Price Code: 2A29 (2 SACD Set + Book, Suggested Retail Price: $59.98)

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Jerusalem is simultaneously a Jewish, Arab and Christian city — a city of pilgrimage, exile and refuge. With this new release from Alia Vox, Maestro Jordi Savall makes a powerful and timely statement.

The project, the result of many years of fastidious research by Savall and Israeli musician Yair Dalal, aims to present many aspects of this city through the musical traditions of all three monotheistic religions.

By bringing together the music of these seemingly disparate cultures without blurring their boundaries, Savall and Dalal demonstrate that they are in fact intimately related. To help make his point, he has collected a team of star musicians from many cultures. To supplement Savall’s own groups, Hespèrion XXI and La Capella Reial de Catalunya, Savall and Dalal are joined by sufi ensemble Al-Darwish and musicians from Armenia, Greece and Turkey. This amazing two super-audio CD set is accompanied by a 400 page book (in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Arabic) that features discussions about the history, cultural background and other aspects of the musical selections. Ultimately, Savall and his colleagues hope that the power of music will be a force for peace and understanding in this troubled part of the world.

Complete solo 78-rpm recordings

York Bowen (piano) "13 s "13

Price Code: A19 (2 CDs for the Price of 1, Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) In recent years, York Bowen the composer has enjoyed a spectacular revival. However, until now ,his talents as pianist (barring one recording for Lyrita) have not been heard since the days of 78s. At the height of his success in the beginning of the 20th century, Bowen was well known as a soloist. His first recording, a rare disc on the Marathon label, was released in 1915. However, the bulk of his output was offered by Vocalion.

Bowen’s Beethoven Piano Concerto No.4 was the very first recording of the work.

Its neglect has been due to the fact that it was one of the last recordings to be made using the old acoustic process. Through all the featured works on this CD we hear a pianist who plays in the ‘grand manner.’ That, as well as his preference for romantic repertoire, reveal him as somewhat atypical of English pianists of his time and earned him the nickname ‘the English Rachmaninov.’

January 2009

105 Minutes/ Dolby Digital 5.1/ DTS 5.1/ 16x9/ Region Free Heinz Spoerli’s Zurich Ballet Cinderella production, filmed as a musical from Hollywood, turned out to be a huge success at its premiere and must rank as one of the most ‘dancerly’ stagings Prokofiev’s popular ballet has ever received. Sumptuously designed and dressed

by Johan Engels, the ballet’s main sponsor was Switzerland’s leading silk manufacturer.

Conducted by Vladimir Fedoseyev, one of today’s leading Russian music directors, it is lavishly choreographed by Spoerli, who makes the most of the purely classical sections of the drama, contrasting them efficiently with the grotesqueries of the ballet mistress and her spoiled daughters in drag. Lead dancers include Karine Seneca as Cinderella, Stanislav Jermakov as Frederic, Marine Castel as The Godmother, Jozef Varga as The Stepmother, and Nicolas Blanc and François Petit as The Stepsisters.

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD The Dutch group Frommermann is named after Harry Frommermann, founder of the Comedian Harmonists. This legendary German ensemble, comprised of five singers and a pianist, was a huge sensation in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The group was famous for their broad variety of vocal styles and natural comedic sensibility. In 1935, the Nazis forced the group to disband.

Frommermann was formed to revive the memory and tradition of the Comedian Harmonists. Their latest relase, Holland-America Line, is dedicated to American and Dutch music of the 1930s and 1940s. Performed in the same manner as the Comedian Harmonists, all the pieces on this CD are especially arranged for the Frommermann ensemble.

DVD: 65 minutes/ Stereo/ Region Free For the Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartett, some of the high points of their thirty year performing career have included winning the Musica Antiqua Festival in Bruges, winning the Edison Classic Award, performing with a big band, recording in Abbey Road studios, their concerts for the Royal Family of the Netherlands, as well as many fascinating encounters with colleagues, composers, recorder makers and audiences around the world. To celebrate this milestone, Channel Classics has put together a disc that features tracks from the Loeki Stardust catalog. Each was personally selected by members of the quartet. As a special bonus, this specially-priced release includes a DVD with three concerts, an interview and some material from the group’s private archives. Altogether, The Loeki Files is a fitting tribute to these extraordinary artists.

