The recording explores one of the cultural revolutions of the time, the development of the sonata, a purely instrumental work with no agenda but the imagination of the composer and no standard formal shape except the passionate give-and-take of friends in conversation. This “new music” is virtuosic, experimental, unexpected, and deeply moving: the closest we come to wordless rhetoric. ALBANY RECORDS TROY1523 Conundrum 034061152323 From the Diamond Grid UPC CODE: CLASSICAL PRICE CODE L ERIC SHARP: The Ocean; KENNETH FROELICH: Hailstones; MARK CARLSON: Cuando yo muero; ERIC KNECHTGES: Simon; RACHEL FOGARTY: To See a World; JENNI BRANDON: Dog Tales; MARK LEHMAN: Conundrum; IGOR STRAVINSKY: Pastorale – Conundrum (DDD 61:40) Soprano Mary Elizabeth Southworth, flutist Danielle Hundley, clarinetist Marianne Breneman, and pianist Philip Amalong, formed the ensemble Conundrum in 2005. The group’s name suggests both their unusual ensemble and also their openness and need to experiment with adventurous programming. After more than a decade of delighting audiences with their discoveries of repertoire for this ensemble and an active commissioning program, they have gathered the best of this music together for this their first recording. The result is From the Diamond Grid: first recordings of seven new works written or re-scored for the ensemble, plus one old favorite of theirs, which was modified for their instrumentation.

The compositions combine Chinese cultural elements with Western art music to create a unique intersection of cultures through the use of tone colors produced by the combination of clarinet with Chinese instruments, sound effects created with the use of both Chinese and Western musical forms and harmonic language, and a blend of classical and contemporary musical idioms. All the music on this recording was written or arranged for clarinetist Jun Qian. On the music faculty at Baylor University, Jun Qian is principal clarinetist of the Waco Symphony. Previously he was principal clarinetist of the Shanghai Philharmonic and studied at the Shanghai Conservatory and Eastman. He has concertized throughout China, and has performed and taught in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Canada. 2 D E C . /1 4 Albany Music Distributors, Inc.

Fettig, conductor; Virginia Brewer, oboe; Eugene Moye, Jr., cello; Cain-Oscar Bergeron, flute; Alexander Fiterstein, clarinet; David Babich, tenor saxophone; Malcolm J. Merriweather, baritone (DDD 77:58) Composer/pianist James Adler has been hailed as a composer who “writes for both chorus and orchestra with uncommon imagination.” His extensive list of compositions is highlighted by Memento mori: An AIDS Requiem, which has been performed around the world and is available on Albany Records. As a pianist, he has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe, making his performing debut at 16 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and serves on the faculty at Saint Peter’s University. For this, his third recording on Albany Records, Adler’s music and performing virtuosity are showcased. Titled Introspections, James Adler used the definition (selfexamination, soul-searching, to look within) as a framework for his choice of works for the disc. ALBANY RECORDS TROY1531 Robert Sirota 034061153122 Parting the Veil: Works for Violin & Piano CLASSICAL PRICE CODE L UPC CODE: ROBERT SIROTA: Sonata #2: Farewell; Summermusic; Pange Lingua Sonata - Laurie Carney, violin; David Friend, piano; Hyeyung Julie Yoon, violin; Soyeon Kate Lee, piano (DDD 62:06) Over four decades, composer Robert Sirota has developed a distinctive voice, clearly discernible in all of his work — whether symphonic, choral, stage, or chamber music. His music has been performed by leading ensembles in the United States and abroad and featured at the Tanglewood, Aspen, Yellow Barn, and Cooperstown festivals. A graduate of Oberlin and Harvard, Sirota served as director of the Peabody Institute, and as president of Manhattan School of Music. This, the second recording of his music on Albany Records, features his compositions for violin and piano. The two sonatas are recent works, having been written in 2012 and 2013, while Summermusic dates from 2000. Albany Music Distributors, Inc.

