Astonished by their size and power - "Handel is master of us all," he is said to have declared - he determined to write a similar work himself. Die Schöpfung was the result, though its exuberant hymning of the simple joys of life is pure Haydn. Five years after a much-acclaimed version of The Seasons, René Jacobs chooses this 'beginning' to make his major contribution on record to the celebration of the bicentenary of Haydn's death. CONCERT REVIEWS: "Julia Kleiter was the exemplary soprano, who made Jacobs's extra vocal embellishments sound completely natural, and Maximilian Schmitt gave notice of a well-schooled tenor voice to watch." Financial Times, January 2009 "In the medium-scale acoustic of the Barbican Hall, two German groups - the 40-strong RIAS Chamber Choir and the similarly sized Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, both under the skilled hands of conductor René Jacobs - proved near ideal. Many of Haydn's delightful touches of audio-visual detail - the sun and moon, the birds and beasts - came over with unusually vivid effect...Julia Kleiter's pristine vocalism moved around the soprano part with the same delicacy and skill as Maximilian Schmitt's around the tenor's."

The Italianate singing style of the melodic writing is both virtuosic and sonorous. Handel took Corelli's 'sonata da chiesa' model and with consummate ease, created sparklingly diverse and richly colourful works that are clearly stamped with his own unique stylistic signature. As a conductor, Richard Egarr has presented a wide range of repertoire - from Baroque opera and oratorio to works by 20th -century composers. He is Music Director of the Academy of Ancient Music, with whom he has recorded Bach Harpsichord Concertos and Brandenburg Concertos.Together they are currently releasing a series of Handel's Opp.1-7, of which the Solo Sonatas Op.1, the Concerti Grossi Op.3 and Organ Concertos Op.4 are already available.

ALSO AVAILABLE: HMC901985 Ligeti, Lux aeterna - Cappella Amsterdam et al "If the title track is the big draw here, the Dutch choir does not disappoint. The sopranos are tightrope walkers on the eternal, steady high note, staggering their breaths for a seamless sound. The held, unresolving clashes are thrilling, a torment one never wants to end. Ligeti's Viola Sonata, the Drei Phantasien, offers similar pleasures where the tenors push singing close to shouting in the mighty fortissimo." The Times "In this performance [of Lux aeterna] by the astoundingly good Capella Amsterdam it sounds more meditative and less apocalyptic than it did [in Kubrick's 2001], but no less haunting."

On 21 February 1842, the Polish composer gave one of his very rare con- certs: he did not enjoy appearing in public, for his music was above all a chamber art.Alain Planès has striven to recreate the programme of this concert as closely as possible and recorded it on a Pleyel piano of 1836 that the composer might have played.The questions he throws up in the process are fascinating: how did Chopin play? Apart from his famous rubato, what was the role of ornamentation, and indeed improvisation?
