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!
