On this stunning Naxos Blu-ray Audio album Antoni Wit leads the immense forces required for Mahler’s Eighth Symphony in a performance, originally released on Naxos CD 8.550533-34, ‘at once deeply religious and extremely sensual. The playing is tremendous, the choral singing thrillingly beautiful ‘(The Guardian) which ‘combines the best of just about all of the competing versions and offers the most accurate sense of what the piece really does (or should) sound like live’ (10/10 Classics Today). 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.

NAXOS BLU-RAY AUDIO ORCHESTRAL NBD0016 | 730099001663 VIVALDI ‘The Four Seasons’ & Concertos Op 8 Nos 5-6 Cho-Liang Lin, • Anthony Newman, harpsichord & organ • Sejong

Praised by Gramophone magazine as ‘an invigorating account of the Seasons’ when first released on Naxos CD 8.557920, Vivaldi’s universally popular Four Seasons, with their virtuoso part for solo violinist, depict the changing seasons in a pastoral landscape with dazzling variety. 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.

NAXOS BLU-RAY VIDEO OPERA NBD0006 | 730099000666 BERLIOZ Benvenuto Cellini Burkhard Fritz (Benvenuto Cellini) • Maija Kovalevska (Teresa) • Laurent Naouri (Fieramosca) Brindley Sherratt (Giacomo Balducci) • Mikhail Petrenko (Pope Clemens VII) • Kate Aldrich (Ascanio) Xavier Mas (Francesco) • Roberto Tagliavini (Bernardino) • Adam Plachetka (Pompeo) • Sung-Keun Park (Innkeeper) State Opera Chorus • Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra • Valery Gergiev, conductor

Filmed at the Großes Festspielhaus, Salzburg, 5, 10 and 15 August 2007. 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

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.

NAXOS ORCHESTRAL 8.572704 | 747313270477 SIBELIUS Symphony No. 2, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra • Pietari Inkinen, conductor

The Guardian has praised Pietari Inkinen as ‘a conductor of bold, sure-footed intelligence’ and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra as ‘a fine, responsive unit’ (Sibelius Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3, 8.572305). Volume 3 in Naxos’s new series presents the dramatic and highly popular Symphony No. 2, which emerges from the northern mists, cultivating a pastoral atmosphere along the way, to reach a grandiose, heroic finale. One of Sibelius’s best loved compositions, the Karelia Suite, presents a series of musical tableaux based on stirring episodes from Finnish history.

In October 2010, the NZSO embarked on the most prestigious international tour of its history, performing by invitation in some of Europe’s greatest concert halls in Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia and , opening the tour at the World Trade Expo in Shanghai. Its 2011 Season, once again led by young Finnish conductor Pietari Inkinen, promises to be one of the Orchestra’s most exciting ever.

‘an absolute master of her craft... mature beyond her years’ - allmusic.com

NAXOS CONCERTO 8.572275 | 747313227570 SARASATE Works for Violin and Orchestra Vol 3 Fantasia on Mozart’s The Magic , Navarra, Muiñera, Fantasia on Gounod’s Faust, Gondoliéra veneziana, Introduction et Caprice-Jota Tianwa Yang, violin • Orquesta Sinfonica de Navarra • Ernest Martinez-Izquierdo, conductor

Tianwa Yang continues her highly praised survey of Pablo de Sarasate’s brilliant music for violin and orchestra. His Magic Flute Fantasy is a masterpiece of the genre à la Paganini, while the Gounod Fantasy (his second) is a miracle of lightness. The highly popular Navarra, the charming Muiñera with its bagpipe effects, the bewitching Venetian Barcarolle and the Introduction et Caprice-Jota with its barcarolle-like beginning and dancing finale coming thrillingly to life on this album. Of Ms. Yang, the New Zealand Herald recently wrote “this 23-year-old can hold her own against the legendary players of her instrument”.

