a piano part by Robert Schumann, and Saint-Sa�ns' "Dance macabre," in which the pianist doubles for a whole orchestra. There are also transcriptions of passionately romantic pieces by Brahms and Mendelssohn, and excursions into different styles: William Bolcom's "Graceful Ghost" rag; "Transylvanian Lullaby" from John Morris's soundtrack for "Young Frankenstein" transcribed by Shaham's pianist, Jonathan Feldman; and the title piece, "Devil's Dance" arranged by John Williams from his soundtrack for "The Witches of Eastwick." You can safely invite this devil of a violinist into your home--he is excellent company. ~ Edith EislerWhile not always frightening as much as classical music with a Halloween theme, this is a fine recording to play at parties if the guests fancy this kind of music. The title refers to the Devil's Dance, for violin & piano from the film Witches of Eastwick, a work composed by John Williams. It is followed by A Transylvanian Rhapsody from the comic film Young Frankeinstein. The most famous piece of all "Danse Macabre" was Saint Saens' ghoulish work that nearly caused his mother a heart attack at the premire. Using stage effects like smoke and mist, Saint Saens had dancing skeletons waltzing on stage. The Devil Trill Sonata by Tartini has a frightening story behind it. It was rumored that the composer dreamt that the Devil gave him the score to this violin piece. It is played at an impossible speed and is one of the most difficult violin pieces ever composed. Only few violinists take on this piece. The music on this album is however not as scary as some other classical Halloween CD's out there but violin afficionados will be quite delighted. ~ Rudy AvilaComposer:Antonio Bazzini, William Bolcom, Johannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Felix Mendelssohn, John Morris,Niccolo Paganini, Camille Saint-Saens, Pablo de Sarasate, Giuseppe Tartini, John Williams, Eugene YsayePerformer:Jonathan Feldman, Gil ShahamDETAILED Gil Shaham_Jonathan Feldman - Devil's Dance Tracks:01 Devil's Dance, for violin & piano ( from Witches of Eastwick )Composed by John Williamswith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman02 A Transylvanian Rhapsody from Young Frankenstein, for violin & piano ( arr. by Feldman ) A Transylvanian LullabyComposed by John [composer] Morriswith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman03 Sm�trold ( Puck ), lyric piece for piano, Op. 71/3Composed by Edvard Griegwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman04 Danse macabre, symphonic poem in G minor, Op. 40Composed by Camille Saint-Saenswith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman05 M�rchenbilder, for piano, No. 4, The Gnomes, Op. 3/4Composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngoldwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman06 Walpurgisnacht ( "Lieb Mutter, heut Nacht..." ), duet for 2 sopranos & piano, Op. 75/4Composed by Johannes Brahmswith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman07 Andres Maienlied ( "Die Schwalbe fliegt" ), song for voice & piano ( "Hexenlied" ), Op. 8/8Composed by Felix Mendelssohnwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman08 La Ronde des Lutins, scherzo fantastique for violin & piano, Op 25Composed by Antonio Bazziniwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman09 The Graceful Ghost, a concert variation for violin & pianoComposed by William Bolcomwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman10 Concert Fantasy on themes from Gounod's "Faust," for violin & orchestra ( or piano )Composed by Pablo de Sarasatewith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman11 Caprice for solo violin in B flat major ( "The Devil's Chuckle" ), Op. 1/13Composed by Niccolo Paganiniwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman12 Sonata for violin & continuo in G minor, B. g5 ( "The Devil's Trill" )Composed by Giuseppe Tartiniwith Gil Shaham, Jonathan Feldman13 Sonata for violin solo No. 2 in A minor ( "Obsession" ), Op. 27/2 ObsessionComposed by Eugene-Auguste Ysayewith Gil Shaham, Jonathan FeldmanGil Shaham_Jonathan Feldman - Devil's Dance Tracks:01 The Witches of Eastwick - Devil's Dance - for Gil Shaham 4:1102 Young Frankenstein - A Transsylvanian Lullaby 3:5903 Lyric Pieces Op.71 - Puck 1:4604 Danse macabre, Op.40 - transcribed f. vl./pn. by Cps 6:4105 Caprice fantastique 3:5406 Balladen und Romanzen, op.75 - violin and piano - Walpurgisnacht 1:4907 Lieder op.8 - violin / piano - Hexenlied 2:1808 La Ronde des Lutins - scherzo fantastique, Op.25 5:1609 Graceful Ghost - Concert Variation for Violin and Piano 8:3110 Concert Fantasy on Gounod's "Faust" 11:2211 24 Caprices for Violin, Op.1 - transcribed f.vln/pno by Robert Schumann - no.13 in B flat major 2:4312 Sonata for Violin and Continuo in G minor, B. g5 - "Il trillo del diavolo" 14:1613 Sonata No.2 in A minor for solo violin, Op.27, No.2 - Obsession
