Extractions: Of all the might-have-beens in American music, few are more poignant than the case of Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920), who died after a short and undeservedly obscure career in music. Although trained in Germany, Griffes turned increasingly to French models for inspiration during his brief maturity, producing some fine works with a certain originality. Originality, however, is not the first impression left by Ivo Kaltchev's Griffes disc. The first two of the four Roman Sketches, Op. 7 , "The White Peacock" and "Nightfall" are overly indebted to Debussy. "The Fountain of Acqua Paola" opens with a fine American-sounding melody, but then descends into standard late-Romantic note-spinning. Things pick up considerably with the last piece in this set; "Clouds" is music of genuine beauty, of wispy and a bit lightweight. "The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan," in its orchestral setting, was among the few works of Griffes to achieve some attention in his lifetime. In the original piano version, its dark opening brings Mussorgsky to mind, and Griffes works this idiom effectively with some ominous left-hand passages. Bulgarian pianist Kaltchev digs deep into the Slavic darkness of these measures, and to great effect. So, too, in the brooding "A Winter Landscape," heard here in its world premiere recording. "Legend" has a strong individual stamp; "De Profundis" is a less compelling, if still craftsmanly, essay in the Romantic style. The most ambitious work on the disc, the
Extractions: [67:54] full-price by Chia Han-Leon In this day and age, an unattentive listener might brush this music off as just more late Romantic/Post-Romantic work in the singing violin over rippling piano variety. But listen carefully, and you will see the very careful and firm craftmanship of the composer; how the violin lines turn and sway dreamily, intensely over its carefully crafted piano accompaniment. And in such dedicated and sincere playing from violinst Fritz Gearhart and pianist John Owings. It would seem that this is a distinguishing point about Porter's music here. It at first sounds just like some late Romantic work, but often veers away into harmonies and gestures which belie something more modern. The performances here have this way of being at times restlessly Romantic and emotional, yet with turns of something more deliberate and structured, which I find suits this music very appropriately. The disc begins with three earlier one-movement works from 1919. First is the 61/2-minute Sonata in D minor - Romantic in tone, no doubt, yearning, sweet and a very pleasant introduction to Porter's world. Gearhart plays with graceful sincerity and noble passion, in music which is regal yet carefree. There is perhaps some Brahms, something Beethoven, something Schubert.
