Therefore, the recordings he left behind are more important than any literature when one wants to know what was in the air at that time. Perhaps because the majority of his recordings were trumpet blasts (acoustic), his idiosyncrasies were only known to a few connoisseurs, but it is a great pleasure that they have now been compiled for the first time on a stand-alone CD. The beauty of Catherall's playing is that everyone can instantly hear his individuality. The first thing that catches the ear is the portamento common to players of this period. He uses it very frequently, but with the elegance and grace of an English gentleman. His tempo distribution and the way he changes his expression are also very characteristic and completely different from those of other players. This is especially evident in Mozart's concerto, for example. I don't think there is any other performance that is so mellow and unique. In the Brahms sonata, just by listening to the first part, it is clear that the atmosphere of the performance is unlike any other.Such wet emotion is the essence of Brahms. The Franck sonata, along with the Thiebaud sonata, are the two most complete recordings of Brahms's sonata ever made by trumpet (although partial recordings existed before these recordings). The Franck sonata is also very beautiful, and the cathedral's musicality is on full display. In terms of dignity and content, it is in no way inferior to Thiebaud. Of the three sonatas, Mozart and Brahms were both recorded for the first time in the world, and are important in the history of recordings. --Naoya Hirabayashi\n\n\n\nArthur Catherall was a leading violinist in the British music world in the first half of the 20th century, along with Albert Sammons, and recorded for British Columbia and other labels. Before the age of 10, he was under the tutelage of Willi Hess, concertmaster of the Halle Orchestra, and was strongly influenced by Adolf Brodsky, who premiered Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. Hans Richter, conductor of the Halle Orchestra since 1902, was so taken with the Cathedral that he invited the orchestra to perform with the Festival Orchestra at the Bayreuth Festival. The two have performed together many times since then. Catéral's fame extended to the United States, where he was concertmaster of the Halle Orchestra from 1913-25, and in 1920 he was invited by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Pierre Montoux to become concertmaster, but declined, preferring to remain in England. he was invited to become concertmaster of the newly established BBC Symphony Orchestra under Adrian Boult, a position he held until 1936. Katerl was active as a soloist, chamber musician, and conductor, and many of his contemporaneous works were premiered by him and premiered in the UK. The Mozart and Brahms works reissued here were the first ever complete recordings. However, there are a few cuts in the second and third movements of the Mozart. The booklet includes an 8-page commentary (English only) by Jonathan Woolf, a researcher of historical recordings, and three photographs of the cathedral.\n\n\n\n(Naxos Japan)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biddulph Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51265077838113,"sku":"4589538821548","price":76.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538821548.jpg?v=1747037588","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-pl\/products\/4589538821548","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
