The Missa solemnis in D major, Op. 123, is a Solemn Mass composed by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1819 to 1823. It was first performed on 7 April 1824 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, under the auspices of Beethoven's patron Prince Nikolai Galitzin; an incomplete performance was given in Vienna on 7 May 1824, when the Kyrie, Credo, and Agnus Dei were conducted by the composer.  It is generally considered one of the composer's supreme achievements and, along with Bach's Mass in B minor, one of the most significant Mass settings of the common practice period. Written around the same time as his Ninth Symphony, it is Beethoven's second setting of the Mass, after his Mass in C major, Op. 86. The work was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf of Austria, archbishop of Olmütz, Beethoven's foremost patron as well as pupil and friend. The copy presented to Rudolf was inscribed "Von Herzen—Möge es wieder—Zu Herzen gehn!" ("From the heart – may it return to the heart!")

SOMM RECORDINGS announces the first volume of Prokofiev Milestones, featuring three characterful sonatas and a sparkling arrangement of music from Romeo and Juliet performed by violinist Lana Trotovšek and flutist Boris Bizjak accompanied by Maria Canyigueral on piano.Prokofiev Milestones revealingly turns the focus away from the prolific composer's famed orchestral works and celebrated ballets to his rich and varied chamber music.First performed in 1943, the Sonata for Flute and Piano (Op.94) is, as Robert Matthew-Walker comments in his notes, “music not of war, but of peace”; a pastoral escape laced with wit and mischief vouchsafed within a pristine neo-classical frame.It is heard again, transformed, in Prokofiev's transcription for Violin and Piano (Op.94a). Composed soon after, it lays claim to being “one of the finest 20th-century works in the genre and a genuine masterpiece”.The Sonata for Two Violins (Op.56) is heard in a new arrangement by Boris Bizjak that eloquently makes much of its sentimentality, drama, and vitality.A characterful suite drawn from Romeo and Juliet, and arranged for violin and piano by Lidia Baich and Matthias Fletzberger, revels in Shakespeare's great romance and Prokofiev's ardent response to it.TracksSonata for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 94 (24:15) I.

The effect of the ever-changing seasons has been a perpetual inspiration for composers since Ancient Greece's Delphic hymns and before, down to the present day, arguably finding its richest expression, as Robert Matthew-Walker's erudite booklet notes argue, in the generations who alternatively espoused Romanticism and Impressionism.Tracks Christian Sinding: Rustle of Spring, Op. 32 No. 3 (2:56) Franz Liszt: Au lac de Wallenstadt (Années de pèlerinage) (3:31) Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Song of the Lark (The Seasons, Op. 37a) (2:23) Béla Bartók: From the Diary of a Fly (Mikrokosmos) (1:29) Claude Debussy: Jardins sous la Pluie (Estampes) (3:46) Liszt: Au bord d'une source (Années de pèlerinage) (4:06) Liszt: Orage (Années de pèlerinage) (4:31) Bartók: The Night's Music (Out of Doors) (5:18) Debussy: Clair de Lune (Suite Bergamasque) (5:06) Camille Saint-Saëns: The Swan, arr.

The Consecration of the House (German: Die Weihe des Hauses), Op. 124, is a work by Ludwig van Beethoven composed in September 1822. It was commissioned by Carl Friedrich Hensler, the Director of Vienna's new Theater in der Josefstadt, and was first performed at the theatre's opening on October 3, 1822. It was the first work Beethoven wrote after his revival of studying the works of J. S. Bach and Handel and bears their influence.The Consecration of the House overture was also the first item on the program at Beethoven's 7 May 1824 concert at Vienna's Theater am Kärntnertor, where the world premiere of his 9th Symphony took place.Previously, in 1811, Beethoven had written The Ruins of Athens (Die Ruinen von Athen), Op. 113, incidental music for August von Kotzebue's play of the same name, for the dedication of a new theatre in Pest. This same work was to be performed again in 1822 for the new theatre in Vienna. However, Carl Meisl, the commissioner of the Royal Imperial Navy, changed the texts of numbers 1, 6, 7, and 8 of Beethoven's work. Beethoven was not pleased with the revision, and felt that the new text did not fit the music. Meisl also introduced a section, Wo sich die Pulse, for which Beethoven wrote new music. Beethoven wrote a completely new overture for the work, altered some of the musical numbers, and added others, including a final chorus with a violin solo and ballet. This new overture is known as The Consecration of the House Overture. (The extra incidental pieces constitute the entire work.)Conducted by Gertrude HeinzPerformed by the CMD German Opera Company of BerlinPurchase this recording at:Beethoven: The Consecration of the House, Op. 124 - Ruins of Athens, Op. 113 (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store)

