    Explore Unknown Music with the Toccata Discovery Club Since you’re reading this booklet, you’re obviously someone who likes to explore music more widely than the mainstream offerings of most other labels allow. Toccata Classics was set up explicitly to release recordings of music – from the Renaissance to the present day – that the microphones have been ignoring. How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it. To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press. A modest annual membership fee brings you, free on joining, two CDs, a Toccata Press book or a number of album downloads (so you are saving from the start) and opens up the entire Toccata Classics catalogue to you, both new recordings and existing releases as CDs or downloads, as you prefer. Frequent special offers bring further discounts.

    Program Notes Anthony Mcgill, Clarinet Anna Polonsky, Piano

    Program Notes Anthony McGill, clarinet Anna Polonsky, piano Brahms: Clarinet Sonata No. 2 Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was close to retiring when he heard a performance by clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld and was so deeply moved by his musical artistry that he deferred his retirement to compose four final works, all of which feature the clarinet in a starring role, including the two Clarinet Sonatas. The second sonata Opus 120, No. 2 in E-flat Major is made of up of four movements. The first movement is imbued with a sweetness that reflects Brahms’s own musical directions to the performers: Allegro amiable, a directive to play “…in a charming, gracious” manner. The second movement is a tour de force, marked “Apassionato, ma non troppo allegro” meaning with passion and features a Sostenuto middle section that is lyrical and dignified. The gentle third movement consists of a set of variations and is followed by a fourth movement defined by exuberance and joy. James Lee III: Ad Anah? James Lee III was born in Michigan in 1975. His major composition teachers include William Bolcom, Susan Botti and James Aikman. He was a composition fellow at Tanglewood Music Center in the summer of 2002, where he studied with Osvaldo Golijov and Kaija Saariaho. Mr. Lee’s works have been performed by orchestras including The National Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Lee, who earned a DMA in composition at the University of Michigan in 2005, is a Professor of Music at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. This beautiful composition, Ad Anah? means “How Long?” It is based on a Hebrew Prayer, and in the words of Anthony McGill before a recent performance, this short song reflects “…what we’re going through in this time…the struggle.” Clarinetist Anthony McGill serves as the principal clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic and serves on the faculty of the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music and Bard College Conservatory of Music.

    Tchaikovsky Rachmaninoff Piano Trio Trio Élégiaque No.1

    95632 Tchaikovsky Rachmaninoff Piano Trio Trio élégiaque No.1 Klára Würtz · Dmitri Makhtin · Alexander Kniazev Tchaikovsky’s negative sentiments towards the piano trio were clearly set out in a letter of October 1880 to his patron, Nadezhda von Meck, in response to her enthusiastic praise for one composed by her resident pianist – a young Frenchman Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) called Claude Debussy (a piece long thought lost but rediscovered in 1985). In Piano Trio in A minor Op.50 “In 4. Trio élégiaque No.1 rejecting her hint that he should write something similar, Tchaikovsky elaborated on memory of a great artist” in G minor 13’16 his antipathy to the format, not only on principle – the characteristics of violin, cello 1. Pezzo elegiaco: Moderato assai – and piano being in his view inherently incompatible – but for the purely subjective Allegro giusto 18’26 reason that their combination would be “pure torment” for him (notwithstanding 2. Tema con variazioni: the passages for exactly those instruments in the second movement of the recently Andante con moto 18’16 completed Second Piano Concerto). While conceding that other composers, notably 3. Variazione finale (Allegro Beethoven Mendelssohn and Schumann, had produced excellent examples, he could risoluto e con fuoco) e coda not be tempted in that direction. And that seemed to be that. (Andante con moto-Lugubre) 7’33 The sudden death in Paris of Nikolai Rubinstein on March 23rd 1881 seems to have been the catalyst for an abrupt change of mind. Although their relationship had always been prickly – Rubinstein had famously damned the First Piano Concerto as, among other things, badly written and vulgar – it was based on solid friendship and mutual respect and Tchaikovsky was devasted by the news.

Plus moderne qu’on ne le dit souvent, il est en réalité le chaînon manquant entre deux mondes, tissant incessamment des liens entre un héritage pluriséculaire (les cloches des églises de son enfance, les thèmes de chants grégoriens) et une liberté formelle nouvelle (ce dont témoigne pleinement le programme de ce soir : poème symphonique, fantaisie pour piano et orchestre, symphonie chorale). L’Île des morts Après avoir quitté sa Russie natale, c’est à Dresde que Rachmaninov choisit de s’installer avec sa femme et leur fille Irina – Tatiana, leur seconde fille, y naîtra en 1907. Ce choix n’a rien d’arbitraire : Rachmaninov aime le calme, mais il a également besoin d’un environnement culturel riche et de haut niveau.
