“Few have the touch of Bob Florence.” — JazzTimes “Bob Florence is a pianist of unequalled harmonic virtuosity, as well as a composer and arranger of both sensitivity and power. Florence brings a mystical romanticism on the one hand and a driving potency on the other … he assembles the finest musicians in the world and they respond brilliantly as a unit and individually.” — Jazz Review “No other big band arranger and composer does it quite like Bob Florence does.

Pyramid entrances by section and by individual, suite-like compositions that pierce the air with vivid memories, dramatic context that puts the listener on the edge of his seat, humorous asides and funny titles: these are the elements that intrigue both the performing artist and the satisfied audience.” — John Gilbert “Swinging and original-sounding music and arrangements from a multitalented musician who has been a composer, arranger, bandleader, keyboardist, accompanist, and jazz educator … the musicians in this band are obviously here because they love it and the results do sound like it.” — Audiophile Audition

“Bill Evans for the twenty-first century? Perhaps, but any comparisons fail to do real credit to either side of the equation. This is simply great jazz in the truest sense—challenging, inventive, grounded in tradition but always reaching for new horizons.

This CD celebrates Petula Clark’s seven decades in show business, including songs from a 1942 radio broadcast (at age ten) plus other rare and previously unreleased recordings from her early film and broadcasting career. Clark’s first commercial recordings in 1949 were conducted by Joe “Mr. Piano” Henderson, and the two later worked together on various projects. Henderson’s solo recordings achieved British chart success, and some of those hits are featured here.

A tribute to Manhattan composed by maestro Gordon Jenkins in the forties! Upon its original release, this record sold in excess of two million copies, quite an achievement as it contained no hit single.

Now, it has been re-mastered and is appearing on CD in its entirety for the first time—and with rare bonus singles!

Euch zum Streit gefasset macht (complete reconstructed oratorio) · Dieterich (born Diderik) Buxtehude (ca. 1637–1707) was a Danish-born organist and composer of the German Baroque; he was organist at St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck most of his life. · Regarded at one time primarily as an influence on later composers, including Bach, Handel, and Telemann, Buxtehude has risen steadily in modern estimation and is now considered the most important German composer between Schütz and Bach. · This two-CD set continues an exciting edition on Challenge Classics of the complete works of Buxtehude performed by Ton Koopman and colleagues. · All of Buxtehude’s oratorios were thought lost, and this is the first recording of the reconstructed original version of one of them, based on a manuscript in Uppsala, Sweden. · Dutch harpsichordist, organist, conductor, and scholar Ton Koopman is universally acknowledged as one of today’s pre-eminent Early Music performers, sitting very near the top of a crowded field.

Lyrita Returns to the American Marketplace!

This Month’s Featured Composer: William Sterndale Bennett (1816 – 1875) William Sterndale Bennett was most widely recognized for his piano concertos; these beautiful works are an ideal introduction to Sterndale Bennett’s musical language and to the entire genre of mid-nineteenth century English music.

He composed these works as a young adult, and they inspired close friendships with Mendelssohn and Schumann. Both composers were so impressed by Sterndale Bennett’s capabilities that they befriended him and promoted his music.

As a young Englishman, Sterndale Bennett sang and played the violin and piano. A child prodigy, he entered the Royal Academy of Music at the age of nine; while studying there, he decided to not focus solely on performing, and he began to compose.

This creative impulse resulted in his first symphony and piano concerto. The concerto was so impressive that Sterndale Bennett was requested to perform the work before the king and queen.

Sterndale Bennett’s mid-twenties were a time of incredible creative output. He worked as a pianist in addition to composing orchestral and solo works. During this time, a piano company offered to support Sterndale Bennett for a year in Leipzig. He took advantage of this opportunity and was openly welcomed into the German musical community. Mendelssohn and Schumann became fans of Sterndale Bennett’s music, and he grew to be widely known and respected in Germany.

