Violence and Nature in Two Orchestral Works by Alban Berg and Hans Werner Henze – Symphonic Opera for the Concert Hall<br />
Similar to the Fragments from “Wozzeck” from a decade earlier, in Five Symphonic Pieces from the Opera “Lulu” Berg compiled a considerable<br />
amount of music from his second opera, based on Frank Wedekind’s dramas Erdgeist (Earth Spirit) and Die Büchse der Pandora<br />
(Pandora’s Box), and arranged it for orchestra with solo voice. The work’s core, both in musical and numerical terms, is the third movement,<br />
Lied der Lulu (Song of Lulu), in which the title heroine describes herself as a sort of female Don Juan. Nonetheless, a few people around her<br />
– Dr. Schön, Alwa, Schigolch, and Countess Geschwitz – are ruined not by the insatiable sexual appetite of the femme fatale, but rather by<br />
the projection of their own inner fantasies in a restrictive middle-class world: “If men have killed on my behalf, my value is undiminished”,<br />
as Lulu sings. Alban Berg would seem to have agreed, building the musical and dramatic centre of the work from her twelve-tone row.<br />
Permutations to Lulu’s row allow the composer to construct the identifying music for his title character’s various lovers.<br />
The orchestral piece Appassionatamente plus by Hans Werner Henze also owes its existence to an opera: The composer wrote his Das verratene<br />
Meer (The Sea Betrayed), after the novel by Yukio Mishima (Gogo no eiko in Japanese) between 1986 and 1989, revising the score in<br />
2003. The composer had already taken purely instrumental interludes from the original version of the opera, uniting them in 1994 in his<br />
orchestral fantasy Appassionatamente. Parallel with his 2003 revision to the opera itself, Henze wrote an expanded version of its derivative,<br />
now called Appassionatamente plus. As in Alban Berg’s suite from Lulu, which Henze himself has conducted, and as in a kaleidoscope that<br />
has been rearranged, the essential figures and dramatic events from the opera remain present, even in music that is strictly instrumental.<br />
Stefan Soltesz<br />
Was born in Hungary and moved as a child to Vienna. He studied conducting with Hans Swarowsky at the Vienna Academy of <strong>Music</strong>, where<br />
he also had training in composition and piano. His artistic career was launched in 1971, as Kapellmeister at the Theater an der Wien, followed<br />
by engagements as répétiteur and conductor at the Vienna State Opera (1973-1983) and as guest conductor at the Opera House in Graz<br />
(1979-1981). During three editions of the Salzburg Festival, in 1978, 1979 and 1983, he worked as a musical assistant to Karl Böhm, Christoph<br />
von Dohnányi and Herbert von Karajan.<br />
Stefan Soltesz held the position of regular conductor at the Hamburg State Opera (1983-1985) and at the German Opera Berlin (1985-1997).<br />
He served as general music director of the State Theatre of Brunswick from 1988-1993 and as chief conductor of the Flemish Opera in<br />
Antwerp and Ghent from 1992-1997. Since 1997, he has served as the general music director of the Essener Philharmoniker and as director<br />
of the Aalto Theatre.<br />
Stefan Soltesz is a frequent guest conductor at the Vienna State Opera and at the major opera houses of Germany, for instance in Berlin,<br />
Dresden, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, and Stuttgart. He also appears at the Netherlands Opera Amsterdam, the Bilbao Opera, the Opéra de<br />
Paris, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, the Teatro Bellini in Catania, the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Washington and<br />
San Francisco opera houses, the Zürich Opera, and at festivals in Montpellier, Aix-en-Provence and Savonlinna (Finland). Stefan Soltesz has<br />
led broadcast and concert performances in Berlin, Dresden, Genoa, Hanover, Hamburg, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rome, Turin, and Vienna. His<br />
discography includes operas by Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Gazzaniga and Alexander von Zemlinsky, as well as arias and Lieder with Grace<br />
Bumbry, Lucia Popp and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Stefan Soltesz was conferred the honorary title “Citizen of the Ruhr District” in 2009, in<br />
appreciation of his service to the Essen metropolitan area. In 2010, the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia gave him the title Professor<br />
honoris causa.<br />

Description:<br />
Hans Werner Henze: Requiem (Edition Artists in Conversation Vol. 3) - Professional and Private Lives<br />
Program<br />
<strong>Music</strong>: Hans Werner Henze (* 1926): Requiem<br />
Neun geistliche Konzerte for Piano solo, Trumpet concertante and large Chamber Orchestra (1990-92) [67:24 Min.]<br />
(Live recording, June 12, 2010 - Philharmonie Essen, Germany)<br />
Voice Recordings: Mirjam Wiesemann in conversation with Hans Werner Henze in his house in Marino (2010) and with Henze’s<br />
friend and assistant Michael Kerstan [Duration of the conversations ca. 96 minutes]<br />
The Requiem from the early 1990s, a late, evening-length work by Hans Werner Henze, marked a significant turning point for<br />
its composer. The score is dedicated to the memory of Michael Vyner, the one-time director of the London Sinfonietta. Death is,<br />
for Henze, a fact of life. “Paradise is here, or should be here, not hereafter, when nothing happens” is his image of a better world.<br />
That the cycle closes with a hymn to life is thus only logical. The aural wonder of this composition, very much of this world, rests<br />
in its richness of colours and sounds, resembling a magical garden filled with longing and redemption, one apparently not of this<br />
world, at least not for listeners who believe in religious redemption.<br />
In addition to a recording of the Requiem, this set includes nearly hundred minutes of conversations, covering both professional<br />
and private lives, between Mirjam Wiesemann and Hans Werner Henze, as well as Michael Kerstan, recorded at the house of<br />
Hans Werner Henze in Marino, near Rome, in August 2010.<br />

