Dear Customer, As summer gives way to autumn (for those of us in the northern hemisphere at least), the record labels start rolling out their big guns in the run-up to the festive season. This year is no exception, with some notable high-profile issues: the complete Tchaikovsky Project from the Czech Philharmonic under Semyon Bychkov, and Richard Strauss tone poems from Chailly in Lucerne (both on Decca); the Beethoven Piano Concertos from Jan Lisiecki, and Mozart Piano Trios from Barenboim (both on DG). The independent labels, too, have some particularly strong releases this month, with Chandos discs including Bartók's Bluebeard’s Castle from Edward Gardner in Bergen, and the keenly awaited second volume of British tone poems under Rumon Gamba. Meanwhile Hyperion bring out another volume (no.79!) of their Romantic Piano Concerto series, more Machaut from the wonderful Orlando Consort (see our cover picture), and Brahms songs from soprano Harriet Burns. Another Hyperion Brahms release features as our 'Disc of the Month': the Violin Sonatas in a superb new recording from star team Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien (see below). Opera fans will be eager to hear the latest from Opera Rara, Puccini's Les Willis in its original form, with an impressive cast under Mark Elder. Meanwhile the Bru Zane label brings out the early (1859) version of Gounod’s Faust, with Véronique Gens leading a strong team under Christophe Rousset. On Harmonia Mundi, Raphaël Pichon and his excellent Pygmalion ensemble explore Mozart's development between Die Entführung and the Da Ponte operas by way of a hypothetical dramma giocoso imaginatively constructed from concert arias. Other vocal releases include a Soirée from Magdalena Kožená and friends on Pentatone (with Simon Rattle on piano), a marine-themed disc of orchestral songs from contralto Nicole Lemieux on Erato, and a spectacular anniversary performance of Berlioz's Requiem from John Nelson and the Philharmonia – complete on CD and DVD! Among instrumental releases, Ivo Pogorelich’s first new disc for two decades, featuring sonatas by Beethoven and Rachmaninov on Sony, looks especially compelling, and piano buffs will be pleased to see historical boxes of Backhaus (Decca) and Horowitz (Sony) too. As ever, we have a variety of special offers with which to tempt you: popular labels including Audite and Delphian, Danish label DaCapo on their 30th birthday, British music from EM Records, Russian rarities from Northern Flowers, more Russian fare from the Mariinsky own-label, and LSO Live celebrating its 20th anniversary. We have selected titles from CPO at a generous 40% discount, and DVD & Blu-ray collectors are treated to 60% off clearance titles from the Arthaus catalogue.

It was one of his songs to a poem by his friend Klaus Groth that provided Brahms with Offer available while stocks last. the germ of his Violin Sonata in G major, op.78 – so much so that the work is sometimes known as the ‘Regenlied’ sonata. The sonata’s atmosphere was described by the music critic Eduard Hanslick as being one of ‘resigned reconciliation’. According to Max Kalbeck, Brahms’s Violin Sonata in A major, op.100, was written ‘in anticipation of the arrival of a beloved lady friend’. In keeping with the sonata’s predominantly lyrical character, it begins with a song-like theme (Hanslick noted its similarity to the ‘prize song’ from Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg). The fruitful summer months of 1886 also saw Brahms compose his F major cello sonata, op.99, and the dark and dramatic piano trio in C minor, op.101. A fourth chamber work, the Violin Sonata in D minor, op.108, seems to have been completed in all essentials that same year in Hofstetten. 2 PRIORITY NEW RELEASES DG and Decca Strauss, R Adams Also sprach Zarathustra, Short Ride in a Fast Tod und Verklarung, Machine, Harmonielehre, Till Eulenspiegel Common Tones Lucerne FO, Chailly Montreal SO, Nagano £12.50 £12.50 Decca 483 3080 Decca 483 4938 due 13/9 Mozart John Williams Piano Trios Across the Stars Barenboim, Barenboim, (famous film themes) Soltani Mutter, The Recordings Arts £18.95 Orchestra of LA, Williams DG 483 7506 (2CD) due 13/9 £12.50 DG 479 7553 Also available Decca 777 9637 Milos The Sound of Silence – new album from guitarist Milos Karadaglic due 13/9 £12.50 DG 483 7289 Misha & Lily Maisky C20 Classics – Britten, Bartok, Stravinsky, Messiaen etc 2CD due 13/9 £16.95 DG 483 7429 Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas (r.1960) 8CD + Blu-ray Audio due 13/9 Kempff £43.95 Decca 779 6903 Andre Rieu My Music, My World – The Very Best of Andre Rieu 2CD due 20/9 £15.95 Decca 481 8165 Einaudi Seven Days Walking: Day Seven due 20/9 Einaudi;Mecozzi;Hasa £13.50 Wilhelm Backhaus The Complete Decca Recordings £76.95 Decca 483 4952 (39CD) due 13/9 Marking 50 years since the passing of Wilhelm Backhaus (5 July 1969), Decca brings together, for the first time, the artist’s complete recordings for the label.

Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), May, 1996, 282 pp., 101 tables, references, 127 titles. Though cadences have long been recognized as an aspect of modality, Gallus Dressier's treatise Praecepta musicae poeticae (1563) offers a new understanding of their relationship to mode and structure. Dressier's comments suggest that the cadences in the exordium and at articulations of the text are "principal" to the mode, shaping the tonal structure of the work. First, it is necessary to determine which cadences indicate which modes. A survey of sixteenth-century theorists uncovered a striking difference between Pietro Aron and his followers and many lesser-known theorists, including Dressier.

We would surely have preferred to blend our voices as we always have, in a live performance. But the pandemic opened the door to a new and different opportunity. As we saw the coronavirus wreak havoc around the world, it seemed natural to reach out to our friends in other locales and include them in this program. In our reimagined version of the Fauré Requiem, Ars Choralis is joined, from Belgium, by the Brussels Choral Society, the Magna Graecia Flute Choir of Calabria, Italy, the Dessoff Choirs from New York City, and, from New York, instrumentalists from the Albany area, New York City and the Hudson Valley.

In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis.

  • Pergolesi Giovanni Battista
    PERGOLESI GIOVANNI BATTISTA Compositore italiano (Iesi, Ancona, 4 I 1710 - Pozzuoli, Napoli, 17 III 1736) 1 Il bisnonno, F. Draghi, si era trasferito, intorno al 1635, da Pergola a Iesi. Il suo primogenito, Cruciano, sposò una donna di Iesi. Dall'ora la famiglia si chiamò Pergolesi e con questo nome anche Giovanni Battista Pergolesi firma, per esempio, il frontespizio dello Stabat Mater ed il Laudate pueri; perciò la grafia Pergolesi deve considerarsi autentica. Fin da fanciullo fu di gracile costituzione e soffrì ad una gamba. I suoi fratelli morirono giovani. Il ragazzo godette la protezione della piccola nobiltà di Iesi, ricevette il primo insegnamento di violino da F. Mondini, proveniente da Bologna e direttore della cappella comunale di Iesi, mentre il direttore della cappella del duomo, F. Santi, gli insegnò il contrappunto. A Iesi, come hanno accertato gli storici musicali locali, erano frequenti le esecuzioni pubbliche di drammi e di intermezzi, nel palazzo municipale, e probabilmente il giovane Pergolesi vi poté ascoltare musiche di A. Scarlatti e di A. Caldara. Secondo G. Santini, sarebbe stato il marchese Cardolo Maria Pianetti a mandare a Napoli il ragazzo per completarne l'istruzione. Studiò comunque nel conservatorio dei Poveri di Gesù Cristo (lo si ritrova sotto il nome di "Iesi" nelle liste, del resto lacunose, a partire dal 1725) ed entrò nella classe di violino diretta da D. De Matteis. Ma il suo talento si rivelò più rapidamente nella classe di composizione di G. Greco (fino al 1728) e poi di F. Durante, mentre la sua più vasta cerchia d'interessi si estendeva a F.