These five works – four sonatas and a sonatina – chronicle a century of American writing for the viola and are linked by a concern for the directness of musical language. But they also reflect diversity in their origins and inspirations, the Ulysses Kay pieces being written by a pioneering African American, Libby Larsen's by a successful female freelance composer, Eric Ewazen's animated by a particularly American lyricism and energy, and the sonata by David Tcimpidis commemorating the ‘9/11' terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, which Tcimpidis heard unfolding.TracksUlysses Kay Sonatine for Viola and Piano (1939)* (4:54)Viola Sonata (1942)* (10:29) I.

A captivating anthology of British clarinet compositions curated and performed by versatile musician Ronald Woodley and pianist Andrew West. This collection explores British musical modernism, featuring both new and underappreciated pieces from the twentieth century by composers Elisabeth Lutyens, Angela Elizabeth Slater, Morris Pert, Christopher Fox, and Edward Cowie. Woodley's deep-rooted fascination for the basset horn, inspired by Lutyens, drove him to rediscover the world of British musical modernism, revealing its complexities and dynamics.Notable compositions in the anthology include Elisabeth Lutyens' “This Green Tide” for the basset horn, Angela Elizabeth Slater's “Around the Darkening Sun” for bass clarinet and piano, Morris Pert's “Luminos” for basset horn and piano, Christopher Fox's “This has happened before” featuring multitracked bass clarinets, and Edward Cowie's “Heather Jean Nocturnes” inspired by visual art. This collection is a valuable addition for clarinet enthusiasts and music lovers, shedding light on the lesser-known gems of British music and showcasing the power of artistic collaboration across mediums, offering a glimpse into the evolution of British music.TracksElisabeth LutyensThis Green Tide, Op. 103 (10:15)Angela Elizabeth SlaterAround the Darkening Sun* (5:25)Morris PertLuminos, Op. 16a (16:22)Christopher FoxThis has happened before (10:54)Elisabeth LutyensFive Little Pieces, Op. 14 No. 1* I.

Conductor Shea Lolin and composer/producer Christopher Hussey have returned to Prague to record with the Czech Philharmonic Wind Ensemble, carefully curating an album of premiere recordings spotlighting the woodwind orchestra, capturing its kaleidoscopic colors and symphonic potential to deepen and broaden appreciation of the medium's power.A large chamber ensemble of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and saxophones in various sizes, the woodwind orchestra has a highly adaptable and magical tonal palette—it can be, in turn, boldly vibrant and delicately beautiful, thrillingly powerful and hauntingly tender, earnestly solemn and joyously comical.The recorded repertoire reflects a spectrum of musical styles that exist in 21st-century concert music, ranging from the familiar and instantly singable to the more avant-garde, but always possessing an accessible and inviting musical narrative. Chromosphere is a landmark album, comprising exciting new and re-imagined pieces by leading composers in the genre and demonstrating the unique soundworld of the woodwind orchestra.Shea Lolin is a dynamic and versatile freelance musician living in London. His principal studies were in clarinet performance, composition, and conducting at the Colchester Institute, and he has since developed an inimitable portfolio career as a conductor, performer, and teacher.TracksKeiron AndersonAlice in Wonderland* (11:30)Judith BinghamMozart's Pets* I.