performance of Liszt’s virtuoso ‘Don Giovanni’ Fantasy played by Cherkassky.<br />
Throughout this CD, here is pianism of a consistently high quality, from three<br />
masters of the keyboard from the latter half of the 20th-century. The conductors -<br />
Serge Koussevitsky in the Mozart, and Dmitri Mitropoulos in the Richard Strauss<br />
- were themselves amongst the greatest to hold senior positions with two great<br />
American orchestras, lending artistry to this release which is quite unique.<br />

NBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Arturo Toscanini<br />

AREWELL CONCERTS ONCERTS<br />
This double album constitutes one of the most important issues of Toscanini’s<br />
recorded legacy in that it combines in these two CDs the first ever broadcast<br />
concert the Maestro gave with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, an orchestra<br />
founded expressly for him in 1937 in <strong>New</strong> York, and the last - his final appearance<br />
with the Orchestra in April 1954. A great deal of interest therefore attaches to these<br />
two events, combined for the first time as a commercially issued package - a true<br />
‘hail and farewell’ (Ave Atque Vale) to the art of the conductor whom many<br />
reagard as the greatest of all.<br />
RUDOLF UDOLF GANZ ANZ AS PIANIST IANIST AND<br />
AND CONDUCTOR ONDUCTOR<br />
Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rudolph Ganz<br />
Rudolph Ganz (piano)<br />
Rudolf Ganz (1876-1972) was one of the most remarkable Swiss musicians of the<br />
20th-century, as pianist, teacher and conductor. From his earliest days he knew,<br />
performed and recorded music by the latest composers before World War I, and<br />
when he went to America he was conductor of the <strong>New</strong> York Philharmonic and<br />
Chicago Symphony Orchestras for many years. He continued to give concerts in<br />
his 80s as a pianist, and the range of his achievements is considerable. This new<br />
CD is a magnificent tribute to a great musician, friend of Bartok, Korngold and<br />
Busoni - Ravel dedicated one of his most famous piano works to Ganz - and<br />
conductor who gave the world premieres of music by Copland and Elliott Carter,<br />
among many others. On this CD, we have recordings from piano rolls of 1913, and<br />
a very rare performance of Grieg’s ‘Holberg Suite’ recorded in the USA in the late<br />
1940s. There are rare photographs and the booklet notes are<br />
fascinatingly detailed. A most important record.<br />

THE GOLDEN AGE OF LIGHT MUSIC<br />
Confetti<br />
The word ‘confetti’ describes small pieces of<br />
paper, of various shapes and colours, often<br />
thrown by guests at weddings. In musical<br />
terms it can equally apply to an assortment of<br />
pieces in different styles, conveying a variety<br />
of moods and emotions. In other words,<br />
almost a haphazard collection of tunes with no<br />
particular theme, except perhaps that they are<br />
all a little different. During the compilation of<br />
Guild Light <strong>Music</strong> CDs we sometimes come<br />
across enjoyable pieces of music which<br />
simply don’t fit in with particular projects,<br />
and once more it is time to dust off some<br />
precious discs patiently awaiting rediscovery.<br />
Actually ‘rediscovery’ may not be entirely<br />
accurate as some have never previously been<br />
available commercially and, for most of the<br />
others, this is their first appearance on CD, so<br />
it is unlikely that the majority<br />
of music-lovers will have<br />
heard them before. GLCD 5175<br />
From The Vintage Vaults<br />
The title of this CD could almost apply to<br />
every release in Guild’s “Golden Age of<br />
Light <strong>Music</strong>” series so far, because our<br />
mission is to make available once again those<br />
recordings which have been neglected for far<br />
too long, and are no longer available from<br />
other sources. Famous composers of<br />
symphonies, marches, jazz and just about<br />
everything in-between can be found in this<br />
varied selection, mainly from the inter-war<br />
years, which surely qualifies for the adjective<br />
‘eclectic’. If anyone still needs convincing<br />
that the general term ‘Light <strong>Music</strong>’ covers a<br />
wide variety of styles and performances, then<br />
surely the proof is here on this CD. The<br />
featured composers range from Sir Edward<br />
Elgar and Vaughan Williams, to Ernst<br />
Fischer, Reginald King and John Philip<br />
Sousa.<br />

