Extractions: Seattle Times music critic E-mail this article Print this article Search web archive This time, the best came first. The pre-concert recital at the Seattle Chamber Music Society's Summer Festival brought forth soprano Cyndia Sieden, best known for her international opera appearances as the coloratura Queen of the Night. On Friday evening, Sieden and pianist William Wolfram offered a recital of six opulent Richard Strauss songs that were a perfect showcase for Sieden's radiant, crystal-clear soprano. Wolfram was a supportive, but not overly retiring, partner at the keyboard. Sieden's voice sounded easy, natural and exquisitely controlled (as in the gorgeous fadeout at the end of "Sehnsucht"). The emotional spectrum of the songs was fully rendered, and Sieden proved that she can be utterly charming without any of the cloying mannerisms all too often characteristic of lieder singing.

The Seattle Chamber Music Society's Summer Festival St. Nicholas Hall at Lakeside School, Friday evening. Frautschi, in an elegant red top surrounded by men in white dinner jackets (violinist David Chan, violist Marcus Thompson and cellist Bion Tsang), is someone to keep tabs on; let's hope she books a return trip next year. Anton Nel, who nearly took the roof off Lakeside's MacKay Chapel with his staggeringly varied recital of Handel, Debussy, and Liszt earlier in the evening, joined violinist Viviane Hagner, violist Cynthia Phelps and cellist Toby Saks for Fauré's devastating Quartet for Piano and Strings in C Minor (started by the composer when he was engaged and finished after his love dumped him). The three women, who glided onstage in eye-popping floor-length gowns, played with absolute conviction and wonderful unison during lyrical moments and frenzied tempos alike. Phelps' viola didn't quite emerge from the maelstrom until a lovely solo passage in the final

Extractions: After more than 20-plus adult years of constant concert-going, I still feel that sense of possibility at most concerts. My appreciation of the art of live performance continues to grow, as does the realization that the undistracted focus it allows is a treasured luxury, even a refuge. I certainly didn't make it to every performance in town this classical season, but I suppose I was able to take in more than most. The structure of reviewing one event per week makes it tough at times to choose just one performance to cover. Luckily, my appetite for live music gets me to quite a few more concerts than those I review. In no particular order, here are the top ten highlights of the 2000-2001 Milwaukee classical season: 2. The thick melancholia of the second movement of the Piano Concerto by Samuel Barber, as played by John Browning, the original performer from the 1962 premiere, was the most moving moment of the MSO season. Barber's spirit was in the room. 3. Chamber music in Milwaukee got a good kick in the pants with the debut of the Prometheus Trio, featuring Samatha George on violin, Scott Tisdel on cello and Stefanie Jacob on piano. Their April performance of the Ravel Piano Trio was sizzling.

Extractions: Honesty is a ragged flag still flown by a few rock 'n' roll artists in this plastic age of prefab pop, and it flutters like a banner in the wind on Tinker's CD, Blackthorn . There isn't a false emotional note to be heard, not a posture in evidence or a pretense trying to express itself. On disc, the Milwaukee songwriter and band leader (he answers to Tinker as a soloist and the band also bears his name) has assembled a collection of songs that hover uneasily between folk and rock. Their origins on acoustic guitar are audible. "Music by people who mean it: that's the credo we live by," Tinker says softspokenly, without a hint of bombast. Blackthorn is hard to categorize; it's difficult to find a comparison, but when Tinker, pressed for a musical role model, cites Throwing Muses, the reference makes sense. Tinker doesn't actually sound like them as much as inhabit a space similarly free from the tired expectations of how a rock band, even an alternative one, should position itself. The group of old friends who helped Tinker record Blackthorn -drummer Dave Hahn, guitarist Michael Brandenburg (who also plays in Ka) and bassist Andy Schneider-gradually coalesced into a working unit behind their band leader's earnest, often pensive, spiritually searching lyrics and melodies. They have played around Wisconsin and neighboring states, even as their leader launches his own solo coffeehouse tours and pens the poems he plans to publish as a booklet this summer. "It's the rock 'n' roll of today," he says of the group effort. "If you're looking for 12-bar blues or Bob Seger barroom brawling, that's not what we are."

Desktop SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER MUSIC CRITIC Pleasures were abundant Friday night at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. The concert had much to offer, in music and music-making. There was a Mozart string quartet, a late song cycle of Dmitri Shostakovich and Dvorak's felicitous Piano Quintet in A. MUSIC REVIEW SEATTLE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL COMPOSERS: Popper, Mozart, Shostakovich and Dvorak TICKETS: $25-$32, with student/senior discounts; 206-283-8808 However, none of these works opened the concert: Instead, it was David Popper's warm and embracing "Requiem," a moving tribute to Carol Gellert, a member of the festival's board who died in January. This no ordinary requiem. There is no text, no orchestra, no chorus, indeed, no singers at all, just three cellos with discreet piano accompaniment. Nevertheless, the intent of the late-19th and early-20th-century Czech composer was the same.

Extractions: Brahms Without Airs Reviewed by Michael Adams In an era when classical recordings are disappearing from store shelves about as fast as DVD players (but for sadly different reasons), its refreshing to see a disc by a violinist other than the usual suspects, like Shaham, Perlman, Mutter, Kennedy, Zukerman et.al. Frank Almond, concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra since 1995, is joined by pianist William Wolfram in Brahms Three Sonatas for Violin and Piano. (Boolean Recordings; available at www.sonatabop.com ) Rare are the people who can wear two hats - of both concertmaster and soloist - with distinction. They are very different roles, requiring unique skills. However, this disc shows that the small fraternity that includes Joe Silverstein and Glenn Dicterow might well have a new member. Let me start by saying what this recording does NOT have. There is a refreshing lack of affected gesture, like glissandos, rubatos and agogic accents in the predictable places. Almond is clearly a musician of exquisite taste and technical polish. Missing are distracting instrumental mannerisms which so often get in the way of simple music making. The same can be said of Wolfram. His playing is warm and finely attuned to the unique characters of each sonata, and he handles the often athletic and unwieldy piano writing with great finesse and expressive touch.
