“Few have the touch of Bob Florence.” — JazzTimes “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 “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.”

Selling Points Few Chicago blues artists have been as intimately involved with the city’s blues history as Billy Boy Arnold. One of the first Windy City blues singers actually born in Chicago, Arnold learned harmonica from Sonny Boy Williamson in the late ’40s. In October 1977 Arnold recorded this gem of an album, produced by Peter Shertser at Pathway Studios in West London. At the time of the original vinyl release, Black Echoes voted the album Blues LP of the Year.

Peace of Mind

Ideal for meditation, relaxation, and aural pleasure.

Sure to please long-term fans and new audiences alike.

• Includes an “Inner-Peaceful” arrangement of “Amazing Grace.”

• All-new material recorded in audiophile format.

• Over thirty-five years ago, Steven Halpern began developing a new tonal vocabulary for the piano that allows the higher harmonic overtones to speak as eloquently as the notes themselves. There is spiritually uplifting energy that comes through his music, which many listeners notice immediately.

• Peace of Mind makes it easy to “get in the gap”—the space between notes and thoughts. Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer elegantly describe it as a space of pure potential and connection to the divine.

• These performances were completely improvised and recorded in one continuous flow that lasted almost two hours. Peace of Mind is a must-have for all Halpern fans, piano lovers, and anyone who seeks to nurture body, mind, and spirit with the healing power of sound.

• Steven Halpern is an award-wining composer and recording artist whose music has touched the lives of millions. His recordings carry an energy of light, love, and healing, and are heard in leading spas, yoga and massage centers, and homes around the world.

• Before his Opus 40, Finzi had composed four works in concerto style, but nothing in Finzi’s output quite prepares one for the force and mastery of his Cello Concerto.

• Apart from some individual songs, the Cello Concerto was Finzi’s last completed work.

Writing in the journal Musical Opinion in 1936, Havergal Brian hailed Arnold Cooke (19062005) as one of the most promising young British composers of his time.

• After studying with Paul Hindemith in Germany, Cooke taught at the Royal Manchester College of Music until shortly before World War II. From 1947 until retirement he was professor of harmony, counterpoint, and composition at Trinity College of Music in London.

• Cooke is a representative of the continued flowering of the European Baroque traditions, but to this he brings a specifically English lyricism and lucidity that gives his music a character all his own.

G.B. PERGOLESI La serva padrona Federica Zanello, Michele Govi: vocal soloists/Ensemble Regia Accademia/Marco Dallara: conductor PERGOLESI: La serva padrona (complete opera) Pergolesi (1710-1736) was one of the miracles of music history, creating a number of masterpieces in a life ten years shorter even than Mozart’s. In his brief twenty-six years he wrote several operas, of which La serva padrona (“The Maid Turned Mistress”) is the best known.

• Its popularity has never waned since its premiere in 1733, thanks to delightful music and hearty comedy. It became the model for the entire Italian school of opera buffa that followed it.

• Soprano Federica Zanello won her first operatic singing award at the age of nineteen, took master classes with Mirella Freni, and has gone on to a major Italian career on stage, television, and recordings.

• A little-known aspect of Valeri’s musical production, and one still to be studied, is represented by his Sinfonie, the parts of which are extant in manuscript.

• Valeri used the term “sinfonia” to indicate his instrumental compositions written in a single movement, or occasionally in two with a repetition of the first, utilizing the form that he most favored in his keyboard sonatas.

• Valeri’s Sinfonie commonly present a division into two parts, recalling the dance forms of the baroque suite.

• Born in Italy in 1965, Luca Scandali studied, among others, with Ton Koopman. He is a prizewinning organist and graduate of Pesaro’s Rossini Conservatory.

Federigo FIORILLO Six Quartets for Flute, Violin, Viola & Cello Ensemble à l’antica/Luigi Lupo: director FIORILLO: Six Quartets for Flute, Violin, Viola & Cello Born in Germany, Federigo Fiorillo (1755-ca. 1823) was descended from a family of Neapolitan musicians: an ancestor, Carlo, had published a book of madrigals in the 16th century, and his father Ignazio had made a name for himself in Europe as a composer of operas and maestro di cappella.

• An excellent violinist and violist, Fiorillo was also a soloist on the mandolin as well as a pedagogue.

His Etude pour le violon formant 36 caprices are still well known among violin students today, while harpists practice his seventy-two exercises for harp.

• In the late 1790s, Fiorillo printed his own six quartets for flute, violin, viola, and cello, possibly modelled on those of Françoise-Andrè Philidor.

Andrea LUCHESI La Passione di Gesù Christo Chorus of the San Giorgio Academy of Music/Sandro Filippi Baroque Orchestra of Cremona/G. Battista Columbro: director LUCHESI: La Passione di Gesù Christo This Passion setting by Andrea Luchesi (1741-1801) was probably written in 1776, just before Luchesi was named Kapellmeister “for life” of the Principate of Cologne and Bonn.

• Luchesi strengthened the chapel (which had become one of the best in Germany), and built up the sacred repertoire to match the importance of the principate.

• At the beginning of 1776, the chapel began to commission original sacred works (often composed exclusively by the Kapellmeister) for each event of the liturgical year.

• Luchesi intended to give public demonstrations of the results achieved in the chapel, and thus was born La Passione di Gesù Christo, created exclusively for the chapel of the prince of Cologne.

• For this composition of non-liturgical sacred music, Luchesi reworked and set to music a libretto by •

the poet Metastasio, which had previously been used by other composers.

• Piatti knew everything there was to know about the cello, and influenced all the schools of cello playing for the following hundred years.

• His two sets of cello Caprices are not simple technical studies, but also show decorative imagination and eloquent harmony that give them the quality of small masterpieces.

