Dear Customer, The annual Gramophone Classical Music Awards will be handed out this month: the ten main category winners have already been announced (see opposite page), with the ultimate ‘Recording of the Year’ being revealed at the ceremony in London on 13 September. We have managed to secure special prices on all of the winning discs for you, making it a great opportunity to hear any of the recordings that you may have missed when first released. As you will be aware, the autumn is the time when record labels traditionally release what they consider to be their best recordings, largely down to a mixture of people spending more time indoors over the winter months and an expectation that we spend more money in the run up to Christmas! September usually sees the first seeds of this and 2018 has proved to be no exception, as you will discover from how much we have had to squeeze in this month. Highlights include: Orchestral Songs by Elgar on Somm (our Disc of the Month below); Janacek from the late Jiri Belohlavek on Decca; two discs of British music on Chandos, focusing on works by Gerald Finzi and Ruth Gipps; a new recital from superb soprano Barbara Hannigan on Alpha, exploring lieder from the turn of the 20th Century; another soprano performance, this time live from the Wigmore Hall, by Joyce DiDonato on Erato; and two intriguing opera recordings: Rossini’s Semiramide (his final Italian work, thereafter living and working in Paris) from Opera Rara, and Gounod’s Le Tribut de Zamora from Bru Zane (rebranded from Ediciones Singulares and named after the Palazzetto Bru Zane in Venice, with whom several of the recent productions have collaborated). There are also further Bernstein centenary issues, most notable perhaps being a brand new recording of his second symphony from the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle, with the piano part performed by Krystian Zimerman (DG). Rattle also conducts the new LSO performance of Wonderful Town (LSO Live), plus there are several boxsets, including a gathering together of Bernstein’s recordings as conductor with the Orchestre National de France (Warner), and four new anthologies from Sony. Many of you have been enquiring about the new Birgit Nilsson Live Recordings boxset ever since BBC Music Magazine featured a sampler disc earlier this year. We are pleased to say that this will finally be making its appearance on 7 September and further details can be found on p8. Finally, a quick summary of this month’s new special offers: BIS is our core catalogue promotion, with 25% discount now available on all titles. We have filled 12 pages with a selection of their titles and hundreds more can be found online! Channel Classics, Capriccio, Arcana, Albion and First Hand Records also have their complete catalogues reduced. A selection of 120 recordings from DG are now half-price in celebration of their 120th birthday, plus there is a small selection of titles from ECM New Series with big reductions, and 20% off all DVDs and Blu-rays from the excellent Accentus label. Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DISC OF THE MONTH Elgar The Hills of Dreamland: Orchestral Songs £12.25 Kathryn Rudge, Henk Neven, BBC Concert Orchestra, Barry Wordsworth or pay just Somm SOMMCD 2712 (2CD) Somm is delighted to present a revelatory collection of orchestral songs by Sir Edward Elgar £9.95 performed by two of today’s most exciting young singers – mezzo-soprano Kathryn Rudge if your order value and baritone Henk Neven – accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Barry exceeds £50* Wordsworth.

The Op.59 Song Cycle is an exemplary case in point, by turns quietly radiant, touchingly Offer available while stocks last. nostalgic and achingly melancholic. Two settings of poems by Elgar’s wife – the richly orchestrated The Wind at Dawn and celebratory The King’s Way – show Elgar at his most evocative and ebullient. Sombre and powerful, The Pipes of Pan boasts colourful imagery and driving rhythmic energy, The River and The Torch wholly Elgarian in their wonderful sonorities. A first recording of the orchestral version of the marching song Follow the Colours shows Elgar at his most patriotic. The complete incidental music for a 1901 staging of WB Yeats’ Grania and Diarmid offers a rare opportunity to experience the full gamut of Elgar’s moving and dramatic evocation of a timeless tale of love in the ancient Irish myth. A bonus disc of recordings made under the auspices of the Elgar Society showcases soprano Nathalie de Montmollin and pianist Barry Collett in a collection of piano- accompanied songs. It includes first recordings of the piano version of ‘Winter’ from The Mill Wheel (with its churning left-hand patterns and a text by the composer’s wife) and the world-weary tread of Muleteer’s Serenade, setting words from Cervantes’ Don Quixote. 2 GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNERS 2018 Below are details of the 10 category winnners in the 2018 Gramophone Awards.

Nell’estate 2017 è stato quartetto in residence alla 27a edizione del Piedicavallo Festival, suonando in più di una decina di concerti sia come quartetto che in quintetto e sestetto, collaborando con altri musicisti invitati al Festival. Nel 2016 l’ensemble ha ricevuto una borsa di studio dell'Associazione Piero Farulli (“La Pépinière del Quartetto d'Archi”) e nel 2017 una assegnata dalla Gioventù Musicale d’Italia, che ha determinato numerosi concerti premio in città italiane. Nella stagione 2017-2018, il Quartetto Dàidalos si è esibito per prestigiose società ed associazioni concertistiche, tra cui il Paganini Genova Festival, l’Associazione Musica con le Ali, la Società del Quartetto di Milano (Musica nel Tennis), la Società del Quartetto di Bergamo.

The Historical Performance movement began as a revolution: a reimagining of musical conventions, a rediscovery of instruments, techniques, and artworks that inspire and teach us, and a celebration of diversity in repertoire. It is also a conversation with the past, a past whose legacy of racism and colonialism has silenced and excluded too many voices from being heard. We do not seek simply to recreate what might have been but to imagine what should be. We embrace Juilliard's values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through voices heard anew and historical works presented with empathetic perspectives, and we reject discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. We recognize that we study and work on the traditional homeland of those who preceded us (see Juilliard's land acknowledgement statement, below).

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83
    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.
