TIANWA YANG
LIVE IN CONCERT IN ST PETERSBURG Tianwa Yang, violin St Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra • Vladimir Lande TCHAIKOVSKY BRAHMS YSAŸE J.S. BACH
Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77 Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor ‘Ballade’ Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004 BONUS
This is the accomplished and stylish Russian debut of Tianwa Yang – one of the most unusual and energetic violinists of our time. To an enthusiastic audience within the walls of the beautiful Court Capella in St Petersburg, she performs the much-loved concertos of Tchaikovsky and Brahms with the St Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra under the sensitive direction of Vladimir Lande. The remarkable intensity of her playing is just as apparent in both her encore – Ysaÿe’s Violin Sonata No. 3 – and her separate performance of Bach’s solo Partita No. 2. Tianwa Yang has quickly established herself as a leading international performer and recording artist. She has recorded critically acclaimed interpretations of the complete music for violin and piano, and for violin and orchestra, by Sarasate. Her recording of Mendelssohn’s two violin concertos (8.572662) has won the highest praise.

Eldar Nebolsin
Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18 Piano Sonata No. 4 in E flat major, Op. 7 BONUS
Against the backdrop of St Petersburg’s beautiful Court Capella, Eldar Nebolsin performs the piano concertos of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov with a passion and sincerity as palpable on screen as live in the hall. With such evident pleasure and seemingly with ease, he transforms the familiar into something fresh and wonderful. He is seen live with Vladimir Lande and the St Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra. Bonus material shows Nebolsin as soloist in an intimate and equally engaging performance of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Sonata. In 2005, Eldar Nebolsin was unanimously awarded the Sviatoslav Richter Prize in the First International Piano Competition in Moscow, where he was also honoured with the special award for The Best Classical Concerto Performance. He enjoys a busy international career as a soloist, recitalist and chamber-music player, appearing with conductors, orchestras and colleagues of international distinction.

Members of Kalanidhi Dance with Marianne Fiset and Nathalie Paulin in rehearsal of Opera Lafayette’s production of “Lalla Roukh” by Félicien David
Félicien DAVID (1810–1876) Lalla Roukh (Opéra-comique in two acts)
World Première Recording
Marianne Fiset, soprano • Emiliano Gonzalez Toro, tenor Nathalie Paulin, soprano • Bernard Deletré, bass-baritone David Newman, baritone • Andrew Adelsberger, bass-baritone Opera Lafayette • Ryan Brown French opera owes much of its obsession with exoticism to the pivotal figure of Félicien David, a pioneer of ‘musical Orientalism’. His opera Lalla Roukh, first performed to huge acclaim in 1862, was the catalyst for the explosion in operas set in the ‘Exotic East’. The fairy-tale plot revolves around an Indian princess who travels to Bukhara (part of modern Uzbekistan) to meet the man to whom she is to be given in marriage. Along the way she falls in love with the minstrel Noureddin who is, in fact, the King of Bukhara in disguise. David’s evocative and magical orchestration is harnessed to memorable melodies, including Lalla Roukh’s deftly harmonized arias ‘Sous le feuillage sombre’ and ‘O nuit d’amour’.
8.660338-39 2 CDs 7
30099 03387 9
Sales Points • Félicien David is an important if often forgotten figure in French music, particularly responsible for the explosion in operas set in the ‘Exotic East’. Almost all leading French opera composers succumbed, including Saint-Saëns, Delibes, Gounod, Bizet, Lalo, Massenet and other lesser-known composers. His magical opera Lalla Roukh sits well alongside those from the contemporaries already mentioned, and is a good pairing for his famous ode-symphony Le désert which inspired the exotic craze in the first place. David’s Brises d’oreint is on 8.223376 whilst his Piano Trios are on 8.223492.
Playing Time: 1:47:00
Through his work with Opera Lafayette, Ryan Brown has gained an international reputation for his interpretations of French opera, and in particular for his rôle in the revival of works from the eighteenth century. Companion Titles

