Comments for CDs on Klassic Haus website - 1st Series 2012 KHCD-2012-001 (STEREO) - Telemann: Ouverture in D for Trumpet, Oboe, Strings and Continuo (1733) - Maurice André, trumpet; Pierre Pierlot, oboe; Jean-Pierre Wallez & Nicole Laroque, violins; Annette Queille, viola; Henri Martinerie, 'cello; Laurence Boulay, harpsichord; Vivaldi: Concerto for 2 Horns, Strings and Continuo, RV. 539 (P. 321); Concerto in F for 2 Horns, Strings and Continuo, RV 538 (P. 320) - Georges Barboteu, Gilbert Coursier, horns; Henri Martinerie, 'cello; Laurence Boulay, harpsichord - Collegium Musicum of Paris - Roland Douatte, conductor - The three works on this CD have in common the splendid sound of 18th century Baroque brass; a trumpet in the Telemann Ouverture, and two valveless French horns in the Vivaldi concerti. Transcribed from a near-mint Nonesuch disc, it is a wonderfully satisfying foray into the soundscape of Baroque brass. KHCD-2012-002 (MONO) - Respighi: Pines of Rome (1923-24); Fountains of Rome (1916); Tchaikovsky : "1812" Overture, Op 49 (original scoring) - Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra/Antal Dorati - Magnificent mono recordings from 1953/1954, still hard to beat in terms of sheer visceral sound and never-to-be repeated performances. The unique sound of the Minneapolis Symphony under Antal Dorati exposed many a budding music enthusiast to the world of classical repertoire, not soon to be forgotten. Derived from two mint Mercury LPs with FR matrices, these continue to be benchmark recordings. KHCD-2012-003 (MONO) - Berlioz: Les francs-juges, Overture, Op. 3; Intrata di Rob Roy MacGregor ; Béatrice et Bénédict Overture ; Le roi Lear Overture, Op. 4 - Philharmonic Promenade Orchestra of London/Sir Adrian Boult; Symphonie Funèbre et Triomphale, Op. 15 (H 80) - Wiener Kammerchor/Vienna State Opera Orchestra/Ernest Graf - One doesn't usually associated Sir Adrian Boult as a Berlioz conductor, but these performances of four Berlioz overtures soon dispel that notion. Taped originally by Nixa, licensed to Westminster, these are exciting performances, very well recorded. The rarely performed Symphonie Funèbre et Comments for CDs on Klassic Haus website - 1st Series 2012 Triomphale was the result of a commission by the French government to Berlioz in 1840, to write a piece in celebration of the Revolution of July 1830, to accompany the transfer of remains of fifty victims of the Revolution to the Place de la Bastille. This performance, decidedly Teutonic in approach regarding tempi and demeanor, nevertheless is a spectacular rendition in good mono sound. This transcribed Urania recording uses the second version of the score, modified by Berlioz for a separate concert held in August 1840 which utilizes strings (in a subtle manner) as well as the original large wind band scoring, with a chorus singing words written by Antoni Deschamps in the final movement. KHCD-2012-004 (1958 & 1976 STEREO) - Berlioz: Symphonie Funèbre et Triomphale, Op. 15 (H 80, 1st and 2nd versions)) - Recordings from 1958 & 1976 by Musique des Gardiens de la Paix de Paris/Chorale Populaire de Paris (in the 1958 recording)/Désiré Dondeyne, conductor (First time release together on CD) - Historic, idiomatic performances of Berlioz's wind band symphony, in recordings considered definitive by many wind band enthusiasts. Recorded both times (1958 &1976) in the spacious acoustic of l'énglise Notre-Dame du Liban á Paris, the Musique des Gardiens de la Paix de Paris offer a unique timbre so well suited to the ceremonial and celebratory atmosphere this music demands. Both the 1st and second versions are offered on this disc; the MP3 sample offers a taste of the last movement with and without chorus. A must-have CD for any wind ensemble recording collector. KHCD-2012-005 (STEREO) - Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in c minor, Op. 67; Symphony No. 8 in F, Op. 93 - Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy - Ormandy's recordings were mostly ignored during the rush to reissue recordings onto CD during the late 80s/early 90s. Two Columbia/Sony CD sets were briefly available, but