Three poignant tales of denail and sacrifice: St Peter's denial of Christ; Abraham's [narrowly averted] sacrifice of his son Isaac; and the Old Testament story of Jepthe, the hero commander who, before leading the Israelites into battle against the Ammonites, vows to God that if he is victorious, he will sacrifice the first living thing he meets upon his return. Unfortunately it is his darling daughter, who dances out to greet him with cymbals and flutes. Jepthe must honour his vow... In a dramatic lament, the daughter [she is never named] asks the mountains to bewail her fate - they answer in echoes; this is followed by one of the most moving choruses in all 17th C music. Belgian soprano Sophie Juncker is the daughter Label: harmonia mundi [and one to watch].

In 'Music for Peter Gunn' Grammy-nominated Steven Richman and the sensational Harmonie Ensemble / New York with ace old-school improvisers Lew Soloff [trumpet] and Lew Tabackin [sax], place their own stamp on Mancini's iconic orchestrations.

There's the remarkable clarinet/saxophone playing of 90-year-old Al Gallodoro for a start - a member of the original Paul Whiteman Orchestra who died shortly after making these recordings that feature him playing the famous glissando opening of ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ with pianist Lincoln Mayorga as soloist and the excellent Harmonie Ensemble of New York. Steven Richman conducts these recreations of the original Whiteman Band orchestrations… in versions that might be new to modern ears.” The Scotsman RELEASE DATE 28TH JULY 2014 Robert KYR: The Cloud of Unknowing, Songs of the Soul Conspirare Craig Hella Johnson leads Conspirare, soprano Estelí Gomez, baritone David Farwig, and the Victoria Bach Festival string orchestra in this first recording of three choral works by Robert Kyr (b. 1952). Exploring the relationship between human and divine love, his cantatas 'The Cloud of Unknowing' (2013) and 'Songs of the Soul' (2011) transfixed audiences and critics alike when Conspirare premiered them. The texts are by the 16th century Spanish mystics St Teresa of Ávila and St John of the Cross, some sung in Spanish, some in English translation. The prelude to the two cantatas, the a cappella anthem, 'The Singer's Ode' is reminiscent of RVW's 'Ode to Music'. Robert Kyr is among the most prolific composers of his generation, having composed 12 symphonies, 3 chamber symphonies, 3 violin concerti, and much chamber music, in addition to numerous vocal works. His choral music is distinguished by a warmly compelling lyricism, as well as by a contrapuntal mastery that arises from his love of early music, especially the work of Dufay, Josquin Des Prez, and above all, Bach… Label: harmonia mundi "A powerful new achievement in American music that vividly traces a journey from despair to transcendence" The Wall Street Journal, concert review File Under: Classical/Secular Vocal music WORLD PREMIERE RECORDINGS Catalogue No: HMU807577 Barcode: 093046757762 NORMAL Price Format: 1 HYBRID SACD Packaging: cristal Estelí Gomez [soprano] David Farwig [baritone] Victoria Bach Festival String Orchestra Conspirare Craig Hella Johnson, RELEASE DATE 28TH JULY 2014 RAMEAU: Les Indes galantes, Castor & Pollux (complete operas) Harpsichord Suites, Anacréon, Pygmalion, Nélée & Myrthis Les Indes Galantes Claron McFadden (Hebe, Zima), Sandrine Piau (Zaire), Isabelle Poulenard (L'Amour, Phani), Noemi Rime (Fatime), Miriam Ruggeri (Emilie), Howard Crook (Valere/Damon), Jean-Paul Fouchecourt (Don Carlos/Tacmas), Jerome Correas (Bellone/Ali), Bernard Deletre (Huascar/Don Alvar), Nicolas Rivenq (Osman/Adario) Castor & Pollux Howard Crook (Castor), Jérôme Corréas (Pollux), Agnès Mellon (Télaire), Véronique Gens (Phébé), René Schirrer (Mars/Jupiter), Sandrine Piau (Vénus), Mark Padmore (L'Amour), Mark Padmore (Grand Prêtre de Jupiter), Claire Brua (Minerva) Pygmalion, Nelée et Myrthis Howard Crook, Agnès Mellon, Jérôme Corréas & Sandrine Piau Label: harmonia mundi 250 years after his death, Jean-Philippe Rameau continues to fascinate, as is shown by the number of new productions File Under: Classical/Opera & of his operas scheduled for 2014 and beyond.