‘Already possessing several successful albums of Pablo Sarasate’s works under her belt, Chinese-born violinist Tianwa Yang returns to Naxos for Vol. 2 of the label’s survey of Sarasate’s works for violin and orchestra. This installment includes the popular “Carmen” Fantasy as well as the less common “Romeo and Juliette” Fantasy and four additional shorter works. As in previous albums, Yang proves herself to be an absolute master of her craft. Not only does she possess a venerable, precise technique, but musical and interpretive skills to match. Rarely are the lofty technical demands of the “Carmen” Fantasy tossed off with such apparent ease and effortlessness. Yang plays with superbly accurate intonation, flawless shifts, and meticulous articulation. Add to this her pleasantly varied tone color and commanding, projecting sound and you get a violinist well-equipped to handle any literature. Far from being just a technical player, Yang also interjects copious amounts of panache, sultriness, and seductiveness that so characterize Sarasate’s works. Mature far beyond her young years, listeners will no doubt look forward to many more years of similarly captivating performances. Joining Yang is the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra providing a sensitive, rhythmically vibrant backdrop for Yang; Naxos’ sound is robust, clean, and present.’ – allmusic.com

Best known today for his sumptuously Romantic symphonic poems (8.570452, 8.570295), Mieczysław Karłowicz completed his most ambitious work, the ‘Rebirth’ Symphony, in 1903. Like Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony which was premiered the following year (8.550523-24), it evokes the soul’s spiritual struggle against fate from tragedy to triumph. The resplendent Prologue Karłowicz’s music for the play Bianca da Molena(The White Dove) introduces one of his most serene compositions, the Intermezzo. Polish conductor Antoni Wit brings out the brooding, portentous and lyrical characteristics of his compatriot’s richly orchestrated yet seldom-heard scores.

Thanks to his symphonic music, Karłowicz became one of the greatest masters of the early 20th century in the lush late Romantic style. Praised as “a precious musical pearl of rainbow splendour”, his music is now being rediscovered and greatly enjoyed by modern audiences.

Donizetti’s fiftieth opera,Marino Faliero, was first performed in Paris on 12 March 1835 with a cast comprising four of the finest singers of the period before premiering in London a few weeks later. Although both of these premieres were overshadowed by Bellini’s I Puritani (Naxos Historical 8.110259-60), Marino Faliero subsequently enjoyed a long and successful run of international performances throughout the 19th Century before disappearing from the stage until its modern revival in 1966. Set in Venice in 1355, it remains a major work of Italian Romanticism, sentimental, martial, full of conspiratorial adventure and culminating with the execution of the leading character.

Giogrio Surian has starred in many spectacular Arena di Verona opera productions and sang roles as diverse as Scarpia and Falstaff in the world’s major opera houses. ‘His bass is solid, true, and strongly projected with a wide range of colour and expression. Above all it does not spread under pressure.’ – MusicWeb International

This eighth and final volume of Naxos’s acclaimed survey of Haydn’s Masses contrasts the intimately-scaled Little Organ Solo Mass with the symphonically-conceived Mass in B flat major, nicknamed Theresienmesse after Marie Therese, the wife of Emperor Francis II and the soprano soloist in the Viennese premieres of The Creation (8.557380-81) and The Seasons (8.557600-01). The Great Organ Solo Mass is available on 8.572125 and the 8-CD boxed set of the Complete Masses on 8.508009. ‘Bravo!’ (Early Music America) ‘monumental recording… the first-ever collection of the complete Haydn masses performed on period instruments’ (Baker & Taylor CD Hotlist)

Hailed by The New York Times as ‘sophisticated and beguiling’ and praised by The Los Angeles Times for its ‘astonishingly vital music making’ The Rebel Baroque Orchestra is reputed internationally for its virtuosic, highly expressive and provocative approach to Baroque and Classical music. At Trinity Church, Wall Street, Rebel collaborates regularly with the acclaimed Trinity Church Choir.

ROBERT CRAFT STRAVINSKY EDITION VOL 12 8.557532 | 747313253227 STRAVINSKY Duo concertant, Sonata for Two , Requiem Canticles, Abraham and Isaac, Élégie, Bluebird Jennifer Frautschi, violin • Jeremy Denk, piano • Ralph van Raat, piano I • Maaten van Veen, piano II Sally Burgess, contralto • David Wilson Johnson, baritone • Roderick Willams, bass • Philharmonia Orchestra Richard O’Neill, • Twentieth Century Classics Ensemble • Robert Craft, conductor

Naxos’s acclaimed Robert Craft Stravinsky Edition continues with this fascinating album of diverse pieces by one of the 20th Century’s iconic composers. The Duo Concertant reconciles the contrasting timbres of violin and piano, while the breezy Sonata for Two Pianos, written in America, draws on Russian themes. The Requiem Canticles were performed at Stravinsky’s funeral, while the ‘sacred ballad’ Abraham and Isaac is a dramatic and moving retelling of the Old Testament story. The Élégie for solo viola is one of his most affecting works, and Bluebird is a loving arrangement for chamber orchestra of excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty.

