Closely associated with the folklore of the Balkans, the musical tradition of Slovenia also has a Romantic branch born at the confl uence of the Alps and the Adriatic, between Austria and Italy. Very attached to their origins (their parents are Slovenian), Bernarda and Marcos Fink have selected the most representative songs and duets of a style which, around the turn of the 20th century, combined the poetic rigor of the great European musical centers – the infl uence of the lied is obvious – with the expression of its own identity.

Trauermusik is the most ambitious composition left by Johann Ludwig Bach, known as the “Meiningen Bach,” who belonged to a branch of the family separated from Johann Sebastian’s since the 16th century. Its genesis was rather unusual. Johann Ludwig had composed his cantatas to texts by his patron, Duke Ernst Ludwig, and was therefore commissioned to set the poem that the duke had written for his own funeral, in November 1724. Written fi ve years before the St. Matthew Passion, this score already requires two choirs and a large array of instruments and must have utilized every musician in the court.

Johannes Brahms was just 19 years old in 1852-53 when he wrote the first two piano sonatas he deemed worthy of publication. In these extended four-movement compositions he built on the heritage of Beethoven. The fact that Brahms had produced a pair of masterpieces was immediately recognized by his mentor Robert Schumann, who eased his young colleague’s way into the future with his celebrated article ‘New Paths’ of 1853. Fresh off his huge success with Shostakovich’s Preludes, Alexander Melnikov shows his keen insight into these works by the young Brahms.

After two widely acclaimed Haydn releases, the Jerusalem Quartet now logically turns to an exploration of Mozart and three distinct periods in his creative life. Haydn is not totally absent from this recording, since the central quartet belongs to the glorious group of six which Mozart, now fi rmly established in Vienna, dedicated to his elder in 1785. Twelve years earlier, the teenage composer was still amusing himself with the Sammartinian model in the third of his ‘Milanese’ Quartets. And four years after the ‘Haydn’ set, Mozart abandoned the divertimento style once and for all, presenting in the second of the ‘Prussian’ Quartets a score that radically renewed the practice of chamber music.

The new DVD series from harmonia mundi entitled Leçons particulières de musique (private music lessons) features some of the greatest musicians of our time offering their guidance to music students. The fi lms are edited by François Manceaux & Olivier Bernager and produced in partnership with Arte & France Musique. The fi rst releases in the 12 disc series feature countertenor René Jacobs, harpsichordist Scott Ross, pianist Yvonne Loriod, horn player Hermann Baumann, fl autist Pierre-Yves Artaud and cellist Anner Bylsma.

Vaughan Williams valued the opinions of close friends on his new works, even if he did not always follow the advice given. In the early years, it was to his first wife Adeline as well as to

fellow composers George Butterworth and Gustav Holst that he would turn. Later, the circle of advisers widened, to include Sir Arthur Bliss, Gerald Finzi and Herbert Howells, the conductors Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Adrian Boult and Sir Malcolm Sargent. These lucky few were invited to ‘play-throughs’ of Vaughan Williams’ new works. Such fi rst hearings were arranged for piano, or two pianos. Vaughan Williams sketches for the Sixth Symphony and Michael Mullinar’s two-piano arrangement with various interpolations by the composer can be found in the British Library. Alan Rowlands edited the two-piano arrangement for this recording making use of the fi nal orchestral published version to fi ll in any gaps. Joined here by Adrian Sims, Rowlands helps us hear for the fi rst time what a ‘play-through’ actually sounded like. The program is rounded out with a selection of Ireland transcriptions.

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSDBetween 1975 and 1983, Jordi Savall recorded fi ve albums featuring the most beautiful pieces from each of the fi ve Books of Pieces for the Viol composed by Marin Marais between 1686 and 1725. A silence of nearly 250 years came to an end. A repertoire — and even better, an instrument — returned from oblivion. The memory of a composer had never been so tightly linked to the performing art of a musician. Thirty-fi ve years after the beginning of this history-making enterprise, the fi ve original Astrée albums are now offered with remastered sound that fully rewards the genius of both Marin Marais and Jordi Savall. Luxuriously documented — as always with Alia Vox — this anthology is a must-have for any Baroque music lover.

