New Release Information Media Contact NEW RELEASE INFORMATION REQUIEM ÆTERNAM CHRISTINE RICE, MEZZO-SOPRANO MARK STONE, BARITONE GUY JOHNSTON, CELLO TRISTAN MITCHARD, ORGAN THE CHOIR OF SOMERVILLE COLLEGE, OXFORD DAVID CROWN, CONDUCTOR CD RELEASE DATE: 17 September 2012 This is the debut release from one of Oxford’s most exciting and up-and-coming choirs – that of Somerville College. Under the leadership of its musical director, David Crown, the disc highlights the group’s youthful vibrancy and adventurous repertoire, pairing the familiar Duruflé Requiem with Milford’s Mass for five voices, both of which were composed in 1947. For the Durufle Requiem, which was recorded in the stunning acoustic of Douai Abbey with its excellent Kenneth Tickell organ played by organ scholar Tristan Mitchard, the choir was joined by internationally-renowned soloists Christine Rice, Mark Stone and Guy Johnston. The beautiful Milford Mass for five voices receives its world-première recording, performed in the choir’s college chapel. These two pieces not only demonstrate the versatility of the Somerville Choir, but also provide a thought-provoking juxtaposition of the different approaches to neo-classicism in post-war choral music. Crown’s work since his recent appointment at Somerville College has seen the choir go from strength to strength, to the point where it is now one of the most impressive young vocal ensembles in Oxford. CRITICAL ACCLAIM "From the very first piece, the 22 mixed voices of Somerville College Choir evoked an atmosphere of high spirituality”, Il Citadino "We were rolled over not only by the robust and gorgeous tone of this choir, but also by the superb attacks and deeply expressive singing.”, Dr John Bertalot CONTINUES OVERLEAF MEDIA CONTACT: Mark Stone at Stone Records Ltd Tel: 07595 534350 Email: [email protected] NEW RELEASE INFORMATION BIOGRAPHIES Christine Rice is one of the leading British mezzo-sopanos of her generation.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Volume One of the Frederick Delius
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Volume One of the Frederick Delius Songbook to be Released in the United States this September ASHFORD, CONNECTICUT (August 22, 2011) – In honor of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great English composer Frederick Delius (1862-1934), The Complete Delius Songbook – Volume 1 will be released as a CD in the U.S. on September 13, 2011. This is the first volume in a two-volume series that will comprise the first-ever complete recording of all 61 surviving songs of Frederick Delius for voice and piano. This recording features baritone Mark Stone accompanied by Stephen Barlow on piano. Michael Maglaras of 217 Records is Executive Producer. Produced and released first in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2011 on the Stone Records label, and produced in association with 217 Records, this eventual two-volume journey through the Delius songbook will be a delight to listeners everywhere. Pictured: Stephen Barlow and Mark Stone. “We at 217 Records cannot imagine a finer exponent of the English art song than baritone Mark Stone. That he possesses a superb instrument is clear to everyone who knows his work. But he is also a singer of rare intelligence and refinement, and this recording bears his unmistakable stamp,” said Michael Maglaras. “Stephen Barlow is the logical successor to Gerald Moore. He is a great English pianist who brings not only gracious support to this undertaking, but helps create, in every song, an immediate sense of both the drama and the deeper meaning of Delius’s work.” Volume 1, which includes first-time recordings of five of these songs, features all of Delius’s songs to English and Norwegian texts, the latter being sung in English translation.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

In April 2017, Sheku returned to the hall for another performance of the concerto, this time with the National Youth Orchestra and Carlos Miguel Prieto after which the Guardian wrote that “technically superb and eloquent in his expressivity, he held the capacity audience spellbound with an interpretation of exceptional authority” and the Telegraph acknowledged “what a remarkable musician he already is, bringing other- worldly tone to the haunting slow movement and displaying mature musicianship in his handling of the extended cadenza” Only eighteen years old, Sheku’s international career is developing very quickly with engagements in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons including the CBSO, the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Newbury Spring Festival, a return to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, Barcelona Symphony, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra (his debut at the Concertgebouw), Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (Sheku’s concerto debut in North America), Louisiana Philharmonic, and the Seattle and Atlanta symphonies. He will also return to the BBC Symphony Orchestra to perform the Elgar Concerto in his hometown of Nottingham and make his debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus with the Japan Philharmonic. In recital, Sheku has several concerts across the UK with highlights over the next two seasons including his debuts at Kings Place as part of their Cello Unwrapped series, Milton Court, and Wigmore Hall.

Fortunately I am rarely overheard as I endlessly repeat words and phrases, trying to find the music in them: the exact pitches and rhythms needed to portray a particular emotion often take me an exasperatingly long time to find. One of the things that I love most about writing songs is that I feel I truly get to know and understand the poetry I am setting. The music, as I write it, allows me to feel as if I am inhabiting the character in the poem, and I often only discover what the poem really says to me when I reach the final bar. This disc features a number of texts either written especially for me (Kei Miller, Tamsin Collison, Andrew Motion, Stuart Murray), or already in existence (Kate Wakeling, Ian McMillan, 4th century Aristotle).
