April 2018 List April 2018 Catalogue Issue 23 Prices valid until Friday 25 May 2018 unless stated otherwise 0115 982 7500 Picture taken from cover of Dux DUX1426 ‘Schubert & Brahms Piano Quintets’ from the Silesian Chamber Soloists. [email protected] Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address5} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, Young conductor Robin Ticciati will be ending his tenure with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra this year, having now taken up a new position as principal conductor of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. It has proved to be a hugely successful partnership, as testified by many of the recordings they have made together for Linn (Berlioz and Schumann in particular). Their farewell gift is a complete cycle of Brahms’ Symphonies, eagerly anticipated by many, including ourselves at Europadisc. From snippets we have managed to hear in advance of release, it looks set to be a very special recording indeed: a fitting conclusion to the Ticciati/SCO chapter. Details are on p.4, and you can find our own review on the Europadisc website should you wish to read further thoughts. Having spent so many years focused on JS Bach, it is great to see Masaaki Suzuki and Bach Collegium Japan again tackling something a little different, this time in the shape of Beethoven’s great Missa Solemnis. We have picked this as our Disc of the Month for April and further information can be found below. Other new releases we are particularly looking forward to include: Vivaldi from I Barocchisti and soloists Julia Lezhneva, Franco Fagioli and Diego Fasolis (Decca); a new recording of Debussy’s La Mer from Emmanuel Krivine (Erato); the fifth and final instalment of Mozart’s Violin Sonatas from Alina Ibragimova and Cedric Tiberghien (Hyperion); an intriguing further recording of works by Bacewicz from the Silesian Quartet and friends (Chandos; their first recording won the Chamber category in the 2017 Gramophone Recordings of the Year); the start of a new series of Haydn Piano Sonatas from the superb Paul Lewis (Harmonia Mundi); and, amongst the archive releases, a series of three fascinating issues from ICA Classics featuring first-time-on-CD recordings from Bohm, Beecham, du Pre and Rostropovich. As usual, we have plenty of new special offers for you to peruse: the complete catalogues of CPO, Atma, Ricercar, Ramee, Opera Rara, RCO Live and NIFC are all now reduced; plus we have discounted selections from Warner’s ‘Icon’ boxset and ‘Apex’ budget series, and a wide variety of DVDs and Blu-rays from Warner, Erato, Euroarts and RCO Live. Finally - don’t miss our review of ‘Deux’ (p.39), the stunning recent release from Patricia Kopatchinskaja on Alpha, picked as a Gramophone Editor’s Choice and Disc of the Month in BBC Music Magazine! Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DISC OF THE MONTH Beethoven £11.95 Missa Solemnis or pay just Ann-Helen Moen, Roxana Constantinescu, James Gilchrist, Benjamin Bevan, Bach Collegium Japan, Masaaki Suzuki. £9.95 BIS BIS 2321 if your order value Beethoven began composing the Missa Solemnis in 1819, when he learned that his patron exceeds £50* (and pupil) Archduke Rudolph was going to be appointed Cardinal Archbishop of Olmütz. * to qualify for the special price, your order value must exceed a The plan was for the mass to be ready for performance at the enthronement celebrations total of £50 excluding this in March 1820, but one year proved to be too little time.

As might be expected, it was unparalleled in every respect – although composed for use during church services, even Beethoven’s contemporaries found that it exceeded the bounds of the genre. Beethoven himself was quite aware of both the dimensions and the importance of the work: in a letter he described it as ‘my greatest work’. It is also a work which over its course encompasses great contrasts: from the solemnity of the Kyrie and the intense excitement at the opening of the Gloria to the disturbing intimations of war during the closing Dona nobis pacem. Originally founded with the aim of performing the choral works of Bach, the Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki are now taking another great leap, after their recent release of Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor. Described as ‘refreshingly open-hearted, spontaneous and natural’ their interpretation received a 2017 Gramophone Award. Joined by an eminent quartet of vocal soloists, the team now applies its expertise in period performance to Beethoven’s masterpiece. 2 PRIORITY NEW RELEASES DG and Decca Prokofiev for Two Vivaldi Arrangements for Gloria, Nisi Dominus etc Two Pianos Lezhneva, Fagioli, Argerich, Babayan I Barocchisti £12.50 £12.50 DG 479 9854 Decca 483 3874 available at £11.50 until 27 April available at £11.50 until 27 April Gounod Holst The Planets Piano Works Strauss, R Also sprach Prosseda Boston SO, Steinberg £11.50 £19.95 Decca 481 6956 DG 479 8669 (CD + Blu-ray Audio Deluxe Edition) Warner Classics and Erato Panorama de la Guitare A World of Classical Guitar Music £59.95 9029 580172 (25CD) A treasury of the classical guitar: as a solo and concerto instrument, and as a partner to other instruments, in music from Europe and Latin America that spans five centuries.

