CATALOGUE Mendelssohn • Schumann Violin Concertos Christian Tetzlaff Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra Paavo Järvi Prowess in the creation, performance and preservation of recorded music. Since its foundation in 1985, Ondine has remained true to its guiding principle: an uncompromising devotion to excellence in recorded music. By supporting new, creative efforts in the field of contemporary music, Ondine captures the finest new works by some of the world’s leading artists. Over the past three decades Ondine has become a prestigious international label. In collaborations with many well-known artists and orchestras the label has been honoured with several major music awards. One of Ondine’s key missions has been to introduce new audiences to Finnish composers and artists, and some of the country’s finest classical innovators can be found by browsing the pages of Ondine’s continuously expanding catalogue. We invite you, the listener, to join us in exploring this fantastic repertoire. Ondine maintains the founding principles that have guided the label through its history: an unconditional belief in quality, and a firm vision for the future of recording. Kompromißloses Engagement für höchste Aufnahmequalität, Förderung neuer kreativer Impulse auf dem Gebiete der zeitgenössischen Musik und die mustergültige Wiedergabe etablierter Werke durch Künstler der Spitzenklasse: Das ist das Prinzip, an dem Ondine seit seiner Gründung im Jahre 1985 festhält. Im Laufe der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte hat sich Ondine durch die Zusammenarbeit mit internationalen Stars und Orchestern zu einem Label von internationalem Renommee entwickelt – eine Tatsache, die sich auch in zahlreichen großen Preisen der Tonträger-Industrie und anderen Erfolgen niedergeschlagen hat. Eine seiner zentralen Aufgaben sieht Ondine darin, finnischen Komponisten und Künstlern ein neues Publikum zu erschließen. Wer den kontinuierlich wachsenden Katalog des Labels durchblättert, wird darin einige der besten »Klassiker« und etliche innovative Komponisten des Landes finden. Wir laden Sie ein, uns bei der Erforschung dieses fantastischen Repertoires Gesellschaft zu leisten. Nach wie gelten für Ondine die Grundprinzipien, von denen sich das Label seit seiner ersten Stunde hat leiten lassen: das bedingungslose Vertrauen auf Qualität und eine klare Vorstellung von der Zukunft des Tonträgers. Depuis sa fondation, en 1985, Ondine est resté fidèle à sa ligne directrice, le dévouement sans compromis à l’excellence dans l’enregistrement musical, en soutenant les efforts féconds et novateurs dans le domaine de la musique contemporaine et en s’attachant à mettre en valeur les interprétations d’œuvres connues par des artistes de tout premier plan. Au cours des trois dernières décennies, Ondine est progressivement devenu un label de prestige et de renommée internationale par sa collaboration avec des artistes et orchestres qui comptent parmi les plus éminents. Ce travail a été couronné de nombreux succès, dont plusieurs prix importants de l’industrie du disque. Ondine s’est aussi fixé la mission essentielle de faire découvrir à de nouveaux publics les compositeurs et artistes finlandais. Son catalogue, qui s’étoffe sans cesse, permet d’écouter quelques-uns des meilleurs musiciens classiques et compositeurs créatifs du pays. Nous vous invitons à explorer avec nous ce répertoire fantastique. Ondine n’a jamais dérogé aux principes fondateurs qui ont guidé le label à travers son histoire : une foi inconditionnelle en la qualité, et une vision claire de l’avenir de la musique enregistrée. 2 CONTENTS Composers and their works ......................................................................................................5 Collections ............................................................................................................................147 DVD video releases ..............................................................................................................179 Index – Artists .......................................................................................................................183 Index – Numerical.................................................................................................................190 Distributors ...........................................................................................................................199 This catalogue lists all Ondine recordings which are available physically and/or digitally 3 AWARDS AllM AllMusic.com: Editors’ Choice Gram R Gramophone: Gramophone recommends ARG American Record Guide: Critic’s Choice Gram RI Gramophone ReIssue Aud Audiophile Audition: ICMA A ICMA Award: Assorted Programs MULTICHANNEL DISC OF THE MONTH ICMA C ICMA Award: Contemporary Aud Y Audiophile Audition: BEST OF THE YEAR DISC ICMA Co ICMA Award: Concerto BBC BBC Music Magazine: BBC Choice ICMA F ICMA Finalist BBC C BBC Music Magazine: Concerto Choice ICMA N ICMA Nominee BBC CC BBC Music Magazine: Chamber Choice Ifpi Ifpi Award BBC Ch BBC Music Magazine: IRR International Record Review: Outstanding BBC Music Magazine’s Choice Klas Klassik Empfehlung BBC CS BBC Music Magazine: Choral & Song Choice KHeute Klassik heute: Empfehlung BBC Ed BBC Music Magazine: BBC Editor’s LeM Choc Le Monde de la Musique: Special Award of BBC F BBC Music Magazine Awards: BBC Finalist Le Monde de la Musique: Musique Choc BBC M BBC Music Magazine: Recording of the Month LeM Ed Le Monde de la Musique: BBC O BBC Music Magazine: Orchestral Choice Editor’s Choice of Le Monde de la Musique BBC V BBC Vocal Award Winner Limel Limelight: Editor’s Choice BBC 20 BBC Music Magazine: Midem Midem Classical Awards BBC Top 20 CDs of the Year MWeb B MusicWeb International: Bargain of the Month CCA Cannes Classical Award MWeb M MusicWeb International: Recording of the Month ClFM Classic FM: CD of the Week MWeb Y MusicWeb International: Recording of the Year ClFM Aw Classic FM: Gramophone Award Op C Critic’s Choice Opera News: Critic’s Choice ClFM M Classic FM: Disc of the Month Op E Editor’s Choice Opera News - Editor’s Choice Choc Classica: Choc de Classica P Out Penguin Guide: outstanding performance and Clef ResMusica.com: Clef d’Or recording in every way Clef M Resmusica.com: Clef du Mois Pizz Pizzicato: Supersonic Rating Cres Crescendo (France): Joker Pizz E Pizzicato: Excellentia CT I ClassicsToday.com: International Concensus R10 Repertoire: Repertoire 10 rating CT M ClassicsToday.com: Disc of the Month Sch Scherzo – Excepcional CT 10 ClassicsToday.com: 10/10 rating Schal Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Diap Nouveautés Diapason: Diapason Nouveautés (German Record Critics’ Award): Diap A Diapason de l’annee Bestenlisten (Quarterly Critic’s Choice) d’Or Diapason d’Or Schal Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik: d’Or Y Diapason d’Or Recording of the Year (German Record Critics’ Award): F Fanfare: Want List Jahrespreise (Recording of the year) Fono Fono Forum: Recording of the month Strad The Strad: The Strad Recommends G Aw Grammy Award: Best Classical Compendium Sun T ALBUM OF THE WEEK The Sunday Times, G Nom Grammy: Nominee London - Album of the Week Gram C Gramophone Award: Concerto Télé Télérama magazine Gram CA Contemporary Gramophone Award: Contemporary WETA WETA: CD Pick of the Week Gram E Gramophone: Gramophone Choice WQXR WQXR (New York) - Album of the Week Gram Ed Gramophone: Gramophone Editor’s Choice Yle Yle (Finnish Broadcasting Company): Gram H Gramophone: Holiday Critic’s Choice Record of the Year Gram M Gramophone: Record of the Month Zeit Y Die Zeit Best Album of the Year Gram N Gramophone Award: Nomination 4 AHO • ALBÉNIZ • ANDERSON COMPOSERS AWARDS CCA CT 10 AHO, Kalevi (b. 1949) ALBÉNIZ, Isaac (1860–1909) Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7 Iberia, Book 1 (arr.