Michał Nesterowicz
Giacomo MEYERBEER (1791–1864) Ballet Music from the Operas Les Huguenots • Robert le Diable L’Étoile du Nord • Le Prophète • L’Africaine Barcelona Symphony Orchestra • Michał Nesterowicz
Giacomo Meyerbeer was one of the most significant opera composers of all time. The four grand operas represented here brought him his greatest fame, with Les Huguenots being one of the most performed of all operas. Meyerbeer’s contributions to the French tradition of opéra-ballet acquired legendary status, including the ghostly Ballet of the Nuns from Robert le Diable; the exotic orchestral colour of the Marche indienne in L’Africaine; and the virtuoso Ballet of the Skaters from Le Prophète in which the dancers famously glided over the stage using roller skates. Sales Points • By no means released in isolation, this title follows another recent recording by the Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra with ballet music from the operas of Massenet (8.573123). These superbly warm-hearted performances by one of our best ‘house’ orchestras brings together some of the most popular and renowned ballet music ever written into a single highly attractive programme. This is one which we are sure will be a big hit with a very wide audience.
8.573076
Michał Nesterowicz is Artistic Director of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife, and has previously held equivalent posts at the Orquesta Sinfónica de Chile and the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra (Gdańsk).

Toshio HOSOKAWA (b. 1955) Orchestral Works, Volume 1 Royal Scottish National Orchestra • Jun Märkl
Horn Concerto ‘Moment of Blossoming’ Stefan Dohr, French horn Lotus under the moonlight – Piano Concerto Momo Kodama, piano Chant Anssi Karttunen, cello
Sales Points • Hosokawa is one of Japan’s most prominent classical composers and was winner of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra’s centennial composition competition. This is contemporary Japanese music full of ceremonial singing and blossoming and contracting musical shapes, some of them quite explosive. His music has been recorded by a diverse variety of labels. Chandos has released his Hiroshima Symphony, whilst Landscapes is on ECM and there is a set of his concertos on Neos. Naxos has already released his Flute music on 8.572479, and Circulating Ocean, coupled with Debussy’s La mer, is on 8.570775.
Jun Märkl
Jun Märkl was Music Director of the Orchestre National de Lyon from 2005 to 2011. In recognition of his tenure in Lyon and his very successful nine-disc Debussy cycle with the orchestra on Naxos [8.509002], in 2012 he was honoured by the French Ministry of Culture with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

Japanese musicians have often taken the connection between man and nature as their theme and award-winning composer Toshio Hosokawa stands strongly in that artistic lineage. His Horn Concerto ‘Moment of Blossoming’ imagines the solo instrument as a lotus flower and the orchestra as the cosmos. The theme of the blossoming lotus continues in the piano concerto Lotus under the moonlight and in the songful Chant for cello and orchestra, influenced by Shômyô singing (the ceremonial music of Japanese Buddhism). The Horn Concerto was co-commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam and London’s Barbican Centre.

Richard DANIELPOUR (b. 1956) Toward a Season of Peace One of the most sought-after and acclaimed composers of his generation, Richard Danielpour refers to himself as “an American composer with a Middle Eastern memory.” His distinctive voice is part of a rich neo-Romantic heritage which includes composers such as Copland, Bernstein and Barber. Toward a Season of Peace is an oratorio which explores violence and war in the name of religion, using the season of spring as a metaphor for change and transformation toward songs of peace through forgiveness. Danielpour’s insistence on music having “an immediate visceral impact” can be heard throughout his oeuvre, and the beautifully translated Persian poetry and rich spirit of harmony in Toward a Season of Peace make it symbolic of a brighter future for everyone.
Richard Danielpour
Sales Points • Richard Danielpour’s work has attracted critical acclaim from many quarters, and this release of Toward a Season of Peace joins a number of successful Naxos recordings. His Third Symphony was admired by MusicWeb International for its “almost Wagnerian expansiveness”, and his piano preludes The Enchanted Garden attract with their “poignant processional chords and discreet dissonant touches” (Gramophone). Including artists such as soprano Hila Plitmann, whose singing has been described as “simply unreal in its beauty” (Entertainment Today), Towards a Season of Peace was a major event at the Pacific Symphony’s Nowruz – Celebrating Spring Festival in 2012 and its release on CD now is equally if not even more significant.
Hila Plitmann
As Pacific Symphony’s music director since 1990–91, Carl St.Clair has become widely recognised for his musically distinguished performances, commitment to outstanding educational programs and innovative approaches to programming. St Clair is known for the critically acclaimed annual American Composers Festivals, which began in 2000.

