“Bebbington’s playing is a model of lucidity and responsiveness that
underlines the expressive depths of Bliss’ music … this is a notable start to
another important series.” — International Record Review
“Very well played and vividly recorded in Symphony Hall, the disc offers a
vivid portrait of one of the most important British composers of the period.”
— Gramophone
The first of two volumes of the first-ever complete recording of Sir Arthur
Bliss’ solo piano music, this release includes world premiere recordings of

“You must hear the recording, but be warned: you may never want to hear
another pianist play Op. 118.” — International Record Review
Leon McCawley, prizewinner at the Leeds International Piano Competition,
has a special affinity with Brahms’ piano music and the Handel Variations.
His thoughts on the music bear the hallmark of a mature artist who has
the means and talent to express them. At the heart of the album is the
magnificently structured Variations and Fugue, full of vivid and exciting
contrasts, exuding joy and majesty.

“Erich Kleiber leads the chorus and orchestra of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in a vigorous reading of the score … Callas gives a lustrous
performance, absolutely secure, radiantly lyrical, and deeply expressive. Boris Christoff’s Procida is complex, dark, and furiously forceful.
Giorgio Kokolios Bardi is little known, but he is an Arrigo with real presence, and his singing is lyrical and heroic. Enzo Mascherini
brings warmth and dramatic energy to the troubled Monforte. The ensembles that bring the four together at the end of the fourth
and fifth acts … are vocally and dramatically thrilling. The extraordinary singing will motivate fans of larger-than-life, old-fashioned
operatic performances.” — All Music Guide

Neapolitan music from the Renaissance to the 20 th century, featuring
works by Morini, Falconieri, Willaert, Latilla, Valente, Lama, Cioffi,
Daniele, and more
This program of Neapolitan music, covering a vast historical span,
is a manifesto of the musical influences that have nurtured Marco
Beasley. Guido Morini’s arrangements, written especially for him, make
the program particularly appealing. For the first time, the musician
explores crossover paths in the broadest sense without being overly
complex. Beasley confirms his nickname as “the Baroque crooner” and
opens up original orchestrations, taking part in the colossal heritage
that influenced modern Western culture.

Haydn’s regard for Gregor Werner was so high that he worked in the

is internationally known as a dazzling violinist with impeccable
intonation. Playing on period instruments, Ars Antiqua Austria have
a profound knowledge of their Austrian musical heritage, especially

J.S. BACH: Sonatas (6) for harpsichord & violin, BWV 1014–1019
By departing in virtually every respect from the conventional model of the
baroque trio sonata, Bach’s six sonatas for harpsichord and violin let both
instruments participate equally in the unfolding of the thematic-motivic
material. They establish a genuine dialogue between the two performers,
and actually pave the way for the classic duo sonata. The dialogue between
these two musicians is equal and enchanting, and the intimate nature of this
recording draws the listener in immediately.

The Art of Transcription
Dmitry Sitkovetsky: violin/Yuri Zhislin: viola/Luigi Piovano: cello
J.S. BACH (arr. Sitkovetsky): Goldberg Variations • 15 Sinfonias
Dmitry Sitkovetsky first wrote his transcriptions for Bach’s Goldberg Variations in 1984, and
revisited them in 2009 for this beautiful recording. He injects a fresh, youthful energy to propel
these pieces from beginning to end. J.S. Bach himself said that the spirit of the piece is meant
“for the enjoyment of music lovers,” and this recording is a perfect example.

Millenarium has recorded several discs for Ricercar devoted to the secular
monadic repertoire of the Middle Ages. They are brought together here for a
complete view of a time when the only religious music was Gregorian chant.
The recording includes songs for troubadours and trouvères, tender and bawdy
pieces from the famous Carmina Burana manuscript, and the reconstruction
of the Messe des joueurs. The Danza is devoted to the little-known repertoire
of mediaeval dance music and instrumental pieces that provoke an irresistible
urge to dance!

“Berger is a gem of a singer.” — Los Angeles Times
For his solo debut on disc, William Berger has devised an ingenious sequence
of 17 songs describing a sleepless night experienced by a man who reflects on
his love for an unnamed woman. From Viennese classicism to Romanticism,
from shadowy English pastorals to the contemporary worlds of Richard
Rodney Bennett and Raymond Yiu, this wide-ranging program is brought to
nuanced life by the outstanding young baritone while the indefatigable Iain
Burnside provides lucid and imaginative accompaniment. Together, their
performances vividly capture the full gamut of nocturnal emotions.

