Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo was one of the foremost guitar composers of the twentieth century.

The passionate and vital Concierto Andaluz is scored for guitar quartet and orchestra, whilst in the Concierto Madrigal Rodrigo employs variation form to brilliant effect.

Henze’s Violin Concerto No. 2 occupies a space between the theatre and concert stages. A dramatic work with a rôle for a speaker, it comes from the period of his interest in ‘action music’ and is scored for a large experimental chamber orchestra. Equally Janus-faced, but very different, is the Italianate Il Vitalino raddoppiato, vividly coloured and overtly romantic ‘chamber music’ that looks back to the example of Tomaso Vitali. The Concerto is heard in an archive performance conducted by the composer, and this volume concludes Peter Sheppard Skærved’s survey of Henze’s works for violin and orchestra (the First and Third Concertos are on 8.557738).

Key Features • This disc concludes the collaboration on disc of violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved and composer Hans Werner Henze that began on 8.557738.

†WORLD PREMIÈRE RECORDING

Vytautas Bacevičius remained virtually unknown as a composer during his lifetime, in contrast to the fortunes of his sister Grażyna Bacewicz, who retained her Polish nationality. Rendered stateless by the outbreak of World War II while he was on tour as a concert pianist in Argentina, he eventually settled in New York until his death in 1970, giving acclaimed piano recitals, teaching, and writing astoundingly original orchestral scores. He never lost his deep allegiance to and nostalgia for Lithuania. This recording gives an eloquent introduction to his pianistic virtuosity and to his mystical, Scriabinesque vision of the orchestra.

This is the third volume in the series of orchestral music by Milanese-born Elisabetta Brusa. Sharing its neo-tonal language with her Nittemero Symphony [Volume 1 / 8.555266], the imposing, vividly immediate and approachable Symphony No. 1 is her first work for large orchestra.

†WORLD PREMIÈRE RECORDING

Havergal Brian’s extraordinary late creativity is almost unparalleled in musical history. Between the completion of Symphony No. 6 in 1948 and the end of his compositional life two decades later he wrote 26 symphonies. No. 6 marks a crucial point in his adoption of more concise forms and economy of expression in its single-movement span, a process taken even further in the brief but free polyphonic fantasia of No. 31. In Symphonies Nos. 28 and 29 Brian turned to the classical four-movement model but one which is wholly and idiosyncratically re-imagined. The intensity and even savagery of No. 28 is balanced by No. 29, Brian’s most lyrical late work.

Key Features • Naxos continues its exploration of the sequence of symphonies by English composer Havergal Brian with four more examples. The earliest is the Sixth, written when he was 72, but Nos. 28, 29 and 31 are late works, full of his characteristic qualities of individuality and powerful gestures. One of his most intermittently savage symphonies, No.28, is balanced by his most lyrical late work in the genre, No.29. There are no competing 8.573408 Playing Time: recordings for this disc, which will be warmly welcomed by British 69:51 Alexander Walker Music adherents.

A prodigious talent as a performer, George Enescu was dubbed “the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart” by Pablo Casals. His compositions occupy a special place among the vast repertoire of works for violin and piano. Enescu wrote the spirited First Sonata aged 16, synthesizing the influence of Beethoven and Brahms into a work with rich, symphonic textures and remarkable polyphonic sophistication. The late Andantino malinconico is a haunting musical labyrinth, while the unpublished Tarantella is as close as Enescu came to writing a virtuoso violin morceau. The first of this two volume set can be found on Naxos 8.572691.

†WORLD PREMIÈRE RECORDING

British music for the clarinet was hugely indebted to the elite interpreters who inspired this important repertoire. They included Frederick Thurston, who first performed three of the works on this recording. Bax’s Sonata, much admired and imbued with Celtic folklore, is heard in a version that restores the manuscript’s original phrasing. The pieces by Roger Fiske and Iain Hamilton are heard in première recordings, while Richard Rodney Bennett’s Duo Concertante was commissioned by the eminent soloist in this recital, Nicholas Cox.

Key Features • The British clarinet tradition is a long and important one.

Liszt had a particular affection for the music of Schubert whom he considered to be “the most poetic musician who ever lived”.

Although Handel is not known for his keyboard music today, he was a gifted performer who astonished his contemporaries with his mastery of the instrument. First published in 1720, the ‘eight great suites’ contain some of Handel’s most beautiful music and were immensely popular in their time. These final four suites illuminate not only his melodic gifts and dramatic flair, but his ability to unify a variety of forms and styles into a complete and magnificent whole. The first of this two volume set, acclaimed by Fanfare magazine for ‘its often assured and inspired playing’, is available on Naxos 8.572197.

Key Features • Our first volume in this two disc set (8.572197) was released in 2010, hitting the U.S. Classical Billboard Charts within its first week. Collectors will find it has been worth the wait for this second and concluding CD, the first having been admired by The Juilliard Journal Online for Philip Edward Fisher’s “exacting rhythmic control and clear articulation… impressive control…

© Christian Steiner [bringing] out the composer’s ability to suddenly touch the heart… Philip Edward Fisher deploying a gentle, yearning quality that is irresistible.” These works have become increasingly popular in recent years, and this set can stand tall amongst any of the catalog alternatives. 8.573397 Playing Time 59:25 Companion Titles 7 47313 33397 4

The Social Contract By Jean-Jacques Rousseau Unabridged Read by Neville Jason 9 781843 799023

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

In The Social Contract, Rousseau explores the concept of freedom and the political structures that may enable people to acquire it. He argues that the sovereign power of a state lies not in any one ruler, but in the will of the general population. Rousseau argues that the ideal state would be a direct democracy where executive decision-making is carried out by citizens who meet in assembly, as they would in the ancient city-state of Athens.

The thoughts contained in the work were instrumental to the advent of the American Revolution and became sacred to those leading the French Revolution.

With traces of Aristotle and echoes of Plato’s Republic, The Social Contract is an exhilarating look at society and the definition of democracy.

Lord Jim By Joseph Conrad Unabridged Read by Ric Jerrom 9 781843 798842

Jim, the first mate aboard a small steamer named the Patna, travels from port to port in the Pacific Ocean. When the ship hits floating wreckage, Jim and the crew are forced to abandon it, leaving hundreds of ethnic travellers on board. However, Jim’s reprehensible actions are soon discovered by the Court and he is compelled to face his guilt and redeem himself − a journey that leads him to a remote exotic location where he is revered as the Lord, ‘Tuan Jim’.

Through beautifully evocative descriptions and ponderous philosophical prose, Conrad delivers a powerful novel about one man’s struggle to reconcile who he would like to be with who he actually is.

Joseph Andrews By Henry Fielding Unabridged Read by John Telfer 9 781843 798941

In one of the first novels in the English language, we follow the picaresque adventures of Joseph Andrews, a virtuous young man who is keen to maintain his innocence, despite being coerced into bed by nearly every woman he encounters.

The episodic journey sees him head home to London with his tutor, Parson Adams, with the aim of finding his sweetheart, Fanny. Much mayhem ensues along the way as they become embroiled in a series of escapades and slapstick brawls.

Fielding is an expert satirist and through the many twists and turns of narration, he combines high and low literature with high and low humour to create a wittily funny novel that he aptly named a ‘comic epic poem in prose’.
