Author: Adrian Edwards
The couplings are a mixed bag. Generally speaking, the better-known the composer, the better the work! There are further Korngold pieces taken from his opera Die tote Stadt, the popular Romance from Shostakovich’s The Gadfly and Mahler’s very early Piano Quartet, which Benedetti plays with her regular trio. The Mahler appears in this context on account of its inclusion in the Martin Scorsese film Shutter Island. The bonne bouche of the shorter pieces is Carlos Gardel’s tango Por una cabeza, arranged by John Lenehan, to which Al Pacino danced in the film Scent of a Woman. Benedetti is joined by star accordionist Ksenija Sidorova in a show-stopping performance which will have you on your feet! The warm acoustic of the Decca recording comes in appropriate widescreen sound.