  • W E I G O L D & Ö H Jean Rondeau M
    W E I G O L D & B Ö H Jean Rondeau M Harpsichord International Artists & Tours Described as “one of the most natural performers one is likely to hear on a classical music stage” by the Washington Post, Jean Rondeau is a veritable global ambassador for his instrument. His outstanding talent and innovative approach to keyboard repertoire have been critically acclaimed, marking him out as one of today’s leading harpsichordists. Following a year that saw his debut with the Orchestre de Paris performing Poulenc’s Concerto Champêtre, Rondeau’s 2021/22 season includes concerto engagements with the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, a concert tour with the Freiburger Barockorchester, and a CPE Bach tour with the Kammerorchester Basel with Rondeau play-conducting from the harpsichord. In the realm of chamber music, Rondeau shares the stage with Nicolas Alstaedt at the Berlin Staatsoper and re-reunites with his fellow co-founders of the Nevermind Quartet for recording projects and performances in Madrid, Dortmund and la Chaux-de-Fonds. He also joins long-time collaborator Thomas Dunford for a tour of Japan following recent appearances at the Stockholm Early Music Festival, the Festival Concentus Moraviae, the Ribeira Sacra Guitar Festival, the Haapsalu Festival and the Hindsgavl Festival last summer. A notable highlight throughout the year is Rondeau’s tour of major European venues performing Bach’s Goldberg Variations – a project long in the making; emphasising sustainability with a “green itinerary” to highlight his environmental commitments, it includes visits to the Berlin Philharmonie, the Frankfurt Opera House, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, the Liszt Academy in Budapest, Geneva’s Victoria Hall, the Philharmonie de Paris, and London’s Wigmore Hall.

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’.

A thesis submitted to the University of New South Wales in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy 2012 http://doi.org/10.4225/53/58bca28d2a79a THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Bangert First name: Daniel Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Arts and Media Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: Doing without thinking? Processes of decision-making in period instrument performance Abstract 350 words maximum: The performance of a musical work involves making many decisions about the notated score. This study explores the nature and role of intuitive and deliberate processes of musical decision-making in period instrument performance of solo Baroque string music. This research uses dual process theories of cognition as a conceptual framework to examine issues of Baroque performance practice and interpretation. A threefold approach to data collection was employed. In the first study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with leading Baroque violinists and cellists, focusing on the solo works of J.S. Bach. A high proportion of deliberate decision-making was found (60% overall) although this varied considerably between individuals. Performers described their interpretation of these pieces as being influenced by various factors and provided insights into how elements of the interpretative process such as intuition are experienced and defined. The participants in the second study were Baroque violinists of varying levels of expertise who were asked to sight-read, practise and perform a short piece of unfamiliar solo Baroque violin music.

    SONNTAG 11. OKTOBBER 2020 ST. URSULA FORUM ALTE MUSIK KÖLN SONNTAGSKONZERTE 17H m+k e.V. CHRISTOPHE COIN DAVIT MELKONYAN VIOLONCELLO „EUROPA-REISE MIT CELLO“ AUS DEM CONSERVATOIRE IN DIE WELT Ein Jahrhundert lang schon galt die Violine als das Instrument der Wahl für die Dar- stellung expressiver Melodien, rasanter Läufe und bizarrster Sprünge, da kam auch das Violoncello endlich zu Solo-Ehren. Zunächst waren es italienische Ausnahme- Musiker, die das virtuose Solospiel auf dem Violoncello um 1700 auch im Norden Euro- pas bekanntmachten. Im Laufe der nächsten Jahrzehnte übernahm da aber Frank- reich die Führung, das Land, in dem bislang die aristokratische Viola da gamba den Ton angegeben hatte. So mancher hervorragende Gambenspieler wechselte damals aufs Cello. Auf Verbindungen nach Frankreich – jetzt in die Klassen des nachrevolutionären Pariser Conservatoire – stoßen wir auch, wenn wir uns auf die Duo- und Solokom- positionen herausragender Cello-Virtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts einlassen, die uns heute durch verschiedene europäische Musiklandschaften führen. Wir beginnen „vor der Haustür“. Bernhard Romberg, ge- boren in Dinklage, darf als eine der prägenden Gestalten unter den Cellisten dieser Zeit gelten. Er war ein Jugend- freund Ludwig van Beethovens – gemeinsam spielten sie in der kurkölnischen Hofkapelle in Bonn. Dann aber ent- wickelte sich Romberg zu einem der ersten reisenden Cello- virtuosen; seine Konzerttourneen führten ihn von Lissabon bis St. Petersburg und Moskau. Romberg unterrichtete von 1801 bis 1803 am Pariser Konservatorium und beeinflusste so die französische Celloschule. Vor allem aber war die deutsche Cellotradition durch ihn bestimmt: Er entwickel- te die Spieltechnik weiter und richtete das Instrument ent- sprechend ein. In seiner Violoncell-Schule, die 1839/40 er- schien, veranschaulicht er die Modifikationen an seinem Instrument in einer maßstabs- getreuen Zeichnung.