soon pulled from the catalogue. This LP transfer offers a more authentic "vinyl" experience (minus the clicks!), much warmer in soundstage than the clinical 90s digital remasterings. The Philadelphia Orchestra is unmatched in sonority these "big band" Beethoven performances, worthy mates to other recordings utilizing large orchestras. KHCD-2012-006 (STEREO) - Franz Berwald: Symphony capricieuse (Symphony No. 2 in D) - Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra /Antal Dorati - Hugo Alfvén: Symphony No. 2 in D, Op. 11- Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra/Leif Segerstam - Berwald was a Swedish Romantic composer who was generally ignored during his lifetime. He made his living as an orthopedic surgeon and later as the manager of a saw mill and glass factory. His music is inventive, sometimes playful, occasionally quirky, always enjoyable. The Symphony No. 2 was not premiered until 1914. Alfvén's Symphony No. 2 from 1899 established him as a serious composer of note in Sweden. The Berwald is derived from a European pressing RCA Victrola LP; the Alfvén is from a Swedish Society Discophil disc, both in near-mint condition. Comments for CDs on Klassic Haus website - 1st Series 2012 KHCD-2012-007 (STEREO) - Bruckner; Symphony No. 0 in d minor "Die Nullte" - Hortense von Gelmini/Nürnberger Symphoniker; Mass in C - Ingeborg Russ, alto; Shozo Aida & Otto Rohrmeier, horns; Wolfgang Riedelbauch, organ - Outstanding performance of the "Zero" Symphony by female conductor Hortense von Gelmini and the Nürnberger Symphoniker. According to timings, this performance looks to be one of the most fleet interpretations recorded; upon listening, the tempi are very well gauged, and never rushed. The last movement is especially fine; the introductory Moderato leading to the Allegro vivace is among the best readings I have heard. The Mass in C is a companion to the Psalm 146 recording first introduced on CD by Klassic Haus (see KHCD-2011-092), issued here also for the first time on CD. Both recordings are transcribed from mint Colosseum LPs, recorded in the 1970s. KHCD-2012-008 (STEREO) - Bruckner: Complete Organ Works; Mendelssohn: 3 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 37 - Heinz Lohmann on the Klais Organ of the Jesuitenkirche, Mannheim - Authoritative readings of the Bruckner organ works, dating primarily from his early compositional study days (1837-1846, 1852-1861) and one Prelude from 1884. The three Mendelssohn Preludes and Fugues from 1837 are also expertly presented, in a very reverberant recording from an RBM LP. A complete listing of the organ's disposition is listed on the CD inside cover. KHCD-2012-009-2CD (STEREO) - Bruckner: Symphony in f minor (1863); Symphony No. 0 in d minor "Die Nullte" (1869) - USSR Ministry of Culture Symphony Orchestra/Gennady Rozhdestvensky - Bruckner recordings from Russia, from the second cycle recorded by Rozhdestventsky and the USSR Symphony. A very ruminative approach is taken for both symphonies, an interesting interpretational vision that ultimately works on the whole. The acoustic is lush, a bit distant, with some subtle highlighting, typical of late analog recordings from Melodiya. Transcribed from two seldom-played Le Chant Du Monde LPs. Comments for CDs on Klassic Haus website - 1st Series 2012 KHCD-2012-010 (STEREO) - Palestrina:Missa de Beata Vergine; 3 Motets: Tu es Petrus - Lauda Sion Salvatorem - O magnum mysterium - Spandauer Kantorei - Martin Behrmann, conductor - Palestrina was one of the greatest masters of liturgical music, the composer who carried communal religious music to its greatest refinement. Never an innovator, his music was rather the culmination of a long line of Medieval liturgical music. The Missa de Beata Vergine is an example of a paraphrase Mass, using as its basis an elaborated version of cantus firmus. The motet Tu es Petrus come from a second book of motets published in 1572. Lauda Sion Salvatorem is based on sequence texts of Corpus Christi retained by the liturgy. O magnum mysterium is a reponsory for the feast of Nativity. Superlatively serene music, performed