Educated in New Zealand, England and the U.S., she is on the faculty of the University of Idaho and is artistic codirector of the Idaho Bach Festival. Wilson has chosen to combine Ernest Bloch’s three suites for solo cello with two new works by Daniel Bukvich. One of the connecting features between these two composers is their association with the Pacific Northwest. Bloch spent his last years in Oregon, while Bukvich has spent his career on the faculty at the University of Idaho. Bukvich studied Bloch’s manuscripts as a student and names Bloch as one of his influences. ALBANY RECORDS TROY1535 UPC CODE: Victor Herbert Orange Blossoms 034061153429 CLASSICAL PRICE CODE L VICTOR HERBERT: Orange Blossoms - The Light Opera of New York; Natalie Ballenger; Glenn Seven Allen; Sarah Callinan; Lisa Flanagan; Ben Liebert; David Kelleher-Flight; Sarah Best; Jeanmarie Lally; Evans Haile, conductor (DDD) Victor Herbert and Fred de Gresac’s wonderful 1922 score, Orange Blossoms, is the story of an hilarious culture clash between Americans and Parisians in the Roaring Twenties in the French capital and on the Riviera. Orange Blossoms, written late in Herbert’s career, reflected the public’s new interest in the jazz age and musical comedy. Director Michael Phillips liberally adapted the original three-act musical into a streamlined two-act version accentuating the most unique and innovative aspects of the script and lyrics. The Light Opera of New York was founded in 2006 as a professional company devoted to the performance of staged operettas and operetta concerts. ALBANY RECORDS TROY1536 UPC CODE: En-Cor!

ARCHEOPHONE ARCH9019 1919 778632906662 UPC CODE: Jazzin’ Around and Paintin’ the Town POPULAR PRICE CODE LL 25 Tracks including After You’ve Gone; I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles, etc. (55:35) 1919: "Jazzin' Around and Paintin' the Town" brings you 25 selections from the year Americans returned from war, the White Sox threw the World Series, and labor strife swept the nation. Having "done their bit" and denied raises during the war effort, workers across the country were ready to get their due in peacetime, but business owners resisted. In February 1919, a general strike in Seattle, noteworthy for its peaceful and orderly conduct, brought the city to a standstill. Huge strikes in the coal and steel industries followed later in the year, and they all were denounced as the work of Bolshevists—a growing sentiment that unleashed a Red Scare throughout the land. The Chicago White Sox also couldn't petition for raises, and they certainly couldn't strike back then, so several players conspired with gamblers to throw the World Series. They would become known as the Chicago Black Sox. The music that provided the soundtrack to this season of unrest is notable for its rueful character—even the numbers from the wildly successful Ziegfeld Follies of 1919. Waltzes and minor keys dominate the post-war soundscape, but the tone is thoughtful and never turns mawkish. Many of the songs—"After You've Gone," "I'll Say She Does," "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" and others—are all-time classics. Others were so popular as to require the inclusion here of multiple interpretations. In Henry Burr's hands, "Beautiful Ohio" is a haunting ballad, while Joseph Knecht's Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra makes it a brisk, muscular waltz. Campbell and Burr sing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" with mist in their eyes, while Ben Selvin's Novelty Orchestra make it a playful dance that highlights the xylophone. And "Till We Meet Again" was the biggest hit of all, a fitting coda to mark the end of World War I. Top performers include Marion Harris, Arthur Fields, Nora Bayes, Bert Williams, and Al Jolson, along with the pre-jazz sound of Joseph C. Smith's Orchestra doing "The Vamp," and Billy Murray crying in "The Alcoholic Blues" about the coming of Prohibition.

From Falla’s flamenco fantasy to Piazzolla’s intoxicating tangos, from Albéniz’ virtuoso portraits of Spain to Scarlatti and Buencamino’s Spanish and Argentine transformations, this album of dance and song seeks to evoke time and place, memory and experience—both real and imagined.

