tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2012 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Andreas Scholl, Elina Garanca, Maurizio Pollini, Alina Ibragimova, Gerald Finley, Angela Hewitt, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Valery Gergiev, Mark Minkowski, Vassily Petrenko, Steven Isserlis, Paul Lewis, Anne Sophie von Otter, Gidon Kremer: besides being some of the greatest classical musicians working today, these are just some of the artists with new releases coming out in October! It really is a wonderful time of year for those who may tire slightly of the numerous re-issues we see month by month (not that they are always a bad thing). Some of these new recordings promise to be very special indeed and we suspect the magazine reviewers will be struggling to choose their favourites over the next few weeks! Gramophone have just announced their award winners for 2012, featuring discs released over the last year or so. Congratulations go the Vox Luminis ensemble on winning Record of the Year with their recording of Heinrich Schutz’s Musicalische Exequien. If you haven’t yet heard this disc, now is certainly the time to try it, as we have special prices available on all the award winners - see the back cover for details. New special offers this month include the catalogues of labels such as BIS, Channel Classics, Harmonia Mundi (full-price), Australian Eloquence and Arthaus DVD & Blu-ray. Other small labels also feature of course and all of these can be found from p.10 onwards in this catalogue. One more thing to mention is an interesting new 2CD set from Decca, released in commemoration of Sir Georg Solti and featuring previously unpublished material. This promises to be a fascinating collection and is available at a reduced price for a limited period - see p.2 for details. Best regards as always from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35! Gramophone Award Winners 2012 - special prices available on all!
