September 2014 Representing Today’S Great Labels This Month's Highlights CONSUMER INFORMATION SERVICE: NO. 272 SEPTEMBER 2014 REPRESENTING TODAY’S GREAT LABELS THIS MONTH'S HIGHLIGHTS Select Music and Video Distribution Limited 3 Wells Place, Redhill, Surrey RH1 3SL Tel: 01737 645600 Fax: 01737 644065 George Frideric HANDEL Highlight of the month Arias Radamisto: Quando mai, spietata sorte Alcina: Mi lusinga il dolce affetto; Verdi prati; Stà nell’Ircana; Hercules: There in myrtle shades reclined; Cease, ruler of the day, to rise; Where shall I fly? Giulio Cesare in Egitto: Cara speme, questo core Ariodante: Con l’ali di costanza; Scherza infida!; Dopo notte Alice Coote The English Concert, Harry Bicket Hyperion is delighted to present a tour de force from the supreme mezzo-soprano of today, Alice Coote, accompanied by The English Concert and Harry Bicket, making their Hyperion debut. Coote performs a selection of Handel’s greatest arias from opera and CDA67979 oratorio, employing an extraordinary range of vocal and dramatic colour, tone and emotion to produce triumphant and moving interpretations of these masterpieces. Piano Sonatas Nikolai MEDTNER: Skazki, Op. 20; Sonata in B flat minor ‘Sonata Romantica’, Op. 53, No. 1 Sergei RACHMANINOV: Variations on a theme of Corelli; Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor Steven Osborne Steven Osborne has become increasingly admired for his performances and recordings of Russian romantic piano music, playing with a remarkable level of authority and a rare combination of technical ease, tonal CDA67936 lustre and idiomatic identification. Here he presents an impressive selection from two masters who lived and worked contemporaneously. Both were renowned concert pianists, and both wrote superbly for their instrument. Yet their reputations could not be more divergent. Rachmaninov utterly loved; Medtner only now becoming rehabilitated. William BYRD The Three Masses Mass for five voices; Mass for four voices; Mass for three voices; Ave verum corpus Westminster Cathedral Choir, Martin Baker A new recording of the most perfect of Tudor masterpieces: Byrd’s three Mass-settings, from the cradle of their CDA68038 nineteenth-century rehabilitation. Westminster Cathedral Choir is enjoying a vintage period, and here we hear its trademark sound in all its glory: unfettered, natural singing from the trebles underpinned by warm yet clear tones from the gentlemen. Camille SAINT-SAËNS The Romantic Cello Concerto, Vol. 5 Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33; Cello Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 119; La muse et le poète, Op. 132; Allegro appassionato, Op. 43; Le cygnet Natalie Clein BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Andrew Manze CDA68002 Natalie Clein adds a remarkable collection of Saint-Saëns’ music for cello and orchestra to her impressive discography. Clein first came to prominence when she won the 'BBC Young Musician of the Year' award in 1994; it is appropriate that she now performs the music of another extraordinary child prodigy. Johannes BRAHMS The Songs of Brahms, Vol. 5 Romanzen aus L Tieck’s Magelone, Op. 33 Christopher Maltman, Graham Johnson A new recording from renowned recitalist and winner of the Lieder Prize at the 1997 'Cardiff Singer of the World Competition', Christopher Maltman. Graham Johnson is both accompanist and curator of this series that presents CDJ33125 the entire piano-accompanied songs and vocal works of Johannes Brahms. William WALLACE Georgy CATOIRE Creation Symphony & other Piano Music orchestral works CDH55465 Marc-André Hamelin CDH55425 BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Martyn Brabbins (from CDA67090) (from CDA66987) 2 SEPTEMBER 2014 Joseph HAYDN Highlight Piano Concertos of the month Concerto in F major; Concerto in G major; Concerto in D major Jean-Efflam Bavouzet Manchester Camerata, Gábor Takács-Nagy Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is recognised today as one of the world’s finest interpreters of Haydn’s piano works, International Piano having described him as ‘Haydn’s greatest contemporary keyboard exponent’. In this concerto recording he performs in partnership with the conductor Gábor Takács-Nagy, the two united by an admiration