“No modern artist has done more on behalf of French Baroque composer

Marin Marais than Jordi Savall.”— THE STAR-LEDGER

As harpsichordist, conductor and musical director of the ensemble Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset is one of today’s finest interpreters of Baroque music. His first recording for Aparté, devoted to Louis Couperin, was received most enthusiastically by public and critics alike, and collected many distinctions in the international press. This new disc features a selection of both little-known works and standards by the great J.S. Bach. Rousset plays these pieces on the Ruckers harpsichord of Neuchâtel, one of the fi nest in the world.

APR’s fourth volume of Alfred Cortot completes their survey of post-war recordings that the pianist made for EMI in the UK. These are the fi rst of his recordings on the then-new medium of magnetic tape. Tape gave the artist new freedom, as he was not restricted to the length of a 78rpm side for each take, and Cortot tackled much of his ‘big’ repertoire again. Sadly, by this time his failing health meant that many works remained unissued as they did not meet the standards of his earlier magnifi cent versions, however some old warhorses did stand the test of time.

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSDFor his latest fascinating project, pianist Dejan Lazic once again fi nds new musical connections and explores the composer’s creative process in a new disc of works by Beethoven. Working with the Australian Chamber Orchestra directed by Richard Tognetti, Lazic combines elements of the familiar version of the fourth concerto with a newly discovered chamber version for piano and string quintet. In Beethoven’s time it was customary that the soloist, who was often a composer as well, improvised the cadenzas, so Lazic offers his own versions here. In the liner notes, Lazic explains how Romantic irony, a term coined by poet Friedrich Schlegel, links the two sonatas to the piano concerto.

Cellist Luigi Piovano leads his chamber orchestra Music Aurei in a recording of what is undoubtedly Vivaldi’s most famous composition, The Four Seasons. The soloist in all four concertos is the orchestra’s leader, Grazia Raimondi, and her performance is a blend of period instrument techniques and modern instrument richness.

T h i s p ro d u c t i o n of Katia Kabanova, recorded at Madrid’s Te a t r o R e a l i n De c e m b e r 2 0 0 8 , received universal acclaim from the Spanish critics. Much of the credit goes to the stunning beauty of Robert Carsen’s theatrical production, the magnifi cent direction and a bold and powerfully poetic stage design. All the action takes place on a huge expanse of water, fi lled with the refl ections of extraordinarily graceful images shaped by exquisite lighting. The cast, dominated by the remarkable Finnish soprano Karita Mattila, is the perfect match for Janacek’s masterpiece. The rare talent of conductor Jirí Belohlávek provides a musical direction that brings out every element of the story — all the passion, subtlety, fragility and drama. Mattila’s performance embodies all the intensity needed to portray Katia the dreamer at the beginning of the opera and the tormented Katia at its close.

Originally released on the Decca label, this disc features Maestro Zubin Mehta leading the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in recordings made in the seventies. They stand out for their brightness and orchestral brilliance, with performances reminiscent of Sir Georg Solti’s approach to the music of these immortal Austrian composers.

Newly recorded with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, t h e s e power fu l and in s i gh t fu l interpretations exemplify the superb work of this mature and experienced 70 year old conductor. Strauss’ post-romantic Also sprach Zarathustra is a particular favorite of Maestro Mehta, and this reading stands with the best.

A special chemistry exists between Kur t Masur and th e I s r a e l Philharmonic Orchestra. Maestro Masur holds the lifetime title of Honorary Guest Conductor, and this was a unique opportunity to record Masur and the IPO in concert together. On this disc, the orchestra gives the octogenarian maestro a warm welcome and he responds in kind.

Howard Shelley’s fascinating discs of Spohr symphonies with the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana have reignited interest in a composer who was once the most important in Europe. Spohr’s eighth symphony is one of the composer’s more conservative experiments in the form. The tenth is the composer’s fi nal symphony and remained unpublished — languishing in the former Prussian State Library in Berlin — until 2006. This is the penultimate volume of a series which as a whole is an important historical document of musical taste.

The German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender burst onto the recording scene with a dazzling set of Paganini’s Caprices that thrilled the critics. She appears here in her second disc for Hyperion accompanied by her compatriot, Markus Becker. Erwin Schulhoff was a jazz enthusiast, sometime Dadaist, surrealist and committed communist. However, Schulhoff was a more complex and wide-ranging musician than any neat tags suggest. His music for violin is often outrageously virtuosic and never less than fascinating.

