April 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 APRIL 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer To start, please allow us to wish you all a very Happy Easter! This catalogue should be arriving with you around the festive time - please remember that we will be closed for the bank holiday on Monday 1st April. Universal Classics have produced another three bargain boxsets for release in April: the first one you will spot is the second volume of Mercury recordings (55CD). This is a limited edition set, so please don’t wait if you are keen to obtain a copy. The first set sold out quite quickly! Also being released is a 55CD set of recordings from DG’s ‘Archiv’ catalogue and a 13CD box of the complete works of Pierre Boulez - both are excellent value. April also sees the release of a brand new disc from Gramophone Award winners, Vox Luminis. Many of you will remember their beautiful Schutz recording from last year - this time they turn their attention to English Royal Funeral Music. It is available at a very special price, provided that you order it in April - see p.2. Other new releases worth a mention include Haydn piano albums from both Hamelin and Bavouzet, two major releases (Stravinsky/Rattle and Rossini/Pappano) from EMI and another recording of Berlioz from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Robin Ticciati. The rich catalogue of DVDs from VAI is reduced this month, alongside bargains from Hyperion Helios, beautiful presentations from Glossa and Alpha, niche genres from Regent and NMC and historical gems from Music and Arts and West Hill Radio Archives. Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35!

A second collection of 55 CDs from the acclaimed Mercury label, offering a wealth of recordings from the 1950s and 1960s in an unrivalled range of repertory. This ranges from solo Bach played by harpsichordist Rafael Puyana to American composer and conductor Howard Hanson in his own works as well as music by fellow-Americans. Key artists include Antal Dorati in works ranging from Beethoven to Bartók and Berg; Frederick Fennell, Rafael Kubelík, Paul Paray and János Starker. An extensive 182 page booklet includes new essays on the history and development of the Mercury label by Thomas Fine (son of Wilma Cozart Fine, legendary producer of the MLP label) and Mike Gray. Numerous photographs are included and full recording information is documented. When they say full recording information, they mean it too! All the detail collectors love to see is here: the microphones, the recording location, the original engineers, the subsequent remastering engineers, even the type of recording equipment. Two CDs of true rarities are also included: Dorati’s 1953 mono recording of The Rite of Spring; and making its first-ever appearance on CD is John Corigliano’s Piano Concerto. The CD also includes a rare 16 minute interview with Corigliano and pianist Hilde Somer.

  • 334 XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The
    XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The Sociology of Jazz By the early 1970s, as we have seen, jazz was in a state of stylistic chaos. This was one reason why the first glimmers of “smooth jazz” came about as both an antidote to fusion and an answer to “outside jazz.” But classical music was also in a state of chaos. The majority of listen- ers had become sick of listening to the modern music that had come to dominate the field since the end of World War II and had only become more abrasive and less communicative to a lay audience. In addition, the influx of young television executives in that period had not only led to the cancellation of many well-loved programs who they felt only appealed to an older audience demographic, but also the chopping out of virtually all arts programming. Such long-running programs as The Voice of Firestone and The Bell Telephone Hour were already gone by then. Leonard Bernstein had been replaced at the New York Philharmonic by Michael Tilson Thomas, an excellent conductor but not a popular communicator, and thus CBS’s “Young People’s Con- certs” no longer had the same appeal. In addition, both forms of music, classical and jazz, were the victims of an oil shortage that grossly affected American pressings of vinyl LPs. What had once been a high quality market was now riddled with defective copies of discs which had blis- ters in the vinyl, scratchy-sounding surfaces and wore out quickly. Record buyers who were turned off by this switched to cassette tapes or, in some cases, the new eight-track tape format.

Ph. Telemann est à Paris. Compositeur déjà reconnu dans une Allemagne qui célèbre le « bon gout » à la française, il a ainsi l'occasion de rencontrer ses collègues français et, surtout, d'écouter les musiciens parisiens jouer leur propre musique. Probablement a-t-il rencontré J. Ph. Rameau, dont les Pièces de Clavecin en Concert illustrent un genre très en vogue à l'époque dans la capitale, les pièces pour clavecin avec accompagnement d'instruments de dessus. Avec son sens de l'à-propos et de l'éloquence, l'ensemble Il Nuovo Concerto propose une rencontre musicale entre l'Allemagne et la France, autour de cette notion de « bon goût » qui a constitué une référence commune pour les musiciens du XVIIIe siècle. Après avoir travaillé le clavecin plusieurs années avec Yannick le Gaillard, Pascal Dubreuil obtient au CNSM de Paris ses premiers prix de clavecin et de basse continue.

    TEODORA GHEORGHIU - soprano CV Romanian soprano Teodora Gheorghiu has long made a name for herself as an outstanding interpreter of the lyric coloratura and belcanto repertoire. Making her debut at the Vienna State Opera at the age of only 25, she joined the company as a principal artist from 2007 to 2010, and has since been a regular guest on the stage of this prestigious opera house, where she sang a wide array of roles, including Adele in Die Fledermaus, the Queen of the Night, Nanetta, Fiakermilli, Adina in L’elisir d’amore, Elvira (L’Italiana in Algeri), Sophie (Werther), and Eudoxie (La Juive). Soon she was by being recognized as one of the world’s most exciting young talents. She has appeared in opera houses around the world, among them the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Opéra de Nancy, Bucharest National Opera House, the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Théâtre de la Monnaie, Opéra de Lausanne, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Osaka Festival Hall, the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, the Festival International d'Opéra Baroque de Beaune and the Glyndebourne Festival. In 2010, conductor Christophe Rousset approached her with an idea for her first recording, an homage to the 18th century soprano Anna De Amicis. The resulting album, on the Harmonia Mundi distributed Aparté label, included mostly premiere recordings of arias by Mozart, Gluck, Borghi, Cafaro and Mysliveček and was labeled “Disc of the Month” by International Record Review (which praised Gheorghiu’s “stunning vocalism”) and Opera Magazine, and was the “Disc of the Week” on BBC Radio for 3 consecutive weeks.

  • Beyond Simplicity Analytical Strategies for Contemporary Music
    Beyond Simplicity Analytical Strategies for Contemporary Music Daniel March D.Phil University of York Department of Music July 1997 Abstract Focusing on a repertoire which has often been dismissed for its apparent simplicity, this thesis indicates appropriate strategies for analytical study of this significant body of contemporary music, often termed 'minimalist' or 'post-minimalist', but in fact escaping any such easy classification. Traditional analytical approaches have most usually failed to account successfully for this music, concentrating on the more obvious aspects of its construction and ignoring the complexities that arise when perceived. As a result, the current approach marks an explicit turning towards a consideration of effect, capturing the ways in which different parameters interact and how traditional models of expectation are subverted. Viewed as the means of refining the intentional representation of an individual piece of music, analysis is reinscribed within a cultural network of understanding, both losing its pretence of objective formalism, and gaining a particular and well-defined role within a contemporary musicological context. The evolution of a number of different strategies is a response both to deconstructive and postmodern approaches to text, a recognition of the multiplicity inherent in the repertoire involved, and a general avoidance of clearly theoretical orientations for a more ad hoc process. Situated within discussion both of analytical considerations in general and of this repertoire in particular, the analyses of seven representative pieces of music considerably extend those that have been offered previously. Approaches adopting different aspects of deconstruction are used for discussion of music by Ligeti, Nyman and Andriessen, displaying a number of 'Disorderings' of traditional concepts of how music behaves; further analyses of pieces by Feldman, Reich, Skempton and Monk place greater emphasis on aspects of sound.