beautifully by the Spandauer Kantorei, transcribed from a near-mint turquoise-and -silver label Turnabout LP. KHCD-2012-011 (STEREO) - Bruckner: Symphony No. 2 in c minor (1877 version) - Westfälisches Sinfonieorchester Recklinghausen/Hubert Reichert - Thoughtful, solid performance of early Bruckner by a German regional orchestra. This recording, first issued domestically in 1971, uses the 1877 first critical version, edited by Robert Haas in 1938. The LP used for this transcription, an early pressing turquoise-and-silver label Turnabout LP, has some vinyl roar present at the beginning of the CD (typical of these early Turnabout discs), but it subsides as the recording proceeds. First time on CD. KHCD-2012-012 (STEREO) - Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in d minor, Op. 95 "New World"; Miaskovsky: Symphony No. 21 in f-sharp minor, Op. 51 - Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy - Historic Columbia mono recordings from 1956 and 1946, respectively. Columbia's monos have been largely ignored, especially Ormandy's legacy with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The 1956 Dvořák is a much finer recording than his later stereo version with the London Symphony on Columbia, with detail abounding amongst the serenity of the Largo and the fire of the Scherzo. The Miaskovsky symphony is given a typically careful reading, in fine 1946 mono. Certainly worth preserving, and worthy of repeated listening. Comments for CDs on Klassic Haus website - 1st Series 2012 KHCD-2012-013 (STEREO) - Schütz: Psalmen Davids (Five Concerti for Soloists, Choruses & Instruments, Op. 2, 1619) - Soloists, Instrumentalists, Westphalian Choral Ensemble/Wilhelm Ehmann - The Psalmen Davids revealed the full extent to which Schütz had absorbed from his teacher Giovanni Gabrieli's heritage and adapted it to his own purposes. An extraordinary variety of color, harmony, and rhythm matches the wide range of emotion and imagery in the Psalms themselves. Performed from editions prepared by the conductor Wilhelm Ehmann, the Psalms come alive with expert, emotional performances by the Westphalian Choral Ensemble.

    Richard Adeney 1920–2010 Tributes to the Great British Player

    Richard Adeney 1920–2010 Tributes to the great British player Richard Adeney 25 January 1920–16 December 2010. ichard Adeney was one of the finest flute players of the twentieth century. In a long and distinguished orchestral career he was first flute in the London RPhilharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra, and appeared as a freelancer with many others. As a chamber musician he was a founder member of the Melos Ensemble, and he was a popular soloist and recording artist. Richard Adeney was born into a family of artists. His father, Bernard Adeney, had a short-lived marriage with his fellow artist Thérèse Lessore. When this marriage Richard Adeney at the age ended he introduced her to his friend Walter Sickert, who married her. Richard’s of eighty in 2000. mother, Noël, was an artist and textile designer. ‘I was named after that crackpot, the painter known early on as Walter Sickert, but later preferring to be called by his second name, Richard,’ he wrote. Adeney took up the flute at Bryanston School in Dorset and later studied at the Royal College of Music. When the Second World War broke out he applied for and, to his surprise, received conscientious objector status, which left him free to pursue a playing career. His earliest recordings were made on 78 RPM discs, and he participated in countless recordings on LPs, as a member of orchestras and chamber ensembles and as a soloist. His recordings with the Melos Ensemble of Debussy’s Sonate for flute, viola and harp and Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro remain for many the favourite performance of these works.

There was a good response to this invitation. On November 25™ the Courier reported that there were nearly 100 voices, but there were still vacancies for Tenors and Basses - this, in spile of the fact that there was already a large choir in the town known as the Tunbridge Wells Vocal Association.