This ground-breaking album is the first of its kind – devoted entirely to new music written for the woodwind orchestra. It features outstanding performances by the principal woodwind players of the Czech Philharmonic, conducted by Shea Lolin, and includes four world premiere recordings.The recording was made to both promote British composers and to give focus to the woodwind orchestra. This program showcases the woodwind orchestra in all its voices: Overture for Woodwinds is bright and lyrical, while Pantomime is joyously comical with moments of heartrending nostalgia. A notable shift in the language comes with Dreamtide, which is a beautiful expression of the subconscious, with delicate and tender lines. Battle Symphony is a pictorial suite containing elements of pastiche in ten highly original sections. The album concludes with Twisted Skyscape, a vibrant and excitingly powerful piece.Conductor Shea Lolin is a dynamic and versatile freelance musician living in London. His principal studies were in clarinet performance, composition, and conducting at the Colchester Institute, and he has since developed an inimitable portfolio career as a conductor, performer, and teacher.A second album of world premieres for woodwind orchestra, Chromosphere, will be released by Divine Art in early 2024.TracksPhilip Sparke Overture for Woodwinds (6:10)Gary CarpenterPantomime* I.

A memorable collection, a composer whose primacy spans the ages, a great performer. We find ourselves in front of Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) six Suites for solo cello, performed by Antonio Meneses. In J. S. BACH: THE CELLO SUITES he turns to this precious legacy, which he masters like few others. Around the world, he presents it to audiences. In the past, he has recorded it. Now, a new perspective on these eternally meaningful works leads him to rediscover them. Tracks1. Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: I. Prélude – (2:30)         2.

Composer and Latin Grammy-nominated conductor Dimitri Cervo presents in this album his complete piano works, in a comprehensive selection of pieces that span nearly four decades of creative output.   Interpreted by Lucas Thomazinho, one of the most prominent figures in the contemporary piano scene, the album showcases the ongoing artistic evolution and rich diversity of musical influences that permeate Cervo's body of work.   The album features three distinct phases in Cervo's compositional journey: The first phase, spanning from 1985 to 1997, is notably marked by the influence of classical piano repertoire, with special reverence for the works of Scriabin and Chopin, whose works were intensely studied by Cervo during his academic piano training. Standouts from this phase include Estudo (1985), with its intricate rhythmic changes, and Prelúdio Titanic (1985), an evocative piece that portrays the history of the famous ship. The second creative phase (1998-2010) is characterized by the innovative fusion of distinctive elements of Brazilian music with minimalism. Finally, the third and current phase, which began in 2011 and continues to the present day, is marked by the amalgamation of various influences and the consolidation of the composer's artistic maturity and innovative vision in the contemporary musical landscape.

Founded in 2016, the Brazilian group Brazú Quintê is dedicated to performing chamber music, enriched by nuances and inflections of Brazilian music. They present their second album, DIVINARE, with original works that stand out for the diversity of their distinct musical atmospheres.   With a unique lineup that includes Fábio Leal (electric guitar), Mariana Rodrigues (piano), Ariane Rodrigues (flute), Thiago Faria (cello), and Letícia Andrade (violin), the group was conceived with the aim of integrating the electric guitar into the world of chamber music, blending tradition and modernity.   Among the highlights, Aromas do Sul (Fábio Leal) constructs a harmonious dialogue of rhythms such as chamamé, guarânia, and Argentine tango, with precision and refinement. Divinare (Fábio Leal) is inspired by the poem "Os Sabiás Divinam" by Manoel de Barros, while Caxinguelê, with lyrics by Paulo César Pinheiro, pays homage to Villa-Lobos, capturing the essence of the Amazon and its mythologies. DIVINARE is a sophisticated and urgent sonic kaleidoscope; an open portrait of the creativity and versatility of its performers, who together, write a new chapter in contemporary Brazilian instrumental music.

