tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 FEBRUARY 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer As has been well publicised, 2013 marks the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, alongside the bi-centenaries of the births of Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi. All clearly made significant contributions to classical music history, so we are celebrating the anniversaries this month by offering great reductions on relevant issues from DG, Decca and EMI. There are several landmark recordings featured from the likes of Britten himself, Karajan, Solti, Muti, Abbado and more. See pp.12-14 for titles from DG and Decca, and p.18 for titles from EMI. New releases also feature the celebratory composers: titles worth pointing out are the limited edition Complete Verdi box set from DG that promises to be a popular collector’s item, two new Britten box sets from EMI, the recent recording of Die Walkure from Gergiev and the Mariinsky forces, plus a recital of Wagner from tenor Jonas Kaufmann. One of our new special offers this month features a label that has not been seen on our lists for some time: Symposium. Many of you are fans of historical issues and Symposium have a fascinating catalogue that largely covers recordings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This may prove too early even for keen historical collectors, but we have managed to secure some very special prices and hope that they might spark a bit of interest. Other new offers this month include selected box sets from Chandos, the Onyx, Somm, CRD and Heritage labels, and a fantastic range of DVDs from DG, Decca and EMI. Best regards as always from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35!
