Hyperion’s star ensemble Polyphony returns to the music of Arvo Pärt for their second album of the Estonian composer’s choral works (p.17). Piano fans have much to celebrate this month. Bach expert Angela Hewitt offers a recording of The Art of Fugue (p.15), Andreas Staier continues his survey of the music of Schumann (p.8) and Denis Kozhukhin plays sonatas by Haydn (p.25). Also, volume 64 of Hyperion’s Romantic Piano Concerto series features music by Oswald and Napoloão (p.19) and Maria João Pires plays the Schumann concerto on a set launching Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s Mendelssohn symphony cycle for LSO Live (p.21).

Matthias Goerne’s Schubert Winterreise Matthias Goerne’s highly acclaimed series of Schubert lieder recordings concludes with a powerful account of Winterreise. The mood here is tense, urgent, even harrowing. This winter landscape expects no spring to come.

In the intimate atmosphere of this recording, more than in concert, Goerne’s path to oblivion finds its echo in our innermost selves. Pianist Christoph Eschenbach provides superb accompaniment.

Christmas with the Shepherds Renaissance Choral Music by Mouton, Morales & Stabile

IMPORT Delphian presents Christmas with the Shepherds - a unique album from Rory McCleery and The Marian Consort that illuminates a little-known and Price Code: A19 fascinating musical connection. Jean Mouton’s 1515 (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) motet Quaeramus cum pastoribus was hugely popular with the public and fellow composers alike. This disc features works that were inspired by this hit tune, including a mass by Cristóbal de Morales and the world première recording of a motet to the same text by Annibale Stabile.

IMPORT It was with typical discernment that Geoffrey Webber, director of the Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, responded to Price Code: A19 a request to put together his dream Christmas (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) collection. Opening with Jan Sandström’s sublime deconstruction of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, Webber’s classy choir reveals and delights in equal measure, finding space for both the Venetian lushness of Gabrieli and the distilled purity of Webern in a seasonal collection which is also sprinkled with unexpected gems of more recent provenance.

HANDEL Faramondo

IMPORT Laurence Cummings leads the FestspielOrchester Göttingen and a cast of superb soloists in a performance of Handel’s opera Price Code: 3A17 (3 CD Set, Suggested Retail Price: $53.98) Faramondo. The work was first performed in London in 1738. There were only eight performances and it was never revived during the composer’s lifetime. The first modern production was in Halle in 1976, and several recordings have been made. Its convoluted plot is a story of revenge, intrigues, love and jealousy, backed by some of Handel’s most sublime music.

IMPORT When Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen died in 1728, his former Kapellmeister had not forgotten the five brilliant years he had spent in the prince’s service. He wrote a cantata dedicated to his memory based on the music of two major works of the mid 1720s - the Trauer-Ode and the St. Matthew Passion. Although the score to the Köthener Trauermusik is lost, the wordbook and other sources of information have now made it possible to create a performing edition. In his first recording for harmonia mundi, Raphaël Pichon leads the ensemble Pygmalion in a rediscovery of this little-known work.

Vivaldi was among the composers most sensitive to the instrument’s complex identity, as he shows in his concertos for recorder. On this disc, acclaimed virtuoso Maurice Steger offers highly impressive versions of such popular works as La pastorella, Il gardellino, and the evergreen La notte.

Their recording of Triodion and other choral works won a Gramophone Award and became a cult classic. The selections on this album span nearly five decades — from 1963 to 2012.

The Brazilian Henrique Oswald and the Portuguese Alfredo Napoleão were born in the same year, less than three months apart.

Both were child prodigies who became concert pianists, pedagogues and composers. Oswald’s Piano Concerto dates from about 1886. Although influences of Fauré can be detected, its overall character owes more to the late Romantic German style. Napoleão’s Piano Concerto No.2 is undated but was probably composed around the same time as Oswald’s.

Together they demonstrate that, in the burnished autumnal colors of the Clarinet Sonatas, the composer chose the instrument to bid a melancholy farewell to the world. Cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière joins the duo for the elegiac Clarinet Trio.

From Schubertian reverie to the diabolical energy of Prokofiev by way of the implacable trajectory of the passion of Chopin’s Preludes, her composer of predilection, the youthful Avdeeva deploys a sensational piano technique coupled with a vivid, expressive and poetic palette.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] HAYDN Piano Sonatas Nos.38, 29, 47 & 59

IMPORT For his second Onyx release, pianist Denis Kozhukhin turns to Joseph Haydn. Haydn’s piano sonatas have been unjustly neglected and yet they contain some of his most forward looking music. In the selection here, the worlds of gallant classical style rub shoulders with sturm und drang, and listeners can appreciate the influence Haydn clearly had upon his wayward and headstrong young pupil Beethoven.

DOMESTIC File in: Soundtrack Howe Records presents Howard Shore’s complete scores to the films Crash, Dead Ringers and Naked Lunch all newly remastered and containing material not previously released. The 1996 film Crash is a Canadian-British psychological thriller film written and directed by David Cronenberg based on J. G. Ballard’s 1973 novel of the same name. It tells the story of a group of people who take sexual pleasure from car accidents.

Shore’s music for Crash is among those truly rare times when a film composer and his subject mesh perfectly. The 1988 thriller Dead Ringers starred Jeremy Irons in a dual role as identical twin gynecologists. Cronenberg co-wrote the screenplay with Norman Snider. Naked Lunch is a 1991 science fiction drama film written and directed by Cronenberg and starring Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, and Roy Scheider. It is a film adaptation of William S. Burroughs’s 1959 novel of the same name. Howard Shore again masters the mood with this foray into the seamy underworld of Burroughs.

This radically new version, adapted to suit the group’s current line-up, is more faithful to the spirit of Magma’s music and its uniquely weird and wonderful prog-rock style.
