\"Top<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t happen so often, but this week, there are no newcomers to the Classical Chartz Top Ten. In fact, the top two spots are locked at the positions they held last week, with Max Richter<\/strong> (In a Landscape<\/strong>) holding on to the top spot, and German tenor Jonas Kaufmann<\/strong> at the No. 2 with Puccini Love Affairs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting the nice contrast they make. From a postminimalist\/contemporary composer and his own work, to an homage to one of opera history\u2019s favourites, it illustrates the depth and breadth of the classical music world as it is today.<\/p>\n

The two fastest rising releases this week belong to Toronto\u2019s own Tafelmusik & Rachel Podger<\/strong>, with their simply named Haydn Symphonies 43 & 49<\/strong>, and Igor Levit<\/strong>, with conductor Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic<\/strong> and their equally prosaically titled Brahms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Levit talks about recording with the Vienna Phil at the legendary the Wiener Musikverein in a media release<\/a>. \u201cI was sitting in the first rehearsal and the horn began to play.\u00a0 You do not really want to start playing, but rather to say to the hornist: can you please play that again?\u00a0 It was so beautiful.\u201d The pianist is drawn to the romanticism and deep emotions touched on in Brahms\u2019 work.<\/p>\n

Haydn Symphonies 43 & 49: Mercury & La Passione<\/strong> may be the first recording for the fruitful partnership of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and violinist Rachel Podger, but the Haydn Symphonies are familiar territory for the ensemble.<\/p>\n

Back in the 1990s, Tafelmusik released several recordings, including the Haydn symphonies with conductor Bruno Weil. The German-born conductor, who\u2019d go on to become Tafelmusik\u2019s principal guest conductor, had extended an invitation to the orchestra to be the resident orchestra at his period-instrument festival “Klang und Raum” in Irsee, Bavaria.<\/p>\n

Tafelmusik and Weil would also go on to record an acclaimed series of Beethoven\u2019s Piano Concertos with pianist Jos van Immerseel and Weil at the helm, along with other Haydn Symphonies and more. Together, Bruno Weil and Tafelmusik were awarded the\u00a0Deutscher Schallplattenpreis (Echo Klassik Award) as Orchestra of the Year\u00a0in 1996 for their recording of Haydn’s Missa Sancti Bernardi.<\/p>\n