Matthew LOCKE (c. 1621–1677) The Broken Consort, Part I
Suite in G major from Tripla Concordia Suite in E minor from Tripla Concordia
Wayward Sisters (Beth Wenstrom, Baroque violin • Anne Timberlake, recorders Anna Steinhoff, Baroque cello • John Lenti, theorbo) Matthew Locke was the most prominent English musician of the generation before Purcell, occupying a unique place between the Renaissance consort tradition and Baroque chamber music. The Broken Consort refers to a group with mixed instruments, and Locke’s pieces entertained royalty with their ambitiously chromatic tonal language and rhythmic quirkiness. The Composer to the Private Musick was never happier than with surprisingly angular melodies and dramatic gestures ‘into the theatricall way’. This recording is the début release of Wayward Sisters, winners of the 2011 Early Music America/Naxos Recording Competition. Sales Points • This release is the first from Naxos to be dedicated to Matthew Locke, whose music is deservedly admired amongst those knowledgeable about Early Music. The remarkable young ensemble Wayward Sisters have been admired as having ‘polished and spirited playing’ and having ‘alert, stylish performances’ (Chicago Classical Review). Wayward Sisters’ performance sources include their own edition of one of Locke’s Suites, and their vibrantly state of the art performances are guaranteed to create a great deal of interest.
8.573020
Members of Wayward Sisters have studied historical performance at Oberlin Conservatory, Indiana University, and The Juilliard School. The name ʻWayward Sistersʼ refers not only to Henry Purcellʼs vivid conjuring of Shakespeareʼs witches, but to the group membersʼ far-flung lives and continuing commitment to making music together.

The Songs and Dances of Tears† • Colors of Crimson‡
Trey Lee, cello*† • Hui Li, pipa† • Tong Wu, sheng† Sa Chen, piano† • Pius Cheung, marimba‡ Hong Kong Philharmonic • Bright Sheng
In 2000 Bright Sheng collected music from the remote mountains and deserts along the ancient Silk Road in China. The Song and Dance of Tears combines Chinese and Western sonorities in an evocation of the deep emotional impressions made on him by the beautiful music of that region. Colors of Crimson expands the timbre of the solo marimba through a fascinating spectrum of orchestral effects, while the skilful fusion of Chinese and Central Asian classical and folk music in The Blazing Mirage was inspired by the miraculously preserved artistic and cultural treasures of the Dunhuang Caves.

MacArthur Fellow Bright Sheng has collaborated with such renowned musicians as Bernstein, Masur, Eschenbach, Dutoit, Slatkin, Van Zweden, Yo-Yo Ma, Peter Serkin, Emanuel Ax, Gil Shaham, Yefin Bronfman and Evelyn Glennie, among others. He has been commissioned and performed by virtually all the important musical institutions in North America, Europe and Asia, including the White House, Beijing Olympics, the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw, St Petersburg Philharmonic, San Francisco Opera, and the San Francisco Ballet. He has served as Artistic Advisor to Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project. Companion Titles