Robert Craft formed the Twentieth Century Classics Ensemble to perform and record the seminal works of the last century, in particular the music of Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. The close working relationship between the players and Robert Craft has produced finely tuned and deeply felt performances which are heightened by Robert Craft’s own stamp of authenticity. These recordings have been hailed by critics and fellow musicians alike.

NAXOS ORCHESTRAL 8.572597 | 747313259779 BAX Winter Legends, Morning Song, Saga Fragment Ashley Wass, piano • Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra • James Judd, conductor

Arnold Bax was one of the major forces in British composition between the two world wars, his music blending broad melodies and brilliant orchestral sonorities into a lush Romantic sound world. The three works on this disc were composed for the renowned pianist Hilary Cohen. Bax described Winter Legends as ‘a northern nature piece full of sea and pine forest and dark legends’. Subtitled ‘Maytime in Sussex’ Morning Song celebrated the 21st birthday of the then Princess Elizabeth. In contrast, martial overtones give the Saga Fragment, the composer’s own orchestration of his Piano Quintet of 1922, a darker hue.

Described by Gramophone magazine as possessing ‘the enviable gift to turn almost anything he plays into pure gold’, Ashley Wass is recognised as one of the stars of his generation. As Naxos’s first ever exclusively contracted solo artist, he made his debut recording in 1999 with an acclaimed solo recital disc of works by César Franck for Naxos (8.554484). His recent surveys of piano music by Bridge and Bax have been heralded as ‘unmissable’ and ‘the yardstick against which all future recordings will be judged’.

The driving energy of Turkish/American composer Kamran Ince’s Hot, Red, Cold, Vibrant recalls the motoric rhythms of John Adams’s Short Ride in a Fast Machine with some unexpected jolts added. The soloists, chorus and large orchestra of his Symphony No. 5 celebrate the glories of the great Galatasaray soccer club with grandly-sung poetry, sonorous harmonies and rousing music. Requiem Without Words mourns the Muslims, Christians and Jews killed in the 2003 terrorist bombings in Istanbul, while Before Infrared creates a sense of a great mass of sound hurtling towards a bright and shimmering Shangri-la.

The Bilkent Symphony Orchestra is the first private, international and academic artistic ensemble in Turkey. With Turkish and foreign guest conductors, soloists and choirs, the orchestra has distinguished itself through its season of over eighty concerts a year. It performs on a number of acclaimed Naxos and Idil Biret Archive albums.

The polystylistic riches of his music mark Alexandre Tansman as a free-and clear-thinking composer. Polish-born and active in Paris and the USA, Tansman had a successful career and his music now enjoys renewed interest worldwide. The sinuous contours and tender melodies of his Clarinet Concerto contrast with the ever-changing musical styles of his concertino for Oboe, Clarinet and Strings. The Six Movements for String Orchestra form a cycle unified by their deftly conceived interrelationships. His 24 Intermezzi and Petite Suite (8.572266) and Chamber Music with Clarinet (8.570235) are also available.

NAXOS CONCERTO 8.570705 | 747313070572 ALWYN Violin Concerto, Miss Julie Suite, Fanfare for a Joyful Occasion Lorraine McAslan, violin •Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra • David Lloyd-Jones, conductor

Naxos’s many highly-praised recordings of William Alwyn’s music have done much to revive excitement among today’s listeners for this British composer who is best known for his 200 or so film scores. His bravura Violin Concerto, the second and most substantial of his six concertos, is romantic and rhapsodic in nature. The Miss Julie Suite takes episodes from his last completed opera based on Strindberg’s tragic play, while the Fanfare for a Joyful Occasion pays tribute to the late James Blades, a gifted percussionist. Juilliard School-trained violinist Lorraine McAslan has been praised by The Strad as ‘one of the most distinguished British violinists of her generation’.

