• Violinist Jasper Wood has garnered international critical acclaim for his solo performances with orchestras and chamber music concerts. Known for his intimate and dazzling recitals, Wood is sought after as a musician with his own personal voice. He can be heard frequently on NPR in the United States and on the CBC in Canada • Pianist David Riley gave more than 50 concerts the past season, including two at the National Art Gallery in Washington DC and Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall. He has been heard on dozens of radio broadcasts on WQXR and WNYC in New York, Canada’s CBC, and NPR’s Performance Today • This unique CD explores the very accessible violin and piano music of Charles Ives. Here is little of the dissonance or rhythmic complexity that some listeners find difficult – this is music primarily of simplicity and beauty • Included are seven of Ives’s songs, arranged for violin and piano by Matthew Feurst and recorded here for the first time ever! The songs are: Wiel’ Auf Mir (“Eyes So Dark”), S.387; Feldeinsamkeit (“In Summer Fields”), S.250; Rosamunde, S.337; Berceuse, S.220; Kären, S.285; Omens and Oracles, S.317; and From “Night of Frost in May,” S.309 • “Encores there must be wherever Wood and Riley play: theirs is a beautiful collaboration…Wood is always a joy to hear…” — Gramophone

BACH (arr. Busoni): Preludio, Fuga e Allegro • Fantasia, Adagio e Fuga • Fantasia, Fuga, Adagio e Scherzo

Busoni, one of the great pianists of all time, was also a considerable composer, and one of the most interesting figures in the history of music. Starting out as a “Late Romantic,” he took a turn towards the Baroque in 1908 and produced a series of piano transcriptions of Bach harpsichord pieces, as well as a number of keyboard works written “in the style of” Bach. The line between “original” and “transcribed” is sometimes blurred but always fascinating, as these brilliant recordings by Andrea Padova show. CD: STV 33657 (R) File Under: Classical

This is the first installment in a trilogy of Stradivarius recordings devoted to Sciarrino, with the composer himself as artistic director and the graphic concepts of famous photographer Roberto Masotti. This first volume, Breath, is focused on chamber music for wind instruments. Sciarrino is perhaps the first composer who used sound as a living organism. His music begins at the very limits of the imperceptible, where physiology and silence emerge. Through Sciarrino we rediscover the spaces of nature, the daily noises and also the miracle of the human voice. CD: STV 33647 (R)

• Debussy’s music is pantheism translated into sound. He transformed water, clouds, fog, light, dusk, landscapes, the moon, wind, scents, seasons and gardens into melody and rhythm. In the process of seeking this ‘artistic truth,’ he managed to completely redefine the art of music • Master conductor Sylvain Cambreling is the ideal champion for these beloved scores, bringing an expansiveness and clarity seldom encountered in other recordings • Currently principal conductor of the SWR Symphony Orchestra, Baden-Baden and Freiburg, Sylvain Cambreling is one of today’s leading exponents of the French repertoire • Born in Amiens, France in 1948, Cambreling studied at the Paris Conservatory.

“A lot of people were surprised when this recording of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem – featuring the all-amateur Washington Chorus, the Shenandoah Conservatory Chorus, and the Maryland Boy Choir under the direction of Robert Shafer – won the Grammy for Best Choral Performance of 1999. They shouldn’t have been. From first note to last, it is a compelling realization of one of the greatest, most beautiful, and most challenging scores of modern times – a performance that does credit to all involved. Robert Shafer and his cohorts give a disciplined yet impassioned reading of the piece, one that is notable not only for the fine choral singing – blend, balance, and intonation are all exemplary – and the outstanding work of the vocal soloists, but for its felicitous detailing of the instrumental parts as well…In a very competitive field that includes the composer’s own account, this rendition of the War Requiem rightly takes a place in the front rank, deserving of the honor it has received.” — Amazon.com “Shafer’s tempos approximate Britten’s, with never a feeling of rushing or dragging, carefully observing the musical and emotional climaxes…this is a rapturous performance, a remarkable recording… one of the finest recordings of the work available.” — American Record Guide