PRIORITY NEW RELEASES Linn Brahms The Symphonies £18.95 CKD601 (2CD) As Robin Ticciati enters his final season with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Linn celebrates his memorable tenure as Principal Conductor with a recording of four of the most sublime orchestral masterpieces ever written. The recording legacy of these revolutionary and distinctive works serves to underscore the confidence Ticciati has, not only in his own vision for these symphonies, but also in his partnership with the SCO musicians, who relish Brahms’s highly virtuosic orchestral writing. Ahead of the SCO 2015/16 season, in which all four symphonies were performed, Ticciati set out his aims: ‘The challenge…is to find a Brahms sound with the orchestra. To find something so unbelievably dark, autumnal, and yet steeped in counterpoint.’ By 2017, that Brahms sound was perfected; Ticciati’s interpretations are both muscular and energized, with detail and life in every line. Ticciati’s meticulous control of tempo, phrase shape and balance results in performances of extraordinary transparency and colour.

  • 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.

Dear Customer, Glorious sunshine and summer temperatures prevail as this foreword is being written, but we suspect it will all be over by the time you are reading it! On the plus side, at least that means we might be able to tempt you into investing in a little more listening material before the outside weather arrives for real… We were pleasantly surprised by the number of new releases appearing late April and into May, as you may be able to tell by the slightly-longer-than-usual new release portion of this catalogue. Warner & Erato certainly have plenty to offer us, taking up a page and half of the ‘priorities’ with new recordings from Nigel Kennedy, Philippe Jaroussky, Emmanuel Pahud, David Aaron Carpenter and others, alongside some superbly compiled boxsets including a Massenet Opera Collection, performances from Joseph Keilberth (in the ICON series), and two interesting looking Debussy collections: ‘Centenary Discoveries’ and ‘His First Performers’. Rachel Podger revisits Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Channel Classics (already garnering strong reviews), Hyperion offer us five new titles including Schubert from Marc-Andre Hamelin and Berlioz from Lawrence Power and Andrew Manze (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below), plus we have strong releases from Sandrine Piau (Alpha), the Belcea Quartet joined by Piotr Anderszewski (also Alpha), Magdalena Kozena (Supraphon), Osmo Vanska (BIS), Boris Giltberg (Naxos) and Paul McCreesh (Signum).

  • Duo Sonatas and Sonatinas for Two Clarinets, Or Clarinet and Another Woodwind Instrument: an Annotated Catalog
    DUO SONATAS AND SONATINAS FOR TWO CLARINETS, OR CLARINET AND ANOTHER WOODWIND INSTRUMENT: AN ANNOTATED CATALOG D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yu-Ju Ti, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 D.M.A Document Committee: Approved by Professor James Pyne, co-Advisor Professor Alan Green, co-Advisor ___________________________ Professor James Hill Co-advisor Professor Robert Sorton ___________________________ Co-advisor Music Graduate Program Copyright by Yu-Ju Ti 2009 ABSTRACT There are few scholarly writings that exist concerning unaccompanied duet literature for the clarinet. In the late 1900s David Randall and Lowell Weiner explored the unaccompanied clarinet duets in their dissertations “A Comprehensive Performance Project in Clarinet Literature with an Essay on the Clarinet Duet From ca.1715 to ca.1825” and “The Unaccompanied Clarinet Duet Repertoire from 1825 to the Present: An Annotated Catalogue”. However, unaccompanied duets for clarinet and another woodwind instrument are seldom mentioned in the academic literature and are rarely performed. In an attempt to fill the void, this research will provide a partial survey of this category. Because of the sheer volume of the duet literature, the scope of the study will be limited to original compositions entitled Sonata or Sonatina written for a pair of woodwind instruments which include at least one clarinet. Arrangements will be cited but not discussed. All of the works will be annotated, evaluated, graded by difficulty, and comparisons will be made between those with similar style.

Slowly and Expressively Carol Biel, Piano (1900-1990) II. Rather Fast Cyrille Rose 40 Etudes, nos. 1, 12 Cyrille Rose (1830-1902) is one of the most important people in the history of the clarinet. With his teacher, Hyacinth Klosé, he sits at the beginning of a clarinet dynasty that would produce figures like Henri Lefèbvre(not to be confused with the marxist philosopher), who taught Daniel Bonade, who more or less created the modern American Orchestral clarinet sound as well as taught some of the most important American clarinetists. Among clarinetists, Rose is well known for his two books of clarinet studies, which are notable for both their pedagogical value and worth as concert material. The two selections I am performing are from part one of the second book of studies. Igor Stravinsky Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet (1919) Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) is a composer famous for his ballets, who also wrote in a great variety of styles and mediums. His work for solo clarinet, although written on a much smaller scale, has several stylistic elements that recall his more famous pieces, such as the Le Sacre du Printemps (1913), or L’histoire du Soldat (1918).

The birds are the opposite of Time; they are our desire for light, for stars, for rainbows, and for jubilant songs.” -Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time had one of the most remarkable premieres of the 20th century. Messiaen served in the French army during World War II and was captured by the Germans at Verdun in June 1940. He was sent to Stalag VIII-A in Görlitz, Germany (today in Poland), where he was imprisoned during the winter of 1940-41. The prisoner-of-war camp was bitterly cold and food was in short supply, but Messiaen’s fame helped him greatly. A sympathetic guard provided him with the materials to compose this quartet and arranged the premiere on January 15, 1941 in a barely heated hall in front of a few hundred spellbound prisoners and guards.