Initially trained in London, Lorraine McAslan moved to New York at the age of seventeen on the recommendation of Isaac Stern to study at the Juilliard School. She pursues a busy teaching career at the Royal Academy of Music, and was awarded an Honorary Associateship of the Academy in 2007. She plays on an Andreas Guarneri violin of 1691, on kind loan from the Academy.

Honoured in 2009 with an Academy Award, David Gompper has travelled the world working as a pianist, conductor and composer, and developing a fascination with all manner of things and sounds, from the experience of echoes in mountainous terrain to the Fibonacci Series, popular film and TV themes to old Russian icons. Putting such disparate ideas into play, his music often has a tightly-organised yet free flowing character making it endlessly fascinating. David Gompper’s compositions are heard throughout the United States and Europe.

Austrian violinist Wolfgang David has been praised by The Strad as being as ‘emotionally wide-ranging as one could hope for’ and for having ‘scaled the heights of musicmaking’ (The Washington Post). He is a long-time collaborator with composer David Gompper.

William Mathias’s eloquent and accessible style comes to the fore in these premiere recordings of his music for violin and piano. His unpublished Violin Sonata (1952) is a highly original and ambitious work from his student days. The first Violin Sonata is a model of clarity and concision, while the second Violin Sonata, commissioned to celebrate the composer’s 50th birthday, is cast in four vividly contrasted – and virtuosic – movements. Sara Tricky, praised by The Strad for her ‘fiery and passionate’ playing, joins Iwan Llewellyn-Jones whose ‘power and clean-cut precision’ was acclaimed by The Guardian.

She studied at the Royal College of Music, at Cambridge University (where she achieved a double starred First) and at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In duo recital she has recently appeared with Stephen Kovacevich, Roger Vignoles, William Howard and Tom Poster, among others. “natural finesse and sensitivity, accomplished technique and a beautifully refined tone... there was never for one second any doubt of her intellectual and emotional understanding of the music” - Musical Opinion

In the quarter-century between 1983 and 2008, the music world underwent dramatic shifts in technology, resources and fashions. Through it all, Lawrence Dillon’s artistic concerns remained steadfast. A love for lyricism, a dash of wit, and what he has called “an irresistible urge” to connect with the Classical music heritage have remained easily identifiable hallmarks of Dillon’s music. The nine works on this recording trace these ongoing characteristics, which can also be found in his vocal, chamber and symphonic works, through the lens of music featuring the violin.

Danielle Belen plays on a 1709 Allesandro Gagliano violin from the Mandell Collection of Southern California. Juan-Miguel Hernandez is the violist of the Harlem String Quartet. Australian pianist David Fung was a top prizewinner at the 12th Arthur Rubinstein Piano Masters Competition.

Their albums of Mendelssohn’s String Quintets ( 8.570488) and Glazunov’s chamber music (8.570256) were named “Recordings of the Year” by Musicweb International, and their recording of Schumann’s string quartets ( 8.570151) was hailed by the American Record Guide as “one of the very finest chamber music recordings of the year”. On this disc the acclaimed Fine Arts Quartet performs Camille Saint-Saëns’s two magnificent string quartets. “Saint-Saëns has been unfairly tarnished as being a lightweight composer,” notes first violinist Ralph Evans. “Listening to these serious, intellectual, brilliantly crafted yet delightful works will change minds in a hurry.”

The Fine Arts Quartet, which celebrates its 65th anniversary in 2011, is one of the most distinguished ensembles in chamber music today, with an illustrious history of performing success and an extensive recording legacy. The Quartet’s recent recordings have received many distinctions.

NAXOS CHAMBER MUSIC 8.570489 | 747313048977 SCHMITT Piano Quintet, À tour d’anches Berlin Soloists Ensemble

Compared by contemporaries to Ravel and Debussy, French composer Florent Schmitt is being rediscovered today. Following his death, one critic mourned that “French music has just lost a smile and a master”. The whimsical and sparkling À tour d’anches for oboe, clarinet, and piano and the dramatically beautiful Piano Quintet reveal a powerful and distinctive personality. By turns lyrical, humorous and fiery, these two chamber works span a period of almost forty years, from the beginning of Schmitt’s mature period to his late style.

