May 2018 List May 2018 Catalogue Issue 25 Prices valid until Wednesday 27 June 2018 unless stated otherwise 0115 982 7500 [email protected] Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address5} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, Glorious sunshine and summer temperatures prevail as this foreword is being written, but we suspect it will all be over by the time you are reading it! On the plus side, at least that means we might be able to tempt you into investing in a little more listening material before the outside weather arrives for real… We were pleasantly surprised by the number of new releases appearing late April and into May, as you may be able to tell by the slightly-longer-than-usual new release portion of this catalogue. Warner & Erato certainly have plenty to offer us, taking up a page and half of the ‘priorities’ with new recordings from Nigel Kennedy, Philippe Jaroussky, Emmanuel Pahud, David Aaron Carpenter and others, alongside some superbly compiled boxsets including a Massenet Opera Collection, performances from Joseph Keilberth (in the ICON series), and two interesting looking Debussy collections: ‘Centenary Discoveries’ and ‘His First Performers’. Rachel Podger revisits Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Channel Classics (already garnering strong reviews), Hyperion offer us five new titles including Schubert from Marc-Andre Hamelin and Berlioz from Lawrence Power and Andrew Manze (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below), plus we have strong releases from Sandrine Piau (Alpha), the Belcea Quartet joined by Piotr Anderszewski (also Alpha), Magdalena Kozena (Supraphon), Osmo Vanska (BIS), Boris Giltberg (Naxos) and Paul McCreesh (Signum). Birgit Nilsson would have celebrated her 100th birthday this month so it is hugely pleasing to see Decca honour her with a beautifully presented 81 disc set of her complete recordings for Decca, DG and Philips. The sheer power of her voice with its wonderful clarity is still a favourite of many and we at Europadisc will inevitably be revisiting many of her performances over the coming weeks. Leonard Bernstein’s celebrations would have come slightly later in the year, but DG are getting in early and following up their recent ‘Complete Recordings’ boxset with a new anthology of his complete published works covering 26 CDs (plus 3 bonus DVDs). It is a true celebration of his versatility presented in the usual high-quality fashion. Signum, Ondine and MDG form the core of our full-price catalogue offers this month, with support from Brilliant Classics, Hyperion’s ‘Helios’ range, DVDs and Blu-rays from Bel-Air, and a selection of bargain doubles from Warner and Erato. Enjoy!

Stradivari viola he had recently acquired.

Berlioz was a devoted admirer of Weber. When he agreed, much against his will, to adapt Der Freischütz for the Paris Opéra in 1841, one of the things he did was to orchestrate Weber’s popular piano work Aufforderung zum Tanz (‘Invitation to the dance’) for the obligatory ballet (the director had suggested using movements from Berlioz’s symphonies, to which he received an indignant ‘No!’). Weber’s Andante und Rondo ungarese dates from 1809, during his years in Stuttgart. Although it was not published until 1938 with a piano reduction by Georg Schünemann, it appeared in 1816 with the solo part arranged for bassoon as Weber’s Op 35. The piece is better suited to the viola, having been written for his half-brother Fridolin, violist in the Hamburg orchestra. 2 PRIORITY NEW RELEASES Warner Classics and Erato Kennedy Meets Gluck Gershwin Orfeo ed Euridice Gypsy jazz arrangements (Napoli 1774 version) inspired by Stephane Jaroussky, Forsythe, Grappelli I Barocchisti, Fasolis £10.95 £10.95 9029 570794 due 18 May 9029 564213 due 11 May Motherland Solo Works for viola and Unaccompanied flute orchestra by Bartok, works from the baroque Dvorak, Shor and Walton and C20/21 Carpenter, Jurowski etc Pahud £10.95 £17.95 9029 569769 (2CD) 9029 570175 (2CD) Also available 9029 570494 In Between Piano works by F&F Mendelssohn and R&C Schumann due 18/5 Pacini £10.95 9029 570290 Ayana Tsuji Live in Montreal – Sibelius, Saint-Saens, Stravinsky Chiu;Montreal SO;Guerrero £10.95 9029 567641 Music for a Royal Wedding Clarke, Elgar, Handel, Howells, Mendelssohn, Puccini, Parry etc £6.95 Massenet Operas Werther, Manon, Thais, Don Quichotte, Herodiade, Sapho, Le Jongleur de Notre Dame £41.95 9029 568347 (16CD) The most comprehensive Massenet Opera collection ever released, this 16CD boxset pays tribute to the great French composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) and includes seven of his operas, of which some are milestones of the operatic repertoire (such as Werther, Manon or Thaïs), and others could be considered as rarities (Sapho or Hérodiade for example).

  • The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting
    Theory of Conducting – Chapter 1 The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting In a changing culture and a society that adopts and discards values (or anti-values) with a speed similar to that of fashion as related to dressing or speech, each profession must find out the roots and principles that provide an unchanging point of reference, those principles to which we are obliged to go back again and again in order to maintain an adequate direction and, by carrying them out, allow oneself to be fulfilled. Orchestral Conducting is not an exception. For that reason, some ideas arise once and again all along this work. Since their immutability guarantees their continuance. It is known that Music, as an art of performance, causally interlinks three persons: first and closely interlocked: the composer and the performer; then, eventually, the listener. The composer and his piece of work require the performer and make him come into existence. When the performer plays the piece, that is to say when he makes it real, perceptive existence is granted and offers it to the comprehension and even gives the listener the possibility of enjoying it. The composer needs the performer so that, by executing the piece, his work means something for the listener. Therefore, the performer has no self-existence but he is performer due to the previous existence of the piece and the composer, to whom he owes to be a performer. There exist a communication process between the composer and the performer that, as all those processes involves a sender, a message and a receiver.

His collaborations with orchestra have included appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic, the London and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, which he also conducted from the piano. Recitals have taken him to the Barbican Center in London and the Royal Festival Hall, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Carnegie Hall and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. His recordings include Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, which received the Choc du Monde de la Musique; the Grammy nominated Bach Partitas 1, 3 and 6 as well as a recording with works by his countryman Szymanowski. His album with solo works by Schumann received two BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2012, including the Recording of the Year. His recording of Bach's English Suites 1, 3 and 5 received the Gramophone Award for best instrumental album in 2015. After the solo album "Fantaisies" with works by Mozart and Schumann in February 2017, the Mozart Piano Concertos No. 25 & 27 with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe was recorded in January 2018.

The director Bruno Monsaingeon shot two award-winning documentaries about him for ARTE. The first, from 2001, sheds light on Anderszewski's special relationship to the Diabelli Variations, while the second, “Piotr Anderszewski, Traveler Without Rest” (2008) is an artist portrait and reflects Anderszewski's thoughts on music, concert activities and his Polish-Hungarian roots.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.
