On November 17, Cappella Records is proud to present the world première recording of DANIEL KNAGGS' TWO STREAMS, performed by the GRAMMY® Award-winning Houston Chamber Choir led by Robert Simpson, with string ensemble Kinetic and world-class soloists.With musical threads dyed in Medieval, baroque, and contemporary colors, Knaggs' 2021 cantata weaves a breathtaking tapestry, an exploration of love and mercy that gives profound meaning to the transitory nature of life.Two Streams is structured around the words of Polish nun Maria Faustina Kowalska (1905–1938). From a poor family that struggled during the years of the First World War, she joined the Congregation of Sisters of Mercy where she received heavenly messages to share with the world, inspiring this sublime music by Daniel Knaggs.Available on SACD and produced by multi-GRAMMY® Award winner Blanton Alspaugh and the team at SoundMirror.TracksDaniel Knaggs (b. 1983)Two Streams Prologue (3:39) Thick Darkness (6:14) Song of Mercy I (3:11) Invocations (5:42) Only Love (3:32) Song of Mercy II (3:10) Merciful Heart (7:24) Meditation (6:11) Song of Mercy III (4:37) Mercy to Others (4:49) Mother of Mercy (6:15) Song of Mercy IV (4:32) Come, O Earth (5:08) Epilogue (5:29) Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) This album is broadcast with the permission of Sean Dacy from Rosebrook Media.

Michael A. Muller's meditative debut album Lower River explores the place where space, time, and self are occluded; a study in hearing versus listening and engaging with sounds that challenge what music ought to be. On 22 September 2023, the Balmorhea co-founder's full-length solo album—originally released in 2019—will be reissued digitally by Deutsche Grammophon. The release will be followed on 20 October by DG's reissue of Lower River Reworks, a companion album featuring re-imaginings of Muller's tracks by specially commissioned artists. Each album has also been exclusively expanded, with the new track “Glyph III” added to Lower River and a new version of “Recedes” from German master minimalist Alva Noto added to Lower River Reworks.  Masayoshi Fujita Rework New Symmetry - Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch Rework Glyph I - Marcus Fischer Rework Heather Woods Broderick, Elan Green - Seen - Saariselka Rework Glyph II - Julia Kent Rework Elyria - Daigo Hanada Rework Fixed Shadow - David Moore & Bing & Ruth Rework Recedes - Duane Pitre Rework Recedes Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

“My ultimate recommendation [for Górecki's Symphony No. 3] goes not to Nonesuch's success, but to the moving recording on Koch Schwann [reissued here on Alto] – this is heartfelt music-making, pure and simple, that succeeds admirably in conveying the sorrow of these aptly named songs. Koch also provides better value for money with their inclusion of the very approachable Three Pieces in Old Style. … [‘Totus Tuus' is] a simple, fetching, unaccompanied motet, written for Pope John Paul's visit to Poland.” -GramophoneTracksSymphony No. 3, Op. 36 “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs” I.

James Sedares and the Phoenix Symphony make a strong argument that Copland's film music and opera suites are every bit as masterful as his most famous works. These works are coupled with Eduard Brunner's atmospheric performance of Copland's Clarinet Concerto.“Copland [in ‘The Red Pony' is] displaying his simple gifts for the ready folk-tune and here the Phoenix woodwinds have what it takes. … It was interesting re-hearing his ‘Tender Land' suite. So skillful is Copland's orchestral transcription that one might easily be lulled into thinking this had been conceived solely for orchestra. As trumpets signal a new dawn over the open prairies, Laurie and Martin's love blossoms in some of his most generous music outside ‘Appalachian Spring'. That evocative solo trumpet again leads the emotional surge. No problems with the barn dancing ‘Party Scene'. This is Steinbeck's country just as surely as is ‘The Red Pony'. [James ]Sedares leads a spirited rendition, his warm and willing woodwinds stealing the honors.” -GramophoneTracksThe Red Pony, Suite from the film I. Morning on the Ranch (5:08) II.

