April 2019 Catalogue Issue 36 Prices Valid Until Wednesday 29 May 2019 Unless Stated Otherwise April 2019 Catalogue Issue 36 Prices valid until Wednesday 29 May 2019 unless stated otherwise 0115 982 7500 [email protected] Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address5} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, As we started to consider our highlights from April’s new recordings, it quickly became apparent that there was quite a heavy leaning, albeit unintentional, towards piano music. Having said ‘unintentional’, maybe it’s not a coincidence that the boss also happens to be rather a fan of the keyboard… Boris Giltburg, who must be one of Naxos’s most lucrative soloists, presents us with the next disc in his cycle of works by Rachmaninov: this time it is the turn of the delightful and emotionally powerful Preludes. We have two from BIS: Nottingham-born pianist Clare Hammond explores the keyboard works of Josef Myslivecek (1737-1781), and Yevgeny Sudbin offers us his interpretations of late Beethoven. The Piano Concerto by Clara Schumann is the headline work on Volume 78 of Hyperion’s ‘Romantic Piano Concerto’ series, beautifully performed as always by Howard Shelley. Twin sisters Cristina and Michelle Naughton play some fascinating works for two pianos by American composers (Warner Classics), plus we have Schubert recitals from both Andras Schiff (fortepiano, ECM) and Khatia Buniatishvili (Sony). Plenty for pianophiles to get their teeth into! Opera comes a close second in the genre-stakes - we have three unusual, yet very interesting works to point out to you this month. Donizetti’s L’Ange di Nisida (later heavily reworked as La Favorite) is Opera Rara’s latest deluxe production; NIFC offer us a very simliar style of presentation in the Italian version of Moniuszko’s Halka (viewed by some as “Poland’s national opera”); and Bru Zane (formerly Ediciones Singulares) release Spontini’s lesser-known Olimpie in their usual lavish CD-Book format. There are many more we could point out to you, but space is becoming tight, so just a quick mention of two new Elgar recordings: Caractacus from the Huddersfield Choral Society/Martyn Brabbins (Hyperion), and the Enigma Variations from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic/Vasily Petrenko both look to be worthy additions to the composer’s vast discography. New special offers this month include the complete and generous catalogues of Alpha, MDG and Somm; superb selections from both Warner Classics and Chandos; titles from small, yet high-quality labels Rubicon and Bru Zane; and DVDs/Blu-rays from Accentus, including great performances of Beethoven, Bruckner and Mahler from the likes of Barenboim, Chailly and Abbado. Best regards from, The Europadisc Team DISC OF THE MONTH Reason in Madness £11.95 Recital of songs by Brahms, Chausson, Debussy, Duparc, Koechlin, or pay just Poulenc, Saint-Saens, Schubert, Schumann, R Strauss and Wolf Carolyn Sampson, Joseph Middleton £9.95 BIS BIS2353 if your order value Throughout history men have feared madwomen, burning them as witches, confining exceeds £50* them in asylums and subjecting them to psychoanalysis – yet, they have also been * to qualify for the special price, your order value must exceed a fascinated, unable to resist fantasizing about them.

Offer available while stocks last. As a motto they have chosen an aphorism by Nietzsche: ‘There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness'. Brahms’s Ophelia Songs, composed for a stage production of Hamlet, appear next to those by Richard Strauss and Chausson, while Ophelia's death is described by both Schumann (in Herzeleid) and Saint-Saëns. Goethe’s mysterious and traumatized Mignon appears in settings by Hugo Wolf as well as Duparc, while his ill-used Gretchen grieves by her spinning-wheel in Schubert's matchless setting. Sadness and madness tip into witchery and unbridled eroticism with Pierre Louÿs's poems about Bilitis, set by Koechlin and Debussy. Sampson and Middleton end their recital as it began, with a suicide by drowning: in Poulenc’s monologue La Dame de Monte-Carlo, the elderly female protagonist has been unlucky at the gambling tables and decides to throw herself into the sea. 2 PRIORITY NEW RELEASES DG and Decca Lang Lang: Piano Book Miniatures by JS Bach, Badarczewska-Baranowska, Beethoven, Chopin, Clementi, Czerny, Debussy, Grieg, Huang Huwei, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Poulenc, Richter, Sakamoto, Schubert, Schumann and Tiersen £12.50 DG 479 7441 Lang Lang’s first new album in 3 years!