Time: 18th centuryPlace: The workshop of the clockmaker Torquemada in Toledo, Spain.The opera takes place in 21 scenes, with an introduction.Torquemada is at work in his shop when the muleteer Ramiro stops by to have his watch fixed so that he can fulfill his duties of collecting the town's post. It is Thursday, the day that Torquemada goes out to tend the municipal clocks, so Ramiro must wait. Torquemada's wife, Concepción, enters to complain that her husband hasn't yet moved a clock into her bedroom. After Torquemada has left, she takes advantage of his absence to plan assignations with gentleman friends. However, the presence of Ramiro is initially a hindrance. So she asks him to move a grandfather clock to her bedroom, which he agrees to do.Meanwhile, she waits for Gonzalve, a poet. He arrives, and is inspired to poetry, but not to lovemaking, where Concepción would prefer the latter. When Ramiro is about to return, she sends him back saying that she chose the wrong clock. She then has the idea of having Gonzalve hide in one clock so that Ramiro can carry him upstairs. After Gonzalve is concealed, Don Iñigo, a banker and another of Concepción's gentleman friends, arrives. When Ramiro returns, she persuades him to carry up the clock with Gonzalve concealed in it, and she accompanies him.On his own, Don Iñigo conceals himself in another clock. Ramiro enters, asked to watch the shop, and musing on how little he understands of women. Concepción then summons him back upstairs, saying that the clock's hands are running backwards. She and Don Iñigo try to communicate, but Ramiro arrives back with the other clock. Don Iñigo has hidden himself again, and Ramiro now carries up the clock with Don Iñigo upstairs.With Gonzalve now downstairs, Concepción tries to turn him away from poetry towards her, but Gonzalve is too absorbed to follow her lead. Ramiro returns, and Gonzalve must conceal himself again. He offers to take the second clock up again. Impressed by how easily Ramiro carries the clocks (and their load) upstairs, Concepción begins to be physically attracted to him.With Gonzalve and Don Iñigo now each stuck in clocks, Torquemada returns from his municipal duties. Both Gonzalve and Don Inigo eventually escape their respective clock enclosures, the latter with more difficulty. To save face, they each have to purchase a clock. Concepción is now left without a clock, but she muses that she can wait for the muleteer to appear regularly with his watch repaired. The opera ends with a quintet finale, as the singers step out of character to intone the moral of the tale, paraphrasing Boccaccio: "Among all lovers, only the efficient succeed,The moment arrives, in the pursuit of love,When the muleteer has his turn!"

The choral music of Richard Lambert, born in Bath in the English West Country in 1951, covers a wide range of expression, ranging on this album from straightforward SATB settings for church performance to a sardonic parody of the excesses of established religion. It also encompasses the timeless and the timely, with a number of contributions to the age-old tradition of Christmas music to a cantata inspired by the Covid pandemic.This is the first recording of the Accordare Choir, founded and conducted by Karolina Csáthy, initially using former choral scholars of The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge; since then it has expanded in size, scope and accomplishment.Tracks The Jackdaw of Rheims (1995/2018) (12:46) Prayer and Supplication (1979, rev. 2020) (9:20) Lord, Make us Instruments of Thy Peace (1993) (3:14) A Christmas Sequence All was for an Apple (2020) (2:15) Herrick's Carol (1995) (4:18) Hodie Christus natus est (2012) (2:44) O Magnum Mysterium (2012) (2:54) Away in a Manger (2009) (2:26) The Holly and the Ivy (2012) (3:30) There was Sweet Music (2019) (5:34) The Wind among the Reeds (2016-17) (10:03) …a plague o' your houses (2021) (15:12)