Mozart composed his first string quintet at age 17 and his last in the year of his death, so it might seem that he wrote string quintets across the span of his career, but that is not the case. His first quintet was a foray into new territory for the young composer, and then Mozart set the form aside for fourteen years — his final five quintets were all created in the last four years of his life. As such, they represent some of his most sophisticated musical thinking. They offer wonderful music, exhilarating to hear (and to play!), sometimes very moving, and always very beautiful. In his quintets, Mozart did not set out to make the viola the star, but the addition of the extra viola offered him a broader canvas and unlocked new possibilities. His quintets generate a richer, fuller sound….and they offer increased opportunities to contrast different groupings of instruments and sonorities….(two of these quintets are among his longest chamber works, longer in fact than any of his symphonies).TracksDisc 1String Quintet in B-Flat Major, K. 174 (26:43) I.

SOMM RECORDINGS is delighted to announce the return of pianist Peter Donohoe to the label following his acclaimed complete survey of Mozart's Piano Sonatas with a dazzling new recital coupling Rachmaninoff – on the 150th anniversary of his birth in 1873 – and Chopin.“Rachmaninoff is unimaginable without Chopin,” asserts Russian music expert Marina Frolova-Walker in authoritative booklet notes that point to Rachmaninoff's long engagement with Chopin's music in the concert hall and recording studio.TracksSergei RachmaninoffVariations on a Theme of Chopin, Op. 22 (28:57) Theme, Variations 1-10 (6:29) Variations 11-14 (6:33) Variations 15-18 (5:03) Variations 19-21 (5:01) Variation 22 (5:48) Frédéric ChopinPiano Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 35 (25:31) I.

Boult had led the UK premiere of Berg's excoriating setting of Georg Büchner's play about a war-scarred veteran driven to madness and murder in 1934, although only Act II of that performance survives. This complete 1949 recording with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Heinrich Nillius's Wozzeck and Suzanne Danco's Marie – only the second UK performance – adds to Boult's and the opera's stature on disc. Recorded live in London's Royal Albert Hall, it is a remarkable document of an exhilarating performance.Boult's pioneering championing of ‘new' music is also heard in his recording of Stravinsky's Capriccio, with the BBC SO and the prodigiously gifted Australian Noel Mewton-Wood taking the piano line.TracksCD1Alban Berg (1885-1935)Wozzeck, Op. 7, Act I Scene 1: The Captain's Room (8:25) Scene 2: An Open Field Outside the Town (6:33) Scene 3: Marie's Room (7:54) Scene 4: The Doctor's Study (7:20) Scene 5: Street Before Marie's Door (3:12) Act II Scene 1: Marie's Room (5:05) Scene 2: Street in Town (8:35) Scene 3: Street Before Marie's Door (3:14) Scene 4: Tavern Garden (10:16) Scene 5: Guardroom in the Barracks (4:48) CD2Act III Scene 1: Marie's Room (4:56) Scene 2: Forest Path by the Pool (4:26) Scene 3: A Low Tavern (2:42) Scene 4: Forest Path by a Pool (4:42) Orchestral Interlude – Adagio (3:22) Scene 5: Street Before Marie's Door (1:41) Sir Adrian Boult recalls his years with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, in conversation with Bernard Keeffe (9:17) Igor StravinskyCapriccio (16:54) I.

“Dreams, Desires, Desolation was created out of our love for English Song. The album comprises a real mixture of very familiar songs, along with some relatively unknown ones, and a few which were very popular in their day but have fallen out of fashion.

On this one-of-a-kind album, the outstanding Danish ensemble Mathias Reumert Group presents three of Cuban composer Louis Franz Aguirre's strongest pieces, including the large-scale composition for percussion ensemble and flute soloist, Orula (Liturgia de la Adivinación), a journey in extreme sonorities, complex polyrhythms and searing microtonal melodies.“I come from a culture where rhythm is the rationale for life and death. Where the drums are a means to worship, to communicate, and to call the Orishas to come down to Earth”, says the composer.According to percussionist/conductor Mathias Reumert, “learning these works took years and left us forever changed. Listeners will understand”. A quote from musicologist Dr. Iván César Morales best sums up the experience: “Aguirres music has the power of an exorcism!”.Louis Aguirre (1968) is a Cuban composer resident in Denmark. Aguirre was educated as a composer, violinist and conductor at the University of Arts in Havana, Cuba, under the guidance of Harold Gramatges and Roberto Valera. When he was 27 years old, he became the artistic director and chief conductor of the Symphony Orchestra in his birth town, Camagüey, as well as guest conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra and the Santiago de Cuba Symphony Orchestra. He also was a professor at the Camagüey's Music Conservatory and artistic director and chairman of the International Festival of Contemporary Music (1996-2002) in Camagüey.Louis Aguirre is an award-winning composer whose music has been labelled as “Music from hell”and“Not for the faint of heart”. He is one of the foremost Latin American composers of his generation, yet only a handful of recordings exists.TracksLouis Franz Aguirre (b. 1968) Orula (Liturgia de la Adivinación) (2011) (34:32) Oru a Temayá y Obba (2012) (9:12) Oriki a Shangó: Kabiosile!

