These recordings offer a fascinating insight into the playing of the Hallé before and during the Second World War, primarily with its
Principal Conductor, Hamilton Harty. Harty’s recorded legacy with the Hallé stretches from early acoustic recordings made in 1920,
through when he left Manchester in 1933. The Orchestra did not record again until 1941. It is important to remember the circumstances
under which these recordings were made; works needed to be divided up into four to five minute sections, and tempos often reflect this
fact. There were no “second chances,” no edits, and no opportunity to hear a finished take without destroying it!

“Ensemble Epomeo play all four compositions with huge commitment and brilliant flair, revealing every nuance in four wonderful
works for string trio. These can sit alongside anything written in this genre.” — MusicWeb International
Following their critically acclaimed debut recording of the complete string trios of Hans Gál and Hans Krása, which garnered a
Gramophone Editor’s Choice, Ensemble Epomeo turns to music by Eastern European and Russian composers written in the latter
half of the 20th century. Each work bears a distinct personal compositional stamp, providing for captivating listening and enlightening
contrasts: the Polish Penderecki’s dramatic and lyrical String Trio of 1990–91, the Russian compositional giant Schnittke’s String Trio of
1985, the haunting Trio of the increasingly recognized and respected Weinberg from 1950, and the ever-enigmatic Hungarian Kurtág,
whose continuously evolving signs, games, and messages represent a collection of highly individual miniatures.

as one of Germany’s leading orchestras. The number of renowned music directors, the scope and variety of its work, and its particular
emphasis on modern and contemporary music makes the ensemble unique. Founded as the RIAS Symphony Orchestra in 1946, it was
renamed the Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin in 1956 and has borne its current name since 1993.

Sheva Collection presents the world premiere recording of Arvo Pärt’s cantata “L’Abbé Agathon,” scored for a soprano and eight
cellos, written in 2004. The original score bears the dedication “pour Barbara Hendricks et l’Octuor de Violoncellos de Beauvais.” The
protagonist of the narration is the Abbé Agathon, one of the “desert fathers,” a congregation of hermits living around the 4th century
A.D. noted for their solitary lives and inspired by the teachings of the Gospel. They left numerous writings as a testimony of their ascetic
conduct for later generations. Among these teachings is the legend of Agathon meeting the leper, from which Pärt took his text for this
Cantata. The full libretto of the Cantata is included in the booklet.

Christina Rossetti has often been seen as a “children’s poet.” Her poems for children, some of
which are set here, have stood the test of time. The perfect lyricist, her brief poems each explore
a single mood. The composers can therefore dedicate themselves to giving the fullest expression
to a single poetic idea, all beautifully captured here.

Mozart’s well-known Piano Concerto K.482 is coupled here with the more unfamiliar Salieri
Concerto written in 1773. Although Salieri is essentially known as an opera composer, he did write
some fine instrumental and orchestral works. In fact, his only two piano concerti were both written
in the same year and dedicated to a “signora nobile” of Vienna (probably an excellent amateur
pianist). These concerti were neither intended nor prepared for publication. William Grant Naboré
has prepared this beautiful performing edition, and plays Bruno Pietri’s Mozart cadenzas.

Philip Glass is that rarest of contemporary classical composers: a musician
who has revolutionized the way art music is composed, and found a massive
audience in doing so. As much a pop and cult phenomenon as he is a
descendant of Beethoven, Glass’s music has been used in classic films like
Koyanisqaatsi and The Hours. But it’s in his music for solo piano that the
essence of his art is revealed. In this groundbreaking album from Australian
pianist Sally Whitwell, the first of its kind ever to be recorded in Australia,
all of Glass’s finest solo piano music is represented. The fabulous Australian
Stuart & Sons piano has been deployed for this recording, its crystalline tones
ideally suited to Glass’s hypnotically beautiful music.

Brahms’ Piano Concertos 1 & 2, in thrilling live performances by soloist
Garrick Ohlsson and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under the baton
of Tadaaki Otaka! According to Robert Schumann, Brahms was “a player
of genius who can make the piano an orchestra,” and though he wrote only
two piano concertos, both are masterpieces. Since winning the Gold Medal
at the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, Garrick Ohlsson has
established himself worldwide as a musician of magisterial interpretive and
technical prowess. His repertoire ranges over the entire piano literature,
and he has come to be noted for his masterly performances of the works of
Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert as well as the Romantic repertoire, with
more than 80 concertos at his command.