Pianist Danny Driver has garnered overwhelming critical praise — and a Gramophone award nomination — for his previous discs for Hyperion. His authoritative and virtuosic performances of York Bowen and CPE Bach have placed him fi rmly in the ‘one to watch’ category. For his latest disc, he turns to one of the giants of the Russian piano world. This disc looks beyond the ubiquitous Islamey to some of Balakirev’s most important works — which are curiously underrepresented on disc.

Westminster Abbey has been the focus of British royal occasions for centuries, and the early seventeenth century saw the most dazzling musicians of the age writing music for the Court

in all its various incarnations. This fascinating disc presents a selection of works from the reign of King James I. The most celebrated name on this disc is that of Orlando Gibbons, and some of his most masterly works are presented on this CD. The most eloquent and emotionally intense music recorded here was most likely never intended for performance in the Abbey, but has a particularly Royal relevance. The moving laments of King David have no place in the liturgy, being neither part of the Ordinary of Psalms and canticles. Their composition seems therefore to have been a response to the death in November 1612 of the Prince of Wales, Prince Henry. These are courtly laments, in which the composers give voice — and perhaps vied to give voice most eloquently — to the grief of the King.

Hyperion’s Romantic Violin Concerto series reaches its tenth volume, and turns to two composers based in England, and works by them that have lain hidden for decades. This disc provides a fascinating glimpse of musical history and the shifting fashions of the age which made fame such a fl eeting thing for so many composers. Frederic Cliffe had a brief but dazzling career as a composer, but he disappeared as quickly as he had arrived, and his reputation rests on only six works, including his violin concerto. Baron Frédéric d’Erlanger was a banker, born in Paris but with a German father and American mother, who moved to London in his teens. He was also a composer, and although his catalogue of works is not huge, he enjoyed a steady stream of fi rst performances by the most celebrated artists and orchestras of the day. Hyperion is delighted to welcome back Philippe Graffi n, whose earlier outing in this series met with great critical success.

“Philippe Graffin is one of the most gifted and well-rounded players you’ll ever hear.”

T h e C a rd i n a l l ’s Mu s i c k finished 2010 in a blaze of glory, winning the Gramophone Recording of the Year award for the last volume of their

Byrd Edition. Their eagerly-awaited next disc features music from late sixteenth-century Rome and ranges from Allegri’s Miserere, surely the best-known and best-loved work of this period, to a rarely-performed or recorded oddity. Seven Roman musicians came together (or were brought together) to write a Mass-setting where they each contributed different sections. The resulting work, the twelve-voice Missa Cantantibus organis, is a tribute both to Cecilia (the patron saint of music) and to Palestrina. The seven composers each take themes found in Palestrina’s motet of the same name and use them as the starting point for their new compositions. Palestrina himself is among the seven, with Giovanni Andrea Dragoni, Ruggiero Giovannelli, Curzio Mancini, Prospero Santini, Francesco Soriano and Annibale Stabile being the other six. All seven composers were prominent maestri in Rome and most appear to have had contact with Palestrina either as choristers or pupils.

Remarkable as much for its musicological research and scholarly rigor as for Howard’s Herculean piano playing, this survey remains invaluable to serious lovers of Liszt. Every known note of Liszt’s piano music has been recorded and is included here: Leslie Howard’s 57 original volumes plus the further three supplements. The set has been awarded a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest recording series by a solo artist.

Anton Arensky’s piano pieces have an easy charm and lyrical breadth of melodic invention. There is a quality that is both nostalgic and surprising, reassuringly familiar yet unconventional in harmonic and melodic construction. This disc was originally released as part of Stephen Coombs’ Russian Piano Portraits series.

Grechaninov has been described as the most representative composer of his generation writing for the Orthodox service. Grechaninov’s setting of the Vespers, which preceded Rachmaninov’s by three years , was composed, premiered and published in 1912. It appears to have lain dormant for some eighty years until it was revived in America for its fi rst performance of modern times in 1995.

This reissue commemorates the 50th anniversary of Grainger’s death in February 1961. Grainger’s Jungle Book cycle was recorded here (for the original Hyperion release) for the first time. The eleven contrasting movements vividly portray the sentiments of Kipling’s poetry and Grainger wrote of the cycle that it was, “composed as a protest against civilization.”