J.C. BACH: Amadis de Gaule (complete opera)
In the midst of the artistic debate between the German and
Italian styles, as the Age of Enlightenment was lighting its final
fires during the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Johann
Christian Bach was presenting his Amadis de Gaule to Paris.
Reduced and revised from a libretto of Quinault for Lully, this
operatic work is shot through from one end to the other with the
first frissons of the awakening Romanticism.

TCHAIKOVSKY: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 •
RACHMANINOV: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18
This disc features some of the brightest moments of Sviatoslav Richter’s
performances on numerous studio and live recordings. Among a great
number of outstanding and talented interpretations of these works,
Richter’s style is unmistakable for its embossed, sculptural modeling
of musical images. He showcases a multitude of subtle shades of piano
sound, from powerful symphonicity to a most delicate pianissimo.
These recordings of Tchaikovsky’s piano concertos were made in
1959, when the artist achieved genuine artistic maturity and the Soviet
performing arts saw a new heyday.

BEETHOVEN: Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61 • SIBELIUS: Violin Concerto

Gidon Kremer is a violinist without whom the history of music in the
20 th century would be unimaginable. This album presents a little-known
early period of Kremer’s performing career, recorded in the first half of
the 1970s. Romantic virtuosity prevails in his interpretation, accompanied
by conductor Woldemar Nelson and outstanding St. Petersburg maestro
Yuri Temirkanov.

a famous recording of the Piano Concerto No. 3 with the London
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Piero Coppola.

Melodiya presents Tchaikovsky’s concert music for stringed instruments
performed by the luminaries of the domestic performing school of
the 20 th century: Mstislav Rostropovich and David Oistrakh. This
recording stands out for its bright virtuosity and brilliant technique,
combined with the young musicians’ fiery tempers. Their collaboration
is remarkable for its magnificent coordination, genuine mutual
understanding between soloist and orchestra, and its unity of virtuosic
and symphonic elements.

Paying homage to Debussy in 2012 was natural for the Brussels-based Danel Quartet, as the city
played an important role in the composer’s musical development. On these recordings, Francette
Bartholomée is an attentive guardian of the magical chromatic harp. This release includes the

LALO: Symphonie espagnole • Violin Sonata • Arlequin • Guitare
For this sixth volume of Fuga Libera’s collection Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth, we find the
magnificent Sinfonia Varsovia under the direction of Augustin Dumay. Prizewinning violinist Nikita
Boriso-Glebsky is one of the best talents of his generation. On this recording, he offers a particularly
welcome program, selecting beautiful lesser-known pieces. Jean-Philippe Collard matches the young
Russian violinist with sparkling keyboard playing, affirming Lalo’s title as a pioneer of chamber
music in France.
Raphael Wallfisch: cello/Royal Scottish National Orchestra/David Lloyd-Jones: conductor
STANDFORD: First Symphony (The Seasons—An English Year) • Cello Concerto • Prelude to a

These three orchestral pieces represent a highly productive creative period in Patric Standford’s

France, and Estonia during the 1970s, Standford has spent the last decade revisiting and revising
works written during this frenzied period, represented here on CD!

After Volume 1 won the International Classical Music Award for Early Music,
Volume 2 of The Sixteen’s new series devoted to Palestrina is based around
his glorious antiphon for Christmas Day, Hodie Christus natus est. Palestrina’s
legacy and impact on sacred music worldwide is second to none; he was
a master craftsman whose music composers of all ages have attempted to
emulate. He shapes his music in a beautifully sonorous way using a lot of
suspensions but always coming back into the line of the music.

Soloists must be counted among the most outstanding interpreters of the
Christmas Oratorio. The production is accomplished by the prominent
participation of soloists Juliane Banse, Cornelia Kallisch, Markus Schäfer,
Robert Swensen, and Thomas Quasthoff. Bach’s oeuvre takes center stage
and comes to beautiful bloom.

The feast of the Nativity held a special place in the hearts and lives of Italian
nuns. This recording presents works composed by and for these women,
which might have been heard or performed at Christmastime, and they call
for a great variety of forces, from solo voices to double choirs of both singers
and instruments. The composers represented include the Ursulines Maria
Xaveria Perucona and Isabella Leonarda, author of 20 collections of vocal
and instrumental music; Chiara Margarita Cozzolani and her conventual
sister Rosa Giacinta Badalla, from the renowned Milanese convent of Santa
Radegonda; and Caterina Assandra, composer and dedicatee of various
collections. The CD also features works by eminent male composers, dedicated
to these remarkable cloistered musicians.