Samuel Andreyev's music is incredibly varied, from the sparse resonance of the Sonata da Camera, the ‘cartoon music' – as the composer puts it – of Vérifications, characterized by primary colors and strong instrumental timbres; the Sextet in Two Parts which in contrast focuses on minute timbral shadings; and of course the cantata for solo voice and ensemble which is the title track of the album.Performed by ensemble proton bern, conducted by Luigi Gaggero with the magical soprano voice of Peyee Chen on In Glow of Like Seclusion (set to verse by J. H. Prynne), this album was beautifully captured in Zurich in 2022. The CD and digital album is to be followed with a double-LP vinyl version in the New Year.Samuel Andreyev's music has been featured in portrait concerts in Bern, Geneva, Toronto, Paris, Kyiv, Strasbourg, Montréal, Tours, and many other cities. Andreyev is a laureate of the Henri Dutilleux Prize (2012, for ‘Night Division'), and the Grand Prix Lycéen des Compositeurs (2020, for ‘Vérifications'). He is also Vice President of the music council of the Fondation Prince Pierre (Monaco). With his YouTube channel and Podcast, Samuel Andreyev presents lectures on musical topics, as well as long-form interviews with prominent musicians as varied as Brian Ferneyhough, every member of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, Linda Catlin Smith, Hugues Dufourt, Adam Neely and countless others. He has twice been a featured guest on the Jordan Peterson Podcast, in addition to appearances on Vox, The Symbolic World, Classical Chats and many others.Tracks Sonata de Camera (2020-21) (22:15)Sextet in Two Parts (2019) I.

The short-lived, San Francisco-based Women's Philharmonic, founded in 1981 and disbanded in 2004, had an enormous impact on America's classical music scene, promoting not only the music of woman composers but performances by prominent woman conductors and soloists. In 1992, they made their first recording for the Koch International Classics label under the direction of conductor JoAnn Falletta. Musical Concepts is pleased to return this recording, featuring works by Fanny Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann, Germaine Tailleferre, and Lili Boulanger, to international availability.TracksFanny Mendelssohn Ouverture (arr.

To the general amazement of musical circles, Aleksander Tansman, a citizen of Lódz, a young student of law, and a student of Piotr Rytel and Henryk Melcer swept all three prizes (the Grand Prix and two honorable mentions) at the first Warsaw composition competition, organized in independent Poland in 1919. Owing to this spectacular success, he then organized his first composition concert in Lódz and Warsaw. During the concert held on the 27th of February 1919 in Lódz, he performed together with Eli Kochanski his first three compositions for cello and piano, including Sonata No.1 (Allegro, Adagio, Fugue), written in 1918. The manuscripts later went missing; however, the fact that they once existed and the record of favorable critical reviews after the concert proves the young composer's interest in the cello as a solo instrument.Track Listing:1 Deux pieces pour violoncelle et piano_I Melodie Lento2 Deux pieces pour violoncelle et piano_II Capriccio Molto vivo3 Sonate No. 2 pour violoncelle et piano_ I Allegro moderato4 II Largo5 III Scherzo Allegro grazioso6 Fantaisie pour violoncelle avec orchestre ou piano_Moderato - Molto vivace7 Partita pour violoncelle et piano_I Pre´ambule, Interlude et Toccata Lento8 II Dialogue et Aria Andante sostenuto - Molto piu lento sostenuto - tempo primo9 III Divertimento Allegro10 IV Interlude Andante cantabile - Tranquillo11 V Cadence et Fugue Largo improvisando - Allegro deciso12 Quatre pieces faciles pour violoncelle et piano_ I Cavatine Moderato13 II Sicilienne Andante grazioso14 III Rondine Allegro ma non troppo15 IV Serenade AllegrettoHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