Anne-Marie McDermott, piano, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Scott Yoo, conductor (DDD 123:00) This new recording of Haydn’s two great piano concertos accompanies five of Haydn’s finest piano sonatas, in brilliant performances by the American pianist Anne-Marie McDermott. The G major Piano Concerto features cadenzas, composed specifically for this recording, by the leading American composer, Charles Wuorinen. Mr. Wuorinen writes: “I’ve long admired Anne-Marie McDermott’s unsurpassed performances of Haydn. Her understanding of his music is superb and her playing of it so apt and expressive that I could not resist her invitation to provide cadenzas for one of Haydn’s concerti. It was a joy to write them, and reproducing my own thoughts in the language of this ancient composer was exhilarating. It goes without saying that their realization in sound is exactly what I had intended.” BRIDGE BCD9439 Strings in Swingtime 090404943928 UPC CODE: POPULAR PRICE CODE L KERN, arr.

Also on this album are eight magnificent selections from the American Songbook arranged in the 1940s by Wladimir Selinsky for his NBC radio show, Strings in Swingtime. This is the first time these arrangements have been recorded; in addition to string quartet, the performances feature guest artists from the New York Philharmonic on bass, harp, and vibraphone.

Hill's beautifully crafted compositions have fallen off the musical map, a point illustrated by the fact that this recording of his Symphony No. 4, was made following its world premiere performance in 2013, some 72 years after the work's completion! In his day, Hill was performed regularly — between 1916 and 1949, the Boston Symphony performed his music on 85 occasions. Peter Bay, Anton Nel, and the Austin Symphony give us vivid performances of these fine scores. 6 D E C . /1 4 Albany Music Distributors, Inc.

Lake), Old Ironsides March—Main Title (1926) (Hugo Riesenfeld) – The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, Rick Benjamin, conductor (DDD 77:52) The motion picture is without doubt one of the most powerful art and entertainment forms in human history. And few would argue with the fact that a vital element of any film is its music: indeed, most hit movies owe a large part of their success to their scores (think Star Wars or The Sting to cite just two of hundreds of examples). With the advent of sound films (i.e. “talking pictures”) in the late 1920s up to the present time, motion picture music has been preserved on the films themselves, and can be readily experienced in viewings at theaters and via DVDs. But the soundscape of early cinema—the age of so-called “silent movies”—is hardly documented at all. Because of this almost total lack of ability to experience early film music, many wrong assumptions are made about it. Without any familiarity at all, writers and “researchers” often breezily dismiss music of the silent film era as “crude,” “primitive,” or otherwise beneath regard. But nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is that the entire vocabulary of film music as we know it today was developed in America between 1910 and 1925; there was—and still exists in the form of scores—a vast and beautiful repertoire of film music created by talented composers during that period. Yet virtually none of this important material is available on recordings (in any format) for research and enjoyment. Into this surprising historical void comes this recording, which presents for the first time the original scores of America’s pioneer film composers, including William Axt, Maurice Baron, Irénée Bergé, Gaston Borch, M.L. Lake, Erno Rapée, Hugo Riesenfeld, Victor L. Schertzinger, J.S. Zamecnik, and others. The twenty-eight pieces are sequenced in a way that will lead listeners into creating their own imaginary “daydream movie” as the CD is played. The extensive accompanying essay explores the widespread use of cinema orchestras (there were more than 8,000 of these in America by 1921); the methods for scoring (“setting”) the films (“photoplays”); period performance techniques; the nationwide network for publishing and distributing film scores; the working life of cinema musicians; the influence of brilliant, music loving showmen-exhibitors like Roxy (Samuel L. Rothepfel); and biographical profiles of the composers represented. Original orchestrations have been selected from the Capitol Theater’s 1,000–title collection of c. 1900 to 1928 cinema scores, played by the world’s leading silent film accompanists (with 650 screenings to date)—the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra. 12 D E C . /1 4 Albany Music Distributors, Inc.