PIANO MUSIC BY AMY BEACH VOL. 3 - THE MATURE YEARS<br />
KIRSTEN JOHNSON (PIANO)<br />
This third disc of Amy Beach’s complete piano music, performed by<br />
Kirsten Johnson, represents her compositional output from 1907 to 1924.<br />
Amy Beach (American, 1867-1944) is one of the great woman composers of<br />
all time. Including the masterful Prelude and Fugue, op. 81, the concert<br />
piece Fantasia Fugata, op. 87, and many beguiling piano miniatures, this is<br />
a disc not to miss. Farewell Autumn and Dancing Leaves, op. 102, are<br />
world première recordings, as are also Lotus Isles (unpublished<br />
manuscript) and Blackbird Hills, op. 83. These forgotten pieces by this<br />
world-renowned composer are now available for the first time. The piano<br />
talents of Kirsten Johnson bring this music to life with technical brilliance,<br />
sympathetic interpretation and musical depth.<br />

PROSPERO’S ISLE - CHAMBER MUSIC BY JAMES FRANCIS BROWN<br />
TAMÁS ANDRÁS, JACK LIEBECK (VIOLINS), SARAH-JANE BRADLEY (VIOLA),<br />
GEMMA ROSEFIELD (CELLO), NICOLA EIMER, KATYA APEKISHEVA (PIANOS)<br />
James Francis Brown has established a reputation as a composer of exciting,<br />
visionary and emotionally rewarding music. His Piano Quartet has become a<br />
popular addition to the repertoire - as testified by the Birmingham Post<br />
review: “Hushed, close-harmony string passages danced and fizzed, while climaxes<br />
broke with torrential force and gleaming string-tone. The great sweep up to Brown’s<br />
sonorous finish was superbly paced and delivered with breathtaking verve.<br />
Enthusiastic applause greeted what would prove to be the high point of the evening.”<br />
The Shakespeare-inspired Prospero’s Isle, described as ‘lyrically suave’ by<br />
Paul Driver in The Times and a ‘unique voice [with] a grand elegiac quality’ by<br />
The Strad, forms the dramatic centre piece of this CD - qualities which are<br />
equally abundant in the Violin Sonata and the String Trio.<br />
This recording reflects the composer’s close association with some of today’s<br />
most talented and celebrated artists on the international scene - most of<br />
whom presented the premieres of these works: Katya Apekisheva, Gemma<br />
Rosefield, Nicola Eimer, Tamás András, Sarah-Jane<br />
Bradley and Classical Brit Award winner Jack Liebeck, deliver stunning performances in music which<br />
makes many emotional and technical demands. This is a tour de force of contemporary virtuosity and<br />
lyrical intensity. GMCD 7354<br />
THE MUSICAL COLOURS OF THE GUITAR<br />
JENS STIBAL (GUITAR)<br />
Stibal is one of the most admired of the younger generation of guitarists<br />
from Germany, and on this outstanding new recording he presents a varied<br />
programme of masterpieces for the classical guitar, founded upon the<br />
recent Spanish school but including popular works by other composers<br />
who felt compelled to write for the instrument. The result is a magnificent<br />
CD, exceptionally well recorded, of virtuoso and sensitive performances of<br />
familiar and unfamiliar pieces, has each item chosen and guaranteed to<br />
impress the discerning listener. The title of the disc - Colours of the Guitar<br />
- encapsulates the nature of the attractive music which fills this very<br />
desirable record admirably.<br />

In the unusual instrumentation of piano and percussion the pianist Christof Moser from Nenzing in Vorarlberg, together with percussionists<br />
such as Chester Thompson (ex Weather Report, Genesis and Phil Collins), Mario Lackner, Alex Dostal and Bernard<br />
Galane, plays arrangements of selected preludes and overtures by Old Masters over three centuries, characterized by jazz, jungle<br />

‘ingenious’ escaped the pianist Norman Shetler and the expression ‘a duel between the piano and percussion’ emerged.<br />

Thomas Albertus Irnberger<br />
Jörg Demus<br />
Musik aus Wien, der Metropole der Donaumonarchie, war nie so vielfältig und von solch unterschiedlichen Strömungen geprägt<br />
wie zur Zeit der letzten Jahrhundertwende. Diese Einspielung spannt einen Bogen von rumänischen und ungarischen Volkstänzen<br />
Bartóks und Brahms‘ über Walzer von Johann Strauß Sohn sowie Richard Strauss‘ Rosenkavalier-Walzer, ein Lied aus Des<br />
Knaben Wunderhorn von Gustav Mahler und Stücken von Lehár, Goldmark und Janáček bis hin zu Evergreens wie Schön<br />
Rosmarin oder Liebesleid von Fritz Kreisler. Dass dabei die Grenzziehung zwischen ernster Musik, Salon- und Unterhaltungsmusik<br />
noch schwer fällt, macht Thomas Albertus Irnberger mit dieser CD durch sein lebhaftes und stilsicheres Spiel erfahr- bzw. erhörbar.<br />
<strong>Music</strong> from Vienna, the metropolis of the Danube Monarchy, has never been so diverse and characterized by such different currents<br />
than at the time of the turn of the last century. This recording traces an arc from Romanian and Hungarian folk dances by<br />
Bartók and Brahms, via waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr., Richard Strauss’ Rosenkavalier Waltz, a song from Des Knaben<br />
Wunderhorn by Gustav Mahler and pieces by Lehár, Goldmark and Janáček to evergreens such as Schön Rosmarin or Liebesleid<br />
by Fritz Kreisler. On this CD, Thomas Albertus Irnberger’s brisk performance with an assured sense of style demonstrates how difficult<br />
it is to draw the line between serious music, salon music and entertainment music.<br />

