STRAVINSKY: Petrushka, etc.(Decca)
Rating:
Three ballet scores connected by the tragic figure of the great Russian dancer Vaslav Nijinsky make a superb programme.
The main work is Stravinsky's second ballet Petrushka (Petrouchka in French), which makes an ideal vehicle for young Finnish whiz kid Klaus Makela, conducting the Orchestre de Paris.
He has chosen the 1947 revision — the original 1911 score would have given pianist Bertrand Chamayou more to do — and makes the most of the folk-inflected rhythms and melodies.
Makela also does very well with Debussy's 18-minute Jeux; and my only slight criticism is that the solo flute in the Prelude � l'Apres-Midi d'Un Faune has a wide beat in his or her tone.
Otherwise the Parisian musicians play very well for their 28-year-old music director and we can marvel again at the music that the great impresario Sergei Diaghilev gave his audiences.

TROTTA: Requiem (Hampton Roads)
Rating:
A new Requiem is a rare thing and this one, by American composer Michael John Trotta, is both beautiful and very approachable.
He is lucky in his interpreters: the 21 singers of Tenebrae, under their director Nigel Short, sing exquisitely and are sympathetically recorded in St John the Evangelist Church, London.
Trotta's Dies Irae would not frighten a mouse — it is quite jazzy — and in fact Trotta has trimmed the text of this medieval sequence back, to avoid having sinners hurled into Hell and so on.
He follows others in giving the Pie Jesu to a solo soprano (Rosanna Wicks) and supports her with an alto (Elisabeth Paul); they are from the choir, as is solo baritone Jimmy Holiday.
With two excellent players sharing the organist's duties this disc will provide solace and inspiration.