for Haydn’s infectious good humour and art of the unexpected. CHAN 10808 Felix MENDELSSOHN Mendelssohn in Birmingham, Vol. 2 Symphony No. 1; Symphony No. 3; Overture to ‘Ruy Blas’ City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Edward Gardner CHSA 5139 Edward Gardner and the CBSO present Vol. 2 in their series 'Mendelssohn in Birmingham', this time performing Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 and the Overture to Ruy Blas. The impressive first volume was roundly praised, IRR commending the ‘powerfully engaging and alert performances’ whilst the Sunday Times made it their ‘Album of the Week’. Czech Violin Music v Leoš JANÁCEK: Violin Sonata; Allegro; Romance; Dumka; Josef SUK: Four Pieces, Op. 17; v Antonín DVORÁK: Romantic Pieces, Op. 75; Nocturne in B major, Op. 40 Jennifer Pike, Tom Poster CHAN 10827 Since bursting onto the musical scene as a prodigiously talented youngster, Jennifer Pike has earned admirers the world over with her intelligent musicianship and dazzling technique. Her stunning recent recording of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, described in The Mail on Sunday as an ‘auspicious entry into the big league’, confirmed her status as a truly outstanding soloist of the highest calibre. Here she is joined by her established duo partner Tom Poster in music for violin and piano by three great Czech composers. Celtic Reflections My Lagan Love; Irish Lullaby; Home Away from Home; The Cliffs of Dooneen; Carrickfergus; The Coolin; Inis*; She Moved through the Fair*; The Mushroom Tree*; The Kid on the Mountain*; Danny Boy; The Raggle Taggle Gypsy; The Last Rose of Summer; Down by the Sally Gardens; The Pleasant Rocks; Open the Door Softly; The Lamentation of Eoin O’Neill; Planxty Dillon CHAN 10821 Barry Douglas, Eimear McGeown* Barry Douglas is best-known for his celebrated performances of great works central to the classical repertoire, not least through his acclaimed Brahms and Schubert series on Chandos. In his new disc, Celtic Reflections, we hear another side to his musical life. Sir Arnold BAX Four Orchestral Pieces; Phantasy for Viola and Orchestra; Overture; Elegy and Rondo Philip Dukes BBC Philharmonic, Sir Andrew Davis CHAN 10829 Sir Andrew Davis is among the most distinguished interpreters of British music today and here turns to the works of Sir Arnold Bax. With the inclusion of the Phantasy for Viola and Orchestra, this disc marks the completion of Chandos’s long-running project to record Bax’s complete orchestral music. Nikolai RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Sheherazade Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Peter Oundjian This disc marks the beginning of a new recording relationship between Chandos and the Toronto Symphony CHSA 5145 Orchestra. Conducting this performance of Rimsky-Korsakov’s ever-popular symphonic suite Sheherazade is Peter Oundjian, who this season celebrates his tenth year as Music Director of the Orchestra. Thomas TOMKINS When David Heard Sacred Choral Music Freddie James CHAN 0804 Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge, Andrew Nethsingha Thomas Tomkins, born in 1572, was one of the most accomplished and versatile English composers of his era. A total mastery of contrapuntal technique and expressive intensity are hallmarks of his style. Here the Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge performs a collection of choral works complemented by several pieces for organ. SEPTEMBER 2014 3 Kalevi AHO (b. 1949) Concerto for Horn and Chamber Orchestra Acht Jahreszeiten Concerto for Theramin and Chamber Orchestra Annu Salminen, Carolina Eyck Lapland Chamber Orchestra, John Storgårds Widely regarded as one of today’s most important composers of orchestral music, Kalevi Aho has written fifteen symphonies as well as over twenty concertos. This disc also includes a video clip, playable on your computer, with Carolina Eyck’s introduction to the BIS2036 theremin and to Kalevi Aho’s concerto. John PICKARD (b. 1963) Eden for brass band Symphony No. 4 ‘Gaia Symphony’ for brass band and percussion Eikanger-Bjørsvik Musikklag, Andreas Hanson Composed over a period of fourteen years, John Pickard’s Gaia Symphony and Eden are scored for the standard ‘British’ brass band.

