July 2017 List July 2017 Catalogue Issue 15 Prices valid until Friday 25 August 2017 unless stated otherwise 0115 982 7500 The new Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall in Hamburg - see DVD and Blu-ray of the Grand [email protected] Opening Concert on C Major Entertainment Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, The Europadisc offices happen to be situated above a laundrette, which is lovely in winter, but not quite so pleasant when the temperatures are already sweltering outside! As I write, forecasters are threatening thirty degrees once again, but we plough on, perhaps just a little thankful that business is slightly quieter at this time of year… Two eagerly awaited Elgar titles arrive this month: Barenboim’s Dream of Gerontius, recorded live in Berlin last September with the stellar cast of Andrew Staples (as Gerontius), Thomas Hampson and Catherine Wyn-Rogers; and another fascinating issue from Somm exploring his works for military band, once again including some on CD for the first time. Other July highlights for us include Brabbins’s second instalment of Walton for Hyperion (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below); a beautifully compiled set of Kurtag’s works for ensemble and choir on ECM New Series; a second volume of Haydn String Quartets from the superb Chiaruscuro Quartet on BIS; works for cello and piano by Faure, again on BIS; and a follow-up to Veronique Gens’s hugely successful recital disc, ‘Neere’, entitled ‘Visions’ and featuring French Romantic arias by the likes of David, Godard, Saint-Saens, Franck and Massenet. There appear to be rather a lot of new DVDs for July, of particular note being the Grand Opening Concert from Hamburg’s new Elbphilharmonie (hence our front cover this month!), a wonderful DVD/Blu-ray combo pack of Ravel from the LSO under their music-director-in-waiting Sir Simon Rattle, and two Wagner productions from DG in the shape of Lohengrin (Dresden/Thielemann) and Parsifal (Bayreuth/Haenchen). New boxsets are not quite so numerous but titles to point out include a set of Legendary Conductors in DG’s excellent ‘111’ series, Gieseking’s recordings of Bach compiled into a 7CD set on DG, early performances of Mozart from Glyndebourne for fans of Busch (Fritz) on Warner Classics, 33 CDs of live recordings from Gunter Wand on Sony/RCA, and collections of Frieder Bernius and Erick Friedman, also both on Sony/RCA. We are pleased to have a large number of DVDs reduced this month, split over a boxset promotion covering c.500 titles and a selection from Euroarts (now at a much better price point due to a new manufacturing agreement with Warner). The complete catalogue of Nimbus is also discounted by 20% (over 1000 titles in total - see website for full listing), plus we have offers on CDs from Delphian, RCO Live, Piano Classics and Cobra. Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DISC OF THE MONTH Walton - Violin Concerto, Partita etc £11.95 Anthony Marwood, BBC Scottish SO, Martyn Brabbins or pay just Hyperion CDA 67986 £8.95 Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra follow up their definitive account of the symphonies (on CDA67794) with another outstanding album of Walton. if your order value From the sunlit Mediterranean lyricism of the Violin Concerto to the rousing Spitfire exceeds £50* Prelude and Fugue, this is the composer at the height of his powers. In 1936 Jascha * to qualify for the special price, Heifetz commissioned a violin concerto from Walton - a remarkable tribute to the your order value must exceed a total of £50 excluding this composer’s stature at that time. Walton was to take his time over the concerto, not recording and before any beginning serious work on it until early 1938. The solo part, as edited by Heifetz, could applicable carriage charges. Offer available while stocks last. be by no other composer and the orchestration is masterly. The success of the 1942 film The First of the Few - dramatizing the race to design and construct the Spitfire aircraft and the RAF’s success in the Battle of Britain - was due in no small part to Walton’s music, and this encouraged him to fashion from his score a patriotic concert piece. The Spitfire Prelude and Fugue was premiered in Liverpool in January 1943, in an all-Walton concert he conducted. For their fortieth anniversary, in 1958, the Cleveland Orchestra commissioned a new work from Walton. The resultant Partita for orchestra, intended to ‘be enjoyed straight off’ as Walton explained, is in three movements, the titles of which reinforce the composer’s love of the Mediterranean. The Variations on a theme of Hindemith were commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society, marking their 150th anniversary in 1963. The work fused a number of strands and formed one of Walton’s finest orchestral scores, but one whose subtleties doubtless led to it being misunderstood when it appeared. 2 PRIORITY NEW RELEASES DG and Decca Elgar Bach, JS The Dream of French Suites Gerontius Ashkenazy Wyn-Rogers, Staples, £11.50 Hampson, Staatskap 483 2150 Berlin, Barenboim £12.95 483 1585 (2CD) Classic FM 481 5680 Craig Ogden Summertime (deluxe reissue inc bonus tracks) £11.50 Decca 483 1494 Strauss, R Elektra 2CD + Blu-ray Audio Nilsson;Resnik;Collier;Stolze;Krause;VPO;Solti £24.95 Decca 483 1498 Strauss, R Salome 2CD + Blu-ray Audio Nilsson;Waechter;Stolze;Hoffman;VPO;Solti £24.95 111: The Conductors - Legendary Recordings £89.95 DG 479 7477 (40CD) Since its founding in 1898, Deutsche Grammophon has always stood for the highest standards of artistry and has been home to the greatest conductors in the world.

Here, the Yellow Label proudly celebrates the greatest conductors of their age who shaped the musical landscape from the 1930s to the present day.

Walter Gieseking: Complete Bach Recordings on DG £33.95 DG 479 7362 (7CD) Walter Gieseking’s Bach interpretations have long been celebrated and are still praised as being modern and contemporary.

For the first time, Deutsche Grammophon presents all these recordings, newly remastered, in one original jackets collection.

  • Shanghai Quartet 2020-21 Biography
    SHANGHAI QUARTET 2020-21 BIOGRAPHY Over the past thirty-seven years the Shanghai Quartet has become one of the world’s foremost chamber ensembles. The Shanghai’s elegant style, impressive technique, and emotional breadth allows the group to move seamlessly between masterpieces of Western music, traditional Chinese folk music, and cutting-edge contemporary works. Formed at the Shanghai Conservatory in 1983, soon after the end of China’s harrowing Cultural Revolution, the group came to the United States to complete its studies; since then the members have been based in the U.S. while maintaining a robust touring schedule at leading chamber-music series throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Recent performance highlights include performances at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Freer Gallery (Washington, D.C.), and the Festival Pablo Casals in France, and Beethoven cycles for the Brevard Music Center, the Beethoven Festival in Poland, and throughout China. The Quartet also frequently performs at Wigmore Hall, the Budapest Spring Festival, Suntory Hall, and has collaborations with the NCPA and Shanghai Symphony Orchestras. Upcoming highlights include the premiere of a new work by Marcos Balter for the Quartet and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo for the Phillips Collection, return performances for Maverick Concerts and the Taos School of Music, and engagements in Los Angeles, Syracuse, Albuquerque, and Salt Lake City. Among innumberable collaborations with eminent artists, they have performed with the Tokyo, Juilliard, and Guarneri Quartets; cellists Yo-Yo Ma and Lynn Harrell; pianists Menahem Pressler, Peter Serkin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Yuja Wang; pipa virtuoso Wu Man; and the vocal ensemble Chanticleer.
