But if you're one of the millions afflicted with a cardiac arrhythmia, the prospect of a steadily beating heart is music to your ears. At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, we wrote the book on arrhythmias and are leading the way with less invasive and more permanent treatments.

The new release includes Beethoven Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 11, Brahms Trio in A Minor, Op. 114, and the rarely recorded Dohnányi Sextet in C Major, Op. 37. Cohler and the Claremonts are joined by Boston Symphony Orchestra principal hornist James Sommerville and Borromeo Quartet violist Mai Motobuchi in the Dohnányi. The recordings of the Beethoven and Brahms have already been acclaimed by Fanfare Magazine as the best of the best. “...the recording is ideal...and the playing is uniformly lovely... I know of no finer recording of the Beethoven, and this one stands with the best classic versions of the Brahms.” The CD features the award-winning engineering of Brad Michel, and it was recorded in the beautiful acoustics of the Rogers Center for the Arts at Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts. Accompanying the CD is an in-depth 20-page booklet that gives a full and detailed explanation of the history behind these works. These detailed historical notes have become a hallmark of Ongaku Records releases that sets them apart from other recordings. This recording was produced using the latest in 24-bit digital recording technology, and was edited and mastered throughout in 24-bits to preserve the pristine audiophile quality sound for which Ongaku Records has become known.

    TOCC 0285 Dayas Organ Booklet Copy

    WILLIAM HUMPHREYS DAYAS, ONE OF LISZT’S LAST PUPILS by Jan Lehtola William Humphreys Dayas (1863–1903) was one of the last stars of the Franz Liszt piano school. In music for the organ, he is a forgotten member of the circle which included Liszt and Reubke. His two organ sonatas, especially the Second, take their place in a series beginning with Liszt’s Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale ‘Ad nos, ad salutarem undam’ (1850) and Reubke’s Sonata Der 94ste Psalm (1857). Dayas lef published copies of his organ sonatas to Richard Faltin (1835–1918), organist of what was then St Nicholas’s Church (now Helsinki Cathedral), which is how they came to be in the Sibelius Academy Library, where I discovered them in 1997. Written in ink in the score are some minor amendments probably made by Dayas himself. I came across Dayas’ transcription of the Tème varié (originally for piano), by Arthur H. Bird – another long-forgotten composer – entirely accidentally in the British Library in London in 2013. Very few people are familiar with Dayas’ organ sonatas. In the early years of the twentieth century they featured in the repertoire of such Finnish organists as Faltin and Karl Sjöblom (1861–1939), but as far as I know, I am the only organist to have performed these peices since his own day. Wherever I have done so – at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, St Tomas in Dresden and the Riga Dom, for example – they have met with astonishment and excitement, frstly because they are totally unfamiliar and secondly because they are so good.

The award-winning duo, comprising violinist William Terwilliger and pianist Andrew Cooperstock, has been hailed for its “unanimity of style and spirit, exemplary balance and close rapport.” Opus Two first came to international attention as winners of the United States Information Agency’s Artistic Ambassador Auditions in 1993 and has since performed across six continents, including major tours of Europe, Australia, South American, Asia, and Africa. Their US engagements include performances at Carnegie Hall, where they performed Haydn’s Double Concerto for Violin and Piano, Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall and a standing-room-only recital at New York’s Library for the Performing Arts. State Department associations have taken them to Japan, Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, France, Switzerland, Peru, Ghana, and Australia, and they have also held multiple residencies in China.