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Rossini was a genius, especially as a melody composer. His instrumental music is like colorful opera arias or songs without words. To perform these melodies one needs to articulate and characterize like actors on stage. And of course one needs to have a brilliant, fast tongue and fast fingers. Italians talk fast with beautiful diction, especially in a heated discussion. This disc features works for both the full orchestra as well as for small ensembles of musicians taken from the larger group. Each has a solistic flavor, from the oboe solos in the Silken Ladder overture to the double-bass wizardry in the String Sonata in G major. All are played with just the right levels of verve and wit by the Budapest Festival Orchestra led by Ivan Fischer.

TheTippett Quartet’s survey of the string quartets of Stephen Dodgson reaches its second volume with the third and fourth quartets and the Quintet for Guitar and String Quartet. This is essentially lyrical music with graceful melodic lines, and the five movements of the Fourth Quartet can each be played as separate works. The guitar quintet features the Australian guitarist Craig Ogden, who brings a mercurial lightness to the virtuoso writing of the scherzo and a lyrical interplay with the strings in the outer movement. He draws a rich variety of sound in the finale, which leads to a resounding climax.

Most intriguing is a collection of all John Ireland’s shorter pieces — mainly orchestrations by other hands — including Merry Andrew, Bagatelle, Cavatina, The Holy Boy, Elegiac Meditation, Villanella and Menuetto-Impromptu. Only one of these has been previously recorded. These delightful miniatures are coupled with Ireland pupil Peter Crossley-Holland’s epic Symphony in D, a tuneful and tonal masterpiece of wide appeal. Crossley-Holland, for a long time associated with the BBC Third Program, was also an ethnomusicologist and is wide-ranging in the sources he has absorbed in the symphony.

Royal String Quartet )ZQFSJPO s $%"

The all-Polish Royal String Quartet are one of the most interesting string quartets of the young generation. They are particularly acclaimed for their performances of music from their homeland and have received the Special Prize of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in recognition of their contribution to Polish culture. Their debut recording for Hyperion features music by Szymanowski and Rózycki. The two Szymanowski quartets are contrasting masterpieces from different periods in the composer’s career. The fi rst is impressionistic, with a voluptuous, erotic sensibility and many layers of texture and color. The second is from the composer’s last phase and draws on the full range of folk materials he had encountered in the Tatra highlands. The disc concludes with a contemporary rarity, the string quartet by Rózycki, a work that shows the virtues of a late-Romantic idiom untouched by French or Russian style.

Nash Ensemble )ZQFSJPO s $%"

January 2009

On this new disc, the Nash Ensemble turns its attention to two works from decisive moments in Beethoven’s career. The String Quintet in E flat major Op.4 is a radical rethinking and expansion of his octet for pairs of wind instruments that was written in Vienna in 1793. Throughout the quintet, the textures are lighter and more flexible than those of the octet, full of the free, informal contrapuntal interplay that is among the glories of the Viennese classical style. Beethoven’s String Quintet in C major Op.9, his sole work conceived for the medium, was written in 1801. This strangely neglected masterpiece is Janus-headed, at once retrospective and prophetic.

On the other hand, the tranquil expansiveness and harmonic breadth of the quintet’s first movement presage masterpieces like the first ‘Razumovsky’ quartet and the ‘Archduke’ piano trio.

Graham Johnson’s monumental and triumphant complete Schumann songs edition comes to an end with an eleventh disc of rarities and delights. The first issue in the Hyperion edition of Schuman’s songs, with the soprano Christine Schäfer, included a number of the composer’s later lieder. With this last issue we come full circle, in returning to some of the least known songs-music seldom heard on the concert platform. Hanno Müller-Brachmann appears in his debut recording for Hyperion. As well as a devoted lieder singer who has performed with some of the greatest living pianists, he is also a considerable presence on the world’s opera stages and an acclaimed interpreter of Bach’s passions. He brings all these qualities to this fascinating disc. Various duets and ensemble pieces are included on this disc and feature familiar and well-loved singers from elsewhere in this series, as well as the winner of the 2008 Kathleen Ferrier Prize: Katherine Broderick. The release is complemented by Graham Johnson’s renowned booklet notes.