Chez cet amoureux de la couleur qu’était Francis Poulenc la prédilection pour les<br />
instruments à vent était naturelle. Ainsi comme toujours, la vie triomphe dans la musique de<br />
Francis Poulenc dont la qualité première est d’être humaine, une musique qui n’appartient à<br />
aucune école, n’obéit à aucun système mais où chacun de nous peut se reconnaître.<br />
For the great fan of colours Francis Poulenc, having a predilection for wind instruments is not<br />
surprising. Hence, as usual, it is life that triumphs in Francis Poulenc’s music. Its first merit<br />
is to be human. It belongs to no school, does not obey the rules of a system, but in which<br />
we can individually see ourselves.<br />

The Complete Chamber <strong>Music</strong> works with winds, demonstrates that Saint-<br />
Saëns is the origin of the wordlwide famous “french winds tradition”. In a<br />
century mostly inspired by german romantic orchestral pieces, Saint-Saëns<br />
considered the wind instruments on the same level as violin and piano. In the<br />
evening of his life, aged eighty-five, Saint-Saëns came back to wind sonatas.<br />
Although being very classical, the three 1921 sonatas announce the “Groupe<br />
des Six” neo-classicism, and particularly Poulenc. In that respect, even at the<br />
very end of his life, Saint-Saëns stands as an innovator.<br />

“frankly, I know of no better performance, on historical<br />

International Record Review<br />
“This series continues to be most impressive. Vermeulen<br />
must be the ideal Schubert player, and the instrument, a<br />
superbly restored Streicher und Sohn of 1826, has an<br />
astonishing range of dynamics form a powerful<br />
fortissimo to an especially beautiful pianissimo, and it<br />
has a wonderful clarity of articulation. “<br />
Early <strong>Music</strong> Review<br />
Vilain XIIII’s six-octave straight-strung Streicher has<br />
an intimate sound, precise articulation and a<br />
transparent bass register and is therefore perfectly<br />
suited to the music of the Viennese early Ro-<br />
mantics Beethoven and Schubert, the latter in<br />
particular. The recording of the complete solo<br />
piano works of Franz Schubert on this first-class<br />
period instrument is a project that originated with<br />
perfect logic from the cycle of concerts devoted to<br />
Schubert’s works that Jan Vermeulen has given for<br />
the Cultural Centre Maasmechelen since 2003 and<br />
from the increasing realisation of the particular<br />
historical qualities of the instrument.<br />

Cellist Roel Dieltiens received his education<br />
in Antwerp and Detmold; he promptly<br />
achieved international appreciation, and<br />
nowadays he is considered to be one of the<br />
main authorities both on modern and on<br />
Baroque cello.<br />
His strong personality, combined with his<br />
overwhelming musicianship and his<br />
unconventional approach have brought him<br />
from the outset of his career to perform in<br />
the most important concert venues<br />
worldwide (Paris, Berlin, London, <strong>New</strong> York,<br />
Moscow, Tokyo).<br />
Roel Dieltiens teaches cello at the<br />

members of Ton Koopman’s Amsterdam Baroque<br />
Choir with the aim of performing Renaissance and<br />
contemporary music from the Low Countries (in the<br />
broadest possible sense). The quartet was named<br />
after Egidius, an elegiac character from one of the<br />

Hartmut Haenchen's musical integrity has<br />
assured him a place in the forefront of<br />
musical life. Brought up in the former East<br />
Germany, he has seen his career reborn in<br />
the new Europe, where his breadth of<br />
experience and depth of understanding<br />
have won respect, while audiences have<br />
warmed to the humanity of his<br />
interpretations. He is particularly renowned<br />
and respected for his interpretations of<br />
Richard Strauss, Wagner and Mahler.<br />
Despite the severe restrictions of the old<br />
East German regime, Hartmut Haenchen<br />
was given special permission to work with<br />
the West’s finest ensembles, including the<br />
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Continual<br />
interference by the authorities, however, led<br />
to severe setbacks in his career and he<br />
subsequently made his home in the<br />
Netherlands, where a new public<br />
recognised his genius, and where<br />
eventually he became <strong>Music</strong> Director of<br />
both the Netherlands Philharmonic and the<br />
Netherlands Opera. In October 2008 he was<br />
awarded the Federal Cross of Merit of the<br />
German Republic, in recognition of his<br />
outstanding contribution to music and the<br />
arts.<br />