As part of a 10-concert European tour in June 2023, Anne-Sophie Mutter and her Virtuosi ensemble, comprising some of today's finest young string players, gave an acclaimed concert at the Vienna Musikverein. This took place just days before the violinist's 60th birthday and it speaks volumes that she chose to share a stage with her young colleagues rather than marking the occasion with a gala solo performance. Based on that live concert, Mutter's latest Deutsche Grammophon album shows the variety and versatility for which she has become renowned, its repertoire ranging from Vivaldi and Bach to Previn and John Williams, via Joseph Bologne. It is set for release on 10 November, with three taster tracks to be issued digitally, complete with videos: Williams's Theme from Schindler's List on 6 October; the Allegro finale from Vivaldi's Concerto for 3 Violins on 27 October; and the central Largo from Bologne's Violin Concerto in A major on the same day as the album. The Vienna concert was filmed as a Unitel production, in co-production with Deutsche Grammophon & ZDF, and in cooperation with Arte Concert & Wiener Musikverein. Viewers around the world can enjoy it now on STAGE+, with the exception of those in France and Germany, who will be able to access it on the platform from 29 December onwards. Track Listing:1 Vivaldi: Concerto for 3 violins in F major, RV 5512 Bach, J S: Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, BWV10413 Previn: Nonet for two string quartets and double bass4 Saint-Georges: Violin Concerto in A major, Op. 5, No. 25 Bach, J S: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major, BWV10486 Williams, John: Nice to Be Around (from Cinderella Liberty)7 Vivaldi: The Four Seasons: Summer, RV315 - Presto8 Williams, John: Schindler's List: ThemeClassical 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 Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

“This is how I want to make music!” That was Avi Avital's reaction when he first saw Il Giardino Armonico and Giovanni Antonini play live in Jerusalem. Now famed worldwide for his own charismatic and passionate performances, the mandolinist is delighted to be joined by this exciting period-instrument ensemble and its conductor and co-founder on his latest album, entitled simply Concertos. Together they perform three original concertos for mandolin – by Barbella, Paisiello and Hummel – and Avital's own adaptations of concertos by J.S. Bach and Vivaldi. Antonini is the recorder soloist in the Bach, while elaborate recording techniques allow Avital to play all four parts in the Vivaldi. Concertos is set for release by Deutsche Grammophon on 17 November. The Vivaldi concerto and the Andantino of the Barbella are available to stream or download now, while excerpts from the Paisiello and Hummel works will be released on 29 September and 27 October respectively.Track Listing:1 VIVALDI: Concerto for 4 Mandolins, Strings and Basso continuo in B minor /Allegro2 Largo – Larghetto – Adagio – Largo3 Allegro 4 BACH: Concerto for Mandolin, Recorder, Strings and Basso continuo in D minor/ Allegro5 Adagio6 Allegro 7 BARBELLA:Concerto for Mandolin, Strings and Basso continuo in D major 1.

Directed, written, produced by, and starring Bradley Cooper in the title role, opposite Carey Mulligan, Maestro is a towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein. A love letter to life and art, Maestro at its core is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love. Deutsche Grammophon is delighted to be releasing the original soundtrack album for the movie, which has already garnered widespread critical acclaim. All the music in the film was chosen by Cooper, and the new recordings on the soundtrack were made by the London Symphony Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who also worked closely with the actor-director as conducting consultant before and throughout the film-making process.The tracklist was not included in this submission to us.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 Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

Four soloists, three choirs, and members of six top orchestras, representing the two German States and the four Occupying Power States of post-war Berlin, participated: musicians from orchestras of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, from Dresden, Leningrad (St Petersburg), London, New York, and Paris. Three choirs supported Bernstein at his great Berlin Ode To Freedom concert: the Bavarian Radio Chorus; members of the Radio Chorus of what had been East Berlin; and the Children's Choir of the Dresden Philharmonie. The solo quartet featured June Anderson, soprano; Sarah Walker, mezzo-soprano; Klaus König, tenor; and Jan-Hendrik Rootering, bass. When the musicians gathered in Berlin for the concert residents were chiseling away at the hated Berlin Wall. Leonard Bernstein also carved a chunk of the wall and sent it to his family in New York.Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com

The pianist Karin Fernandes makes an invaluable contribution to Brazilian classical music: PERFUME, a project divided into two volumes, is the first complete recording of the waltzes by the composer and conductor from Rio de Janeiro, Chiquinha Gonzaga.  Awarded in 21 national competitions, including the "X Prêmio Eldorado de Música", Fernandes has stood out for her performance as a soloist, regularly performing with orchestras such as OSESP, Amazonas Philharmonic, and Ensemble Cairn in France.  In this second volume, the pianist presents 20 of the 41 waltzes written by Chiquinha, including the unreleased ones Perfume “Feno de Atkinsons”, Desalento, O Padre Amaro, Robertinha, Viver é Folgar (From "A Filha do Guedes"), Maria, Harmonia das Esferas and Aguará “Garça Vermelha”. The album, in addition to the unquestionable importance of its recording, is also a tribute that keeps Chiquinha Gonzaga's legacy alive, resonating as a powerful echo of her genius. Tracks1.