Zubin Mehta: conductor
STRAVINSKY: The Rite of Spring • MAHLER: Symphony No. 1
In 2012, conductor Alex Briger brought together Australia’s orchestral diaspora
for the first time — musicians born, bred, or trained in Australia, now largely
working overseas — and the Australian World Orchestra was born. Based
out of Sydney, AWO is now an annual event, and this recording is the result
of the orchestra working under Zubin Mehta in 2013. These performances
take Briger’s original idea to a whole new level, achieving a quality that unites

COPLAND: Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson • Appalachian Spring
(version for 13 instruments)
Emma Matthews is one of Australia’s most acclaimed sopranos, and Copland’s
Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson are the perfect vehicle for her technical
brilliance. In this recording there is a wonderful sense of the humane, of
vulnerability, and of exquisite tenderness, her expressive genius delivering
these one-way conversations most convincingly. The orchestration for the
Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson is in a chamber style calling for small orchestral
forces, so Copland’s Appalachian Spring for 13 instruments proves the ideal
coupling. This is a work that defines the essence of America in music: the wide
open skies, the pioneering spirit, and the values of simplicity and directness.

A selection of organ music by Handel and his English contemporaries,
played by internationally respected keyboard artist Robert Woolley in his first
recording on the Regent label. The disc includes both original organ music
and contemporary 18th-century transcriptions of works by Handel, together
with original works for organ by the most renowned British composers of
Handel’s time: William Boyce, Starling Goodwin, Maurice Greene, John
James, James Nares, Thomas Roseingrave, John Stanley, and William Walond.
The music is played on the 1766 Thomas Parker organ in the church of St. Mary
and St. Nicholas, Leatherhead. This instrument was reconstructed from
original casework and pipework by organ builders Goetze & Gwynn in 2007,
and is a rare example of organs from this period in England. This is the first
recording of this delightful 18th-century instrument.

Edward Woodall Naylor (1867–1934) was Organist of Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, from 1898 until his death. Apart from his well-known anthem
Vox dicentis: Clama and a few canticle settings, very little of his music is
in the repertoire of choirs today, and this recording presents a wide range
of unknown choral works. This is the first recording entirely devoted to
his choral works, and, appropriately, is sung by the present-day choir of
Emmanuel College, Cambridge directed by Richard Latham, in their first
recording on the Regent label. In addition to Vox dicentis, the Morning and
Evening canticles in A, and the Benedicte in G, this new recording contains
seven first recordings, and forms an ideal introduction to the composer’s
sacred choral works.

Thomas Trotter, one of the world’s greatest organists, presents a program of music to mark
the 250th anniversary of the organ in St Laurence’s Church, Ludlow — the church where
the ashes of A.E. Housman, writer of A Shropshire Lad, are buried. With a specially-tailored
program to showcase the historic stops by Snetzler, as well as the more recent additions in
the 19th and 20th centuries, the performance includes Elgar’s monumental Sonata in G, Op. 28
and a stunning demonstration of supreme virtuosity in Nyman’s Fourths, Mostly. The DVD
features a performance video of the program including footage of the church, Ludlow, and the
surrounding countryside, and the music is accompanied by quotations from the works of A.E.
Housman. In extra features Thomas Trotter talks about the music he performs on the recording,
and Shaun Ward, Director of Music at St Laurence’s Church, gives a tour of the organ.

On January 5, 1848 Robert Schumann founded a mixed choral
music society in Dresden. After only writing a cappella compositions
for male voices throughout the year, he started writing compositions
for mixed chorus from March 1849. The idea of creating a new genre
inspired the composer, as well as his wife Clara. The compositions
presented here are mostly results of this creative period.