One of the major French composers of his time, he produced music that embraces the exotic colours of so-called Impressionism, the rigour of his training at Vincent d’Indy’s Schola Cantorum, and the questing spirit of Modernism. Containing a number of CD premieres, this wide-ranging edition features such performers as André Cluytens, Michel Plasson and José van Dam. In a recording from 1929, Roussel himself conducts excerpts from Le Festin de l'araignée (the set also includes recordings of him playing the piano and speaking), while his sometime pupil Jean Martinon conducts the entire ballet score in a recording from 1971. Conductor Charles Munch and mezzo-soprano Claire Croiza, who both appear in the edition, were also closely associated with the composer. A number of recordings in the edition are appearing on CD globally for the first time. The analogue recordings in the edition have been digitally remastered in 24bit/96kHz from the original tapes.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

Dear Customer, Glorious sunshine and summer temperatures prevail as this foreword is being written, but we suspect it will all be over by the time you are reading it! On the plus side, at least that means we might be able to tempt you into investing in a little more listening material before the outside weather arrives for real… We were pleasantly surprised by the number of new releases appearing late April and into May, as you may be able to tell by the slightly-longer-than-usual new release portion of this catalogue. Warner & Erato certainly have plenty to offer us, taking up a page and half of the ‘priorities’ with new recordings from Nigel Kennedy, Philippe Jaroussky, Emmanuel Pahud, David Aaron Carpenter and others, alongside some superbly compiled boxsets including a Massenet Opera Collection, performances from Joseph Keilberth (in the ICON series), and two interesting looking Debussy collections: ‘Centenary Discoveries’ and ‘His First Performers’. Rachel Podger revisits Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Channel Classics (already garnering strong reviews), Hyperion offer us five new titles including Schubert from Marc-Andre Hamelin and Berlioz from Lawrence Power and Andrew Manze (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below), plus we have strong releases from Sandrine Piau (Alpha), the Belcea Quartet joined by Piotr Anderszewski (also Alpha), Magdalena Kozena (Supraphon), Osmo Vanska (BIS), Boris Giltberg (Naxos) and Paul McCreesh (Signum).

  • Duo Sonatas and Sonatinas for Two Clarinets, Or Clarinet and Another Woodwind Instrument: an Annotated Catalog
    DUO SONATAS AND SONATINAS FOR TWO CLARINETS, OR CLARINET AND ANOTHER WOODWIND INSTRUMENT: AN ANNOTATED CATALOG D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yu-Ju Ti, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 D.M.A Document Committee: Approved by Professor James Pyne, co-Advisor Professor Alan Green, co-Advisor ___________________________ Professor James Hill Co-advisor Professor Robert Sorton ___________________________ Co-advisor Music Graduate Program Copyright by Yu-Ju Ti 2009 ABSTRACT There are few scholarly writings that exist concerning unaccompanied duet literature for the clarinet. In the late 1900s David Randall and Lowell Weiner explored the unaccompanied clarinet duets in their dissertations “A Comprehensive Performance Project in Clarinet Literature with an Essay on the Clarinet Duet From ca.1715 to ca.1825” and “The Unaccompanied Clarinet Duet Repertoire from 1825 to the Present: An Annotated Catalogue”. However, unaccompanied duets for clarinet and another woodwind instrument are seldom mentioned in the academic literature and are rarely performed. In an attempt to fill the void, this research will provide a partial survey of this category. Because of the sheer volume of the duet literature, the scope of the study will be limited to original compositions entitled Sonata or Sonatina written for a pair of woodwind instruments which include at least one clarinet. Arrangements will be cited but not discussed. All of the works will be annotated, evaluated, graded by difficulty, and comparisons will be made between those with similar style.

Allegro Deciso Carol Biel, Piano (1912-2000) II. Andante III. Allegro Spiritoso 3 pieces for Clarinet Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Intermission 40 Studies, no. 12 Cyrille Rose (1830-1902) Clarinet Concerto Aaron Copland I. Slowly and Expressively Carol Biel, Piano (1900-1990) II. Rather Fast Cyrille Rose 40 Etudes, nos. 1, 12 Cyrille Rose (1830-1902) is one of the most important people in the history of the clarinet. With his teacher, Hyacinth Klosé, he sits at the beginning of a clarinet dynasty that would produce figures like Henri Lefèbvre(not to be confused with the marxist philosopher), who taught Daniel Bonade, who more or less created the modern American Orchestral clarinet sound as well as taught some of the most important American clarinetists. Among clarinetists, Rose is well known for his two books of clarinet studies, which are notable for both their pedagogical value and worth as concert material. The two selections I am performing are from part one of the second book of studies. Igor Stravinsky Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet (1919) Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) is a composer famous for his ballets, who also wrote in a great variety of styles and mediums.