    Erkki-Sven Tüür

    © Kaupo Kikkas Erkki-Sven Tüür Contemporary BIOGRAPHIE Erkki-Sven Tüür Mit einem breit gefächerten musikalischen Hintergrund und einer Vielzahl von Interessen und Einflüssen ist Erkki- Sven Tüür einer der einzigartigsten Komponisten der Zeitgenössischen Musik. Tüür hat 1979 die Rockgruppe In Spe gegründet und bis 1983 für die Gruppe als Komponist, Flötist, Keyboarder und Sänger gearbeitet. Als Teil der lebhaften Szene der Zeitgenössischen Musik Estlands unternahm er instrumentale Studien an der Tallinn Music School, studierte Komposition mit Jaan Rääts an der Estonian Academy of Music und erhielt Unterricht bei Lepo Sumera. Intensive energiereiche Transformationen bilden den Hauptcharakter von Tüürs Werken, wobei instrumentale Musik im Vordergrund seiner Arbeit steht. Bis heute hat er neun Sinfonien, Stücke für Sinfonie- und Streichorchester, neun Instrumentalkonzerte, ein breites Spektrum an Kammermusikwerken und eine Oper komponiert. Tüür möchte mit seiner Musik existenzielle Fragen aufwerfen, vor allem die Frage: „Was ist unsere Aufgabe?“ beschäftigt ihn. Er stellte fest, dass dies eine wiederkehrende Frage von Denkern und Philosophen verschiedener Länder ist. Eins seiner Ziele ist es, die kreative Energie des Hörers zu erreichen. Tüür meint, die Musik als eine abstrakte Form von Kunst ist dazu fähig, verschiedene Visionen für jeden von uns und jedes individuelle Wesen zu erzeugen, denn wir sind alle einzigartig. Sein Kompositionsansatz ähnelt der Art und Weise, mit der ein Architekt ein mächtiges Gebäude wie eine Kathedrale, ein Theater oder einen anderen öffentlichen Ort entwirft. Er meint dennoch, dass die Verantwortung eines Komponisten über die eines Architekten hinausgeht, weil er Drama innerhalb des Raums mit verschiedenen Charakteren und Kräften konstruiert und dabei eine bestimmte, lebende Form von Energie kreiert.