• “If you ask me, I am neither good nor bad. You might say I waver between the two.” — Erik Satie • French composer Erik Satie (1866 –1925) has so far refused classification by later generations. The ambivalence of his writings, compositions and drawings has served to divide the camps of those who regard him as a dilettante amateur and those who see him as a forerunner of the important avant-garde movements of the 1920s • In Satie’s piano music, following medieval precedent, meter, division into bars and dynamics are absent. Modal chord blocks without leading tone provide a meditative sound-world in which Satie’s concept of ideal harmony can be realized • Pianist John White was born in Berlin and pursued studies at the Royal College of Music. He also studied privately with Elisabeth Lutyens, Humphrey Searle and Rosamund Ley (a student of Ferruccio Busoni) • White has taught composition at the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Yehudi Menuhin School and Leicester Polytechnic.

• The first recording of music by Hans Rott (1858 – 1884) caused a critical sensation. Here was strong, vivid, imaginative music written by a composer almost nobody had ever heard of, whose name was not even mentioned in the most comprehensive history of Viennese music, yet who had been the favorite pupil of Anton Bruckner, and had been praised by, and had even influenced, Gustav Mahler • Always nervous by nature, Rott at only 23 years of age began to exhibit erratic and even dangerous behavior. He once pulled a gun on a man lighting a cigar on a train, warning him that Brahms had filled the car with dynamite! After this incident, Rott was committed to an asylum, where he attempted suicide several times before dying of tuberculosis at 26 • Despite his youth and unstable mental condition, Rott wrote music that astounded both Bruckner and Mahler. The latter wrote of his Symphony in E: “We cannot comprehend what music has lost in him: his genius rises to such a flight even in this first symphony he wrote as a youth of 20 years of age and which – this is not saying too much – makes him the founder of the new symphony as I understand it”

Domenico CIMAROSA

• Domenico Cimarosa (1749 –1801) enjoyed great success as a keyboard virtuoso in the most fashionable Viennese salons. He was appointed Salieri’s successor as Kapellmeister to the Austrian court, and the Emperor’s commission for a new comic opera in 1792 resulted in Cimarosa’s most famous work, Il matrimonio segreto • Apart from the ever-popular opera and a Requiem which is still occasionally performed, most of Cimarosa’s music is unknown today. His instrumental music includes 88 keyboard sonatas, 32 of which are recorded here • The content of the sonatas transcends their standard Baroque form. Cimarosa lived a stormy and eventful life, which is probably why his piano sonatas are so infectiously emotional, arousing a lively response from the listener • Evgeny Soifertis was born in Kiev, where at the age of 13 he won first prize in the Beethoven competition. He later continued his studies at the Moscow Conservatory before moving to Holland, though for the past few years he has made his home in London • Soifertis has concertized internationally and made numerous television appearances in Holland, Belgium, and in the BBC’s “Music Live” Festival

• When Franco Corelli died last October in Milan at the age of 82, the world of opera lost one of its most colorful figures, and the most thrilling Italian tenor of his generation • With his powerful voice and movie-star looks, Corelli became an opera matinee idol from the 1950s until his retirement in 1976 • Corelli was beloved by audiences for the raw power of his singing and the delectable liberties he sometimes took with the music – for example, holding high Cs longer than written • Renata Tebaldi was the only serious rival to Maria Callas during her era, and is still revered as one of the most beautiful soprano voices of the past century • Tebaldi was noted for the rich, creamy sound of her naturally beautiful voice, and the total security of her breath control and technique. Her sound was seamless from the top register to the bottom • Live performance, Vienna, June 26, 1960

• Mozart’s greatest comic opera is seldom found at mid-price, at least not in a great performance! But here is one with one of the finest Mozart casts ever put together, with one of the greatest conductors at the peak of his powers • “Hearing Karajan’s work before the early-to-mid-‘80s…is invariably a treat, and this Figaro, live from Salzburg in 1974, is no exception. For the most part his tempos are fleet, with recitatives at honest conversational speed...José van Dam’s Figaro finds this always interesting singer at his vocal best… and he gives us a complete picture of this complicated man. Susanna is Mirella Freni, simply ideal – pert but not too pert, knowing, and vocally right on the money. Frederica von Stade rounds out the principals as Cherubino, and she sings with rich, warm tone and fine attention to detail.” — ClassicsToday • Live performance, Salzburg, 1974 MAY 2005

