MDG 303 1794 FORMAT 1CD PPD £ 8.98 LABEL MDG BARCODE 760623179421 GENRE Chamber Organist, composer, author, critic, teacher – Charles-Marie Widor was a man of many talents and extremely successful in all of these endeavors throughout his life. His organ works, especially the magnificently virtuosic toccata from the fifth sonata continue to enjoy the greatest popularity. On their latest release the musical discoverers of the Trio Parnassus introduce us to the superb quality of his chamber music, which today is almost entirely forgotten. POULENC Melodies sur des Poems, Eluard et de Vilmorin Holger Falk/Alessandro Zuppardo CAT NO. MDG 603 1776 FORMAT 1CD PPD £ 8.98 LABEL MDG BARCODE 760623177625 GENRE Chamber The friendship between the poet Paul Éluard and the composer Francis Poulenc was more than just an artistic relationship. Éluard wrote to Poulenc, “It was first through your music that I really understood my poems”; and it was first through Éluard that Poulenc learned to express the deepest secrets of his personality. On this splendid new release in their Poulenc series, Holger Falk and Alessandro Zuppardo enable us to experience for ourselves the happy symbiosis formed by these two creative artists. GERSHWIN Rhapsody in Blue - Piano Works Corinna Simon CAT NO. FORMAT PPD LABEL BARCODE GENRE Rysanek/Madeira/Hopf/London/Frick/Wien1955 CAT NO. FORMAT PPD LABEL BARCODE GENRE MDG 604 1795 1CD £ 8.98 MDG 760623179520 Solo Instrumental This is of course a disc of outstanding music, and it is shown in a new light by pianist Corinna Simon. She presents to us as yet entirely unknown treats from Gershwin’s magnificent piano world with selected songs from his papers – performed on the legendary “Manfred Bürki” Steinway of 1901, perhaps even qualifying as a New York Steinway. MCD 023267 2CD £ 6.75 Myto 0608974502676 Opera With a recording of some of the world’s finest voices, this version of Verdi’s Aida is well worth hearing again.

| MARCH 2013 | CODAEX UK | RELEASE DATE 11.03.2013 Heinrich Ernst Erwin Walther (1920–1995) must not only be considered one of the pioneers of graphic scores, as the phenomenon was far more than a passing fad in his case. Correlations between visual art and music had been a central aspect of his work from the start. He had made his first attempts at graphic notation as early as 1938, while still a student of conducting at the Würzburg Conservatory. In 1949, after the war and captivity, he made his debut as a pianist in Nuremberg with improvisations on drawings by Franz Xaver Fuhr. From the mid-1950s on – continuing until his death – Walther produced what he termed “audiograms”. More than 300 of this graphic scores have survived – and, as can be heard on the present CD, they are among the most inspiring examples of the genre. That they have remained virtually unknown is due not least to the character of a composer who scarcely seemed interested in any more than regional renown; one could almost say that he stubbornly obstructed the dissemination of his own works. These two CDs show the music’s stylistic breadth that Walther was a composer who was acutely aware of contemporary idioms, but also that he found, with a certain quirkiness and sense for hidden meanings, a path of his own which did not follow any one aesthetic tendency.
