Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

Richard Adeney 1920–2010 Tributes to the Great British Player
Richard Adeney 1920–2010 Tributes to the great British player Richard Adeney 25 January 1920–16 December 2010. ichard Adeney was one of the finest flute players of the twentieth century. In a long and distinguished orchestral career he was first flute in the London RPhilharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra, and appeared as a freelancer with many others. As a chamber musician he was a founder member of the Melos Ensemble, and he was a popular soloist and recording artist. Richard Adeney was born into a family of artists. His father, Bernard Adeney, had a short-lived marriage with his fellow artist Thérèse Lessore. When this marriage Richard Adeney at the age ended he introduced her to his friend Walter Sickert, who married her. Richard’s of eighty in 2000. mother, Noël, was an artist and textile designer. ‘I was named after that crackpot, the painter known early on as Walter Sickert, but later preferring to be called by his second name, Richard,’ he wrote. Adeney took up the flute at Bryanston School in Dorset and later studied at the Royal College of Music. When the Second World War broke out he applied for and, to his surprise, received conscientious objector status, which left him free to pursue a playing career. His earliest recordings were made on 78 RPM discs, and he participated in countless recordings on LPs, as a member of orchestras and chamber ensembles and as a soloist. His recordings with the Melos Ensemble of Debussy’s Sonate for flute, viola and harp and Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro remain for many the favourite performance of these works.

[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, Welcome to another bumper catalogue! It never ceases to amaze us how quickly our monthly publications get filled, especially when classical music was supposed to be ‘dead’ many years ago. New releases continue to number in their hundreds every month, and it is certainly not difficult to find superb back-catalogues to promote and explore. Our ‘Disc of the Month’ is as good a place as any to start for our new release highlights: Stephen Hough’s recitals for Hyperion never fail to ignite a spark of interest, and his latest compendium features a delightful selection of both romantic and light piano repertoire, many arranged by Hough himself. We have been thoroughly enjoying it in recent days, making it a clear choice for our pick in June - please find more information below. Another pianist we think deserves some attention this month is Kevin Kenner, who has recorded a brand new album of Chopin’s late works for Warner Classics. Kenner has long been associated with Chopin and his interpretations have been compared in the past to the likes of Rubinstein, Michelangeli and Lipatti, so it is pleasing to see him now receiving some long-overdue exposure on a major label in the UK.
