Joseph MARX (1882–1964) Orchestral Works, Vol. 2 Alt-Wiener Serenaden • Partita in modo antico Sinfonia in modo classico Bochum Symphony Orchestra • Steven Sloane

Joseph Marx was described by Wilhelm Furtwängler as one of the leading figures in Austria’s music scene, and while his music disappeared completely from concert programmes after his death he ‘shaped an era’ and left a profound impression on several generations of composers. Marx made no secret of his admiration for the Classical giants of music, and the late-period works in this programme pay homage to Haydn and others while retaining Romantic sensibilities: a blend of old and new that creates something remarkably timeless.

Key Features: ● This recording was first released in 2003 on the ASV label, and is the second in a four- volume set of Joseph Marx’s orchestral works now being re-released on the Naxos label. Vol. 1 was released in December 2018 (8.573832). ● Critical acclaim for this recording on its original release came from MusicWeb International: 8.573832 Playing Time: ‘immensely enjoyable music… The subtly ambient engineering is excellent.

Alexander MOYZES (1906–1984) Symphonies Nos. 9 and 10 Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra • Ladislav Slovák

Alexander Moyzes is considered one of the leading composers of his generation, his style skilfully fusing inspiration from both his Slovakian heritage and contemporary European trends. The premiere of his Ninth Symphony took place in 1971, only three years after the Soviet-led invasion of his homeland, and the work’s dark and dramatic atmosphere depicts the tragedy and hopelessness of this period. By contrast, the serene colours of the Tenth Symphony avoid political connotations, and the piece is stylistically typical of the composer’s last decade in its technical virtuosity, formal elegance and brilliant artistic design.

Key Features: ● Alexander Moyzes is probably best known for his symphonies, this is volume four in a series of re-issues from the Marco Polo label. These releases remain as the only easily accessible reference, and with recordings and performances that still sound fresh and invigorating we felt it was time for a revival. ● Of the original release, International Record Review concluded that ‘Ladislav Slovák, who 8.573654 Playing Time: died in 1999, does Moyzes as proud in [this release] as in the previous recordings in Price Code: 1:09:59 the cycle: reliable playing; good sound.’ ClassicsToday.com admired the two symphonies: NXC ‘Symphony No. 9, written in the early 1970s, is a dark, gloomily introspective piece, 7 47313 36547 0 uncannily suggestive of late Shostakovich.

Johannes BRAHMS (1833–1897) String Quintets Nos. 1 and 2 New Zealand String Quartet • Maria Lambros, Viola

Seen as the successor to Beethoven by many of his contemporaries, Johannes Brahms combined traditional form with an originality of musical language that has inspired generations of composers. His two string quintets are, like Mozart’s, scored with two violas for richness of texture and harmonic depth. The positive mood of the First String Quintet reflects the sunny resort of Bad Ischl where Brahms composed during the spring of 1882, while his Second String Quintet combines symphonic breadth with nostalgic melancholy in what was originally intended to be his final chamber work.

Key Features: ● This new recording is the third in the New Zealand String Quartet’s recording series of Brahms’ chamber music. Their recording of the First and Second String Quartets (8.573433) was given a 10/9 score by ClassicsToday.com, with the comment ‘there is no holding back in these performances: the NZSQ literally attacks and wrestles Brahms’ scores to 8.573455 Playing Time: the ground – a positive, friendly intervention, for the good Price Code: 57:35 of all concerned...’ Of the Third String Quartet and Clarinet NXP Quintet (8.573454), Fanfare said: ‘everything I admired in

Benet Casablancas’ distinguished career spans over four decades, his music prized for its intensely individual harmonic palette, highly developed sense of dramatic and narrative form and, as with the chamber works on this recording, his tightly woven and intimately evocative statements both miniature and monumental. The playful, virtuosic energy of the Siete Haikus complements the shimmering Seis Glosas which are part meditation and part evocation, while the improvisatory Aria contrasts with the chamber concerto interactions of Pastoral, all performed by musicians from the versatile and sophisticated Ensemble New Babylon.

