Product Information
Goldmark gehört auch zu jenen Komponisten, deren einstmals strahlender Ruhm zu einem blassen Schimmer verkümmert ist. Dabei hatte Goldmark eine Riesenkarriere gemacht: Vom Sohn eines armen jüdischen Kantors in der ungarischen Provinz, zu Beginn ohne Schulunterricht, bis zum Professor für Komposition und Komponisten in Wien. In seinen Klavierquintetten zeigen sich typische »goldmarkige« Erfindungen: In dem 1879 als Opus 30 gedruckten Quintett finden sich raffinierteste Instrumentaleffekte und eine modulatorische Beweglichkeit, die ihre Wurzeln bei Franz Schubert zu haben, diesen aber noch in den Schatten zu stellen scheint. Auch in seinem späten Quintett op. 54 finden sich trotz »moderner« Anklänge seine typischen Umgehensweise mit Harmonik, verschärfter Motivik und permanenten Modulationen – ein Spätwerk, das die unverbrauchte musikalische Kraft Goldmarks hörbar macht.Product Information
Goldmark’s Piano Quintets
Karl Goldmark numbers among those composers whose former fame and glory have faded to a faint glimmer. All right, his name may be known from his rarely performed Violin Concerto, his brilliantly instrumented Ländliche Hochzeit is available on a couple of CDs, and the title of his opera Die Königin von Saba (The Queen of Sheba) may ring a familiar bell. During his lifetime Goldmark, the son of a poor Jewish cantor from a Hungarian country village, enjoyed a fantastic career; he did not attend school as a young boy (learning to read and write only at the age of twelve) but went on to become a highly decorated professor of composition (with Sibelius for a time numbering among his students!) and composer in Vienna. His piano quintets display typical Goldmarkian inventions and discoveries. The Quintet op. 30 printed in 1879 exhibits instrumental effects of the greatest sophistication and a modulatory flexibility rooted in Schubert while seeming to overshadow him. The later Quintet op. 54, published a year after Goldmark’s death, also exemplifies his typical employment of harmony, sharpened motivic work, and permanent modulations – together with some suggestions of the modern. This late work rendering audible Goldmark’s fresh musical vigor is powerfully interpreted by the Quatuor Sine Nomine and Oliver Triendl at the piano.