Justin Heinrich KNECHT (1752–1817) Le Portrait musical de la Nature Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino • Christian Benda
François-André Danican PHILIDOR (1726–1795) Overtures – Le Jardinier et Son Seigneur
Le Sorcier • Tom Jones • Le Maréchal-Ferrant Prague Sinfonia Orchestra • Christian Benda
Though he wrote a great deal of church music, and also composed for the theatre, Justin Heinrich Knecht is best remembered for his Grande Simphonie ‘Le Portrait musical de la Nature’. Elegantly scored and completed in 1785, this eventful fivemovement symphonic work of nature-depiction predates Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony by almost a quarter of a century. Knecht’s older French contemporary Philidor was the leading chess player of his time in addition to being a popular stage composer, whose overtures reveal the influence of the Italian school in their sparkling drama. Sales Points • Knecht’s Grande Symphonie ‘Le Portrait musical de la Nature’ has been said to be an influence on Beethoven, whose Pastoral symphony was written 24 years after Knecht’s work was published. Its premiere recording was on Carus 83.228, issued in 2012.
8.573066
Christian Benda is descended from a long line of musicians. He is chief conductor and artistic director of the Prague Sinfonia Orchestra of the Velvet Revolution with which he has recorded numerous standard classical works, as well as the complete overtures of Schubert [Naxos 8.570328-29] and Rossini [8.570933, 8.570934, 8.570935, 8.572735].

His fascination with Asian traditional music has had a profound impact on music which often tells ‘dark stories of repression and unjust political imprisonment’ (New Zealand Listener). Body’s opera Alley tells the extraordinary life of Rewi Alley, whose powerful experiences in China are reflected in these specially orchestrated arias. Palaran: Poems of Love and War draws on the subtleties of Javanese gamelan and traditional vocal styles, while Poems of Solitary Delight gives a musical context to Japanese poet Tachibana Akemi’s light-hearted meditations on solitary pleasures. In contrast My Name is Mok Bhon references Cambodian traditional music to express the trauma and anguish of the Khmer Rouge years.

Sales Points • Summed up as ‘the world’s greatest undiscovered composer’ in a quote from the San Francisco Other Minds Festival, Jack Body’s is the kind of music which hooks you the moment you hear it. With only one other CD dedicated to his music, we see this release of world première recordings as a means of bringing his remarkable and highly accessible scores to wider audiences. Performed by the acclaimed New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and a lineup of stunning soloists, this release introduces an entirely new sound – both deeply moving and richly rewarding – to our catalogue of fresh compositional voices.

Peter MAXWELL DAVIES (b. 1934) Yesnaby Ground • Farewell to Stromness Peter Maxwell Davies, piano
Suite from The Boyfriend • Suite from The Devils Seven In Nomine Aquarius • Nicholas Cleobury All the works on this recording have connections with stage or theatre. The two suites are derived from scores that Maxwell Davies wrote for films by Ken Russell and could not be more different. The Boyfriend, based on a 1954 musical by Sandy Wilson, introduces a large dance band and period motifs to great effect, while dramatic extremes depicting the film’s themes of corruption, exorcism and execution within a medieval religious setting are explored in The Devils. Seven in Nomine evokes Maxwell Davies’ interest in medieval plainsong. The composer himself plays two of his most popular piano pieces with their memorable evocations of Orkney landmarks.
8.572408
Playing Time: 71:02 7
47313 24087 6
Sales Points • Peter Maxwell Davies and film director Ken Russell collaborated on a number of important projects, giving rise to music of diversity and distinctive personality. The two 1971 suites recorded here derive from film scores and could not be more different. Seven in Nomine was written earlier, in 1965, and reveals Maxwell Davies’s interest in the music of the sixteenth-century composer John Taverner. Farewell to Stromness and Yesnaby Ground are his best-known piano pieces and are played by the composer. There is very little competition for these pieces – David Holzman recorded them for Centaur in 1993, coupling them with music by Stefan Wolpe. All works from this CD were originally released by Collins Classics. Companion Titles