The Binchois Consort’s first recordings of Dufay for Hyperion achieved iconic status, winning the group a Gramophone award along the way. Their latest recording contains what many consider to be Dufay’s masterpiece. His Missa Se la face ay pale is one of the best known, and perhaps most revered, of all polyphonic masses. Along with a handful of other such works, it has become a touchstone for the idea and structural design of the unified cantus firmus mass, a classic exemplification of the musical style and achievement of an era. The work is presented here, however, not as a five-movement sequence but in a more differentiated and perhaps more appropriate dramatic fashion, interspersed with music in a contrasting style for the Proper of the Mass. The program is completed by two motets and the ballade on which the mass is based. This recording evokes in sound something of the cultural achievement and brilliance of the Court of Savoy at its first peak of maturity, during the middle decades of the fifteenth century.

Recent discs from Marc-AndrĂŠ Hamelin have concentrated on music that is obscure, under-recorded or virtually unplayable. However in this latest recording he turns his attention to two mainstays of the Romantic repertoire: Chopin’s Piano Sonatas. The results are simply staggering: playing of matchless brilliance and consummate artistry, stunningly recorded. As a recent critic of Hamelin’s live performance of the B minor sonata remarked, “Hamelin starts where most other pianists leave off... such was his control that frequently it seemed as though an extra dimension were being added, the music’s teeming internal life clarified by his ability to voice the inner parts.â€? The disc is completed by some of Chopin’s greatest single-movement works. the contrasting two Nocturnes of Op. 27, the extraordinarily coloristic Berceuse Op. 57 and the monumental Barcarolle in F sharp major.

Albéric Magnard really is the great so-far-undiscovered master of French music. Born in 1865 (the same year as Sibelius, Nielsen and Glazunov), the son of the managing editor of Le Figaro, his reticent personality prevented him from courting fame or even performances of his music. But he wrote two operas, chamber music and four wonderful symphonies unsurpassed by any other French composer of his time. His end was tragic: in 1914, defending his estate in Normandy, he was shot dead by German soldiers who then burned his house down, destroying many manuscripts (including one of the operas mentioned above which is now lost forever). His four-movement symphonies are substantial in length, cyclic in character, serious, attractively scored, slightly melancholic and well worth getting to know.

Price Code: 2A13 (2 SACD Set, Suggested Retail Price: $27.98) SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD If there is one quality that summarizes Valery Gergiev’s Mahler, it is unpredictability. It is music making that lives in the moment — it speaks to the heart rather than the head. The second symphony was clearly a favorite of the composer. Mahler conducted it thirteen times and programmed it for the farewell concert that marked the end of his tenure director of the Vienna Opera. It was the first of his symphonies that he performed in America and the first of his own works that he conducted in Paris. Gergiev’s interpretation of Mahler’s Resurrection symphony provides a wealth of emotional and spiritual riches.

Throughout the performance, the London Symphony Orchestra’s players give Gergiev their total commitment, producing delicate pianissimos and climaxes of thunderous and percussive power.

“It is difficult to resist Valery Gergiev in full flow. He summons such reserves of power and commitment from the LSO that one cannot help but be swept along.”

This new recording is produced by the legendary Andrew Keener who will also produce the next title in the series, the String Quintets, scheduled for release in 2009.

DVD: 100 minutes/ Stereo 5.1 Surround/ Picture Format 16:9/ Region Free On this new disc, 2008 Grammy® and Gramophone Award winning violinist James Ehnes pays tribute to the world’s most celebrated violin-makers. This unique Onyx project features performances on twelve of the greatest instruments ever made. The Fulton Collection is perhaps the most important private collection of instruments in the world. It contains many examples of the legendary names Stradivari, Guarneri, da Salo and Guadagnini. For example, the priceless La Pucelle has never been heard in a recording, and the Lord Wilton was Yehudi Menuhin’s last instrument. Ehnes performs twenty-one selections in a carefully planned recital program specially chosen to suit each instrument and to work on its own terms. It finishes with a section comparing each instrument in an excerpt of the same piece, a unique opportunity to contrast the sound qualities of these spectacular instruments. The set includes a DVD with the complete performances plus spectacular close-ups of the instruments and substantial interviews. This highly collectible package includes detailed notes by Ehnes himself. This is a landmark recording for all lovers of great instruments and of course great playing.

“A splendid violinist, with a sweet, lyrical string tone and a zippy rhythmic sense.”

Il80 40c$)#^@XN Price Code: A21 (Suggested Retail Price: $21.98)

Onyx is proud to announce the debut release on the label by the legendary virtuoso and poet of the keyboard Nikolai Demidenko. Recognized as one of the great Chopin players of our time, this is his first recording of the Preludes.

