With the great Prom season looming, we felt that this was an ideal time of year to celebrate the many composers, some often unfairly overlooked, that were born within these isles. You will therefore find a plethora of labels on offer between pages 10-20 with all the repertoire being devoted entirely to British composers. Included are titles from the likes of Chandos, Lyrita, Dutton, EMI and Harmonia Mundi, plus more unusual offerings such as issues from The British Music Society. There is certainly plenty to tempt you here. Even we were amazed at how much is available, especially when you bear in mind that this is only a selection - plenty more titles can be found on our website. Amongst the notable new releases this month are Pappano’s William Tell, a re-issue of Havergal Brian’s ‘Gothic Symphony’ on Naxos (due to be performed at the proms this year), John Adams’ new ‘Son of Chamber Symphony’ on Nonesuch, plus a disc on Decca from a young pianist who promises to be very special - Benjamin Grosvenor plays Chopin, Liszt and Ravel. Another label featured this month is Supraphon - see pp.21-23 for a special multibuy offer. Best regards as ever from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £30 Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould An enigmatic musical poet, world-renowned pianist Glenn Gould continues to captivate international audiences twenty-nine years after his untimely death. His inimitable music and writing reveal an insightful worldview that we are still unraveling – his use of complex recording technologies, including manipulating recordings over dubbing, was unprecedented. Though there have been many documentaries about Gould, most are distracted by his eccentricities, focusing on the pills, gloves, and scarves while missing the man and message behind the music. Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould pierces through the myths, revealing the man beneath the icon. Includes never-before seen footage of Gould, photographs and excerpts from his private home recordings and diaries plus personal interviews with Gould's most intimate friends and lovers. Available as a DVD (DAP7793) at just £11.95, or a Blu-ray (DAB7803) at just £15.95.