When it comes to putting together a programme, Zsófia lets instinct guide her: “My choice of music repertory is intuitive. Pieces of music are like places for me, like spaces that I visit, step into and experience. They all have their own mood and colour, their own scent, their own pulse and a special effect on me. Each place calls for different forms of behaviour in me. Sometimes I am allowed to surrender myself freely to the moment, sometimes I channel a certain pulse and go with it. Elsewhere I just observe, I am a part of the space and adapt to the ‘local customs', so I make an effort to follow the unwritten rules.”Track Listing:1 De reve et de pluie2 Salir adentro3 El abrazo4 Milonga5 Le secret d'Hiroshige6 Perle de Rosee7 Tormenta de ilusion (Ronroco)8 Le labyrinthe de Vermeer9 Berceuse10 Valse pour Camille11 El ultimo alientoHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

The history of music-making in Rome tends to focus on Renaissance polyphony, with an occasional nod to the Baroque thereafter. But thanks to composers like Giovanni Battista Casali (1715–92), choral music continued to flourish in Roman churches and other religious establishments in the eighteenth century, too, until Napoleon's occupation broke many of its traditions. Casali's music, though, is as good as unknown, and this pioneering recording reveals a composer at home in the galant style – with a surprising fondness for the occasional dissonance.Tracks Confitebor tibi, Domine (2:02) Comedetis carnes (2:54) Adiuva nos, Deus (2:18) Improperium expectavit* (2:34) Tantum ergo (3:38) Christum regem adoremus (2:37) Ad te levavi (2:38) Ave Maria a4 (3:38) Exaltabo te (2:50) Hodie nobis de caelo (2:23) Quem vidistis pastores (2:36) Constitues eos (2:13) Ave Maria a8 (4:05) Justus ut palma (2:45) Scapulis suis (3:32) Caro mea, vere est cibus (3:18) Haec dies (2:39) Memoria fecit (Confitebor in D)(2:22) Gloria Patri (Confitebor in D) (3:26) All Except * First RecordingsHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcast with the permission of Sean Dacy from Rosebrook Media.

Harpist to Queen Victoria, the Welsh composer John Thomas (1826–1913) also wrote prolifically for his own instrument, both for solo harp and for duos of two harps or harp and piano – a combination where the different sounds of the two instruments enhance the clarity of the texture. Thomas' original works use the elegant Romantic style of his own day, but he also left a generous legacy of transcriptions, especially of operatic favorites. Although some of his music was intended for the Victorian drawing room, other pieces require a virtuoso technique – and all of it has a thoroughly engaging melodic appeal.TracksCharles Gounod, arr.

The Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865–1950) is best remembered for his development of Eurhythmics, which teaches the appreciation of music through movement. This first-ever complete recording of all his German-language Lieder – setting folksongs as well as more recent Romantic poetry – shows him bridging both French and German traditions with a style somewhere between Fauré and Brahms. Written early in Jaques-Dalcroze's career, these songs span a wide range of emotions, from innocent rural idylls to the contemplation of existential painand heartache.TracksSechs Lieder, Op. 14 (publ. 1892) (11:47) No. 1 Hochzeitslied (1:18) No. 2 Wie lan' die Nacht (3:01) No. 3 Rosenzeit, wie schnell vorbei (1:49) No. 4 Lied des Alten (1:57) No. 5 Die Glocken läuten (1:48) No. 6 Hast du von den Fischerkindern (1:54) Sechs Lieder, Op. 15 (publ. 1892) (8:46) No. 1 Lied des Glücklichen (1:29) No. 2 Kindergebet (1:20) No. 3 In der Fremde (1:30) No. 4 Ich nehm' es leicht (0:59) No. 5 Lieb' Liebchen (1:22) No. 6 Als schweigend ich die rothe Rose (2:06) Zehn Lieder (publ. 1913) (22:57) No. 1 Gruss (2:55) No. 2 Schmied Schmerz (2:31) No. 3 Regenlied (2:20) No. 4 Entzückung (2:08) No. 5 Hat gesagt – bleibt's nicht dabei (2:07) No. 6 Das Lied von ferne (2:06) No. 7 Gewitter (1:25) No. 8 Spinn, Mägdlein, spinn!

