But Stölzel has his own voice, which speaks to us across the centuries through Rémy and his superb ensemble, imploring us to listen." –Joel Flegler, Fanfare Stölzel composed a series of ten cantatas for the feast days from Christmas to Epiphany, a sort of fictive Christmas Oratorio analogous to Bach’s famous cantata collection. Stölzel’s cantatas, however, do not merely concern the Christmas story, but comment and reflect on it in magnificently crafted compilations of biblical passages, free madrigal poetry and chorales. As in his Brockes Passion, it becomes abundantly clear that Stölzel was indeed an independent-minded and highly original composer. Our recording features the premiere of Cantatas Nos. 1-5 for the First to Third Days of Christmas. A true Christmas celebration for all oratorio fans, treasure hunters, and pleasure seekers. 999581-2 – SRP: $16.99 FULL PRICE RELEASE Felix Draeseke (1835-1913) Symphony No.3, op.40 in C (Symphonia tragica) – Funeral March, op.79 in E minor 7 61203 95812 2 Radio-Philharmonie Hannover des NDR / Jörg-Peter Weigle • Playing Time: 54:58 This CD premiere of Felix Draeseke’s principal symphonic work, the Symphonia tragica marks an important milestone in music history. Draeseke’s third symphony celebrated its sensational concert premiere in Dresden in 1888 and a whole century of discographic documentation had to go by before one of the once most successful and certainly most powerful accomplishments of the German symphonic literature could be made available to the world. During the 1920s the Symphonia tragica was still regarded by many as one of the most important symphonies of all time, and prominent conductors enlisted themselves in its cause. It is astonishing indeed how Draeseke was able to forge to his own unique stylistic path between the giants Brahms and Bruckner. 999583-2 – SRP: $11.99 MID-PRICE RELEASE Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812) Piano Trios Sonata Op.20, No.3 in F major – Sonata Op.24, No.3 in B flat major – Three Sonatas with Scotch & German Airs for the Piano Forte.

In Paris and London, he maintained close ties to the aristocracy and was very successful and popular as a pianist, piano teacher, and composer. Dussek was interested in the further development of the pianos of his time and was responsible for the extension of the keyboard to a full 6 octaves. These Piano Trios and three Sonatas, all from his London period, captivate with their catchy lightness and elegance, employing Scottish and Irish melodies. This performance on authentic instruments is an invitation to dance! Sigfrid Karg-Elert certainly numbers among the most original musical personalities of the first half of the twentieth century. He defies stylistic classification. His choice of the much-maligned harmonium as his principal instrument already marks him as a nonconformist. Karg-Elert’s 33 Portraits, op. 101 for harmonium form a one-of-a-kind musical gallery taking us through the centuries. This unique anthology of stylistic copies is no laughing matter but a serious work that has nothing at all in common with run-of-the-mill "Variations on...in the Style of...." You will smile with delight at chameleon Sigfrid’s stupendous change-artistry. 7 61203 96442 0 Niels W. Gade, known as "Father of Danish Music," developed an early passion for the violin. After intensive private lessons he made his first public appearance at the age of sixteen and soon embarked on a compositional career, writing successful symphonies as well as many pieces for the violin. His three Violin Sonatas illustrate his development as a composer from his early first Sonata op. 6 dedicated to Clara Schumann to his second, most successful Sonata op. 21 bearing his personal romantic signature. It was not for another thirty-six years that he wrote his late third Sonata op. 59, a work of a brooding melancholy sometimes reminiscent of Brahms. 7 61203 97002 5 Praeludium et Fuga in C BWV 545 – Chorale preludes BWV 720, 721, 727, 741 & 735 – Praeludium et Fuga in D BWV 532 – Partita diverse sopra il Corale Sai gegrüsset, Jesu gütig BWV 768 – Praeludium et Fuga in e BWV 548 Gerhard Weinberger, Organ • Playing Time: 77:26 The origins of The former Grauhof Augustinian Monastery can be traced back to the Middle Ages. The monastery church built in 1711 was one of the most important baroque architectural complexes in Lower Saxony, and the construction of a magnificent organ by the organ builder Christoph Treutmann during 1734-37 brought the church to its artistic completion. The gravity of this organ’s sound character, its rich color palette of foundation stops, and its numerous reed stops combine to produce an overall sound that seems to be virtually ideal for the interpretation of Bach’s organ music. 999748-2 – SRP: $26.99 BUDGET PRICE Ture Rangström (1884-1947) Complete Symphonies CD 1: Symphony No.1 – Dityramb & Várhymn • CD 2: Symphony No.2 – Intermezzo dramatica • CD 3: Symphony No.3 – Symphony No.4 Norrköping Symphony Orchestra / Michail Jurowski • Playing Time: 170:34 Sweden’s Ture Rangstroem was a natural talent, an elemental tonal force, and so is his mighty, hymnic, and original music. He had a fine sense for new ideas and created al fresco paintings in a block technique in which elegiac tones are sometimes colored by loud orchestral effects. This music is overwhelming in the truest sense of the word. 8 TOLL FREE FAX: 888-771-9520 • TELEPHONE: 615-771-9393 7 61203 96312 6 7 61203 97482 5

In addition to his playing, Lew is also involved as an arranger and contractor on this illustrious show. Lew is intricately entwined in the music world in various mediums but his first love is jazz…that is what he plays at every possible moment. The first-rate playing and band he's put together (Steve Turre, Randy Brecker, Ron Feuer, Victor Lewis and others) for this tribute to his wife proves he's still the man. 7 47313 60532 3 "In [Ross’s] pieces he achieves a sense of organic development, which yet includes many surprising twists and turns and always projects emotion eloquent of the human condition." –BBC Music Magazine 7 47313 60602 3 This progressive trio recording with German leader/pianist Friedrich, bassist John Hebert and drummer Tony Moreno, should impress with its ECM-influenced sound and playing.

FAMOUS PEOPLE IN HISTORY II By Nicolas Soames · Read by Daniel Philpott, Laura Brattan & Garrick Hagon is the story of the blighted marriage of Dorothea, a young idealistic woman, and Lyd Gate, who is betrayed by his wife’s egoism.
