    Explore Unknown Music with the Toccata Discovery Club

    Explore Unknown Music with the Toccata Discovery Club Since you’re reading this booklet, you’re obviously someone who likes to explore music more widely than the mainstream offerings of most other labels allow. Toccata Classics was set up explicitly to release recordings of music – from the Renaissance to the present day – that the microphones have been ignoring. How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it. To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press. A modest annual membership fee brings you, free on joining, two CDs, a Toccata Press book or a number of album downloads (so you are saving from the start) and opens up the entire Toccata Classics catalogue to you, both new recordings and existing releases as CDs or downloads, as you prefer. Frequent special offers bring further discounts.

    GUIDE TO THE ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1961 "Sir John has the right age and temperament. He can mirror the sentient loveliness o f this rare music, yet keep it free from cloying sentiment; he traces its inner lines as delicately as nature traces veins on a leaf and so shows the thin but unifying forces of Delius’ art - for Delius is not really a composer of the blurred image." Thus wrote Ernest Bradbury of Delius’ On Hearing the First Cuckoo., vindicating, if such be needed, the decision to make an archive of these writings, «,, Time has edged far enough forward now for us to catch our breath reading that he heard Hindemith and Stravinsky conducting "in the flesh" which in time will doubtless seem more awesome still..^arguments about not spending allocated local authority funds on music and over-reliance on the familiar might have been written last night. <• Once again I have not, regrettably, been able to credit (though my husband usually did) the invaluable work of producers and designers.

    Shakespeare Requiem' Receives Its First Performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST

    Judith Bingham's 'Shakespeare Requiem' receives its first performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST The long awaited première of Judith Bingham's Shakespeare Requiem took place in Leeds Town Hall, UK, on 29 November 2008. The opening of the newly built town hall in 1858 was celebrated with the formation of a grand choral society -- the Leeds Festival Chorus -- and its first musical director, William Sterndale Bennett, initiated a tradition of first performances in the autumn of that year by directing the first performance of his own cantata The May Queen. The tradition of bringing new works to Leeds has remained with the Festival Chorus throughout its century and a half lifetime. A succession of distinguished directors maintained the tradition by commissioning new choral works, and the chorus have brought to life a fine inventory of great choral premiers including Sullivan's Golden Legend and Dvorák's St Ludmilla in 1886 and Elgar's Caractacus in 1898 through to Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, the memorable commission of 1931, and Michael Berkeley's The Red Macula of 1989. For this year's 150th Anniversary celebration, Judith Bingham could hardly be a more ideal choice. A student of both composition and singing in her time at London's Royal Academy of Music, she joined the BBC Singers in 1983 and spent twelve years as a full time member, becoming closely involved from the inside in the many challenges of both new and old music that such a renowned professional group of singers would undertake on a weekly basis. As may be expected, there is a large amount of choral music in her considerable output -- her catalogue has recently been taken up by Peters Edition, London -- and yet the new work for Leeds is her largest choral and orchestral undertaking to date.
