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!

Mercury Living Presence Collector’s Edition vol.2 55CDs - £89.95 Decca 478 5092 Featuring conductors such as Rafael Kubelik, Frederick Fennell, Howard Hanson, Paul Paray & Antal Dorati. 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.
