This set of 20 CDs is divided into 2 boxes of 10 discs: the first goes from the earliest vocal recordings in 1899 up to 1952, when the era of the 78 rpm shellac record effectively ended; the second covers the period 1953 to 2007 from the introduction of the vinyl LP record to the digital era and the CD. The recordings in the first part are all taken from the original four volumes of The Record of Singing, issued by EMI on LP between 1977 and 1989, and those in the second part have all been specially selected for this project. Details of recording dates, venues, producers and engineers are given where known, and the first part also includes the original 78 rpm matrix and catalogue numbers. Also, all the transfers of tracks from the original Record of Singing albums have been newly re-processed at Abbey Road to improve the sound even further using the latest audio restoration technology. 228 9562 The Record of Singing – very best of vols 1-4 (1899-1952) 10CD - special price! £24.95 228 9492 The Record of Singing – volume 5 (1953-2007) 10CD - special price! £24.95 2 Naxos – SPECIAL OFFER of only £4.00 per disc still available until 25th February (£5.45 after this time) 850 6019 Haydn The Complete Concertos 6CD £17.50 (£21.50) Cologne CO;Muller-Bruhl 857 2240 Music for Clarinet & Piano Copland, Bernstein, Dankworth Emma Johnson;John Lenehan 857 0723 Szymanowski Harnasie (Ballet-Pantomime), Madragora, Prince Potemkin Ochman;Pinderak;Warsaw PO;Wit 857 0550 Ireland Sextet, Clarinet Trio, Fantasy Sonata, The Holy Boy Plane;Rahman;Pyatt;Maggini Quartet 857 0792 Bridge Piano Trio no 2, Phantasie Trio, Miniatures Liebeck;Chaushian;Wass 855 9363 Carter String Quartets nos 2, 3 & 4 Pacifica Quartet 855 9378 Jones, Samuel Symphony 3 ‘Palo Duro Canyon’, Tuba Concerto Olka;Seattle SO;Schwarz 857 0315 Rheinberger Organ Works vol 8 – Sonatas 19 & 20, Prelude & Fugue Wolfgang Rubsam (Fulda Cathedral) 857 0396 Balakirev Piano Concertos, Grand Fantaisie on Russian Folksongs Seifetdinova;Russian PO;Yablonsky 857 0400 Bottesini Fantasie ‘La Sonnambula’, Ci divide l’ocean, Intro & Vars Carnaval Martin (dbl bass);Halstead 857 0469 Rode, Pierre Violin Concertos 7, 10 & 13 Friedmann Eichhorn;SWGRO;Pasquet 857 0480 Schubert Poets of Sensibility vol 6 Jan Kobow (tenor);Ulrich Eisenlohr (fortepiano) 857 0519 Mozart Late Piano Trios – K542, 548, 564 Kungsbacka Piano Trio 857 0555 Janacek Orchestral Suites from Operas 1 – Jenufa, Mr Broucek New Zealand SO;Breiner 857 0987 Lutoslawski Comp music for violin & piano; Szymanowski Myths; Janacek Violin Son Daskalakis;Yampolsky 857 2109 Passaggi Schwantner, Gryc, Bassett, Turrin, Zivkovic Hartt School Wind Ensemble;Adsit 857 2166 Wilby A Breathless Alleluia, Euphonium Concerto, Paganini Vars etc Black Dyke Mills Band;Childs 857 2175 Martinu Complete Piano Music vol 5 – Polkas 1916, 5 Waltzes Giorgio Koukl 855 9373-74 A Lincoln Portraits Ives, Persichetti, Harris,Gould, Turok, Copland 2CD £8.00 (£8.75) Nashville SO;Slatkin 866 0227-28 Strauss, J Furstin Ninetta – operetta 2CD £8.00 (£8.75) Aberg;Rombo;Grondahl;Stockholm Strauss Orch 812 0875 Bizet/Hammerstein Carmen Jones – original Broadway cast 1943 Smith;Saxon;Franzell;Bryant;Littau Naxos Historical 811 1256 Elgar Symphony 1, Falstaff (rec 1930-32) LSO;Elgar 811 0119-20 Verdi Simon Boccanegra (rec 1957) 2CD £8.00 (£8.75) Gobbi;Christoff;de los Angeles;Campora;Santini 811 2012 Weber Sonata 2; Liszt Son in B min, Legende 2, Leggierezza; Schubert Landler (rec 1931-48)Alfred Cortot Idil Biret Beethoven Edition 857 1255 Beethoven Sonatas 7, 21, 25 (rec 1994) Idil Biret £4.00 (£5.45) 857 1256 Beethoven Symphonies 4 & 5 - transcribed Liszt – rec 1985 Idil Biret £4.00 (£5.45) 857 1257 Beethoven Piano Concertos 3 & 4 – rec 2008 Idil Biret;Bilkent SO;Wit £4.00 (£5.45) Naxos Audiobooks NA 194412 Darwin in a Nutshell Peter Whitfield £7.75 NA 194512 Karma & Rebirth in a Nutshell Jinanda

