About

After a first exciting solo disc of Mozart’s Sonatas on the fortepiano, Maxim Emelyanychev now holds the baton in a symphonic program.

The young conductor was recently appointed head of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and a new wind of freedom is blowing in two major scores.

In Beethoven’s so often recorded Eroica Symphonie, he knows how to enhance the rich thematic palette and the variety of timbres. His insatiable curiosity galvanizes the Nizhny Novgorod Chamber Orchestra. His unlimited imagination combined to the use of natural horns and trumpets devilishly refresh the interpretation of this masterpiece.

This promising young musician - former conductor of the ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro and Currentzis’ favourite continuist - then visits Brahms’s Variations On A Theme By Haydn with as much greed and sensitivity.

Reviews

November 2018

There are one or two rough edges in Emelyanychev’s first recording with his Russian ensemble (the horns could definitely have benefited from another take in the third-movement trio), but I love the tautness and delicacy which these small forces bring to the Eroica - from the lightly-sprung opening chords to the blanched sonorities conjured in the funeral march and the wiry, skittish strings in the Scherzo, everything here feels like real chamber-music.
