JUNE 2008 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer June sees the release of some important new recordings from renowned world-class artists. The most celebrated is likely to be Rolando Villazon’s much anticipated new solo arias album on DG which no doubt will attract plaudits from his supporters world-wide, and with good reason. A truly great artist! Also worth noting on DG are Daniel Harding’s new Mahler 10 with the Vienna Philharmonic and Pollini’s complete Beethoven Concerto set with Abbado. On EMI, Simon Rattle makes an appearance with his reliable Berliners performing Stravinsky whilst the remarkable Martha Argerich continues her outstanding recording career, this time with music for 2 pianos. There are a number of Britten recordings deserving of a special mention. As well as a new Owen Wingrave from Hickox on Chandos, we have on Nimbus a fascinating live performance of Albert Herring with Britten conducting and Basil Cameron directing, from Copenhagen in 1949. Also, available for the first time on Decca DVD, Peter Pears features in 4 historically important films - Billy Budd and Peter Grimes from the 1960s, Schubert’s Winterreise, and Mozart’s Idomeneo in Britten’s performing edition sung in English. As usual, we have put together a feast of special reductions on both CD and DVD including Opera on Universal, Harmonia Mundi’s full price catalogue, the EMI GROC series, and many more. Enjoy the list and we look forward to being favoured with your orders.