Bryce Morrison in Gramophone magazine praised his last Chopin recital disc by saying, “Demidenko’s razor-sharp articulation and immaculate dexterity are complemented by the finest musical grace and individuality” (Editor’s Choice, 2007). Demidenko rose to prominence when he won the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1978. He then recorded a highly acclaimed series of discs in the 80s and 90s (mainly on Hyperion) including a Gramophone award-winning disc of Medtner concertos. As a young man he was widely acclaimed as a firebrand virtuoso, but this was never the whole story and like a good wine, his playing has matured gloriously. Now with new management, Nikolai plans to resume a more high-profile international concert career.

WEKERLIN La Laitière de Trianon

Joan Rodgers (soprano) Yann Beuron (tenor), Jeff Cohen (piano) 0QFSB 3BSB s 033

As with a previous issue in Opera Rara’s acclaimed Il Salotto series, which comprised Pauline Viardot’s delightful chamber operetta Cendrillon, this release focuses on a single work designed for intimate performance — J.B. Wekerlin’s ‘opérette de salon’ La Laitière de Trianon (The Milkmaid of Trianon). Just two singers take part in the piece, set at Versailles in 1775. The composer, JeanBaptiste Wekerlin (1821-1910), was a pupil of Halévy who spent much of his career as a distinguished librarian and editor of early French operas. However, his own stage compositions won success in their day, with L’organiste dans l’embarras clocking up more than 100 performances. None of them had a more auspicious launch, however, than La Laitière de Trianon, which made its debut at one of Rossini’s soirées musicales 1858. This disc is accompanied by a fully illustrated, 76-page booklet written by Jeremy Commons.

A celebration of Leonard Bernstein

Il21936c) @)(YO Price Code: A28 (Suggested Retail Price: $28.98)

84 minutes/ Dolby Stereo 5.1 Surround/ Region Free Music Director of the New York Philharmonic from 1958 to 1969 and Laureate Conductor from 1969 to 1990, Leonard Bernstein brought his own particular New World sensibility to classical music. Equally at home in a Broadway theater or concert hall, the beloved “Lenny” — who performed at Carnegie Hall more than 400 times during his career — had an enthusiasm for an understanding of music far beyond the classical realm, extending into jazz, world music, American song and even rock. Michael Tilson Thomas, who first met the maestro in 1968, was a close friend and colleague for many years. This connection made the choice of MTT and The San Francisco Symphony to headline the Bernstein gala concert that opened the Carnegie Hall 2008-09 season an easy one. The sold-out concert kicked off a New York City-wide tribute to composer Bernstein, who would have celebrated his 90th birthday in 2008. Filmed in high definition and 5.1 surround sound, the performance features music from a wide variety of Bernstein’s stage works, from early triumphs like West Side Story and On the Town to later works such as Mass and A Quiet Place. Featured superstar guests include Dawn Upshaw, Thomas Hampson,Yo Yo Ma and Broadway star Christine Ebersole. The DVD also includes a bonus of MTT interviewing Hampson, Ma and Upshaw.

The concert that Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic gave in London’s Royal Festival Hall on the evening of Saturday April 27, 1985 was their first in England for four years and followed a brief period of strife in the relationship between conductor and orchestra. Now in his mid70s, Karajan was troubled by a painful and ultimately irreversible spinal condition that had nearly cost him his life in the winter of 1975-76. Yet once settled on the podium, Karajan was, as ever, fully in control, master of all he surveyed. This concert featured repertoire for which the conductor and orchestra had a long history, Beethoven’s fourth symphony and the Strauss tone-poem Ein Heldenleben. The second disc offered here dates from October 1988.

Forty years had passed since he had first conducted in London in April 1948. During those years, audiences throughout the world had flocked to his concerts. This would be the great conductor’s final London concert, and features the Brahms first and Schönberg’s expressionistic Verklärte Nacht.

Van Cliburn’s historic victory

Hk4967 c!$ )@+U Price Code: A22 (Suggested Retail Price: $22.98)

1958 was a red-letter year not only in music competition history but in the entire history of performance. In that year the USSR established the first International Tchaikovsky Competition as a showcase for its own imperial talent. Once again they would demonstrate that in the sphere of great romantic piano playing they had no equals.

Summoning the finest pianists and jurors they prepared for a victory followed by international acclaim. But neither they nor anyone else could have expected the gauntlet thrown down by a twentyfour-year-old Texan pianist named Van Cliburn.