and Huddersfield Festival 21.11.10 (a special collaboration with Frederic Rzewski and Howard Skempton).<br />
� Noszferatu formed in 2001. They were originally called Nosferatu but early on faced a legal threat of great ferocity<br />
from a goth rock band of the same name and so added the z.<br />
� The four members of Noszferatu met at Durham University when they were students in the early 1990s. As well as<br />
being heavily involved in the contemporary classical scene they also often collaborate in other musical genres such as<br />
jazz, pop, physical theatre and tango.<br />
� ‘Let op! drempels’ means ‘watch out for the ramp’ in Dutch.<br />
This lively recording by the ‘collective’ Noszferatu represents a cross-section of repertoire by some of the UK’s best<br />
experimental composers. From the haunting minimalism of Howard Skempton’s In Tandem and Andrew Poppy’s How the<br />
Hammer Felt to the jazz-fuelled improvisation of Finn Peters’ The Horses Screamed and Dave Price’s insanely brilliant<br />
Lee’s Game.<br />
This recording will appeal to fans of ensembles such as Kronos Quartet and Alarm Will Sound plus experimental<br />
musicians such as Asa Chang and Polar Bear.<br />

Zuzana Lapčíková / Marija Panna<br />
přečistá/ Purest Virgin Mary<br />
Advent and Christmas songs from<br />
Moravia<br />
Zuzana Lapčíková – voice, cimbaloms; Josef Fečo – double-bass, cimbalom; Rostislav Fraš – saxophone;<br />
Ivan Herák – violin, viola; Ondrej Krajňák – piano; Kamil Slezák – percussion<br />
The Advent and Christmas songs from the workshop of Zuzana Lapčíková reflect perhaps all her musical<br />
positions known to date (as a singer and cimbalom player with a penchant for seeking inspiration in jazz<br />
and across genres). Yet the Christmas high-spiritedness is frequently supplemented by intimate chamber<br />
mood, humility and solemnity. Besides several sprightly “catchy” pieces, she often soberly makes use of<br />
the superlative co-players of her jazz quintet for tranquil duets. Her singing is the golden thread<br />
accompanying us throughout – a singing sharing pure joy, elsewhere humility before the Creator and<br />
evoking the silent tenderness with which the Virgin Mary looks upon the Infant. Few know as much about<br />
Moravian carols as Zuzana Lapčíková does; even fewer are able to retell them with such understanding<br />
and feeling. Christmas joy, however, is the culmination of four weeks of Advent contemplation and<br />
expectation. The Advent songs selected for this recording from Baroque hymn-books wondrously fuse<br />
“artful creation” with the magic poetics of folk, verbally handed-down songs. You will surely become fond<br />
of some of them at first hearing; with others you will discover more and more beautiful details at each<br />
listen – and quite possibly, you will not want to cast the CD aside even after Christmas had come and<br />
gone…<br />

<strong>SUPRAPHON</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Release</strong>s November 2010<br />
Antonín Reichenauer – Concertos (SU 4035-2)<br />
Sergio Azzolini – Baroque bassoon, Xenie Löffler – Baroque oboe, Lenka Torgersen – Baroque violin<br />
Collegium 1704, Artistic Director: Václav Luks (period instruments)<br />
Unlike the copiously preserved sacred music, instrumental works by Czech composers in the Prague of the<br />
first third of the 18th century are as scarce as hen’s teeth. The twenty or so instrumental pieces by<br />
Antonín Reichenauer are among the most significant. Reichenauer was a musician in Count Morzin’s<br />
chapel, in which he assumed the role of in-house composer after Johann Friedrich Fasch. The ensemble’s<br />
superb quality is documented by the Count’s regular contacts with Antonio Vivaldi, whom he engaged as<br />
his “maestro di musica in Italia”. Among other pieces, Vivaldi dedicated to Morzin his Opus 8, containing<br />
the celebrated The Four Seasons. The rarity of Reichenauer’s virtuoso concertos is emphasised by their<br />
being extremely challenging in technical terms, which serves as evidence of the skills of the chapel’s<br />
members – even Vivaldi himself lauded them! Many a contemporary musician would find these concertos<br />
extremely difficult. This, however, is certainly not the case of the “wizard” Sergio Azzolini and the other<br />
soloists featured on this recording. Together with Collegium 1704, an ensemble that gained renown with<br />
albums of Jan Dismas Zelenka’s paramount compositions, they perform Reichenauer’s concertos with a<br />
vivacity and energy this music requires.<br />
Antonín Reichenauer’s Baroque concertos – Vivaldi himself would have been proud.<br />
František Jiránek – Concertos and Sinfonias (SU 4039-2)<br />
Sergio Azzolini – Baroque bassoon, Marina Katarzhnova – violin, Jana Semerádová – flauto traverso<br />
Collegium Marianum, Artistic Director: Jana Semerádová (period instruments)<br />
Ever newer chapters from the history of the bountiful musical life of Baroque Prague are still being<br />
discovered today. Until recently, František Jiránek, a composer and violinist of the Prague-based Count<br />
Morzin’s chapel, had only been known to a select few. Now, for the first time, all lovers of old music are<br />
afforded the opportunity to listen to an exquisite collection of his virtuoso concertos. At first hearing, we<br />
can recognise inspiration by Vivaldi (combined with distinct elements of Czech musicality) – after all,<br />
Jiránek was sent by his employer to study in Venice, where most likely Antonio Vivaldi himself, at the time<br />
Morzin’s “maestro di musica in Italia”, was his teacher. Later on, Jiránek worked in Dresden, where his<br />
further creation was gradually formed by the Galant style and the ascending Classicism. The world<br />
premiere of Jiránek’s virtuoso concertos has been undertaken by superlative soloists headed by the<br />
“wizard” bassoonist Sergio Azzolini. With full engagement, together with Collegium Marianum under the<br />
flautist Jana Semerádová, they have breathed new life into Jiránek, which this rediscovered composer so<br />
richly deserves.<br />
Virtuoso concertos by Antonio Vivaldi’s Czech pupil revived in the 21st century<br />