En revanche, l’attribution à un autre compositeur du XVIIème siècle tel que Nicolaus Bruhns ou Gottfried Keiser, le père de Reinhard Keiser, n’est pas encore avérée et cette question reste donc à ce jour non élucidée. Recent musicological research tends to suggest that the Markuspassion is not the work of Reinhard Keiser, essentially for stylistic reasons. However, it has not yet proved possible to attribute it positively to any other contemporary composer, such as Nicolaus Bruhns, or to Gottfried Keiser, Reinhard’s father, and so its paternity is currently uncertain. Die Ergebnisse jüngster musikwissenschaftlicher Forschungen lassen, vor allem aus stilistischen Gründen, durchaus vermuten, dass Reinhard Keiser nicht der wirkliche Urheber der „Markuspassion“ ist.

  • Early Music Review EDITIONS of MUSIC Here Are Thirteen Works in the Present Volume
    Early Music Review EDITIONS OF MUSIC here are thirteen works in the present volume. The first two are masses by John Bedingham, while the others are anonymous mass movements (either New from Stainer & Bell T single or somehow related). Previous titles in the series have been reviewed by Clifford Bartlett, and I confess this English Thirteenth-century Polyphony is the first time I have looked at repertory from this period A Facsimile Edition by William J. Summers & Peter M. since I studied Du Fay at university! At that time I also Lefferts sang quite a lot of (slightly later) English music, so I am not Stainer & Bell, 2016.

Most of the pieces are in two or three T- apologies for the old school measurements!) is a parts (a fourth part – called “Tenor bassus” – is added to marvel to behold.

(Mr. Steinhardt, also a longtime member of the Curtis faculty, is one.) looking back, the current golden age of string quartets can be traced to a mission statement issued almost 90 years ago by early Curtis director Josef Hofmann: “to hand down through contemporary masters the great traditions of the past; to teach students to build on this heritage for the future.” Mary louise Curtis Bok created a haven for both teachers and students to immerse themselves in music at the highest levels without financial burden.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

  • Hollywood Quartet Flourished Briefly During the Early Years of the Long-Playing Record
    Hollywood Quartet flourished briefly during the early years of the long-playing record. Its leader, Felix Slatkin (father of the conductor, Leonard Slatkin) was a pupil o f Zimbalist and Remer, and in 1937 became leader of the 20th Century Fox Orchestra. All the members of the Quartet were principals in various Hollywood film studio orchestras, and the ensemble did not attract attention outside the West Coast of America until the advent of LP. On its first appearance in 1952, the authors of The Record Guide, Edward Sackville-\'{/est and Desmond Shawe-Taylor, hailed the Schubert String Quintet (with Kurt Reher as second cello) as 11 one of the very best in the di scography of chamber music'', no small claim but one that does not seem to me overstated. I have periodically played this version over the years and with unfailing satisfaction for apart from their tec hnical finish and perfect ensemble, they seem to penetrate further below the surface than do most of their rival s. I have also long admired their account with Victor Aller of the Brahms F minor Quintet, which it so happens that l played to a visitor quite recently. It is a powerful and thoughtful performance, and holds its own against such distinguished rivals as Serkin with the Busch Quartet from the 1930s, and the 1969 Eschenbach/ Amadeus. The Dvorak originally appeared in harness with rhe Third Quarret of Dohn:inyi, and my first reaction was to regret that EMI had not left thi s coupling undisturbed - until, that is, I heard the Smetana.