Berlin Soloists Ensemble comprises Matthias Wollong, 1st violin, Petra Schwieger, 2nd violin, Ulrich Knörzer, viola, Andreas Grünkorn, , and Birgitta Wollenweber, piano. Each of these highly respected musicians brings a wealth of artistry and experience to the ensemble.

Music for wind band embraces an extraordinary range of musical styles and finds inspiration from a remarkable variety of sources. The Medieval Suite pays homage to Léonin, Pérotin and Machaut, three master-composers from the Middle Ages, while the Sketches on a Tudor Psalm are based on the same hymn tune that Vaughan Williams used for his celebrated Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. The Capriccio thrillingly sets off a saxophone quartet against the full wind band, while the Rhapsody embroils the solo trumpet and wind band in a dazzling set of variations. The Symphony is a tightly-integrated work whose central movement is a plaintive chaconne. The album opens with a Fanfare composed for The Kennedy Centre’s 25th Anniversary season.

Following in the footsteps of such great late romantic composers as Richard Strauss, Mahler and Pfitzner, the precociously gifted Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s unwavering commitment to refined melody, ravishing harmony and formal coherence earned him a reputation as somewhat reactionary in the face of the rising Modernist avant garde. Yet these very characteristics now drive immense interest in his music, among which the varied songs on this album rank among his most intimate and imaginative small-scale works. This new Naxos series is set to reveal countless treasures, worthy to be heard beside the songs of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Wolf.

Britta Stallmeister is a prize-winning young soprano with a busy schedule of operatic and concert appearances throughout Germany. Young German baritone Uwe Schenker-Primus is establishing himself in a number of important operatic roles. Pianist and conductor Klaus Simon is a frequent performer in a wide range of ensemble music, from Mozart to Morton Feldman.

Throughout the 19TH Century, and owing greatly to Franz Liszt’s seminal contributions, operatic transcriptions, arrangements, paraphrases and fantasies were indispensible for any virtuoso performer. Liszt’s piano versions brought music from Wagner’s and Weber’s operas to audiences who avidly enjoyed hearing famous themes in virtuosic garb, whether as straight transcriptions or as more florid improvisations and medleys. Winner of the Grand Prix du Disque Liszt, pianist Steven Mayer was praised by The New York Times as ‘a very fine pianist; his nuances and rubato were markedly more stylish than the work of some of our more famous virtuosos.’

Steven Mayer has been Professor of Piano at the Manhattan School of Music and is Professor of Piano at the International Keyboard Institute and Festival at Mannes as well as at the University of Denver Lamont School of Music.

Following the release of delightful piano music by Chopin’s pupils (8.572344), Naxos reveals more rarely-heard Romantic bon-bons by these heirs of the ‘poet of the piano’. Each movement of Karol Mikuli’s Grand Duo is ingeniously based on two prevailing themes evoking Wagner, Schubert, Liszt and, of course, Chopin along the way towards a triumphant conclusion. Thomas Tellefsen’s two violin sonatas reflect musical developments between the legacy of Beethoven and the advent of Grieg. Chopin’s favourite student, the short-lived prodigy Carl Filtsch, is represented by his charming Allegretto con variazioni which was probably composed in Vienna.

Wojciech Proniewicz graduated from Warsaw’s Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music. He is a laureate of many violin competitions, including 1st prize-winner at the 6th Silesian International Violin Competition for Young Violinists and the Stanislaw Serwaczynski National Violin Competition for Young Violinists. By the age of three, Alexander Jakobidze-Gitman’s musical abilities had been discerned by a prominent music teacher, Vladimir Kiryushin, on whose advice he entered the Special Music School of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Since then he has won several awards and now performs throughout Europe and the USA.

An innovative genius, Claude Debussy is famous for his mature ‘Impressionist’ music, though he rather disliked the term. He frequently performed four-hand piano pieces in concert, most of the works on this disc either being composed or adapted by him for this line-up. The imaginative figuration, kaleidoscopic sonorities and moments of dazzling virtuosity found in these rarely-heard works from the 1880s are a testament to Debussy’s skills both as a performer and a composer. Pianists Adrienne Soós and Ivo Haag have been a firmly-established piano duo for more than fifteen years, becoming one of the leading chamber music ensembles in Switzerland.

