Anderson Orchestral Works Vol 1
Piano Concerto, The Golden Years, Fiddle Faddle and many more light classical favourites
Jeffrey Biegel (piano), BBC Concert Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin (conductor)

POPULAR AMERICAN ORCHESTRAL CLASSICS You may not immediately recognise the name Leroy Anderson, but you are sure to have enjoyed many of his witty popular classics, such as Chicken Reel, Bugler’s Holiday and The Classical Jukebox. A superb craftsman, he also knew how to inject genuine humour into his compositions and arrangements. Anderson’s Piano Concerto, the major work on this sparkling CD, is increasingly being enjoyed in concert performances around the world. This new recording is beautifully recorded and is the first in a projected series presenting Anderson’s complete orchestral works. Who says great orchestral music can’t also be great fun?

RAVE REVIEWS FOR RUSALKA Richard Hickox and Opera Australia’s Australian premiere production of Dvorak’s Rusalka opened to spectacular reviews in March 2007. ‘Hickox and the orchestra capture its sudden changeability and dramatic force, elegantly shaping the luscious, sweeping melodies while inflecting the intoxicating, folk music-inspired rhythms with grace and bite’, noted The Australian. ‘It is hard to imagine anyone doing the title role better” (The Australian). ‘Cheryl Barker gives an astonishing performance… she manages to capture the ethereal other-worldly quality of the water spirit, both physically and vocally, and her realization that her love for the prince is not returned is heart wrenching’ (The Canberra Review). She is joined in leading roles by Rosario La Spina, Elizabeth Whitehouse, Bruce Martin and Anne-Marie Owens who also received excellent reviews. The Sydney Morning Herald, for example, wrote, ‘Barker is not the only star. Elizabeth Whitehouse is thrillingly venal as the rival foreign princess, and Bruce Martin, as the water sprite, has insistent potency’. Chandos recorded the performances live and here releases the opera on a specially-priced 3-CD set.

• Alexandre Tharaud is a thoughtful, subtle pianist who brings this Romantic music to life with compelling power
• Discover delightful piano works by Mompou, too
• This CD is bound to become a classic recording

CHOPIN'S YOUNG CHAMPION Chopin's Preludes are deservedly evergreens of the piano repertoire, a kaleidoscope of character pieces whose elusive and contrasting moods have entranced listeners and challenged pianists for generations. Seldom have they received such mesmerising interpretations as those achieved by the young French pianist Alexandre Tharaud, who always performs them as a complete set. Also featured on this gorgeously recorded new release are Mompou's Musica calladra No 15, Prelude No 9 and El Lago (The Lake)

The Full Monteverdi (Madrigals Book 4)
A Film by John La Bouchardiere
I Fagiolini
A UNIQUE MUSIC-DRAMA ON CONTEMPORARY LOVE 'Sitting in a London restaurant, I noticed a couple by the window straining to keep their angry voices down; at another table to my left a man stared at his menu, desperately avoiding eye-contact with his partner; a lonely woman to my right appeared to have been stood-up and I was struck by the realization that people go through the same crises at the same time – even in the same space – and could, therefore, utter similar things simultaneously,' notes director John La Bouchardière of this truly extraordinary staging of Monteverdi's Fourth Book of Madrigals.

Sibelius Scenes Historiques 1, 2, King Christian Suite
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Pietari Inkinen (conductor)
NATIONAL SPIRIT Sibelius’s first set of Scenes Historiques forms a suite taken from music for a patriotic pageant, staged in 1899 at a time of increasing Finnish nationalism. For his second Scenes Historiques, Sibelius composed new music. In the opening The Chase, horns are heard through the mist, followed by the wild chase, with its impelling rhythms. The incidental music for Adolf Paul’s play King Christian II, set in the 16th century, deals with the King’s love of a commoner, her murder by a jealous rival and the King’s bloodthirsty revenge. It includes a strongly-felt love scene, Nocturne, with many elements characteristic of the composer’s future musical language.

Alwyn Seascapes, Invocations
Elin Manahan Thomas (soprano), Jeremy Huw Williams (baritone), John Turner (treble recorder), Iain Burnside (piano)
LATE-FLOWERING GARLAND OF SONGS William Alwyn (1905-1985) composed prolifically in virtually all genres, orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental. His major works for the voice were composed during the latter part of his career, between 1965 and 1980, and include four of the song-cycles recorded here. These are settings of poems by the composer himself, the Irish poet Louis MacNeice, and the composer’s good friend, Michael Armstrong, who lived for over 40 years in Jersey where he derived much inspiration from the sea and the surrounding landscape. Seven of the songs here receive their world première recording.

Mozart Davide penitente
Trine Wilsberg Lund (soprano), Kristina Wahlin (soprano), Lothar Odinius (tenor), Immortal Bach Ensemble, Leipziger Kammerorchester, Morten Schuldt-Jensen (conductor)
A MOZART RARITY In 1785, at the height of his career in Vienna, Mozart was commissioned by the Viennese Society of Musicians to write a work for a Lenten benefit concert. Short of time, he recycled the Kyrie and Gloria from his earlier unfinished Mass in C Minor to form part of the oratorio Davide penitente. Drawing upon the psalms of David, both penitential and joyful, this is a work of great beauty, notable for its memorable choruses, exquisite writing for the woodwind and, in particular, the two new solo arias, A te, fra tanti affanni (In you, amid such tribulation) and Tra l’oscure ombre funeste (Amid the dark grievous shadows), both of which begin with a long expressive opening followed by a virtuoso second section.