Leo Ornstein is as well known for his extraordinary longevity as for his music: he was born in Ukraine in 1893 and died in Wisconsin in 2002, aged at least 108. His generous output of music, much of it for the piano, his own instrument, remains poorly known, although it can stand shoulder to shoulder with that of many better-known names. Some of the pieces here – which cover a span of over 60 years – have their roots in Debussy, Skryabin, and Szymanowski, but Ornstein welds those influences into an edgy, energetic language very much his own. The Three Moods of c. 1914 are anger, grief, and joy, but there is strength of feeling in all the music to be heard here. Indeed, the Nine Vignettes bear a misleading title: they are substantial and powerful virtuoso essays that can flare up into moments of startling power and violence; hitherto unknown, they constitute a major contribution to the piano literature.TracksNine Vignettes, s380 (1977) (34:39) No. 1 Moderato (4:49) No. 2 Con Moto (3:08) No. 3 Moderato (3:21) No. 4 Animato (4:26) No. 5 Moderato (2:09) No. 6 Allegro (3:30) No. 7 Animato (4:15) No. 8 Moderato (3:15) No. 9 Moderato con moto (5:46) Bagatelle, s100 (1952) (1:30) A Moment of Retrospect, s156 (?1950s) (4:45) The Cathedral, s73 (1916) (2:50) Nocturne, No. 1, s153 (c. 1922) (8:47) Three Moods, s5 (c. 1914)* (11:13) No. 1 Anger: Agitato (2:38) No. 2 Grief (5:32) No. 3 Joy: Presto (3:03) All Except * First Recordings*First Digital RecordingHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcast with the permission of Sean Dacy from Rosebrook Media.

Heinrich Schütz (18 October 1585 – 6 November 1672) was a German early Baroque composer and organist, generally regarded as the most important German composer before Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as one of the most important composers of the 17th century. He is credited with bringing the Italian style to Germany and continuing its evolution from the Renaissance into the Early Baroque. Most of his surviving music was written for the Lutheran church, primarily for the Electoral Chapel in Dresden. He wrote what is traditionally considered the first German opera, Dafne, performed at Torgau in 1627, the music of which has since been lost, along with nearly all of his ceremonial and theatrical scores. Schütz was a prolific composer, with more than 500 surviving works.Tracklist O primavera, SWV 1 O dolcezze amarissime, SWV 2 Selve beate, SWV 3 Alma afflitta, SWV 4 Così morir debb'io, SWV 5 D'orrida selce alpina, SWV 6 Ride la primavera, SWV 7 Fuggi o mio core, SWV 8 Feritevi, ferite, SWV 9 Flamma ch'allacia, SWV 10 Quella damma son io, SWV 11 Mi saluta costei, SWV 12 Io moro, eccho ch'io moro, SWV 13 Sospir che del bel petto, SWV 14 Dunque addio, SWV 15 Tornate, o cari baci, SWV 16 Di marmo siete voi, SWV 17 Giunto è pur, Lidia, SWV 18 Vasto mar, SWV 19

Conductor Kathryn Cavanaugh writes -The meaning of Mahler's 10th has always eluded me until recent world events unfolded in front of my eyes.As the world turns further from the gospel of Jesus Christ, Satan fills the void.  After all, Man cannot serve 2 masters.  Either we follow Good or Evil.  We cannot be on the fence and serve either.  The world just doesn't work that way.I find the world no longer forgives.  There is little love in the world today.  Hate and intolerance are everywhere, especially by those who preach tolerance and love.  I find their souls to be dry, insensitive, and full of hate towards all things good.Man kills unborn children and says it is for good.  Man operates on young children, mutilates them, and calls it for their own good.  Man kills man and calls it for the good of society.The world has gone completely mad and needs to return to the one and only Son of God to find the light again.Thus now I feel I understand the 10th!Tracks Adagio Scherzo Purgatorio Scherzo Finale