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.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV (1891-1953) Sergei Prokofiev, born in Sontsovka, in the Ekaterinoslav district of the Ukraine, began piano lessons at age three with his mother, who also encouraged him to compose. It soon became clear that the child was musically precocious, writing his first piano piece at age five and playing the easier Beethoven sonatas at age nine. He continued training in Moscow, studying piano with Reinhold Gliere, and in 1904, entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory where he studied harmony and counterpoint with Anatoly Lyadov, orchestration with Rimsky- Korsakov, and conducting with Alexander Tcherepnin.

    TOCCATA Alfred CLASSICS SCHNITTKE Discoveries Yellow Sound: stage composition for pantomime, instrumental ensemble, soprano and mixed chorus Dialogue for cello and ensemble Six Preludes for piano Magdalina for mezzo soprano and piano Variations for string quartet Artists include Liora Grodnikaite, mezzo soprano Alexander Ivashkin, cello Oleh Krysa, violin Drosostalitsa Moraiti, piano Bolshoi Soloists’ Ensemble Alexander Lazarev, conductor SCHNITTKE DISCOVERIES by Alexander Ivashkin This CD presents a series of ive works from across Alfred Schnittke’s career – all of them unknown to the wider listening public but nonetheless giving a conspectus of the evolution of his style. Some of the recordings from which this programme has been built were unreleased, others made specially for this CD. Most of the works were performed and recorded from photocopies of the manuscripts held in Schnittke’s family archive in Moscow and in Hamburg and at the Alfred Schnittke Archive in Goldsmiths, University of London. Piano Preludes (1953–54) The Piano Preludes were written during Schnittke’s years at the Moscow Conservatory, 1953–54; before then he had studied piano at the Moscow Music College from 1949 to 1953. An advanced player, he most enjoyed Rachmaninov and Scriabin, although he also learned and played some of Chopin’s Etudes as well as Rachmaninov’s Second and the Grieg Piano Concerto. It was at that time that LPs irst became available in the Soviet Union, and so he was able to listen to recordings of Wagner’s operas and Scriabin’s orchestral music. The piano style in the Preludes is sometimes very orchestral, relecting his interest in the music of these composers.

  • Lydia Chernicoff, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2019
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PARADOX AND PARALLEL: ALFRED SCHNITTKE’S WORKS FOR VIOLIN IN CONTEXT Lydia Chernicoff, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2019 Dissertation Directed By: Professor JaMes Stern, School of Music In his works for violin, Alfred Schnittke explores and challenges the traditional boundaries of Western composition. This dissertation project is founded on the conviction that these works by Schnittke, despite their experiMental and idiosyncratic nature, hold an integral place in the standard violin repertoire as well as in the broader canon of Western classical music. The argument will be supported by three recital prograMs that place the works in the context of that canon and an investigation of how Schnittke’s compositional language relates to that of the western European composers, revealing his complex and distinctive voice. By tracking his deconstruction and reworking of the music of other composers, we see Schnittke’s particular formality and musical rhetoric, as well as his energetic and artistic drive, and we see that his works are not merely experiMental—they renew the forms whose boundaries they transgress, and they exhibit a gravity, a tiMelessness, and a profound humanity, earning the composer his rightful place in the lineage of Western classical music. The first and third recitals were performed in Ulrich Recital Hall, and the second recital was performed in Gildenhorn Recital Hall, all at the University of Maryland. Recordings of all three recitals can be accessed at the University of Maryland Hornbake Library.

It is the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Wolfgang Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. His musical talents revealed themselves at a tender age. Well before his teens father Leopold took him and his likewise gifted older sister Nannerl on several tours through Europe. Soon he became a widely known and admired child prodigy of an unsurpassed class of his own. Already at eight years old his first music was being published. It was the beginning of an astonishing career. The sheer amount of music he wrote is, with hindsight, incredible and of high quality. Amadeus must have written very fast to manage composing the over 600 works he left to posterity. His manuscripts hardly contain any deletions. Mozart’s versatility is impressive too. He wrote anything from simple canons for keyboard to large-scale symphonies and operas on a great variety of librettos.
