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

This program of Neapolitan music, covering a vast historical span,<br />
is a manifesto of <strong>the</strong> musical influences that have nurtured Marco<br />
Beasley. Guido Morini’s arrangements, written especially for him, make<br />
<strong>the</strong> program particularly appealing. For <strong>the</strong> first time, <strong>the</strong> musician<br />
explores crossover paths in <strong>the</strong> broadest sense without being overly<br />
complex. Beasley confirms his nickname as “<strong>the</strong> Baroque crooner” and<br />
opens up original orchestrations, taking part in <strong>the</strong> colossal heritage<br />
that influenced modern Western culture.

approach to this groundbreaking instrumental chamber music, and demonstrate <strong>the</strong> expressive<br />
flexibility and technical fireworks this new repertoire demands from <strong>the</strong>se old instruments.

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

Dmitry Sitkovetsky first wrote his transcriptions for Bach’s Goldberg Variations in 1984, and<br />

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

Christian Bach was presenting his Amadis de Gaule to Paris.<br />

operatic work is shot through from one end to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong><br />
first frissons of <strong>the</strong> awakening Romanticism.<br />

performances on numerous studio and live recordings. Among a great<br />
number of outstanding and talented interpretations of <strong>the</strong>se works,<br />

sound, from powerful symphonicity to a most delicate pianissimo.<br />
These recordings of Tchaikovsky’s piano concertos were made in<br />
1959, when <strong>the</strong> artist achieved genuine artistic maturity and <strong>the</strong> Soviet<br />

Orchestral Works<br />
release date: november 13, 2012<br />
Danel Quartet/Francette Bartholomée: harp/Daniel Blumenthal: piano<br />
DEBUSSY: String Quartet in G minor • Danses (2 versions) • Piano Trio in G<br />
Paying homage to Debussy in 2012 was natural for <strong>the</strong> Brussels-based Danel Quartet, as <strong>the</strong> city<br />
played an important role in <strong>the</strong> composer’s musical development. On <strong>the</strong>se recordings, Francette<br />
Bartholomée is an attentive guardian of <strong>the</strong> magical chromatic harp. This release includes <strong>the</strong><br />
long-ignored youthful Trio, resurrected by Daniel Blumenthal.<br />
Nikita Boriso-Glebsky: violin/Jean-Philippe Collard: piano/Sinfonia Varsovia/Augustin Dumay:<br />

LALO: Symphonie espagnole • Violin Sonata • Arlequin • Guitare<br />
For this sixth volume of Fuga Libera’s collection Chapelle <strong>Music</strong>ale Reine Elisabeth, we find <strong>the</strong><br />
magnificent Sinfonia Varsovia under <strong>the</strong> direction of Augustin Dumay. Prizewinning violinist Nikita<br />
Boriso-Glebsky is one of <strong>the</strong> best talents of his generation. On this recording, he offers a particularly<br />
welcome program, selecting beautiful lesser-known pieces. Jean-Philippe Collard matches <strong>the</strong> young<br />
Russian violinist with sparkling keyboard playing, affirming Lalo’s title as a pioneer of chamber<br />
music in France.<br />
Raphael Wallfisch: cello/Royal Scottish National Orchestra/David Lloyd-Jones: conductor<br />
STANDFORD: First Symphony (The Seasons—An English Year) • Cello Concerto • Prelude to a<br />
Fantasy (The Naiades)<br />
These three orchestral pieces represent a highly productive creative period in Patric Standford’s<br />
life. As a teacher at <strong>the</strong> Guildhall School and regular performer in choral competitions in Hungary,<br />
France, and Estonia during <strong>the</strong> 1970s, Standford has spent <strong>the</strong> last decade revisiting and revising<br />
works written during this frenzied period, represented here on CD!

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

chosen this recording as a highlight of his work, newly mastered and in a<br />
refined sound quality. The Windsbach Boys Choir and <strong>the</strong> Munich Bach<br />
Soloists must be counted among <strong>the</strong> most outstanding interpreters of <strong>the</strong><br />
Christmas Oratorio. The production is accomplished by <strong>the</strong> prominent<br />
participation of soloists Juliane Banse, Cornelia Kallisch, Markus Schäfer,<br />
Robert Swensen, and Thomas Quasthoff. Bach’s oeuvre takes center stage<br />
and comes to beautiful bloom.