Shortly after taking up the position of Thomaskantor in Leipzig in 1723, Bach wrote a Magnificat in E flat major for performance at Christmas. Around a decade later he revised thework, transposing it down to D major and making it more concise.

Eduardo SÁINZ DE LA MAZA (1903–1982) Guitar Music Platero y yo • Campanas del alba • Habanera José Antonio Escobar, Guitar

The brothers Eduardo and Regino Sáinz de la Maza made significant contributions to the great lineage of Spanish guitar music in the 20th century (Regino’s compositions are on 8.572977). This selection of Eduardo’s music reflects his technical and expressive breadth, whether in the magical tremolo study Campanas del alba (‘The Bells of Dawn’) or in the series of romantic and virtuosic homages paid to Haydn, Toulouse-Lautrec and his own instrument, the guitar. Platero y yo (‘Platero and I’), a sequence of eight pieces narrating the activities of the donkey Platero, celebrates the beauty of nature, irradiated by glorious colour, and is one of his greatest masterpieces.

Key Features: ● Albums dedicated to Eduardo Sainz de la Maza’s guitar works are rare on the market. The first track on this release, Habanera, is included in Steve Kostelnik’s Guitar Laureate recital disc on 8.554214.

Vojin Kocić, winner of the 2017 Heinsberg International Guitar Competition, presents a recital that not only covers a wide historical range but also includes some of the most challenging works in the guitar repertoire, of which Ponce’s La Folía variations is considered a veritable Everest to be conquered.

These premiere recordings represent the remarkable rediscovery of manuscripts sequestered and dispersed after the Second World War.

Key Features: ● This is Naoko Akutagawa’s sixth release for Naxos.

He was as busy as ever in the year covered by these recordings, using Vuillaume and Guarneri del Gesù violins that he said ‘breathe and pulsate with a million vibrations’. On one of his many successful charity concerts in 1927 The Times commented that Kreisler’s ‘fine-drawn phrases have the delicacy of a spider’s thread, the suppleness of elastic, and the strength of steel’. With wonderful examples of parlando bowing, many demonstrations of beautiful double-stopping, lovely staccato and myriad other subtleties such as delicate rhythmic changes, harmonics and variations in dynamics, these New York and Berlin sessions include classic versions of Kreisler’s best works and a rare unaccompanied movement by Bach.

The Scarlet Pimpernel By Baroness Orczy Unabridged 9 781781 982396 Read by Bill Homewood

With the Reign of Terror at its peak, and the death toll mounting, France’s violent revolutionists suddenly find themselves frustrated by a mysterious vigilante. Known as the Scarlet Pimpernel, the enigmatic hero rescues the country’s ill-fated aristocrats from the doom of the guillotine and whisks them away to safety, with a band of gallant cohorts at his aid. Meanwhile, in England, beautiful Frenchwoman and former actress Lady Marguerite Blakeney finds herself drifting apart from her inane and foppish husband Sir Percy Blakeney – until Marguerite’s brother is found to be in league with the Pimpernel and the villainous Chauvelin blackmails her into discovering the true identity of the masked man… NA0358 Playing Time: 10 Hours Companion Titles – Bill Homewood, Reader NA0326 | NA0241 | NA0119 | NA0029

A Concise History of France By Roger Price Unabridged 9 781781 982730 Read by Mark Meadows Ranging from the early Middle Ages to the present, this is the broadest and most up-to-date study of French history available in English. Amongst its central themes are the relationships between state and society, the impact of war, competition for power, and the ways in which power has been used. Whilst taking full account of major figures such as Philip Augustus, Henri IV, Louis XIV, Napoleon and de Gaulle, it sets their activities within the broader context of changing economic and social structures and beliefs, and offers rich insights into the lives of ordinary men and women. The recording also includes a chapter on contemporary France – its society and political system as a result of globalisation, rising unemployment, a failing educational system, growing social and racial tensions, corruption, the rise of the extreme NA0377 right, and a widespread loss of confidence in political leaders.