• In a provocative stroke of original programming, Andrea Noferini concludes this album of Romantic solo cello music with a masterpiece of the twelve-tone school in the work by Luigi Dallapiccola, Italy’s most famous follower of Arnold Schoenberg.

• Dallapiccola’s Ciaccona, Intermezzo e Adagio was commissioned by famous cellist Gaspar Cassadò.

Of the composers who wrote for these forces, the name of Niccolò Paganini certainly stands out, but others such as Ferdinando Carulli, Filippo Gragnani, and Bartolomeo Bortolazzi also enjoyed a certain notoriety during the course of their artistic careers.

• Alongside this specific repertoire, there undoubtedly existed another that would have been “borrowed,” so to speak, from ensembles consisting of guitar and a soprano instrument. But which mandolin and guitar are we talking about? There is some confusion surrounding the term “mandolino” among even the most expert scholars and musicians. The situation was already complicated in the 18th century because of the different types of instruments in use.

DEBUSSY: Pelléas et Mélisande (complete opera)

This live 1969 broadcast performance of Debussy’s operatic masterpiece—and one of the seminal vocal works of the 20th century— has long been unavailable, and is now welcomed back in re-mastered sound at budget price on Opera d’Oro. Real French singers in the three principal roles make a vast difference stylistically, and a major world conductor at the height of his fresh powers is a special bonus.

Puccini’s first opera, Le villi, was premiered in 1884 on a triple bill with two other short works now forgotten. It was the surprise hit of the evening, but the little opera’s appeal was not long lasting—it soon disappeared from world stages except for occasional presentation as a novelty once Puccini was more famous for other works.

GLUCK: Paride ed Elena (complete opera) VERDI: Il corsaro (complete opera) Gluck wrote three “reform operas” with Ranieri de’ Calzabigi: Orfeo ed Euridice and Alceste have been famous over the centuries, but the third, Paride ed Elena, based on the Homeric story of the abduction of the Spartan beauty Helen by the Trojan Paris, seemed to make little initial impression even though it contains some of Gluck’s finest music. After its premiere in 1770, it disappeared from the boards until revived in the historic 1968 live performance preserved on this recording. Even so, its popularity remained low until another revival in 2005, which had far greater publicity.

Order Date: May 24, 2007

Listed as thirteenth among Verdi’s stage works, Il corsaro was actually conceived years before it was finished. By the time it was finally produced in 1848, its style seemed something of a throwback, and the premiere was an unmitigated disaster. Many subsequent writers dismissed it as one of Verdi’s worst operas, but this opinion has been challenged in recent years. Its numerous musical beauties outweigh any hesitations induced by its old-fashioned story, and this 1971 live performance shows it at its best.

These are the stories of American Warriors—the lives they led, the victories they won, and the leadership they provided. This insightful series provides a unique look at the men that led America’s armies in the epic battles and conflicts of the twentieth century.

American Warriors: The Great Generals Pershing, Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton John J. Pershing Pershing commanded the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in Europe during World War I. Upon his return in 1919, Congress awarded him the title “General of the Armies of the United States,” previously accorded only to George Washington.

Dwight D. Eisenhower During World War II, Eisenhower proved to be the outstanding general of the war. He was chosen to lead Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa, and as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe. He supervised Operation Overlord, the invasion of France, and the subsequent invasion of Nazi Germany. Eisenhower served as President of the US from 1953–1961.

Omar N. Bradley During World War II, Bradley commanded the 12th Army Group, the largest body of American soldiers ever to serve under one field commander. His troops smashed the Nazi counter offensive in the Ardennes at the Battle of the Bulge, and helped capture the last standing bridge over the River Rhine at Remagen.

George S. Patton, Jr. Patton commanded the 3rd Army following the Normandy invasion and played a crucial role during the Battle of the Bulge. A true icon of World War II, Patton earned the nickname “Old Blood and Guts” for his aggressiveness, discipline, and zeal in combat.

Douglas MacArthur MacArthur rose to Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in World War II. His statement, “I shall return,” became the battle cry of the Pacific campaign and for the liberation of the Philippine Islands from Japanese occupation. In the Korean War, he served as commander of UN Forces.

Great Sea Battles of world war II Sea power proved crucial in determining the outcome of World War II, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific Theaters. In this program, we witness some of the epic sea battles that were fought during the course of the war: the battles against the German surface raiders Graf Spee and Bismarck, and the ongoing battle of the Atlantic that pitted the Royal Navy—and later the US Navy—against the German U-boats. We also examine the decisive sea battles that marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific: Midway in the central Pacific and the Coral Sea in the southern Pacific.

The Battle of Midway The battle of Midway marked the easternmost expansion of Japanese power in the Pacific during World War II. The victory of US forces marked the turning of the tide in the Pacific War, barely six months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. At Midway, US forces successfully sank the bulk of the Japanese carrier fleet while avoiding a trap set by the Japanese Navy. This was the first sea battle fought entirely by carrier-based planes—a battle where neither side’s ships ever came within visual contact of the other. It marked a new chapter in the annals of naval warfare and set the pattern that would dominate naval warfare in the Pacific Theater.

In this program we witness some of the great carrier battles of World War II: the Battle of the Coral Sea, Midway, and the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.

They relegated the mighty battleships to a support role, permitted the projection of naval power to unprecedented distances, and allowed the world’s navies to engage without having to come within sight of one another.

Boots Randolph “If the devil ever decided to go down to Nashville, no one would expect him to bring a sax. But if he did, Boots Randolph’s name would be the first to pass his fiery lips. The veteran saxman plays one hell of a horn, if you’ll pardon the expression.”

Las Vegas Sun Front Cover Sticker:

The legendary sax player for Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison is back - with 14 standards including ‘Round Midnight,’ ‘Cry Me a River,’ and ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’!
