Compact Discs
The Romantic Label Compact Discs 2008 Dear musical friends, Looking back on the catalogue from 2004 I can now see that we have developed the catalogue further with a number of Roman - tics. Some of the composers are nearly completely unknown today. They may merely serve as examples of the absolutely astounding amount of Romantic orchestral music, both unperformed and un - recorded. We are happy to say that this developement has brought us new distributors. The agents somehow do an ungrateful task: everybody expects CDs to be available everywhere, but somebody must import them and distribute them. I wish to thank the distributors for all the hard and enthusastic work they do and my praise also goes to stores and shops, with hardworking staff. We have also seen the developement of download. It is up to the computer industry to provide the public with good quality com - puters so that the music could be heard properly. The future: Again, I wish to thank all Sterling enthusiasts for providing me with a number of interesting ideas for recordings also in the future. Hopefully, we will be able to get the scores and parts necessary. That has not always been an easy and inexpensive task! Artist series: Apart from the Romantics we have developed a special series fo - cusing on gifted and interesting artists. The repertoire on these discs is often more well-known and, the performances are ab - solutely competitive in the CD market! Please as before, on e-mail, do provide me with more ideas and in - teresting projects for the future.

It has been a great adventure to create an eclectic array of programs that remained true to the innovative yet historically conscious ethos of the festival. Throughout musical history the revolutionary spirit of Monteverdi’s music was rarely silent for long; in the 1950s it earned him the epithet “crea - tor of modern music.” This stirred my imagination to forge connections with a kaleidoscopic array of musical genres and styles from jazz, tango and the Beatles to the meditative choral works of Pärt, celebrated masterworks of Schoenberg, ballet music of Stravinsky, and the French lyricism of Debussy! I very much hope you will enjoy the fantastic roster of artists from all over the world who will be reinventing the music of Monteverdi in the magical surroundings of Ulriksdals Palace Theatre, Confidencen. Hugo Ticciati 4 5 PATRON It is a great pleasure to be able to name Staffan Scheja as patron of the festival .