Tractus emphasizes Arvo Pärt's compositions that blend the timbres of string orchestra and choir. New versions predominate, with focused performances from the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under Tõnu Kaljuste's direction that invite alert and concentrated listening. From the opening composition Littlemore Tractus, which takes as its starting point consoling reflections from a sermon by John Henry Newman, the idea of change, transfiguration, and renewal resonates, setting a tone for a recording whose character is one of summing up, looking inward, and reconciling with the past.Tracks1 Littlemore Tractus 2 Greater Antiphons - O Wisdom 3 Greater Antiphons - O Adonai 4 Greater Antiphons - O Root of Jesse 5 Greater Antiphons - O Key of David 6 Greater Antiphons - O Morning Star 7 Greater Antiphons - O King of all People 8 Greater Antiphons - O Emmanuel 9 Cantique des degres 10 Sequentia 11 L'abbe Agathon 12 These Words 13 Veni creator 14 Vater unser 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 Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

Deutsche Grammophon's live album of his competition recordings was released to rave reviews the following month, and the Canadian-Chinese pianist became an exclusive DG artist in March 2022. He released a series of Rameau and Chopin singles in 2022, and an acclaimed interpretation of J.S. Bach's French Suite No. 5 in April this year (“[a] carefully conceived and superbly played reading” ClassicalMusic.com).

Deutsche Grammophon is delighted to share a new, meditative recording of Arvo Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel from Icelandic composer, conductor and producer Viktor Orri Árnason. The audio version of this extended single, on which Árnason plays both viola and piano, comes out on 8 September 2023. A music video, which the artist describes as a “moving painting”, will follow on 11 September, Pärt's 88th birthday. The track will also act as a prelude to the artist's debut DG album, a project he has developed in collaboration with soprano Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir and which is set for release later this year.  An early example of Pärt's tintinnabular style, the mesmeric masterpiece that is Spiegel im Spiegel was originally written for violin and piano but now exists in multiple versions. Árnason more than captures its sense of stillness and serenity in his intimate interpretation, slowing the tempo to amplify its reflective qualities. He plays the mirrored ascending and descending phrases of the melodic line on the viola. Beneath this, bell-like piano notes sound in the accompaniment, like raindrops softly falling into a pool of water. Árnason made and mixed the recording at his home studio in Iceland, and the track was mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin.1 Rodd 2 Na´ttmyrkrið 3 Vera 4 Orð og draumar 5 Blikna 6 Til kvæðagyðjunnar 7 Ljo´ssins kno¨rr 8 Li´kaminn er þaninn fiðlustrengur 9 Jo¨rðin bi´ður 10 Handan við haf 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 Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

The exploration of the music of the Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896–1967) on Toccata Classics now turns to his chamber output, with this first recording of his String Quartets Nos. 1 and 4. Flury was himself a gifted violinist, and these works – written for personal pleasure and for musician friends – were composed with an intimate familiarity with the medium. In the fourteen years between these two quartets, Flury's musical language consolidated, from the early foray into mild modernism heard in No. 1 into the rich, late-Romantic aesthetic of No. 4.TracklistString Quartet No. 1 in D Minor (1926) (21:40) I.

We Wish You The Merriest is sure to delight fans of both artists, as they showcase their musical prowess on timeless classics like "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."Says MacFarlane of their latest collaboration: “I've had the privilege of working with a lot of world-class jazz vocalists throughout my career, and Liz Gillies is among the very best of the best. We had a blast recording what we can promise is the most fun holiday album you'll hear this season.”Adds Gillies, “After collaborating for nearly a decade, I was beyond thrilled when Seth came to me with the idea of recording a holiday record. Our first official record. There is no one I know who possesses a deeper knowledge and appreciation for this era of music than Seth.”We Wish You The Merriest follows in the tradition of the Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney duet collections that both MacFarlane and Gillies have long admired. The album also serves as a delightful return to holiday music for MacFarlane, who previously showcased his baritone voice in his acclaimed 2014 album, Holiday for Swing, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Charts and New Release Jazz pages.Track List:1.