“ The performance is very convincing. The superb Evangelist (Christoph Prégardien) and Christus (Peter Kooy) make the most of Koopman’s recitatives, and Koopman directs an insightful, expressive and flexible interpretation.” — Uri Golomb , Goldbergweb.com “Koopman’s work as a conductor of early music has garnered him a wealth of awards, including two Edison Prizes, a 3M Prize, a Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, a French Grand Prix du Disque and Prix Hector Berlioz, Grammy nominations in both the U.S. and Britain, and the Silver Phonograph from the Dutch recording industry… though Koopman is best known for his massive projects recording the music of J.S. Bach; other projects have included the complete Bach organ works and Passions (including Koopman’s own fantastic reconstruction of the lost Markuspassion).” — All Music Guide “ Dutch musician Ton Koopman is a polymath in interpreting the music of J.S.

J.S. BACH: Markus Passion (1731)

• Several musicologists have tried to reconstruct or realize this lost masterpiece with less than convincing results; now Baroque performance expert Ton Koopman has done the job perhaps better than anyone before – certainly uniquely and provocatively • In Koopman’s own words: “Acting as though I were one of Bach’s pupils, I imagined myself being given the following assignment in a composition lesson: ‘Here’s a libretto; set it to music using whatever you find in the works I wrote up until now (1731). What you do not find, compose yourself’” • Koopman’s procedure involves using some of Bach’s own music from other religious works that fit the surviving libretto, plus connecting music he has written himself in Bach/Baroque style

Bach is known to have written a “Passion According to St. Mark” in addition to his St. Matthew and St. John Passions, but the score has long been lost.

It is also known that a copy of the score made by Bach collector Franz Hauser was still in existence until 1945, when it was apparently destroyed in the Allied bombing of Dresden.

“While not world music per se, Globe Trekker, the soundtrack to the TV series of the same name, is definitely global in its outlook. In some ways it seems as though the entire world is here – from the American South to Thailand, Canada and Madagascar – all filtered through an electronic prism. This is music made for the show, and in that light it does push the envelope a bit while keeping a strong, graceful integrity.” — Amazon.com “Blending music recorded on location all over the world with compositions recorded in the studio…the combination of a team of composers, who have worked with some of the biggest names in contemporary music, with the inspiration of street musicians, amateur players and other artists from the far flung corners of the world creates a wonderful cross-cultural musical mix.” — ABC.com

Vendima grinds out tunes with melodramatically dark names like ‘Hasta Morir’ and ‘Oración’ that amble along with heavy bass, synth programming, and Exene-like, pedal-distorted vocals from lead vixen Brenda, who wears bilingual goth-influences on her sleeve, whether Mephisto Walz or Santa Sabina.” — Ben Ortiz

WORLD Throw Ethiopiques on your sound system, and you will know you are in uncharted waters. One minute you’ll swear you’re hearing James Brown speaking in tongues, the next you’ll think you’ve hit on the hottest new samples for a hip hop band from outer space. But this is music from Ethiopia’s golden years — with a budding following not too different from the ska rebirth fifteen years ago! “ With his haunting, serpentine voice, at the same time raucous and velvety, Mahmoud Ahmed has invented a world of uncertain borders, an improbable mix of Eastern-African rhythmic lines, mysterious laments with refined ornamentation and melodies of unexpected Indian modulation; all this streaked by electric sounds and pulsed by a hot, swaying groove spanning swing to funk and even foraying into reggae music. What an exhilarating shambles!” — Les Inrockuptibles “ I am really into Ethiopian pop music, which has a very individual character because the country was closed off for so many years. The Ethiopiques series has done a lot to make the riches of the music available, and I would recommend them to anyone with a passing interest in world music. Because of the circumstances in which they were recorded, when the monarchy was giving way to a new regime 25 or 30 years ago, the music really sounds as though something is bursting into life. It is very poignant, and very beautiful, too.” — Elvis Costello