Tchaikovsky Ballet Suites (Transcriptions for Piano Four Hands)
Aurora Duo
BALLETS IN BLACK AND WHITE It is astonishing to recall that five years after the premiere of Swan Lake, one of the greatest Russian ballets, and of Tchaikovsky’s three full-length ballets the one with the greatest number of memorable tunes, the composer wrote to his editor: 'To save this music from sinking into oblivion, I would like to make it into a concert suite modelled on Delibes… published both as a symphonic score and as a transcription for four hands.' The original transcription by the pianist Eduard Langer is heard on this recording with piano duet versions of concert suites from The Sleeping Beauty, commissioned from Rachmaninov and Ziloti, though later corrected by the composer himself, and from The Nutcracker, transcribed by Stepan Esipoff.

Vivaldi Griselda
Giles Tomkins (bass), Marion Newman (mezzo-soprano), Carla Huhtanen (soprano), Lynne McMurtry (mezzo-soprano), Jason Nedecky (baritone), Colin Ainsworth (tenor), Aradia Ensemble, Kevin Mallon (conductor)
LOVE PUT TO THE ULTIMATE TEST Vivaldi’s opera Griselda is based on a story retold in Boccaccio’s Decameron about the testing of Griselda’s patience and virtue by her royal husband through a series of cruel trials. The sense of drama that permeates many of Vivaldi’s more programmatic works, such as the Four Seasons, is very naturally carried over into his operas, especially with the use of so-called ‘simile’ arias, in which an emotional state is compared with various natural phenomena. Several very fine examples can be heard in Griselda, including Costanza’s extraordinary ‘Agitata da due venti’ in Act Two; the text compares love and duty with two contrary winds, and the setting is correspondingly wild, with fierce fioriture and wide leaps.

Rossini La Donna del Lago
Sonia Ganassi (mezzo-soprano), Maxim Mironov (tenor), Marianna Pizzolato (mezzo-soprano), Ferdinand von Bothmer (tenor), Wojtek Gierlach (bass), Olga Peretyatko (soprano), Stefan Cifolelli (tenor), Prague Chamber Choir, Tubingen Festival Band, SWR Radio Orchestra Kaiserslautern, Alberto Zedda (conductor)
ROMANTIC ROSSINI First staged in Naples in 1819, Rossini’s opera La donna del lago is based on Walter Scott’s romantic poem The Lady of the Lake, setting a precedent for later composers, who also drew on Scott for their plots. Set in 16th-century Scotland, the opera deals with the conflict between the Highland clansmen under Douglas and King James V, who generously forgives his enemy and allows the betrothal of his beloved Ellen, Douglas’s daughter, to his former enemy, Malcolm. In addition to the famous aria 'Mura felici', there are many other atmospheric moments to savour.

Josquin Missa Sine Nomine, Missa Ad Fugam
The Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips (director)
IMMORTAL MUSIC BY THE RENAISSANCE MASTER This stunning new release is the third CD in The Tallis Scholars’ projected Complete Josquin Mass Cycle. The Tallis Scholars have been performing Josquin's music regularly in concert for over 20 years. Their 1986 CD of his 'Pange lingua' and 'La sol fa re mi' Masses (CDGIM009) remains the only recording of Early Music to have won the Gramophone Record of the Year Award. This new recording presents the only two Masses by Josquin which are entirely based on canons (a single melody stated in different voice-parts at different times so that it overlaps with itself). An astonishing feat, given the radiant beauty and emotional impact he achieves using such strict counterpoint.

FRENCH BAROQUE DELIGHTS The French violinist and composer Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville (1711-1772) was a younger contemporary of Jean-Philippe Rameau and enjoyed great success in his day. He gained the patronage of Louis XV's mistress Madame de Pompadour and won several musical posts, including violinist for the Concert Spirituel.

This classic recording, mainly devoted to Maronite traditional singing, also contains examples from the Syrian Christian repertories.

ROCOCO CHARM AND OPTIMISM characterises Boccherini's music, with much melodic and rhythmic invention, coupled with frequent influences from the guitar tradition of his adopted country, Spain. Although neglected after his death, his works have regained recognition, for instance in the soundtrack to Peter Weir's film Master and Commander, on recordings and in concert halls. Ensemble 415 comprises fresh young performers led by the famous violinist Chiara Banchini.

Cardoso Mass and Magnificat
Ensemble Vocal Europeen, Philippe Herreweghe (director)
RENAISSANCE CHORAL MASTER Manuel Cardoso (1566-1650) was a Portuguese composer and organist from the golden age of Portuguese polyphony. Many of his works were tragically destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake and fire of 1755 but what remains is lavish and lushly-written and all the more precious for having survived.

FESTIVA MUSIC FOR A FRENCH KING'S BIRTH In 1638, the French ambassador to Venice commissioned 'the most solemn and refined music imaginable' to celebrate with pomp the birth of the heir to the throne of France - the future Sun King, Louis XIV. Giovanni Rovetta was Monteverdi's right-hand man and later his successor at San Marco.

EARTH-SHAKING RENAISSANCE MASTERPIECE There is nothing comparable to Brumel's 'Earthquake' Mass, a 12-part choral spectacle with astonishing musical effects. Thomas Tallis's famous 40-part motet Spem in alium comes close, but Brumel's Mass is more elaborate and extensive.
