NEWS & HIGHLIGHTS The charismatic virtuoso Midori takes on one of the pillars of the violin repertoire on her second release for Onyx. Her recording of Bach’s solo Sonatas & Partitas demonstrates not only Midori’s technical mastery but also her rich interpretive insight. Celebrate Independence Day this year with vocal fireworks from Stephen Layton and Polyphony. Their latest Hyperion release features a glorious selection of American choral works by Randall Thompson, Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland.

Better known for focusing on unjustly neglected composers of the Renaissance, the extraordinary choir Cinquecento turns to the music of Orlande de Lassus for their new release on Hyperion. American pianist (and perennial audience favorite) Garrick Ohlsson proves once again that he is the master of the miniature with a new recording for Hyperion of works by Debussy, Bartók and Prokofiev. Prokofiev is also the focus of conductor Kirill Karabits’s third volume in his series of recordings of the composer’s colorful symphonies for Onyx. This month the Alia Vox label launches a new series called Diversa, which will explore neglected early music repertoire. The début release on Diversa features music of the Basque country performed by the Euskal Barrokensemble led by Enrike Solinís. Our top non-classical release marks the return of the legendary African supergroup Les Ambassadeurs. Their World Village EP entitled Rebirth presages a full album due in 2016.

Dana Zemtsov (viola) Cathelijne Noorland (piano) Channel Classics • CCS SA 37215 IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Dana Zemtsov is one of the most promising international viola soloists of her generation. On this new release, she invites listeners to re-explore Romanticism from different perspectives. Be it the lyrical nineteenth-century classical romanticism of Vieuxtemps’s Viola Sonata, the fantastical adventure of Bloch’s Suite ‘1919’ or the drama of Waxman’s Carmen Fantasy, the term ‘Romantic’ has many different definitions. However, most personal is Zemtsov’s inclusion of Melodie im Alten Stil, composed by her grandfather Evgeni Zemtsov.

Written for her grandmother, who was also a violist, it was intended as a declaration of love.

Red Note Ensemble Delphian • DCD 34157

IMPORT Eddie McGuire is one of Scotland’s greatest living composers.

A renaissance man, his compositional voice is informed by a broad wealth of cultural experience and by an unlimited melodic creativity. In this intensely beautiful and unpretentious music, folklike tunes appear naturally, taking their place in a world of invention large enough to contain minimalist gestures, intense romanticism, meditative and sudden drama. Red Note Ensemble brings passion and care to this music – a token of the regard in which McGuire is held by Scottish musicians of all generations.

“The music-making is as rich as ever.”

[PRIORITY RELEASE] LASSUS Missa super Dixit Joseph & motets

hyperion

Cinquecento Hyperion • CDA 68064

IMPORT For seven years now, the six sublime singers of Cinquecento have been championing the lesser-known masters of the Austrian court. On this release, they turn to one of the greats: Lassus. The Missa super Dixit Joseph is based on one of Lassus’s own motets and combines the composer’s characteristic flair for vibrant text-setting with the nascent polychoral style of which he would become an early master. Glorious performances of the Mass and a diverse range of motets comprise a most satisfying album which culminates with the famous Timor et tremor.

“With their multicultural forces they can fit effortlessly into the style of the music...”

TOMÁŠEK Songs

IMPORT Václav Jan Krvtitel Tomášek wrote numerous songs and short piano pieces. His works predate those of his rather more famous near contemporary Franz Schubert by some years but remain mysterious neglected. This enthralling new album from Renata Pokupić and Roger Vignoles unfolds twenty-eight songs of a rare appeal.

SCHOENBERG Gurre-Lieder

IMPORT The Gürzenich-Orchester of Cologne has a pedigree second to none. It can count Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss among those who have entrusted it with premieres of their works, and when you hear this new recording the reasons for this are clear. Devastating brass combines with mellifluous winds and strings in a performance of Schoenberg’s late Romantic masterpiece.

Jean-Claude Pennetier (piano) Mirare • MIR 275

IMPORT “A taste for clarity of thought, sobriety and purity of form, sincerity, [and a] disdain for grandiose effects,” that was how Gabriel Fauré summed up his artistic and spiritual creed. Following the trail blazed

by Chopin, he fearlessly used the boldest strokes of harmony to color his music with a highly individual charm. On this third volume in the series, French pianist Jean-Claude Pennetier continues his survey of Fauré’s solo piano works with Barcarolles Nos.4-6, Nocturnes Nos.6-7, Pièces brèves Op.84 and Thème & Variations Op.73.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Kirill Karabits Onyx Classics • ONYX 4147

IMPORT Kirill Karabits and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra continue their critically acclaimed Prokofiev Symphony cycle.

This eagerly awaited third volume features the original version of the Symphony No.4, probably the composer’s least performed symphony, coupled with Symphony No.5, arguably the most performed. The 4th was commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky to mark the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and is based on material from the ballet The Prodigal Son. The 5th dates from 1944 at the height of the Russian struggle against the Nazi invasion. Prokofiev once again pulls from his previous work as the slow movement draws on music composed in 1936 and intended for Alexander Pushkin’s film The Queen of Spades.

This project aims to be a musical homecoming, a return to his beginnings in the form of pure music free from all external constraints.