<strong>SUPRAPHON</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Release</strong>s November 2010<br />
“He was an amazing musician. There can be very few conductors who can manage stylistically the<br />
breadth that he did. But I think my favourite contribution from him was bringing Czech music to the<br />
West.” This is the opera star Renée Fleming’s glowing description of Sir Charles Mackerras, whose long<br />
and incredibly fruitful conducting career and life ended at the age of 84 this July. Indeed, over the past<br />
few decades Czech music has not had a more vigorous advocate and champion in the world, nor a<br />
greater fan and connoisseur. “I am a great fan of Dvořák’s music because it always seemed to me that,<br />
apart from Mozart, Dvořák is the greatest composer... He wrote these symphonies, he wrote tone poems,<br />
he wrote operas, he wrote chamber music, he wrote songs, he wrote religious music, everything... He’s<br />
just the greatest composer, except Mozart perhaps.” Throughout the music world, Mackerras’s name is<br />
synonymous with Czech music itself – Janáček in particular. Sir Charles fatefully encountered Janáček<br />
during the very first days of his studies with Václav Talich in Prague. Subsequently, he introduced Janáček<br />
to the wider world. “Nobody needs me to say that Mozart and Handel are great composers, whereas they<br />
did need somebody to say that Janáček is a great composer too, and that’s what I did. If I have achieved<br />
anything in my life, it is the propagation of Janáček.” Supraphon had the truly great honour of cooperating<br />
with this superlative conductor until the very end. The albums featuring the Czech Philharmonic<br />
Orchestra in particular have captured Mackerras’s vision of a wide scale of works by the four greatest<br />
Czech composers. The list of awards these recordings have received is long... Let us then instead spend<br />
our time listening to his musical legacy on these CDs, which Supraphon with respect and love for Sir<br />
Charles presents to all those who would like to recollect this great man.<br />
Sir Charles Mackerras – the conductor who brought Czech music to the wider world. His<br />
complete non-operatic recordings for Supraphon.<br />

Josef Suk / Asrael<br />
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra,<br />
Sir Charles Mackerras<br />
Josef Suk began writing the funeral symphony Asrael to commemorate his teacher and father-in-law<br />
Antonín Dvořák. During the course of work, however, Fate dealt him another crushing blow: Asrael, the<br />
Angel of Death, took away Suk’s wife and Dvořák’s daughter Otilie. The symphony is a story of a suffering<br />
whose strength seems simply unendurable, yet also a story of its overcoming, seeking solace and hope.<br />
Sir Charles Mackerras’s live recording of Asrael originated on a Good Friday, 6 April 2007, one hundred<br />
years after the symphony’s premiere. The young Australian conductor had first heard about Asrael some<br />
sixty years previously from Suk’s close friend, Václav Talich. In later years, Mackerras confessed that he<br />
perceived the work in a completely different light after his daughter had died. Sir Charles conducted Suk’s<br />
Asrael during one of his last performances with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. It is also his last<br />
previously unreleased recording with this orchestra.<br />

Mstislav Rostropovich<br />
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)<br />
Suites for Cello, BWV 1007-1012, complete<br />
Today, Bach’s suites form part of the repertoire of every distinguished cellist, and many of them have<br />
recorded the complete cycle. Yet when sixty years ago the twenty-four-year-old Mstislav Rostropovich<br />
(1927–2007) first performed all the suites in public, it was a trailblazing act, linking up to the previous<br />
endeavour of Pablo Casals. When this live recording was made in 1955 at the Prague Spring festival,<br />
Rostropovich was 28 years of age. He astounded the audience with his youthful verve and surprising<br />
artistic maturity. At the festival Rostropovich met his lifelong love, Galina Vishnevskaya, whom upon<br />
returning to Moscow he married after several days of acquaintance. When in 1991 the cellist made a<br />
complete recording of the Bach suites in France, he was 64. Hence, all the more precious is this live<br />
recording from the Czech Radio archives, which waited more than half a century for its release. As a lover<br />
and connoisseur of wine, Rostropovich would certainly agree that some wines – and some recordings too<br />
– acquire a richer taste and a higher value over time.<br />

