The CD version’s ‘full-bodied sound production’ (Fanfare) is here further enhanced by state-of-the-art high-resolution and extra-wide dynamics, giving ‘one of the top Mahler Eighths’ (Classical CD Review) a new sonic dimension.

Vivaldi evokes not only the changing atmospheric conditions, but bird calls and animal cries, swaying grass, bubbling brooks, and even comical drunkards and a man walking on ice. Violinist Cho-Liang Lin, who has been compared with Gidon Kremer, Nigel Kennedy and Kyung-Wha Chung, and the virtuoso ensemble Sejong give ‘a durable and unmannered, yet bracing and continuously interesting version’ (Fanfare) of these immortal classics. VIVALDI’S IMMORTAL ‘THE FOUR SEASONS’ ON STUNNING NAXOS BLU-RAY AUDIO ALBUM! Sejong is a first-class string orchestra performing on major stages around the world.

A mix of futurism à la Metropolis, fantasy à la Batman and quotes from Piranesi’s Carceri, juxtaposed in the form of photo montages, enhanced with…robots, a helicopter, a shark and the winged vehicle of a pop star Pope’, was how the Neue Zürcher Zeitung described this astonishing Salzburg Festival production of Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini. The high-calibre cast, headed by Burkhard Fritz as the temperamental Renaissance artist and the 26-year-old Latvian soprano Maija Kovalevska as Teresa, the woman with whom he tries to elope, is conducted by Valery Gergiev who ‘pulled out all the stops. He whips the Vienna Philharmonic into a delirium similar to that which possibly took hold of the composer’. (Der Standard) This is French grand opera at its fast-paced and spectacularly- staged best. Gergiev’s conducting is characterised by a febrile intensity and spontaneity that results in performances of great power, concentration and energy. He is without question one of the foremost conductors of the twenty-first century. Also available on Naxos DVD 2.110271 ‘Benvenuto Cellini is riotously in-your-face revealed, again, as a great comic masterpiece’ – Fanfare ‘the over-the-top production is sung and played about as beautifully as anyone could want. Russian conductor Valéry Gergiev and the Vienna Philharmonic make the richly dramatic score blaze with colour.’ – Toronto Star Valery Gergiev Also available: THE BEST OF BERLIOZ 8.556678 BERLIOZ Cantatas 8.555810 BERLIOZ La Damnation de Faust 8.660116-17 BERLIOZ L’Enfance du Christ8.553650-51 BERLIOZ Harold in Italy, Les Francs-Juges 8.553034 BERLIOZ Requiem 8.554494-95 BERLIOZ Symphonie Fantastique 8.553597 Valery Gergiev Biography & Discography Hector Berlioz Biography & Discography NAXOS CD NAXOS ENGLISH CHORAL 8.572653 | 747313265374 RUTTER Gloria, Magnificat, Te Deum Elizabeth Cragg, soprano • DeChorum • St Albans Cathedral Choir • Andrew Lucas, conductor Acclaimed British composer John Rutter’s Gloria was a milestone in his career and remains an evergreen favourite with choirs worldwide for its freshness, drama and sheer beauty. His joyous setting of the Magnificat was conceived, in the composer’s words, as ‘a bright Latin-flavoured fiesta’ and is performed here in its version for choir, organ and chamber orchestra. This delightful choral album concludes with Rutter’s setting of the Te Deum, one of the church’s most ebullient hymns of praise to the Almighty. St Albans Cathedral Choir consists of 24 boy Choristers (aged 8-14) and 12 Lay Clerks (the gentlemen who sing the Alto, Tenor and Bass parts). The choir’s recent tours have included USA (2006) and France (2009). Future events include a recording with the Abbey Girls Choir, and a tour of Sweden is planned for 2011.

  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Since its launch in 1982, the Marco Polo label has for twenty years sought to draw attention to unexplored repertoire.␣ Its main goals have been to record the best music of unknown composers and the rarely heard works of well-known composers.␣ At the same time it aspired, like Marco Polo himself, to bring something of the East to the West and of the West to the East. For many years Marco Polo was the only label dedicated to recording rare repertoire.␣ Most of its releases were world première recordings of works by Romantic, Late Romantic and Early Twentieth Century composers, and of light classical music. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again, particularly those whose careers were affected by political events and composers who refused to follow contemporary fashions.␣ Of particular interest are the operas by Richard Wagner’s son Siegfried, who ran the Bayreuth Festival for so many years, yet wrote music more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck. To Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich, Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan), and Bruder Lustig, which further explores the mysterious medieval world of German legend.␣ Other German operas included in the catalogue are works by Franz Schreker and Hans Pfitzner. Earlier Romantic opera is represented by Weber’s Peter Schmoll, and by Silvana, the latter notable in that the heroine of the title remains dumb throughout most of the action. Marschner’s Hans