The opera was composed for the 1724 carnival season in Rome and premiered at the Teatro Capranica.The aria of Anastasio, Vedrò con mio diletto, has become a famous piece sung at concerts and on recordings by countertenors such as Philippe Jaroussky and Jakub Józef Orliński and by contraltos as Sonia Prina. Sinfonia of Act I, Scene V, is also used by Vivaldi as the main motif of the first movement of La Primavera ("Spring") from his concerti The Four Seasons.The opera was revived in modern times in 1985 in a production directed by Alan Curtis and performed at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, at the Opéra Royal of the Palace of Versailles, and at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. According to data reported by Le magazine de l'opéra baroque, a subsequent performance in concert form was held at the Mégaron Musikis in Athens in 2007, while a further revival on stage, for a total of twelve performances, took place, between 2008 and 2009, at the Oldenburgisches Staatstheater.In July 2018, a concert performance was given at the Festival International d'Opéra Baroque de Beaune — with the Accademia Bizantina conducted by Ottavio Dantone. In August 2018, a full costume version of Il Giustino, directed by Deda Cristina Colonna and conducted by Peter Spissky and the Camerata Øresund, figured as one of the central pieces in the Næstved Early Music Festival.

This final installment of the organ compositions of Axel Ruoff (born in Stuttgart in 1957) presents two starkly contrasted sides of his musical personality: three of them, for voice and organ, are concerned with the spiritual – two even addressing head-on the issue of death itself – and are thus solemn and hieratic, whereas the concluding work is a whimsical, tongue-in-cheek set of variations on ‘Happy Birthday', written as a present for Ruoff's publisher on his 80th birthday.Tracks Memento creatoris tui for baritone and organ (2001) (12:43)Messe basse for soprano and organ (2015) (21:15) I.

Known in his lifetime as ‘the north German Schubert', Carl Loewe (1796–1869) is remembered today chiefly as a composer of songs and ballads. Yet there is a considerable body of piano music that is strikingly innovative in content, expression and harmony, containing the germs of ideas later taken up by composers such as Wagner and Liszt. Loewe was unquestionably a brilliantly original talent, a major figure in ushering in the Romantic era – with the remarkable Four Fantasies of 1854 heard here ‘documenting' in music the contemporary emigration of German families to the United States. This third volume of Linda Nicholson's survey of his piano music on historical instruments concludes its first-ever complete recording on any kind of piano.TracksVier Phantasien, Op. 137 (1854) (36:55) I.

PROLOGUETime, in his palace, promises fame to the glorious hero (Louis XIV). Flora joins the celebrations. Melpomene, the tragic muse, is united with Flora in order for the drama of Attis (Atys) to unfold.ACT IIn the land of Phrygia, Attis awaits the arrival of the earth goddess Cybele (Cybèle). Sangaride, due to be married to King Celaenus (Célenus), sings of her unrequited love for Attis. Seeing her distress, Attis confesses that he too loves her. Cybele descends in her chariot.ACT IIAttis and Celaenus cannot decide which of them will be the high priest for Cybele. Cybele also loves Attis and selects him to be high priest, confessing that it was for him and not Celaenus's marriage that she descended to earth.ACT IllAt the instigation of Cybele, Attis falls into a dreamfilled sleep in which he hears songs of love, but also warnings of danger should he deceive the gods. He wakes to find Cybele at his side, ready to comfort him. Sangaride begs Attis to prevent her marriag to Celaenus, and he promises to support her. Cybele, suspecting their love, laments her fate.ACT IVSangaride thinks that Attis no longer loves her, but he reassures her and they celebrate their love. As the high priest of Cybele, Attis calls off the wedding of Sangaride and Celaenus.ACT VCybele and Celaenus plot revenge against the lovers. The goddess places Attis under a spell and, in his delusion, he murders Sangaride, thinking her to be a monster. After regaining his reason, Attis tries to take his own life, and Cybele turns him into a pine tree. She laments the loss of her one true love, and the opera ends in desolation.