Sviatoslav Richter<br />
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)<br />
Piano Sonatas Nos 7, 12 & 23 “Appassionata“<br />
The Russian Masters archive series brings another gem from Sviatoslav Richter’s abundant Prague legacy.<br />
The recording of the three Beethoven sonatas was made at the Rudolfinum on 1 November 1959 within a<br />
single evening. One year later, Richter included these sonatas in his celebrated debut recitals at Carnegie<br />
Hall. Owing to his legendary aversion to frequently performed works, during his lifetime he would only<br />
play fewer than half of Beethoven’s sonatas on a concert stage. However, Richter did not hesitate to<br />
resurrect even the scarcely performed works and was able to breathe new life into the early sonatas, such<br />
as Op. 10 No. 3 and Op. 26, in which lovely classicist passages mingle with astonishing invention and<br />
energy. Richter’s take on the “Appassionata” is a milestone in the history of interpretational art. He plays<br />
the exposed passages at a seemingly hazardously rapid tempo, without keeping anything in reserve. The<br />
performance is passionate in a ravishing manner, yet not lacking in premeditation and a sense of<br />
structure. Nothing here is just for the sake of effect. Perhaps it would be apt to paraphrase one of<br />
Beethoven’s statements: There are many great pianists, but only one Sviatoslav Richter.<br />
Beethoven performed lightly and rapidly, with passion and premeditation, simply peerless – that’s<br />
Sviatoslav Richter.<br />

Martina Janková – soprano<br />
Gérard Wyss – piano<br />
The gracious young soprano Martina Janková has established a firm position amidst fierce international<br />
competition. Since 1998 she has been an Oper Zürich soloist and has featured in productions by<br />
conductors of such renown as Gardiner, Harnoncourt, Fedoseyev, Herreweghe, Rattle, etc. With Sir John<br />
Eliot Gardiner, she has recorded, among other things, Bach’s cantatas. Yet Martina Janková keeps<br />
returning to the emotionally rich realm of the song.<br />
“Voyage” is not merely a song recital. It is a journey from the child’s wonderment at the colourfulness of<br />
the world through amorous enthralment to self-knowledge and finally (in Dvořák’s Biblical Songs) also to<br />
that which transcends us. A voyage through life in images, where every word and every tone bears a<br />
meaning of its own. In the songs, Martina Janková lets personal stories revive and peers into the<br />
innermost corners of the soul.<br />
Martina Janková’s “Voyage” – a journey into the mysteries of the soul and an invitation to an encounter.<br />

Josef Suk / Dvořák – Violin Concerto, Romance; Suk – Fantasy, Fairy Tale*<br />
Josef Suk – violin, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Václav Neumann<br />
*first ever released<br />
A living legend, Josef Suk is rightly considered the most distinguished representative of the 20th-century<br />
Czech violin school. His peerless, rich and beautiful tone has been captured on countless other albums. In<br />
the year in which Suk celebrated his eightieth birthday Supraphon released his splendid new recording,<br />
featuring some of the chamber works of the artist’s grandfather and great-grandfather, respectively –<br />
Josef Suk and Antonín Dvořák (SU 3976-2). Suk has taken great care to preserve the artistic legacy of his<br />
two celebrated ancestors throughout his life. In a sensitively remastered form, this CD brings the<br />
legendary recordings of Dvořák’s Concerto in A minor and Suk’s Fantasy from the golden era of the soloist<br />
and Neumann’s Czech Philharmonic Orchestra alike. Not even Joseph Joachim, the most famous violinist<br />
among Dvořák’s contemporaries, ventured to perform the concerto. Yet the recording that originated<br />
almost one hundred years later demonstrates that the work ultimately found the most competent hands<br />
and heart it could possibly find.<br />

Every work of art is exposed to the inexorable test of time. In the case of the majority of composers,<br />
precious few works enjoy enduring popularity. Yet in this respect Dvořák is one of the glorious<br />
exceptions. When it comes to his 15 string quartets alone, more than one third of them are still an<br />
integral part of the repertoire of numerous contemporary ensembles. All the mature opuses – starting<br />
with the “Slavonic” Quartet in E flat major (written for the famous Florentine Quartet) through the most<br />
celebrated, the “American”, to the final opuses 106 and 105, whose musical language reflects the<br />
composer’s return home from overseas – have been repeatedly explored and performed. The Panocha<br />
Quartet, whose exceptional qualities have for over four decades been acclaimed by audiences in four<br />
continents, have devoted to Czech quartet creation and Dvořák in particular with great care. This<br />
selection from the complete Dvořák works features the most beautiful quartet opuses and is a must-have<br />
for all fans of this genre.<br />
The “American” quartet and other Dvořák gems – beautiful and seminal.<br />

