Released Fall ’99 FEATURED CLASSICAL TITLES NEW RELEASES • JUNE 2000 8.554509 – SRP: $6.99 Arnold Bax (1883-1953) Symphony No.5 Symphony No.5 (Dedicated to Jean Sibelius) The Tale the Pine-Trees Knew (Dedicated to John Barbirolli) Royal Scottish National Orchestra / David Lloyd-Jones Playing Time: 57:51 The young Arnold Bax was seen as the natural successor to Edward Elgar, a responsibility that he did not welcome as it placed on him a burden of public expectation. He did enjoy considerable success with a series of symphonic poems, The Tale the Pine Trees Knew being a fine example of this atmospheric and colourful group of works. Yet it was his seven symphonies that were to create an international reputation for him. The Symphony No.5, completed in 1932, was dedicated to Sibelius and inhabits the same musical world as the great Finnish composer. The jagged rhythms, massive brass outbursts, and a sombre central movement, create an imposing score, an unexpected mood of optimism bringing the work to a close. Naxos repeats its success with Korngold’s Die tote Stadt by adding the only complete recording of this important 20th century German opera to its repertory. Premiered one year after Der Rosenkavalier, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound) concerns a young composer in search of his musical identity. It is rich in mysterious motifs and beautiful orchestral interludes. Fanfare says of this recording, "Der ferne Klang represents Schreker at his shimmering best, this fine recording opens a long-closed door to reveal a brilliant opera." 8.554791 – SRP: $6.99 Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) English Choral Music - Rejoice in the Lamb – Te Deum in C – Jubilate Deo – Antiphon – A Hymn to the Virgin – Festival Te Deum – Missa Brevis in D – Hymn to St. Peter – A Hymn of Saint Columba – Prelude and Fugue on a theme of Vittoria – Hymn to St. Cecilia Choir of St. John’s College, Cambridge/Christopher Robinson Playing Time: 73:48 2 TOLL FREE FAX: 888-771-9520 • TELEPHONE: 615-771-9393 6 36943 45092 5 8.660074-75 – 2 CDs – SRP: $17.99 Franz Schreker (1878-1934) Der ferne Klang (Opera in three acts) Grete Graumann – Elena Griorescu / Fritz – Thomas Harper / Dr. Vigelius – Andreas Haller / A 7 30099 60742 1 Ham Actor – Horst Fiehl / Old Graumann – Rudiger Bunse / Old Graumann’s Wife – Erica Pilari / The Landlord – Paul Friess / A Woman’s Voice – Marisa Altmann-Althausen / The Count – Werner Hahn / The Baron – Peter Nikolaus Kante / The Chevalier – Reinhard Leisenheimer Hagen Opera Chorus / Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra Michael Halász Playing Time: 132:28 6 36943 47912 4 Benjamin Britten’s compositional output was vast, covering every form of music from operas and ballets to simple voice settings of folksongs. He was also a highly respected conductor, solo pianist, accompanist, and an eager participant in many chamber groups. His large catalogue of choral works spans the whole of his compositional career, much of his music in this genre employing sacred texts that were derived from contemporary poets. They inspired Britten to fashion some of his most radiant scores, his unique use of boys’ voices providing such a distinctive and exciting tonal quality that it has come to characterize British church music of the twentieth century.

The first rhythm a baby hears is the gentle, steady beat of its mother's heart...the first melody is that of her comforting voice. Now, Naxos has compiled over an hour of the world's most beloved and beautiful lullabies, including Brahms’ Lullaby and Mozart’s Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star for you and your baby to share together. The "Lullaby," or "Cradle Song," is a quiet composition found in the folk music of all countries for the past many centuries. It simulates a rocking motion by using a gentle, cyclical accompaniment pattern over which a beautiful melody is sung or played. Indeed lullabies were the first songs Anna Maria Mozart and Lea Salomon Mendelssohn sang to their sons Wolfgang and Felix. Parental love has always been expressed during the gentle, watchful moments when a mother or father comforts their infant to sleep. We invite you to join the parents of centuries past, as you share this beautiful music with your new baby. –Karen L.