Viewed with suspicion, Cliburn’s nationality

invited hostility. This was the time of the cold war and the USSR and America viewed each other across a seemingly unbridgeable chasm.

Pre-conceived notions of Juilliardtrained American pianists were in the air. Cliburn’s performances, characterized by broad tempi, rare poetic rhapsody and freedom captured in massive and delicate tone, came like a bolt out of the blue.

All possible animosity turned to awe and amazement as Cliburn’s audience

listened to a pianist ‘more Russian than the Russians,’ one who played their own music with a rare emotional warmth and charisma.

Suddenly Cliburn, an outsider from alien territory, became their beloved ‘Vanushka’, the stage and dressing-room littered with gifts and flowers. Cliburn arrived in Moscow with three suitcases and left with seventeen.

Later, when both jury and audience had recovered, their comments came thick and fast and this Testament release will surely re-ignite not a controversy but a unique triumph and occasion.

“For we Russians his way with Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov in particular was uncanny. Such grandeur, romantic warmth and empathy. He came close to sentimentality, but he never quite crossed the line. His playing had an extraordinary nobility.”

(2nd place to Maurizio Pollini in the 1960 Chopin Competition in Warsaw)

Ferran Savall, son of world-famous classical musicians Montserrat Figueras and Jordi Savall, was born in 1979. He began his professional musical career in 2001 singing in the SonAzul ensemble (funk, blues, jazz and flamenco fusion), which performs on a regular basis in Barcelona’s jazz clubs. In 2002, he sang with Bobby McFerrin at the Vitoria Jazz Festival and in 2005 he sang on the classical album “Du temps et du l’Instant” along with the other members of his superstar family. The album was toured around the world and was met with high critical acclaim. Mireu el nostre mar, Ferran’s solo debut, is a project that brings together his own music, pieces by South American authors and traditional Catalan folk songs. Savall felt that despite the great beauty and emotion of the old Catalan melodies, many of them had become anchored in a nostalgic past and no longer related to the younger generation. Therefore, to ‘reawaken’ them, he has infused them with the musical and multicultural influences of his own time.

January 2009

File in: World / South America / Brazil Gilberto Gil is a legend of Brazilian music and a cultural icon in his country.

From 2003 to 2008, he has served as his country’s Minister of Culture in the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He started out as a bossa nova musician, eventually writing songs that reflected a new focus on political awareness and social activism. He was a key figure in the Música Popular Brasileira and Tropicalismo movements of the 1960s, alongside artists such as longtime collaborator Caetano Veloso. The Brazilian military regime that took power in 1964 saw both Gil and Veloso as a threat, and the two were held for nine months in 1969 before they were told to leave the country. Gil moved to London, but returned to the Brazilian state of Bahia in 1972 and continued his musical career, as well as working as a politician and environmental advocate. Gil’s musical style incorporates an eclectic range of influences, including rock, Brazilian genres including samba and forró, African music, and reggae. This Iris ‘best-of ’ collection includes some of Gil’s most popular songs, most of which were recorded in the ‘80s.

Advance CD review

January 2009

File in: World / Europe / Bulgaria Ivo Papasov, nicknamed Ibryama, is a Bulgarian clarinetist. He leads the Ivo Papasov Wedding Band in performances of jazzinfused Stambolovo music, and is one of the premier creators of the genre known as “wedding band” music in Bulgaria, along with saxophonist Yuri Yunakov and accordionist Neshko Neshev. Built upon virtuosic technique, inventive improvisation, rapid tempos and daring key changes, “wedding music” is based in Balkan folk music and infused with a riveting mix of jazz and rock, Gypsy, Turkish and Indian music. Papasov and Yunakov have toured the United States several times. In 2005 Papasov won the Audience Award from the BBC’s Radio3 World Music Awards.

“Ivo’s wedding music, played first thing in the morning, provides thorough and long-lasting attitude adjustment for the busy executive.”

— FRANK ZAPPA

“Papasov is a whirlwind of a musician, a technical virtuoso out of whom spills a phenomenal approach to the clarinet, one that bubbles and boils away with volcano-like energy and heat. It might be stretching things to say you’ll find references here to most middle- and eastern European music traditions, but not by very much. You don’t have to be about to get married to listen to Papasov’s intoxicating collection of wedding songs, but do clear a space on the nearest available floor and be prepared to get up and dance.”
