Canteloube Chants d'Auvergne Vol 2
Veronique Gens (soprano), Orchestre National de Lille, Serge Baudo (conductor)

• Second Volume of the top-selling set of Canteloube’s Songs of the Auvergne
• Vol 1 also available on Naxos 8557491
• Award-winning soprano Veronique Gens regularly performs with William Christie, Marc Minkowski, Philippe Herreweghe, Rene Jacobs, Christophe Rousset and other leading conductors
• Songs of the Auvergne is Canteloube’s best-loved work – gorgeous orchestral settings of traditional French chansons

FROM THE HEART OF FRANCE WITH LOVE Since his death in 1957 Joseph Canteloube has become widely known for his folk-song arrangements, in particular his evergreen Chants d’Auvergne. The first volume was highly praised: '[Veronique Gens’] singing is smooth and delicate, with plenty of body in the tone for some of the earthier movements...This will no doubt become the interpretation for the present decade.' (The Gramophone). Vol 2 also includes two rarely performed works: excerpts from Chants de France and the Triptyque, three exquisite settings worthy of being ranked alongside the greatest songs by Chausson and Ravel.

Bloch Violin Concerto, Baal Shem for Violin Solo and Orchestra, Suite Hebraique
Zina Schiff (violin), Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Jose Serebrier (conductor)

• Ernest Bloch, recognised during his lifetime as a successor to Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, wrote passionate Romantic music, rich in melodies and lushly orchestrated
• Violinist Zina Schiff, ‘luscious high voltage...vintage Heifetz’ (New York Times), is, in fact, a Jascha Heifetz protege who has dazzled audiences throughout North America, Europe and Australia
• The RSNO has a world-wide reputation for the quality of its recordings
• Jose Serebrier is one of the most recorded conductors of his generation, hailed by Leopold Stokowski as ‘The greatest master of orchestral balance’

EPIC, PASSIONATE, POWERFUL A precocious violin talent, Ernest Bloch (1880-1959) left home at the age of seventeen to study with the illustrious Belgian violinist and composer, Eugene Ysaye. Bloch’s Violin Concerto is one of his most important works, drawing its major themes from American Indian songs heard on a visit to New Mexico. The Suite Hebraique, which draws on traditional melodies to evoke a sense of nostalgia, and the exotic tryptich Baal Shem (Three Pictures of Chassidic Life), are indelibly associated with this Romantic composer.

Haydn Symphonies Vol 32
Sinfonia Finlandia, Patrick Gallois (conductor)

• Haydn’s ever-popular music never fails to delight with its beauty, high spirits and superb craft: he deserves the name ‘Father of the Symphony’
• Sinfonia Finlandia performs with irresistible freshness and verve
• The famous flautist Patrick Gallois is now gaining a strong reputation as an outstanding conductor

BIRTH OF THE CLASSICAL SYMPHONY The four symphonies included here (Nos 9-12), from early in Haydn’s career and from the beginnings of the Classical symphony, show that he was already a mature musician who approached each new symphony as an experiment in form and scoring. Symphony No 9 is more like an overture than a symphony, Symphonies Nos 10 and 12 dispense with the customary Minuet, while Symphony No 11, written in the older style of a church sonata, opens with a beautiful Adagio cantabile.

Hubay Fantaisie brillante on Bizet’s Carmen Op 3 No 3, Raff Duo on themes from Wagner’s Lohengrin, Op 63 No 3, Stravinsky Parasha’s Aria from Mavra, Golijov Desde mi ventana from Ainadamar Weill Song of Human Insufficiency/Mack the Knife, Prutsman Fantasy Extract on Themes from Der Rosenkavalier, Paganini I palpiti: Introduction and Variations on Di tanti palpiti from Rossini’s Tancredi, Bizet Au fond du temple saint from The Pearl Fishers, Lalo Aubade: Vainement, ma bien-aimee from Le roi d’Ys
Opera Fantasies for Violin
Livia Sohn (violin), Geoff Nuttall (violin, viola), Benjamin Loeb (piano)

• Perfect for opera lovers and violin/viola fans!
• Three world premieres: Golijov, Prutsman and Bizet
• First Prize in the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition, violinist Livia Sohn has been described as ‘having everything-youth, talent, and beauty’. She has appeared with over 65 orchestras on five continents.

THE SINGING VIOLIN The virtuoso operatic fantasy came into its own in the 19th Century, notably with Paganini, whose variations on Rossini’s I Palpiti are included here. Stefan Frenkel's technically very demanding arrangements of songs from The Threepenny Opera provide a dazzling showpiece in the 19th-century virtuoso tradition. The haunting Desde mi ventana (From my window) from Osvaldo Golijov’s fusion opera Aimnadamar (Fountain of Tears) is heard in an arrangement for two violins and piano.

Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies Nos 1-6
Staatskapelle Weimar, Arthur Fagen (conductor)

• Performed by Liszt's own orchestra
• The renowned Staatskapelle Weimar, founded more than 400 years ago, also employed JS Bach and Richard Strauss
• Its recording of Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony (Naxos 8557811) was Gramophone Editor’s Choice and BBC Music Magazine’s CD of the month

THE ORIGINAL GYPSY ORCHESTRA Franz Liszt's fifteen Hungarian Rhapsodies, piano pieces in Hungarian gypsy style, won wide popularity, and six of these were later orchestrated, with the help of flautist and conductor Franz Doppler, to whom Liszt himself gave full credit for the work. The six orchestrations are, themselves, lively instrumental pieces, performed on this recording by the Weimar orchestra that Liszt himself once directed.

Grieg Peer Gynt Suites Nos 1 & 2, The First Meeting from The Fisher-Maiden Op 21 No 1, The Mountain Thrall Op 32, Six Orchestral Songs
Inger Dam-Jensen (soprano), Palle Knudsen (baritone), Malmo Symphony Orchestra, Bjarte Engeset (conductor)

• Includes all the best-loved movements from Peer Gynt: Morning, The Death of Ase, Anitra’s Dance and In the Hall of the Mountain King
• The multi-award-winning Malmo Symphony Orchestra is a young and vigorous ensemble from Sweden
• Inger Dam-Jensen ‘is a soprano who has everything – great looks, a sparkling voice that never loses its quality, glittering allure and intensity’ (Financial Times)
• Young baritone Palle Knudsen graduated from the Royal Opera Academy in 1998 and sings for the Royal Opera, Copenhagen

NORDIC MAGIC Grieg’s greatly loved incidental music to Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt is among the foremost expressions of Norwegian national identity. Comprising the most popular numbers, Suite No 1 was an immediate success. Of Grieg’s 180 or so songs, many of which owe their inspiration to the composer’s wife, Nina, the yearning Solveig’s Song (track 11) is the most often performed. With The Mountain Thrall, the longest of Grieg’s orchestral songs, we enter the realm of the troll-forests, ruled by deadly dangerous supernatural powers.

NAXOS | 8570289 | CD | 747313028979
Symphony No 2 in D minor ‘Elegiac’, Symphony No 5 in D major ‘L’Allegro ed il Penseroso’, Op 56
Stanford Symphonies Vol 2
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, David Lloyd-Jones (conductor)

• Stanford’s music is similar to that of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms – melodious, Romantic repertoire – with a British accent
• The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra has an outstanding discography, including Stanford Symphonies Vol 1 (Nos 4 & 7) on Naxos 8570285
• ’Traditionalists will love these devoted performances’ (The Observer)

VICTORIAN SYMPHONIES Among the British composers immediately before Elgar, the most significant was Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, whose seven symphonies cover the greater part of his career. These accomplished works boast resourceful and subtle orchestration. Symphony No 2, completed in 1880, is prefaced by a quotation from Tennyson’s In Memoriam. Symphony No 5 was inspired by Milton’s poems L’Allegro and Il Penseroso, lines from which are included in the score, and reprinted in the booklet accompanying this recording.

NAXOS | 8570437 | CD | 747313043774
String Quartets No 1 in B flat minor Op 4, No 3 in D minor Op 7
Taneyev String Quartets Vol 1
Carpe Diem String Quartet

• Formed in 2004, Carpe Diem String Quartet is an exciting new group that has captured the imagination of audiences and critics alike
• Taneyev was the most trusted musician among Tchaikovsky's friends, and an accomplished composer in his own right
• In his music ‘Everything extraneous is discarded’, yet it possesses ‘extraordinary beauty and expressiveness’

NOBLE RUSSIAN MUSIC A pupil of Tchaikovsky, Sergey Taneyev (1856–1915) is best known today for his four symphonies, though he also composed chamber music, including six string quartets. These beautifully crafted works are marked by technical assurance, dramatic inspiration and intense lyricism. The masterly five-movement Quartet No 1 includes two notable slow movements, while the lighter Quartet No 3 features a graceful theme with eight variations, alternately playful and contemplative.

SECRETS OF THE RING REVEALED This audiobook introduces in words and music the plot and background to one of the most ambitious operatic cycles in the history of Western music. For all its grandeur and complexity, Wagner's The Ring is much more accessible than is frequently thought, and this 2-CD guide introduces the characters, and shows how Wagner's revolutionary music adds fascinating layers of psychological insight and meaning to the ancient myths on which it is based. And, of course, it presents the most stirring musical highlights. Includes a 16-page booklet with notes by Jeremy Siepmann. ALSO AVAILABLE: An Introduction to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde (8558195) and The Flying Dutchman (8558013).