SACD Hybrid / Stereo & Multi-channel / DSDThe penultimate release in Valery Gergiev’s acclaimed Mahler cycle features the composer’s Symphony No.5, recorded at the Barbican in September 2010. The work marked a new direction in his compositions and a step away from the choral elements of the previous three symphonies. Despite the opening funereal trumpet solo and march, the work was completed during one of the happiest periods of Mahler’s life and the symphony showcases virtuosic orchestral playing, an exquisite love song without words for his wife Alma and a jubilant fi nale.

The cello octet is a formation that is now heard only rarely. Yet it harks back to a tradition which was highly esteemed until the early eighteenth century, the practice of forming ensembles of instruments of the same family. Recorder quartets, lute trios and ensembles of hunting horns were for centuries the delight of amateur musicians, to whom they offered an ideal opportunity to express themselves and exchange with each other.

Along with the Années de pèlerinage, the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses is the most important cycle Liszt composed for the piano. It reveals his mystical dimension, at once poetic and religious, through reference to the universal poetry of Lamartine.

Philip Glass’ opera Kepler in many ways harkens back to Glass’ portrait opera s o f the ea r ly 1980s and continues the composer’s interest in scientists after having also written operas on Einstein and Galileo. The opera premiered at the Landestheater Linz in 2009 and continues the amazing 30 year collaboration between Glass and the conductor Dennis Russell Davies, the music director of both the Landestheater Linz and its orchestra, the Bruckner Orchester. Kepler marks a refreshing return to large scale symphonic writing for the opera house. It is a musical dedication to the life of this great scientist – exploring both his triumphs and his human fl aws. As Glass states, “Kepler was a man with his mind in the clouds and his feet in the mud.” Taken from live performances in 2010 during its extensive run in Linz, this is the world premiere recording. It is sung in German and Latin and contains the full libretto with English translation in the deluxe two disc digipack.

Chance Encounter was co-conceived by world-renowned soprano Susan Narucki and composer Lisa Bielawa, Rome Prize winning composer and long-time member of the Philip Glass Ensemble. The work’s libretto is comprised entirely of utterances that Bielawa overheard over the course of a full year of travel, in transient public spaces around the world. These captured phrases are organized into four song-arias.

Maria Bachmann is heard here in a recital that features the world premiere recording of Philip Glass’ Sonata for Violin and Piano (2008) which was written for her. The recital also includes Schubert’s mighty Sonata in A major, and Ravel’s Sonate posthume. Jon Klibonoff is Bachmann’s accompanist.

Yakov Zak was one of the greatest names in Soviet piano performing and teaching but remained little known abroad. A student of Heinrich Neuhaus, his vast repertoire concentrated on Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin and Brahms. Along with Emil Gilels, Zak was a staunch defender of Prokofi ev. Endowed with Olympian technique and a clear, solid sense of form, he remains a model, a humanist whose current discography is amazingly meager. He died of a heart attack in 1976 shortly after a brutal police interrogation.

Reviews of the 1958 concert from which this recording of Bruckner’s seventh symphony was taken bordered on the ecstatic. The Neue Weltpresse’s review hailed Otto Klemperer as, “one of the last great conductors of the Wilhelmine era,” alongside Strauss, Nikisch, Weingartner, Blech, Kleiber and Furtwängler, and praised his handling of the Bruckner as, “song like, full of streaming lyricism and powerfully shaped climaxes.

The origins of these live 1960 performances lie inevitably in Van Cliburn’s legendary triumph in Moscow’s inaugural Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in 1958, a time when competitions still mattered. All the reasons and justifi cations for his fame are present in this recording, made at the height of his career. Cliburn’s playing had an extraordinary nobility and today’s audiences cannot completely comprehend the extraordinary excitement and controversy he caused in his day. His playing is still endlessly discussed in Russia. Sadly, the strains of endless touring, prolonged stays in foreign and alien surroundings, to say nothing of sniping comments by colleagues envious of his fame, took their toll and Cliburn withdrew from the public eye.

