the month Max BRUCH Violin Concerto No. 1 Op. 26; Serenade in A minor Op. 75; Romance in A minor Op. 42 Jack Liebeck BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Martyn Brabbins Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 is the most popular ever written. Much recorded, Jack Liebeck turns in a dazzling performance of youthful vigour, prefacing the Concerto with the gorgeous Serenade and a Romance. CDA68060 £9.00 Daniel STEIBELT (1765–1823) Piano Concertos Nos 3, 5 & 7 Ulster Orchestra, Howard Shelley Howard Shelley and the Ulster Orchestra return for a second volume in Hyperion’s new Classical Piano Concerto series. Daniel Steibelt—the man who dared to challenge Beethoven and lost—ruled the keyboards of northern Europe for a quarter of a century, his own concertos as sensationally popular as their composer was ostentatious. CDA68104 £9.00 Édouard LALO (1823–1892) Piano Trios Leonore Piano Trio: Benjamin Nabarro, Gemma Rosefield, Tim Horton Édouard Lalo sat at one remove from the French Musical Establishment, eschewing both the back- scratching of the Conservatoire and its members’ impressionist ‘musiques parfumés’. Instead we have big-boned melody—material into which the expert members of the Leonore Piano Trio sink their bows and fingers with appreciative gusto. CDA68113 £9.00 Felix MENDELSSOHN The Complete Solo Piano Music Volume 4 Howard Shelley The Op. 35 set of Preludes and Fugues is the most substantial single opus Mendelssohn wrote for solo piano, a mark of his reverence for the mighty Bach. Coupled with the popular fifth book of Songs without Words, we have here a heavyweight fourth volume in Howard Shelley’s compendium. CDA68125 £9.00 JANUARY 2016 All Prices Quoted are Dealer Prices 3 Highlight of the month Felix MENDELSSOHN Mendelssohn in Birmingham, Vol. 4: Violin Concerto in E minor; Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream Jennifer Pike, Rhian Lois, Keri Fuge CBSO Youth Chorus, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Edward Gardner In this new recording of orchestral works by Mendelssohn, the CBSO and its principal guest-conductor, Edward Gardner, join the violinist Jennifer Pike, who made a remarkable debut at Carnegie Hall this year. Here she performs the Violin Concerto in E minor, the piece that launched her career thirteen years ago when she became the youngest-ever winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Award. CHSA 5161 £9.00 (Hybrid SACD) Camille SAINT-SAËNS Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33; Cello Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 119; The Carnival of the Animals; Africa, Op. 89; Caprice-Valse, Op. 76 ‘Wedding-cake’ Truls Mørk, Louis Lortie, Hélène Mercier, Alasdair Malloy Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Neeme Järvi The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Neeme Järvi present this unusual collection of popular works by Saint-Saëns, for orchestra and piano or cello. Truls Mørk, this seasons Artist in Residence with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, is the soloist in the two contrasting cello concertos. His ‘seemingly flawless technical CHSA 5162 command’ is tested in the suave, expressive, famous No. 1 as well as in the many taxing solo passages, huge leaps, and double-stopping flourishes of No. 2. £9.00 (Hybrid SACD) Charles IVES Three Places in New England; A Symphony: New England Holidays; Central Park in the Dark; The Unanswered Question Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis In this second volume of orchestral works, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and its chief conductor Sir Andrew Davis play some of the most characteristic pieces of Charles Ives, an insurance salesman by trade and one of the most precociously original of all American composers. CHSA 5163 £9.00 (Hybrid SACD) Alberto GINASTERA Estancia; Ollantay; Pampeana No. 3 Lucas Somoza Osterc BBC Philharmonic, Juanjo Mena Impressive in the ongoing, successful Spanish music series, the BBC Philharmonic and its chief conductor, Juanjo Mena, explore the works of the Argentinean composer Alberto Ginastera in three orchestral volumes. Not only acknowledged as a leading South-American composer of his day, Ginastera is also