    Here Has Been a Steady Production of Operas Since the Season 1918/19

    ESTONIAN NATIONAL OPERA Article provided by the Estonian National Opera At a glance The roots of the Estonian National Opera go back to 1865, when the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre. The ballet troupe began regular work in 1926, but the first full-length ballet, Delibes’s “Coppélia” was performed in 1922 already. Since 1998, the theatre is officially named the Estonian National Opera. Estonian National Ballet that operates under Estonian National Opera was founded in 2010. The Artistic Director and Chief Conductor is Vello Pähn, the Artistic Director of the Estonian National Ballet is Thomas Edur and the General Manager is Aivar Mäe. The theatre’s repertoire includes classical and contemporary operas, ballets, operettas and musicals. In addition, different concerts and children’s performances are delivered and compositions of Estonian origin staged. Estonian National Opera is a repertory theatre, giving 350 performances and concerts a year, being famous for its tradition of annual concert performances of rarely staged operas, such as Alfredo Catalani’s “La Wally”, Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra”, Rossini’s “Guillaume Tell”, Bizet’s “Les pêcheurs de perles”, Bellini’s “I Capuleti e i Montecchi”, “I puritani” and “Norma”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “The Tsar’s Bride” and “Snegurochka”, Strauss’ “Der Rosenkavalier”, etc. History of the Estonian National Opera In 1865, the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded in Tallinn. Acting was taken up in 1871. From 1895 onwards the society began to stage plays regularly, which usually included singing and dancing. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre called “Estonia Theatre” founded by the directors and actors Paul Pinna and Theodor Altermann.

Moderato — Allegro (ma non tanto) Dec. 6-8, 2019, page 1 PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA CARL NIELSEN Helios Overture, Opus 17 (1903) Carl Nielsen was born in Odense, Denmark on June 9, 1865, and died in Copenhagen on October 3, 1931. He composed his Helios Overture in 1903, and it was premiered by the Danish Royal Orchestra conducted by Joan Svendsen on October 8, 1903. These performances mark the Pittsburgh Symphony premiere of the work. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani and strings. Performance time: approximately 12 minutes. On September 1, 1889, three years after graduating from the Copenhagen Conservatory, Nielsen joined the second violin section of the Royal Chapel Orchestra, a post he held for the next sixteen years while continuing to foster his reputation as a leading figure in Danish music. His reputation as a composer grew with his works of the ensuing decade, most notably the Second Symphony and the opera Saul and David, but he was still financially unable to quit his job with the Chapel Orchestra to devote himself fully to composition.

    Analysing the Brand-Building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950S to 2010S

    How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s Joel Valkila Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in International Business… 2020 Abstract 20 May, 2020 Author(s) Joel Valkila Degree programme International Business Report/thesis title Number of pages How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-build- and attachment ing of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s pages 95 The aim of this study was to analyse the brand building of Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928– 2016), one of the most successful names in Finnish music exports of the last decades. The purpose is to collect a resource on how composers, publishers, record companies and other affiliates can support the personal branding and promotion of music artists and com- posers. For this qualitative study, Rautavaara’s own writings were used as primary data and com- bined with secondary data from archival and documentary research. Interviews with indi- viduals from the music industry were also conducted. This information enables us to see in detail the marketing efforts on Rautavaara’s music that intensified since the 1990s, and how they affected the composer’s brand. The analysis of the composer’s brand also in- cludes, besides various branding theories, the composer’s sonic and visual branding. This study can be a helpful resource for artists, composers, recording companies and pub- lishers in enabling them to identify features that can be of benefit in marketing and brand- ing efforts. Key findings of this study suggest that building a brand for an artist, such as a composer, is a long-term process that requires time and effort.
