October 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Boxsets feature heavily in our list this month, primarily due to a big promotion that we now have running until Christmas (pp.12-19), but we would also like to point out couple of exciting new boxes that might be of interest. The Decca Sound is a brilliant 50 album overview of analogue recordings that Decca produced in the pre-digital era. The beginnings of high fidelity, their ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence, bringing in a golden age of classical recorded music. Included in the box are celebrated recordings from the likes of Solti, Haitink, Kertesz and Dorati - recordings and performances that certainly still stand the test of time today. See p.2 for details. The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage is a series that has been closely followed by many collectors over the past few years, especially since the Monteverdi Choir’s move from DG to the wonderful presentation of the SDG label. For those who have eagerly picked up every volume, the complete collection in a single box may be superfluous, but for anyone who has simply dabbled, or maybe not even tried, it is a real treat. Coming in at £149.95, it is also a great saving on the c.£500 value of the individual items (especially bearing in mind that several volumes have now been deleted). See p.3 for details. As we are rapidly running out of space, we will just mention a few other items quickly. New release highlights this month include Chailly’s new Brahms cycle (Decca), a fabulous new St Matthew Passion from Rene Jacobs (Harmonia Mundi), Dvorak Cello Concertos from Steven Isserlis (Hyperion), Shostakovich’s Symphony no.4 from Petrenko (Naxos) and much much more - priorities are all featured on pp.2-4. New special offers include the afore-mentioned boxsets, plus complete catalogues from Naxos, Signum, Supraphon, Alto and Channel Classics. Plenty to take advantage of!

  • 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.

  • Recensione Del CD the Book of Bilbo and Gandalf – Marco Lo Muscio Ho
    Recensione del CD The Book of Bilbo and Gandalf – Marco Lo Muscio Ho recentemente acquistato il CD ed è stata una bellissima sorpresa scoprire le raffinate composizioni del Maestro Lo Muscio, che con notevole sensibilità ed eccellente capacità espressiva ci introduce nelle magiche atmosfere della “Terra di mezzo”. Il lavoro si ispira al famoso racconto Tolkieniano, ed attraverso 9 brani ci accompagna per mano nella fantastica narrazione di alcuni capitoli del Signore degli Anelli.. Inoltre il tutto è magicamente impreziosito dalle stupende performance di Steve Hackett, il quale ha dedicato un brano di chitarra classica all’amico Marco, John Hackett e Oksana Sinkova al flauto traverso, e da Par Lindh, che introduce il lavoro con un bellissimo brano degli anni passati, sul quale interviene nel finale il Maestro Lo Muscio con il Piano con una riuscita elaborazione del tema portante, conferendo allo stesso maggior respiro ed un finale più espressivo. Il successivo brano si struttura su un tema estremamente raffinato con atmosfere celtiche, qui si possono assaporare le grandi capacità espressive di Lo Muscio. Il terzo brano è una bellissima suite ispirata al racconto del mago Gandalf nella saga del Signore degli Anelli, esprime forza, energia, estro ed, al momento opportuno, quando non te lo aspetti, il Mago, pardon, il Maestro Lo Muscio, estrae dal suo cilindro compositivo un tema meraviglioso che ravviva le atmosfere di “Ombra e Luce” che riflettono il titolo del brano. Bellissimo! Il quarto brano è una splendida composizione di Steve Hackett dedicata a Lo Muscio, che si inserisce a meraviglia nell’album. Molto intimistico e raffinato, Steve imprime al suono della chitarra classica un alone di magia che si amalgama a perfezione con il sound dell’intero lavoro.

  • Czech Music Culture in London and Post-1989 Developments in Czechoslovakia at the Time
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce ISSN 1929-7106 www.ijac.org.uk CZECH MUSIC CULTURE IN LONDON AND POST-1989 DEVELOPMENTS IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA AT THE TIME Markéta Koutná Univerzita Palackého v Olomouci, Filozofická Fakulta, Katedra muzikologie Czech Republic E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The study deals with Czech-London musical relations, particularly Czech music culture in London within the context of cultural, social and political change in 1989. An analysis of the opera, chamber music, and symphonic production of Czech music in London between 1984 and 1994 identifies how and whether the Czechoslovak Velvet Revolution affected the firm position that Czech music culture had held in the capital of the United Kingdom. Key words: Czech musical culture, London, emigration, composers, the Velvet Revolution, 1989 The musical relations between the Czechs and London represent an important current issue. As the capital of the United Kingdom, London naturally takes the lead within the British cultural scene.

Since releasing her début album ‘Eternal Light’ in 2007, with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, she has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues and festi- vals, and with leading orchestras and conductors.

Elin has performed across Europe at major venues and festivals, including: the Edinburgh, Canterbury, Three Choirs, Llangollen, Mostly Mozart and Lufthansa festivals, St John's Smith Square, Wigmore Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham Town Hall, Bridgewater Hall, Casa de Musica in Porto, Zurich Tonhalle, and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. In 2008 Elin gave the World Première of Sir John Tavener’s Requiem in Liverpool Cathedral (also recorded for EMI), and later premiered his Love Duet at the Manchester In- ternational Festival in 2013. Orchestras she has worked with include the Halle, Britten Sinfonia, Royal Philharmonic, Academy of Ancient Music, BBC NOW, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Bournemouth Symphony, City of London Sinfonia, the Malaysian Philharmonic, and Copenhagen Phil- harmonic Orchestra. She has performed for many of the world's leading conductors, among them Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Sir An- drew Davis, Harry Christophers, Paul McCreesh, Stephen Layton, Sir Roger Norrington, Vasily Petrenko, Thierry Fischer and the late Richard Hickox. Equally comfortable performing contemporary music, Elin has been fortunate to work with Sir John Tavener, John Rutter, Sir Karl Jenkins, James Macmillan, Judith Weir and Eric Whitacre, among others.