Fifteen years after paying tribute to the great composer as part of her PORTRAIT series dedicated to current composers, Angèle Dubeau along with La Pietà focuses again on Philip Glass in the violinist's 48th recording:  SIGNATURE Philip Glass.

His work has and will continue to have an impact on musical life for a long time to come. Glass's music has always fascinated me. It captivates me and, for many years, has nourished me and made me grow intellectually and musically,” she emphasizes.Track Listing:1 Opening2 Symphony no 33 Metamorphosis4 Koyaanisquati5 Piano Quintet6 The Somnambulist7 History_Signature8 History_Utility9 Tea Time10 Candyman Suite11 Sonata for violon mvt III12 Duo no113 Duo no414 Bent Suite II15 Bent Suite V16 Epilogue @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).

Lisa BatiashviliYannick Nezet-SeguinThe Philadelphia OrchestraSecret Love Letters“What would human life be like,” asks Lisa Batiashvili, “without this range of emotions and feelings which we feel cannot be shared with anyone?” Her new album celebrates the fine art of concealment, of holding private passions just beneath the surface until they erupt. In this, her first recording with a US orchestra, she is joined by The Philadelphia Orchestra and its inspirational Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin – with whom she has performed live many times – as well as by young Georgian pianist Giorgi Gigashvili. Together they embark on a journey that spans Szymanowski, Chausson, Franck, and Debussy. Tracklist:Franck: Violin Sonata in A Major, M. 8Szymanowski: Violin Concerto No. 1, Op. 35Chausson: Poeme, Op. 25Debussy: Beau soir, L. 6Help 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).

One of the UK's most popular vocalists and broadcasters, Aled Jones MBE, today announces the release of his brand-new album which not only celebrates 40 years in show business but reveals some previously unreleased tracks, recently unearthed by Aled himself. Whilst visiting his family home in Anglesey earlier this year, Aled began reminiscing over the 40 years of memorabilia his parents have collected throughout his career. They literally had everything, even a collection of multi-coloured shirts and bow ties. Aled's mother explained they had been handmade for him by a BBC employee for a series he made in 1983, at the age of 13. This prompted Aled to go and find the original programme. He began to go through the footage and discovered recordings, which have never been released or even heard since the original broadcast 40 years ago. The album includes brand new arrangements of those classics including Ave Maria and Bright Eyes.Aptly titled, ‘One Voice – Full Circle', the new record is the fourth (and probably final, says Aled!) instalment in his utterly unique ‘One Voice' series in which, through the magic of technology, Aled is able to duet with his younger self: man and boy, baritone and treble. Here, album highlights include ‘Sailing', The Sutherland Brothers' 1972 track best known as a hit for Rod Stewart, Handel's ‘Where'er you Walk', from the musical drama Semele, Welsh love song ‘Bugeilo'r Gwenith Gwyn' and traditional ballad ‘Scarborough Fair'. Aled even tracked down the original 80's guitarist, Dylan Fowler, to re-record his part for this new recording. TRACKLIST:1. Bright Eyes 2. Sea Fever 3. Scarborough Fair 4. Where ‘ere You Walk 5.

Handel completed the score only seven days before the premiere, at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket on 14 May 1723. There were eight performances in the premiere run. The work was revived on 18 April 1732, under the direction of the composer, for four performances.There were no further revivals until it was rediscovered and performed in Göttingen on 2 July 1967. The first UK performance since Handel's time was on 26 August 1969 at the Unicorn Theatre in Abingdon-on-Thames, England.  As with all Baroque opera seria, Flavio went unperformed for many years, but with the revival of interest in Baroque music and historically informed musical performance since the 1960s, Flavio, like all Handel operas, receives performances at festivals and opera houses today. Among other productions, Flavio was performed at the New York City Opera in 2007 and by English Touring Opera in 2009.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