Jitka Hosprová – viola /Andrea Postacchini 1856/<br />
In the past, the viola was often considered the poor relation to the violin or cello, for which composers<br />
wrote solo pieces, notably Bach with his solo partitas. Only the 20th century, to a certain extent,<br />
redeemed the debt to this splendid instrument. This CD featuring Jitka Hosprová presents the best<br />
compositions written for solo viola in the 20th century in the homeland of Dvořák, Smetana and Janáček.<br />
We would be hard-pressed indeed to find another violist whose repertoire is so dominated by 20th- and<br />
21st-century works. Jitka Hosprová has included on this collection two compositionally significant Czech<br />
works (the dialogical Suite by Ladislav Vycpálek, who studied composition with Vítězslav Novák, and the<br />
Sonata by Josef Suk’s pupil Pavel Bořkovec) alongside pieces by two representatives of the currently older<br />
generation of composers (Jan Klusák, Jaroslav Smolka). Jitka Hosprová’s viola reflects all the colours of<br />
human emotions; it is by turns sad, mysterious and vehemently passionate, velvety and raw. Owing to<br />
this buoyancy, the CD far surpasses the dimensions of a mere music anthology; the compositions sound<br />
like personal statements – and it is easy to fall in love with the exquisite timbre of Jitka Hosprová’s viola.<br />

Ingeborg Wenglor – soprano, Annelies Burmeister – alto, Martin Ritzmann – tenor, Rolf<br />
Kühne – bass, Prague Philharmonic Choir / choir master: Josef Veselka (Symphony No. 9)<br />
Beethoven’s symphonies are among the cornerstones of the symphonic repertoire. They bear witness to<br />
the composer’s remarkable journey from airy Classicism to the peerless idiom he had developed on the<br />
threshold of the Romantic epoch. Those who have taken up the challenge to record the complete cycle<br />
include the Polish-born conductor Paul Kletzki, who gained great renown after the war, primarily in<br />
America. He was the principal conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for a year and<br />
after his debut in Philadelphia went on to conduct the leading American and European orchestras. This<br />
remarkable complete recording of Beethoven’s symphonies was made during Kletzki’s performances with<br />
the Czech Philharmonic in 1967, during the orchestra’s golden age under the chief conductor Karel Ančerl.<br />
This gem of the Supraphon archives thoroughly deserves the current re-edition in remastered form owing<br />
to its freshness and expressive depth.<br />

Beethoven / String Trios<br />
Leonid Kogan – violin, Rudolf Barshai – viola, Mstislav Rostropovich – cello<br />
This CD, the latest title within the acclaimed Russian Masters series, presents three towering Russian<br />
musicians. At a superb 1960 Prague Spring festival concert, Kogan, Barshai and Rostropovich performed<br />
together three of Beethoven’s four string trios. These pieces are seldom played in combination since they<br />
require from the musicians a rare combination of virtuosity and humility, as well as mutual respect<br />
between the chamber players. There is no doubt as to the sheer virtuosity of these musicians; at their<br />
previous concerts at that year’s Prague Spring all three of them had presented themselves as superlative<br />
soloists (at the festival, Rostropovich also performed in Czech premiere Shostakovich’s first cello<br />
concerto). Leonid Kogan – one of the most distinguished representatives of the Russian violin school; the<br />
violist Rudolf Barshai – co-founder of the celebrated Borodin Quartet and later on a renowned conductor;<br />
Mstislav Rostropovich – simply a phenomenal cellist... Three soloists whose encounter on a single stage<br />
was a veritable feast for chamber-music lovers and one of the apices of the Prague Spring. Now, half a<br />
century later, you too can savour this remarkable concert.<br />
Three legends on one stage – a precious encounter you can again enjoy, half a century on!<br />

The Greatest Romantic Violin Concertos<br />
Václav Hudeček – violin<br />
Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra<br />
Prague Symphony Orchestra<br />
Václav Smetáček, Jiří Bělohlávek<br />
Recording locations:<br />
Rudolfinum, Prague, October, 1974 (CD1 / 1–3), July, 1980 (CD1 / 4–6), June, 1976 (CD2 / 4–6)<br />
TJ Praga Studio, Prague, <strong>February</strong>, 1979 (CD2 / 1–3)<br />
Václav Hudeček ranks among the most gifted violinists, not only on a Czech but also an international<br />
scale, to have graced a 20th-century concert stage. Following his debut in London (at the tender age of<br />
15!) with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, he appeared at the most prestigious concert venues<br />
(Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, Osaka Festival Hall, Sydney Opera) with world-renowned orchestras (Berliner<br />
Philharmoniker, Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, NHK Philharmonic Orchestra, Gewandhaus Leipzig, etc.).<br />
David Oistrakh, who immediately recognised Hudeček’s exceptional talent, was his teacher and mentor,<br />
and on several albums accompanied him as a conductor too. Hudeček made the recordings of the four<br />
greatest Romantic violin concertos for Supraphon (between the ages of 22 and 28) with Jiří Bělohlávek<br />
and Václav Smetáček. They bear witness to the remarkable musicality and technical skill of the Czech<br />
representative of the Russian violin school and many years later have lost none of their power and should<br />
occupy a place in the collections of all lovers of the violin’s passionate tone.<br />
The four most beautiful Romantic concertos rendered in the rich timbres of Václav Hudeček’s violin.<br />
