March 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 MARCH 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer The recording that we are most excited about this month has to be the brand new St John Passion from the Dunedin Consort. Ever since their stunning release of Handel’s Messiah on the Linn label, each new offering has been eagerly awaited and this latest venture certainly doesn’t disappoint. Due out on 18th March, we have arranged for it to be available at a very special price for all those who order it in advance - see p.2 for details. Boulez is back with Mahler this month, this time exploring the lesser-recorded Das Klagende Lied with Anna Prohaska and Dorothea Roschmann - well worth a try. Other items we are looking forward to are the second instalment of Barry Douglas’ Brahms cycle for Chandos, Christina Pluhar’s Mediterraneo for Virgin Classics and Sir Mark Elder’s issue of Vaughan Williams’ Symphonies 5 & 8 on the Halle label. There also appears to be an abundance of new bargain boxsets this month, including items focused on Vladimir Ashkenazy (Decca), Sir John Eliot Gardiner (DG Archiv), Boult’s Vaughan Williams (EMI), Klemperer’s Mozart Operas (EMI), Byron Janis (Sony), Jascha Heifetz (Sony) and Wagner (also Sony). These can all be found under the relevant label sections - great value for collectors. Hungaroton have recently agreed a new distribution arrangement in the UK and this month we are able to feature a special offer on the entire label for the first time in a while. In fact, we have a bit of a focus on independent labels this month - other offers include the catalogues of Timpani, Aparte, Eloquentia and the Barbirolli Society, all well worth exploring. Euroarts also feature for DVD and Blu-ray lovers with a 4 page selection listed towards the end of this catalogue. Enjoy! The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35!

However, order it before the release date of 18th March and receive it for just £10.95! This is the premiere recording of J S Bach's St John Passion heard for the first time within its original liturgical context. This recording marks the return of Dunedin Consort's star-studded cast, including Nicholas Mulroy, Matthew Brook, Robert Davies, Joanne Lunn and Clare Wilkinson. Director John Butt has given listeners an interpretation that will provide a refreshing outlook on this masterpiece and will show the John Passion in a completely new light. The Consort recreate the context of a passion performance during Bach's time at Leipzig; the University of Glasgow Chapel Choir (directed by James Grossmith) and a congregational choir of amateur singers perform motets and chorales from an original Leipzig hymn book and John Butt takes centre stage to perform organ preludes on the Collins organ at Greyfriar's Kirk in Edinburgh, where the recording took place. Highly recommended!

  • APRIL 2009 LIST See Inside for Valid Dates
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 APRIL 2009 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer As the weather here becomes positively agreeable and the evenings lengthen, we offer you a cornucopia of delights containing both new growth and old returning favourites in a seductively priced spring bouquet - we hope you cannot resist! The major new release this month is Angela Hewitt’s re-visit of the Bach 48, a fresh look at this masterpiece of the keyboard repertoire. The reports indicate a quite different approach from her original recordings a decade ago, resulting from her years of performing and living with this music - a ‘new-found freedom’ as Ms Hewitt calls it. We have made it available at a special price for this list, along with reductions on the whole of her Hyperion back catalogue. The LSO Live Gergiev Mahler series continues with Symphony no.8 recorded in the mammoth acoustic of St Paul’s Cathedral. DG, in this Handel year, provide us with the first ever studio recording of his neglected Ezio, first performed in London in 1732 and a fine example of ‘opera seria’. For fans of the Gheorghiu/Alagna duo, there is a fascinating new world premiere recording on the Larghetto label (see page 8) of excerpts from a little known opera by Vladimir Cosma, Marius and Fanny, inspired by the writings of Marcel Pagnol. As always, we have negotiated reduced price offers - HM Gold, Praga, Delphian, Accord, Handel sets on Hyperion, EMI Gemini and British Composers, and the Medici Arts DVD catalogue. Make the most of them.

As Wieck’s arguments fell away and it became clear that the young lovers would soon be able to marry, Schumann entered an extraordinary phase of compositional productivity. During 1840 and into 1841 – known as the composer’s Liederjahr or ‘year of song’ – he composed no fewer than 125 Lieder, casting them off at white heat, sometimes at the rate of two a day. This prodigious activity continued into the next year, when he turned his mind to the orchestra, composing the First Symphony and the original version of the Fourth, along with the Overture, Scherzo and Finale and the piano Phantasie, which was to become the first movement of the Piano Concerto a few years later.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.
