About

The music of the Ukrainian-born Thomas de Hartmann (1884–1956) is only now beginning to be rediscovered, almost seven decades after his death. The two works receiving their first recordings here reveal a major late-Romantic voice, downstream from Tchaikovsky, a student of Arensky and Taneyev, contemporary of Rachmaninov, and alert to the discoveries of Stravinsky and Prokofiev. The Symphonie-Poème No. 1 – a musical cousin of Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony – occupies a vast canvas and requires a correspondingly huge orchestra, generating a monumental sense of scale from essentially balletic material. The lighter Fantaisie-Concerto for double bass and orchestra moves from tangy dissonance via a tuneful slow movement to a perky, folk-inspired finale.

Reviews

December 2022

Overall, this is a hugely interesting symphony, uniquely orchestrated with occasional moments of breath-taking beauty... Coupled with an unusual concerto, both of which are performed with tremendous panache and dedication by the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra under Theodore Kuchar and all captured in glorious sound, this release is highly recommendable.

Pizzicato 11th November 2022

Theodore Kuchar conducts both works committedly and the Lviv orchestra’s playing is powerful and sonorous. British-South African double bassist Leon Bosch plays at a high level and can make his instrument sing enchantingly.