Austrian composer Thomas Larcher's new album features premiere recordings of three strongly contrasting works.The Living Mountain, composed 2019-20, draws inspiration from Scottish poet and nature writer Nan Shepherd's book of the same name. Having grown up in Tyrol and familiar with mountain landscapes, Larcher was taken by Shepherd's unique approach to the topic in her memoir, and “how completely different it is from all the other literature touching upon this subject. There's a particularly palpable connection between her introspection and the nature that surrounds her, the microscopic details that are elaborated in that context. Being able to identify with her writing as much as I did, reading the book turned into my own introspective journey and immediately sparked the musical connotations that I elaborate in my piece”.Track Listing:1 The Living Mountain - Introduction2 At first, mad to recover the tang of height3 As I reach the highest part of my dark moor4 In September dawns I hardly breathe5 Once, on a night of such clear silence6 Further up, is all snow7 Allegretto8 Allegro infuriato9 Adagio ma non troppo10 Plinius sagt11 Die roten Flecken12 Wenn die Blitze herabfuhren13 Gleich einem Hund14 Am 8.Mai 192715 Mitten im Schlaf16 Venezianisches Wachspraeparat17 Es heisst dass Napoleon18 Aus dem Vorderschiff des Gehirns19 Blaues Gras20 Zuletzt werden bloss soviel ueberbleiben21 So glitt ich lautlos22 Unerzaehlt - So wird, wenn der Sehnerv zerreisstHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

After the huge success of his previous Deutsche Grammophon album, devoted to works by Mozart, oboist Albrecht Mayer turns his attention to the uniquely talented Bach family. For Bach Generations, he has chosen a selection of music by four members of the family: Johann Sebastian himself (1685-1750), Johann Christoph (1642-1703), Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-1788) and Johann Christoph Friedrich (1732-1795). There is also a transcription of a work by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, previously attributed to J.S. Bach. Recorded with the Berliner Barock Solisten and Gottfried von der Goltz (solo violin/concertmaster), Bach Generations is set for release on CD and digitally on 4 August 2023. Track Listing:1 Bach, J S: Keyboard Concerto No. 4 in A major, BWV1055 / I.

Cappella Romana has prioritized Arvo Pärt's music for over thirty years. It gave the first US performance of Pärt's Passio by a US ensemble in 1993 directed by Paul Hillier, with national broadcast on NPR. Cappella Romana has continued to perform Pärt's music to the present day, including the program on this recording in British Columbia in 2009 and at Cappella Romana's week-long, sold-out Arvo Pärt Festival in 2017.TracksFrom Triodion“Ode 1”: Introduction; O Jesus the Son of God, Have Mercy upon Us (Apolytikion for the Holy Icons), Kerry McCarthy, soloist (5:28)From Zwei slawische Psalmen (Two Slavonic Psalms) No. 2 Kindliche Ergebung (Childlike surrender) Psalm 130 LXX (131) Small Dozology from No. 1 Psalm 116 LXX (117) (3:52) From Kanon Pokajanen (The Kanon of Repentance) Sedálen (Káthisma) and Bogoródichen (Theotokíon) (4:23) Kanon Ode 6 (8:49) Kontakion (3:24) Oikos (3:25) The Woman with the Alabaster Box, a Reading from the Gospel of St. Matthew (26:6-13) (6:41) From Kanon Pokajanen Kanon Ode 8 (8:58) Kanon Ode 9 (7:21) From Triodion“Ode 2”: O Mose Holy Birthgiver of God, save Us (Apolytikion for the Mother of God) (5:02)From Kanon PokajanenPrayer after the Kanon (11:20)From Triodion“Ode 3”: O Holy Saint Nicholas, Pray unto God for Us; Coda (Apolytikion for Saint Nicholas), Kerry McCarthy, soloist Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcast with the permission of Sean Dacy from Rosebrook Media.

HR Recordings releases The Weary Blues, an exciting new recording of songs resulting from a long and wonderful collaboration between American composer Drew Hemenger and soprano Adrienne Danrich. This first collaborative recording features a set of songs written for Adrienne based on Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes, along with a gripping and sometimes harrowing song cycle, “Which Way Home?” on poems of Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet, Anne Sexton.