Recipient of the prestigious Grawemeyer and Academy Awards, among other prizes and fellowships, Sebastian Currier composes “music with a distinctive voice” (The New York Times) that is “lyrical, colorful, firmly rooted in tradition, but absolutely new” (The Washington Post) and which has been performed at major venues worldwide by acclaimed artists and orchestras. Whether inspired by Bach, Beethoven and Hindemith (Piano Sonata), playing with Scarlattian formulas, stirring up a satirical Brainstorm, or pondering on his compositional choices (Departures and Arrivals), Currier engages the listener’s head and heart. Laura Melton’s Naxos recording of Samuel Adler’s piano music (8.559602) was praised by Fanfare as “expert and excellent”.

Laura Melton, Associate Professor of Piano and Coordinator of Keyboard Studies at Bowling Green State University, Ohio, has won several competitions and awards. A graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy, she is currently a summer faculty member at the Interlochen Arts Camp.

NAXOS EARLY MUSIC 8.572209 | 747313220977 STORACE Harpsichord Music (1664) Naoko Akutagawa, harpsichord

Bernardo Storace’s Selva di varie compositioni, published in Venice in 1664, is one of the greatest outpourings of sheer inventiveness in music history. The two passacaglias on this fascinating disc contain no fewer than 320 variations, climaxing, as do the Ciaccona and the two Passamezzi, with dashing dances, correnti and galliarde, which point toward the later development of the Baroque suite. These fine 17th-century pieces in which Frescobaldi’s powerful influence is evident are played on a modern copy of a beautiful 1697 Italian harpsichord whose clear, rich sound is ideal for this music.

Naoko Akutagawa made her début recording for Naxos in 2005 with the complete works for harpsichord by Gaspard le Roux. She was a prize-winner of the 2006 Bonporti Competition in Rovereto, Italy, and in 2007 was guest musical staff at the Netherlands Opera, Amsterdam.

The pairing of the comic opera The Telephone with the sinister music-drama The Medium proved to be a big hit for composer Gian Carlo Menotti when they opened together on Broadway in 1947. The double bill ran for over 200 performances, and enjoyed similar success in London during 1948. This original 1947 cast recording of The Medium, made by the American Columbia company, was first released in the United Kingdom in 1961, when The Gramophone wrote enthusiastically: ‘its effectiveness as a musical work for the stage is beyond argument.’

NAXOS HISTORICAL CONCERTO 8.111367 | 747313336722 WALTON Violin Concerto, SAINT-SAËNS Havanaise, SINDING Suite im alten Stil, CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO Violin Concerto No. 2 ‘I profeti’ (The Prophets) (1950–54 Recordings) Jascha Heifetz, violin • Philharmonia Orchestra • William Walton, conductor • RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra William Steinberg, conductor • Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra • Alfred Wallenstein, conductor

William Walton’s Violin Concerto, heard here in its revised version in a now legendary recording conducted by the composer, was undoubtedly Jascha Heifetz’s most successful commission. Like the other Romantic works on this disc by Camille Saint-Saëns and Christian Sinding, it perfectly suited Heifetz’s polished elegance and scintillating virtuosity. Written for and premièred by Heifetz, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Second Violin Concerto was described by the composer as ‘a kind of Biblical concerto, an evocation of times in the glorious past’. Although the work predates the composer’s Hollywood days by seven years, any one of the three movements, which portray the Old Testament prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Elijah, would not be out of place as part of the soundtrack to an epic Biblical film.

Jascha Heifetz was the man who stabilised and consolidated the way most difficult of instruments was handled. He set the tone, and throughout his adult career, critics, fellow musicians and the public used him as their benchmark of good violinism. On a purely technical level, he has not been equalled, let alone surpassed.

This is the final album in Idil Biret’s acclaimed nineteen-volume Beethoven Edition, consisting of the complete piano sonatas and concertos, the choral fantasy and Liszt’s transcriptions of the nine symphonies, bringing to completion after a quarter of a century Idil Biret’s Beethoven odyssey. ‘The performances here truly represent a lifetime of musical thinking, and they are essential for serious Beethovenians.’ (All Music Guide) ‘With unflagging energy she produced a series of supercharged performances. In Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata she revealed not only glittering fingerwork, but an unusually powerful and clear-thinking musical mind.’ (The Daily Telegraph)
