Music reviews of Salieri: The 2 Piano Concertos

Music Review: Charming and slight
Rating: 3 Stars

Pietro Spada has done a fine job of presenting Salieri with dignity and breadth, but perhaps a little too much of each. The finest works on the cd are the Les Horaces Overture and the Variations on La follia da Spagna. Both are well suited to Spada's rich romantic treatment and the clean and lush orchestral playing. The Variations were conceived by Salieri as a text-book of orchestral color, and they do not disappoint (especially considering the dates of composition and publication, 1815-1818). Sadly the focus is almost soley on tone color and the variations themselves seldom move far beyond the initial statement of the theme - but the creative use of the orchestra is pleasing and at times highly original. The overture to Les Horaces is truly bold and heroic and can been seen as a bridge from Gluck to Beethoven. Its brassy theme and shifting moods conjure up excitement and pathos. The overture to Semiramide, which Salieri also paired with a comic opera, here suffers terribly under the slow tempo and dramatic interpretation Spada intends as majestic and regal? Also, the two piano concerti, early works by Salieri, a composer who generally shunned instrumental composition, give pleasure but lack depth; they could also use a little less gravity. A charming cd with lovely surprises, and really fine playing, but one that suffers from some interpretive overstatement.