Henry Purcell's “fantasias” are regarded as some of the finest and most intricately wrought examples of the fantasia, due to their profound embrace of counterpoint and great command of the polyphonic techniques of the time. Composed in the summer of 1680 – a time when the fantasia was already considered old-fashioned and had been replaced by the sonata –, Purcell's “fantazias” turned out to be the very last ensemble fantasias to be published in England. As John Holloway notes in his detailed liner text contextualizing the three- and four-part works, “it is tempting in retrospect to see their brilliant distillation of the very best of Byrd, Lawes, Jenkins and Locke as a personal farewell to a kind of music, which in Purcell's own chamber music would soon be superseded by sonatas”.Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

The elemental power of ancient folk music was the life force that drove the compositions of Veljo Tormis (1930-2017). As the great Estonian composer famously said, “I do not use folk song. It is folk song that uses me.” This sentiment is echoed in definitive performances by the Estonian Philharmonic Choir and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Tõnu Kaljuste, for decades one of Tormis's closest musical associates. Four orchestral cycles celebrate the changing seasons: Autumn Landscapes, Winter Patterns, Spring Sketches, Summer Motifs. And three pieces – Worry Breaks The Spirit, Hamlet's Songs and Herding Calls - feature new arrangements by Tõnu Kaljuste, continuing and commemorating Tormis's work.Track Listing:1 The Tower Bell in My Village2 Worry Breaks the Spirit3 Melancholy Songs - I.

Los Angeles, the city in which Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) spent the last few months of his life, played host to an exceptional festival of music last February. As part of this year's Rachmaninoff 150 celebrations, Yuja Wang joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its Music and Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel over two consecutive weekends to perform all four of the composer's piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Deutsche Grammophon were there to capture their sold-out and critically acclaimed performances live at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Rachmaninoff: The Piano Concertos and Paganini Rhapsody is now set for release on 2 CDs, 3 LPs, and digitally on 1 September 2023. The Allegro vivace finale of Piano Concerto No. 1 comes out as an e-single and e-video on 23 June; the filmed cycle of five performances will be premiered on STAGE+ on 24 June and will also be available on the LA Phil's online concert series SOUND/STAGE later in September. Track Listing:1 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor op. 18 – 1.

Tan Dun's Buddha Passion is a captivating tale of wonder, truth, and gentle but irresistible transformation. The monumental work involving massed choirs, a large orchestra, six percussionists, and an array of soloists including indigenous singers, traditional Chinese instruments, and a dancing pipa player, is the first such ‘Passion' on a Buddhist rather than Christian narrative.Track Listing:1 Chant2 Little Prince3 Mantra4 Under the Bodhi Tree5 Equality6 Deer of Nine Colors7 Gratitude8 Betrayal9 Trees Wish to Be Still, yet the Wind Doesn't Let Go10 Karma11 Apsaras12 Father and Three Daughters13 My Dear Father14 Sacrifice15 Mantra of Nine16 A Body is a Bodhi Tree17 Is it the Wind or a Banner Moving, or is it My Soul18 Zen Dream19 A Solar Eclipse20 Silk Road An Invisible Road21 Home Lies so Far Away22 Love is Destined to Part23 Heart Sutra24 In No Time, I Shall Enter Nirvana25 All Creatures in the Universe26 The Other Side27 Buddha Was Man, Man Will Be Buddha28 One Last Question29 NirvanaHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).Please note: the broadcasting of this episode does not mean that CMD approves of Idol worship.Only with obedience to Jesus Christ can you enter into salvation.

A Prayer to the Dynamo was written in response to a commission from the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. It received its first, and so far only performance at the orchestra's New Music Festival on 3 February 2012. As noted by the festival's curator, composer Matthew Patton, it represented a turning-point in Jóhannsson's career, having been written without any of the narrative constraints involved in composing for film. “He never wrote a piece for orchestra this big, this long, and with this much freedom.” This recording will turn a much-deserved spotlight on to a work Patton has described as a “lost symphony” and introduce it to audiences worldwide. Track Listing:1 Suite from The Theory of Everything I_ A Model of the Universe2 II_ Domestic Pressures3 III_ The Origins of Time4 IV_ Forces of Attraction5 V_ Cambridge, 19636 A Prayer to the Dynamo Part 17 A Prayer to the Dynamo Part 28 A Prayer to the Dynamo Part 39 A Prayer to the Dynamo Part 410 Suite from Sicario I_ Target11 II_ Desert Music12 III_ MelancholiaHelp support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).