The latest work on this CD is the Cello Concerto in A minor, from 1850. In the
worrying years leading to the composer’s death he was having trouble getting
works published, but a welcome approach came in 1853 from the publishing
house Breitkopf, with a fee of 20 Louis d’or for a few of Schumann’s latest
pieces, including the cello concerto, which they particularly liked. The composer
tantalizingly offered them a version with string quintet, and a piano reduction
along with a full orchestral score, but the last two never materialized. Raphael
Wallfisch was inspired by this intriguing concept, and asked distinguished Swiss
composer Arthur Lilienthal to adapt the full score for strings. The result, heard on
this recording, lends fresh clarity and lightness to the texture, allowing the soloist
even more freedom, especially at the low dynamic levels the composer calls for.
Raphael has played it with very small orchestras, often without conductor, which
emphasizes the pure chamber qualities of this wonderful work.

Bold, passionate, urgent — Augusta Read Thomas writes music that is wholly
and completely alive. The first two volumes of this recording series focused
on orchestral and chamber/piano music, collecting performances by various
ensembles. This third volume is something a bit different: a recording of a
live 50th birthday concert presented by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra
under the direction of William Boughton. One of the two large-scale works on
the recording is also one of Thomas’s most recent (and was premiered on the
concert), the dramatic Hemke Concerto “Prisms of Light” (2014). This concerto
was commissioned as a retirement gift for legendary saxophonist and pedagogue
Frederick L. Hemke by many of his students, past and present. The other
large-scale composition is Absolute Ocean (2008), a song-cycle for soprano and
orchestra with a significant obbligato harp part.

Without a doubt, Frederic Chopin is the poet of the piano. With
Beethoven, the piano already held a dominant position among
musical instruments, but with Chopin it achieved poetic status.
Chopin explored every possible genre for the piano; his work
list includes a wide range of compositions (preludes, waltzes,
mazurkas, polonaises, and more), as well as large-scale pieces like
his two concertos for piano and orchestra, or complex and highly
original pieces such as his four scherzos and his four ballades.

“Eirik the Viking” has been the stage name of Eirik Gjerdevik since

Joseph Charles Holbrooke was born in 1878, and his earliest grounding in
music came from his father, a fine pianist and a touring musician in the music
halls. Holbrooke later adopted the German spelling of his name, and most of
his works were published under that appellation, as were many of his articles
and other publications. In 1893, when he was fifteen, Holbrooke’s father
decided he had nothing more to teach him and entered him as a student
at The Royal Academy of Music. There, he won many honors and wrote
some fine music, despite finding himself not infrequently at loggerheads
with his tutors. In 1900, after Augustus Manns gave the first performance
of Holbrooke’s tone poem “The Raven” at one of his Saturday Afternoon
Concerts at Crystal Palace, his career began to take off. From 1897 to 1899
pieces for solo piano, or violin and piano, flowed from his pen. However, it is
not until we reach Op. 42 that we discover a really important piano work by
Holbrooke: the set of Ten Rhapsodie-Etudes. Some of these are reminiscent of
the sort of virtuoso studies produced by Henselt or Moscheles in the mid-19th
century, but others are more contemporary in style.

William Havergal Brian was virtually self-taught in composition, and in the early 20th century
began to make a name for himself. Some of his music was admired by Elgar, works of his
were performed by conductors such as Henry Wood and Thomas Beecham, but the musical
establishment — with the exception of his good friend Sir Granville Bantock — passed him by
and his growing body of mature work remained almost entirely unknown and unperformed. With
the death of Bantock in 1946, Brian lost his last advocate for performances of his music. Then, in
the early 1950s, his work came to the attention of a young BBC music producer named Robert
Simpson, who gradually brought about a growing number of performances (mostly in radio
broadcasts), which began to initiate recognition of Brian’s achievement.

It is reported that the island of Sri Lanka, off the coast of India, was sending ambassadors to the
Greek and Roman courts as early as the 1st century B.C. Reciprocal influences that scholars have
detected between Indian and classical Greek art may lead us to speculate on a time when music of
the Orient and the Occident were as one. Whatever their common origins, the respective worlds of
Asian and Occidental music moved to opposite poles during the ensuing millennia. Nevertheless,
Colonial expansion was bound to bring a cultural awakening in the course of time. From “fairy
lands forlorn” to Mallarme’s brise marine, from Rousseau’s “noble savage” to Gauguin — these are
but short steps.