Sterndale Bennett’s compositional life suffered after returning to London. He seemed to be uninspired, and his later London period contains many unfinished works and very little creative output. He taught at the Royal Academy and oversaw several festivals and musical organizations. After retiring from the Academy, Bennett began to conduct the Leeds Festival.

This work sparked inspiration in him finally, and he again began to compose more frequently. Bennett was knighted in 1871, and in 1875 he died in his London home.

Lyrita’s return to the North American marketplace makes important, rarely heard piano concertos – the peak of Sterndale Bennett’s creative output – available once again. In February, his Piano Concertos 2 and 5 were released, and this month the Lyrita catalog features Sterndale Bennett’s Piano Concertos 1 & 3.

WILLIAM STERNDALE BENNETT Piano Concertos 1 & 3 “Sterndale Bennett wrote six piano concertos during his late teens and early twenties. Each work was written for the composer himself to play, and he must have been a formidable technician, since the piano part often sounds very difficult indeed. Each work has its own distinct character, and though the musical material doesn’t ever reach the highest level, it is always developed with imagination and ingenuity so that interest never slackens … Binns responds whole-heartedly and very sympathetically, and with his usual brilliant technique.” — Gramophone Malcolm Binns: piano London Philharmonic Orchestra Nicholas Braithwaite: conductor STERNDALE BENNETT: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 1 · Caprice in E, Op. 22 · Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 9 · William Sterndale Bennett (1816 -1875) was an Early Romantic British composer much under the influence of Mendelssohn. Neglected until recently, Sterndale Bennett’s music is full of lyrical beauty and intensity, and deserves revival. · 2006 marked Malcolm Binns’s seventieth birthday, and also his fiftieth anniversary as a performer. · His distinguished career marks him as one of the finest British pianists of modern times. He is renowned for his flawless technique, in which is found a joyous balance between virtuosity, power, and musical finesse. · Malcolm Binns is a noted authority on British piano music, and has been influential in the William Sterndale Bennett revival. · Born in London, Nicholas Braithwaite has been a frequent guest conductor for all the major orchestras in the UK, both in concert and on record. He has toured Japan and Korea with the London Philharmonic Orchestra as Associate Conductor to Sir Georg Solti. · His recording of Wordsworth’s Symphonies 2 & 3 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra won a 1991 Record of the Year Award from Gramophone. His recording of Flute Concertos with Alexa Still and the New Zealand Chamber Orchestra was nominated for a 1992 Grammy.

The renown today of the double name “Bach-Busoni” is the fruit of what was a continuous and painstaking labor of revision, elaboration, and transcription of a conspicuous number of Bach’s works, a labor that lasted more than a quarter of a century (concluding in 1920). Although Busoni’s initial fame was as a pianist, then as a transcriber, belatedly his original compositions have taken on their own luster and have become more and more a part of the concert repertoire.

A welcome addition to the catalogue of vocal music by Giuseppe Martucci (1856-1909), the first nineteenth-century Italian composer not to specialize in opera—although he did write an oratorio, and these songs. A fine composer, his critical acceptance was hindered due to his conservatism and affinities to Brahms and Schumann, but Arturo Toscanini was a lifelong advocate of his music.

Between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the development of the Faculty of the Arts, the Franciscan orders, the confraternities, and the “temporality” of the Church all strongly contributed to a series of cultural innovations throughout Europe. An example of this is the appearance of a vast number of compositions dedicated to the cult of the Virgin.

Why such a movement would have been expressed through vernacular poetry set to music, in diversified cultural and social circles, is still the object of discussion.

A true bargain, knocking spots off the Kodaly’s dutiful account of the ‘Death and the Maiden’ on Naxos.” — Gramophone Henschel Quartet SCHUBERT: String Quartet in D minor, D810 “Death and the Maiden” · String Quartet In E-flat, D87

WORLD PREMIERE RECORDINGS!

I N CLpremiere UDES · World recording of these works of the “Russian Futurism.”