Frederic MOMPOU (1893–1987) Complete Songs, Volume 1
Marta Mathéu, soprano • Jordi Masó, piano Cantar del alma (Song Of The Soul) • Combat del somni (Dream Battle) Deux mélodies • Quatre mélodies • Quand l’amant sortit (When Her Lover Left) Cinq mélodies sur des textes de Paul Valéry • Mira quina resplendor (See What Splendour) La cançó de l’àvia (Grandma’s Song) • L’hora grisa (The Twilight Hour) • Psalm
Frederic Mompou’s purely intuitive music has a unique place in Catalan history. He was initially inspired by the music of Fauré, but the early La cançó de l’àvia also represents an affinity with traditional Catalan folk-tunes, and his Quatre melodies reflect a love of brevity. Mompou’s beautiful Damunt de tu només les flors [Track 1] is one of his most famous creations, while the sombre Cinq mélodies sur des textes de Paul Valéry is probably his greatest vocal work. Jordi Masó’s six-volume set of the complete piano works of Mompou has been widely acclaimed.
8.573099
Playing Time: 57:24 7
47313 30997 9
Sales Points • For Naxos, starting a series of Mompou’s complete songs is the most logical follow-up to Jordi Masó’s acclaimed set of the composer’s complete piano music. Mompou’s vocal music Marta Mathéu Jordi Masó appears rarely enough in recitals, but this will be the only complete edition in existence, including works unpublished until now. Soprano Marta Mathéu appears amidst a company of “distinguished soloists” (Gramophone) in the Requiem by Bottesini (8.572994), and both musician’s expertise in Spanish and Catalan repertoire is beyond question.

36943 93992 5
Richard Festinger has long been an essential part of Northern California Bay Area musical life, his works described as having a “combination of propulsive energy with an impeccable sense of poise and balance” (Tanglewood Contemporary Music Festival). Each of the works on this recording is a quintessential example of his approach to composition. Diary of a Journey is a metaphorical circle described in exhilarating forward motion and uncertain stillness. The Coming of Age reflects Denis Johnson’s poetry in its intimate precision, and wildly kinetic and mournful personas of the cello are at the center of Laws of Motion. A Dream Foretold is a rich tapestry of enigmatic eloquence, masterful counterpoint and constant surprise. Sales Points • We are proud to add Richard Festinger’s name to our American Classics catalogue. Though a leading figure of the Bay Area musical life, there are few commercially available recordings of his remarkable and stunningly stimulating music. The performers on this recording are all in the front rank, with artists such as James Baker already having appeared on acclaimed releases such as the music of Harold Meltzer (8.559660), and pianist Stephen Gosling making a significant contribution to one of our Robert Craft conducted market leaders in the music of Anton Webern (8.557530).

Since its inception in 1976 the New York New Music Ensemble has received the highest international praise and acclaim for its commissions, performances, and recordings of the American music of our time. The ensemble has commissioned and given premières of over 130 new works by the most outstanding composers in the United States.
Frederic RZEWSKI (b. 1938) Piano Music
Fantasia • Second Hand, or Alone at Last • De Profundis Robert Satterlee, piano

36943 97602 9
Frederic Rzewski is one of the most influential figures in contemporary music. In the composer’s own words, for this second, 1999 version of Fantasia, “I ... changed the music to obscure the tune, putting in lots of wrong notes and kind of stomping on and smudging everything.” Second Hand, or Alone at Last was written for Robert Satterlee, the left hand “executing the most spectacular acrobatics.” Described by the composer as “melodramatic oratorio” for speaking pianist, De Profundis is a startlingly original work which uses an Oscar Wilde text written during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol and requires the pianist to recite, sing, hum, whistle, use a Harpo horn, and hit his own body and the piano while playing a score of considerable variety and drama. Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated can be found on Naxos 8.559360.
8.559760
Playing Time: 55:38
Sales Points • This release joins our “highly recommended” (Gramophone) release of Frederic Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated. De Profundis, the main work here, is only available in the composer’s own recordings, and this new version on its own will attract widespread interest. Soloist Robert Satterlee has a close association with Rzewski, and the dedication of Second Hand, or Alone at Last to him sets the seal on this recording as a highly significant document for some of the most remarkable music for piano of recent years.
