NOVEMBER 2008 LIST Valid until 5 pm Tuesday 16 December (orders received) unless stated otherwise. Dear Customer In preparing this list, we have been mindful of the approaching festive season and the need not only for delights for yourselves but gifts for others. You will find a number of pages given over to reductions on a huge range of attractive box sets and DVDs in addition to mainstream labels such as Channel Classics, EMI Classics for Pleasure, BBC Legends, LSO Live and Wigmore Hall Live. All these offers are in addition to our Autumn 2008 Supplement (included with our September list) which is now valid until Tuesday 16 December. We have spare printed copies available or you can view all the current offers on our website. This month’s highlights are recordings of the highest order. The eagerly awaited La Sonnambula with Cecilia Bartoli and Juan-Diego Florez on Decca (page 2, in both deluxe and standard packaging) is not to be missed. Also, a must see is the first Wagner Opera DVD from Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic (back page) featuring Eva Johansson, Willard White and Eva-Maria Westbroek, taken from highly praised live performances at the 2006 Aix-en Provence Festival. Two rare treats. Many of you will be pleased to learn that Brilliant Classics are available again - too late notice to include a list inside but our December list will feature a large selection, or see our website now for details. As always, your support is much appreciated. Mark, Richard & Mike DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £30 BelAir Classiques Simon Rattle with the Berlin Philharmonic Their first Wagner DVD – filmed in high definition BAC 034 Wagner Die Walkure (rec 2006 Aix-en Provence) Johansson;White;Westbroek;BPO;Rattle 2DVD £26.95 In what is both Mr. Rattle's and Aix's first Ring Cycle, "Die Walküre," the Ring's second chapter, was magically transformed by the enclosed space and lively acoustics of the Grand Théâtre de Provence. But where the new theater makes another significant difference is in Mr. Braunschweig's staging of the opera. Far more than in last year's "Rheingold," even the gods, notably Wotan and his twin children, Siegmund and Sieglinde, can now be felt to experience deeply human emotions. The final curtain brought a standing ovation for both orchestra and singers, with Ms.Westbroek singled out for her "extraordinary power and lyricism," as Jean-Louis Validire, Le Figaro's music critic, put it...The Ring Cycle continues here with "Siegfried" in 2008 and "Götterdammerüng" in 2009 and, as with "Das Rheingold" and "Die Walküre," they will be presented afresh at the Salzburg Easter Festival the following year." The New York Times, July 5, 2007 Also available is a blu-ray version of the above DVD that will only play on blu-ray disc players (not compatible with normal DVD players) BAC 434 Wagner Die Walkure Blu-ray DVD only Rattle £28.95 Please note that the recordings contained in this list are our selection of New Releases and Special Promotions.