All Zones/ 80 minutesIn Grétry’s L’Amant Jaloux, the aesthetic of France in the Age of Enlightenment is revived in a libretto full of wit and subtlety and a remarkably melodic score

whose dramatic movement recalls Mozart, who was staying in Paris at the time. Grétry, the Queen’s music director, penned a masterpiece of the genre — a model of demi-caractère that balances the registers of comedy and sentiment. The work was included in the repertoire of many European theaters and confi rmed Grétry as the greatest French composer of his time. At the end of his life, le chevalier de Saint George conducted an orchestra named Le Cercle de l’Harmonie. As its director in the former Palais Bourbons-Orléans, today Palais Royal, he performed major works of his time. Reviving this name in 2005 during the Deauville festival, Jérémie Rhorer, conductor and composer, decided to gather their ideal group of players to perform symphonic and lyrical repertoire from the end of the 18th century. Their identity is strongly linked to masterpieces by Mozart’s and Haydn, but they are also captivated by the French repertoire from the end of Ancien Régime (18th century) to 1830.

Wergo presents the fi rst recording of Paul Hindemith’s Plöner Musiktag (The Plön Music Day). This educational work has not been heard as a whole since its world premiere in 1932 by the composer himself. It sets a whole day to music in four parts — Morgenmusik, Tafelmusik, Kantate and Abendkonzert — each written for different levels of diffi culty and with different instrumentation. Hindemith wrote the work for a four-day stay in a boarding school in Plön, Schleswig-Holstein in June 1932. Renowned baritone Dietrich Henschel and musicians of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra are led here by Jobst Liebrecht.

On this new CD from Wergo, composers Robert Schumann and Jörg Widmann take part in a musical dialogue between the modern and the Romantic periods. Pianist Fabio Romano juxtaposes four piano works of the two composers and takes a look at Schumann on his 200th birthday from a somewhat different perspective. Romano was recently hailed by the magazine Fono Forum as “best up-and-coming artist of the year.”

WORLD

File in: World / ArgentinaBe it in her hometown Buenos Aires, in Montevido or San Francisco, the halls are full and the audience and critics wild about Maria Volonte’s performances. Her six CDs have received numerous awards including the Carlos Gardel Prize and she was recently nominated for a Latin GRAMMY®. For this comprehensive sampling of her art, Network has combined musical highpoints from her career with exclusive new recordings. Thanks to recent concert appearances Volonte is fi nally becoming better known in the US and Europe. This disc is the perfect introduction to her rare artistry.

File in: World / SenegalNaby was the 2009 RFI Discovery Award winner in 2009. His melodic reggae with hints of hip-hop and ragga is also tinged with soul, funk and blues. Naby draws inspiration from his everyday environment. His lyrics speak of the daily lives of young Africans and are rich with a keen wisdom and deep spirituality. Born in Dakar to a Guinean father and a Malian mother, Naby grew up listening to a rich musical mix, his formative infl uences ranging from Tracy Chapman to his compatriot Omar Pène. Naby declares that for him music is not simply a passion, but a vocation and one to which he is committed heart and soul.

File in: JazzProduced by Yves Chamberland, accompanied by the best musicians on the scene and joined by prominent guests, Les Six Et Demi’s fi rst album was a huge success in Europe. Ten years later, Frémeaux presents their second album, Toi Ma Vie — a set of hard-swinging tracks that feature sparkling adaptations of jazz standards. The group’s six singers possess an accuracy of timbre that is unmatched, and this CD offers the listener to hear the group at the peak of their art.

ADVANCE REVIEW“ When a jazz record demonstrates so obviously that it can easily reach a wide audience without sacri-ficing inventiveness or swing, it’s a pleasure to be seized at once.” — JAZZMAN

JAZZ

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo/ DSDFile in: JazzNo Room For Squares is one of the more inventive titles in the Blue Note catalog. This is certainly an apt description for a session that includes the very hip Hank Mobley and accompaniment from the swinging Lee Morgan, creative piano master Andrew Hill, sturdy bassist John Ore and the powerful Philly Joe Jones on drums. Mobley’s confi dent tenor wail is in full force here, as he and Morgan blow through the all-original program with strong support from the daring rhythm section.

SACD Hybrid/ Stereo/ DSDFile in: JazzProbably the best in Herbie Hancock’s series of fi ne Blue Note albums from the 60s, Maiden Voyage fi nds him in what is basically the Miles Davis band of the time, with Miles replaced by the young Freddie Hubbard. Hancock has always been a fi ne composer, but Maiden Voyage contains two classic compositions in particular — the beautiful “Dolphin Dance,” and the atmospheric and popular title track. The whole record is marked with a timeless freshness and sense of creative tension.