WORLD · On September 21, 1928, Prokofiev wrote to Diaghilev: “I told you about the young Russian PREMIERE composers Shostakovich, Mosolov, and Popov, who stand far above the others due to their talent.”

RECORDING! · Today, only Shostakovich is a household name. But these other two are tremendously intriguing in their own right. · Alexander Mosolov (1900-1973) had a brief period of notoriety in the 1920s with a very short and very noisy orchestral piece called The Iron Foundry, but there was a great deal more to him TIME ON CD! than that bit of juvenile nose-thumbing.

Its conductors have included significant figures in Romanian music including George Enescu, whose name was incorporated into its title in 1955. · Current conductor Cristian Mandeal studied with both Karajan and Celibidache.

“The La Scala forces impress … Suliotis has left a legacy of recorded performances, and most persuasive are those captured live. This document of her La Scala debut stands among the greatest.” — Ira Siff Giangiacomo Guelfi, Elena Suliotis, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Gianni Raimondi, Gloria Lane, et al.: vocal soloists La Scala Orchestra & Chorus Gianandrea Gavazzeni: conductor VERDI: Nabucco (complete opera) · Produced in March 1842, Nabucco was Verdi’s first triumph with the public and (most) critics, establishing him as a great composer. The audience at the premiere went mad with enthusiasm and demanded an encore of the chorus “Va, pensiero.” · “Va, pensiero” was musically beautiful, but as an expression of the longing of the Hebrew slaves for freedom it also struck a powerful political chord. Soon it was being sung in the streets, and many years later was reverently hymned at Verdi’s public funeral. · For much of the twentieth century Nabucco was neglected as an immature early work by Verdi, but nowadays has taken its place again with great success as a repertory piece. · Grand Tier presents the most popular titles from the budget Opera d’Oro catalogue at mid-price with complete newly translated librettos, stimulating essays by eminent music writers, and deluxe packaging with striking artwork commissioned from Rafal Olbinski. · Live performance, Milan, 1966.

“Kleiber’s reading and his cast’s singing of this cornerstone of German opera have never been equaled on disc: a performance from around the same time under Furtwängler with many of the same singers is sloppier in execution, and Kleiber’s son Carlos’s recording from 1973, with as much enthusiasm and innate understanding, is not nearly as well sung. This set makes sense of an opera that may seem, for many, to be too otherworldly, or conversely, too earthy.

· Der Freischütz was the first great German national opera, breaking the stranglehold of the Italians over the opera world. Its premiere in 1821 was a sensation, and Weber was proclaimed the founder of the German Romantic opera school. · Richard Wagner was nine years old when he saw Weber conduct Der Freischütz. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Wagner replied: “Not emperor or king, but to stand and conduct like that!” · His wish, of course, came true; and when Weber died prematurely at age forty, it was Wagner who conducted the funeral music and delivered the eulogy.

Weber’s influence was to live on in Wagner’s music dramas. · All releases in the Grand Tier series include a full libretto in the original language and English; stimulating essays on the operas by eminent writers on music; and striking artwork commissioned from Rafal Olbinski. · Live performance, Cologne, 1955.

He was not allowed to tour the US until 1960, and then created a sensation. Touring, however, was not Richter’s forte.

In tune with the world, Yé Lassina Coulibaly’s compositions demonstrate a surprising timeliness. A creator above everything else, curious and attentive to the most contemporary musical forms, Coulibaly has been reinventing African music through his encounters with western musicians and his audacious artistic experiments. His quest is to create music that best reflects the melodies of traditional West African instruments.

The popular songs of Brittany aroused a great interest in the well-read men of the nineteenth century. It was also during this century that Brittany received more creative attention, drawing in painters, illustrators, antique dealers, typesetters, and more. This disc explores the dialogue between the well-read man, the typesetter, and the popular singer. Yann-Fañch Kemener, known as the “gold voice” of Breton music, possesses one of the most beautiful voices in France. Also features Aldo Ripoche on violoncello and Florence Pavia on piano.