“Metaphysically tinged … lustrous.” — Los Angeles Times
“Of ethereal simplicity … refined … spare.” — L.A. Weekly
This suite of seven works — six for cello & piano and one for six cellos — is
mesmerizing in its elegant beauty. The performers are cellist Derek Stein,
a member of noted Los Angeles new-music ensembles wild Up and
gnarwhallaby, and the composer, a revered fixture on the Southern California
new music scene for many years.

Beat Furrer’s new opera Wüstenbuch is based on several texts, from
ancient Egyptian writings to contemporary authors. The Wüste
(“desert”) provides a base where Furrer can place his drama without
a plot. The music and texts create a rich and complex atmosphere full
of history and poetry. In addition to the opera, this set also includes
three pieces on the second disc, giving an more detailed insight in the
composer’s music.

BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 5 (original) • Piano Concerto No. 5 for
solo piano, arr. Katsaris (premiere)
Ludwig van BEETHOVEN
This CD sees Cyprien Katsaris and Sir Neville Marriner conducting the
Academy of St. Martin in the Fields united in a performance of Beethoven’s
Concerto No. 5, Op. 73. The title “Emperor” is suggestive of a powerful
counter-offensive impulsion on the part of Beethoven — the composer was
living in Vienna — in reaction to the depredations of the Napoleonic hordes.
He actually started composing it in 1809, just at the time that Austria was
preparing to wage war on Napoleon, which does much to explain the military
tone of the Concerto. Familiar from a very young age with a vinyl recording
of the “Emperor” Concerto by Vladimir Horowitz with the RCA Victor
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner, Cyprien Katsaris had always
felt a degree of frustration regarding the orchestral passage. He was appalled
not to find them in the piano score, hence his determination, at 55 years of
age, to produce this transcription.

Baby Grand is a compilation of Roger Doyle’s best piano music over a 30-year
span, with tracks personally selected and performed by the composer. Roger
Doyle says: “In 1986 filmmaker Bob Quinn asked me to compose music for his
film Budawanny. The music was to play a central role in the film, which was
shot as a silent film in black and white with captions appearing when people
spoke. It required 70 minutes of music, uninterrupted by anyone talking over
it (a composer’s dream). In 1988 I was commissioned by the Gate Theatre,
Dublin, to compose and perform music for a production of Oscar Wilde’s
play Salomé, directed by Steven Berkoff, which required a piano player onstage
throughout the show, playing non-stop for almost two hours in a 1920s
banquet-style setting. The track Mansard is a childhood memory room and
comes from a five-CD set Babel, where each track corresponds to a room or
place in an imagined Tower City.”

Britain witnessed four coronations in the 20th century. The 11 marches
recorded here display an excitement and grandeur appropriate to an important
state and religious occasion, and highlight some of the finest ceremonial music
composed in the 20th century. Many composers were either commissioned or
inspired to commemorate these events, ranging from the ever-popular Elgar
and Walton to the less familiar Alexander Mackenzie and Percy Godfrey. Bax,
Bliss, and Sousa also caught the spirit of the moment with their legendary
marches. The newly formed London Symphonic Concert Band consists of
seasoned, experienced players who have played for years in British orchestras
and relish the chance to record repertoire that they obviously enjoy performing.

Crossing Waves: British Works for Solo Harp
Keziah Thomas issues her first solo album for Discovery Music and Vision
with works by Sir Malcolm Arnold, Sally Beamish, Andy Scott, Huw Watkins,
James Young and Benjamin Britten. Arnold’s Fantasy for Harp, Op. 117
was commissioned for harpist Osian Ellis, who was also the inspiration for
Britten’s Suite for Harp. Sally Beamish’s inspiration for Awuya is unusual
in that it celebrates the medical research into the African Sleeping Sickness
undertaken by Professor Keith Vickerman, and was commissioned by him.
Beamish took inspiration from African drumming, pentatonic music for
Central African harp, and a haunting lullaby sung by the tribe devastated
by the disease. Andy Scott composed Crossing Waves as a commission from
Keziah, inspired by the epic journey taken by Roz Savage, who rowed solo
across the Atlantic Ocean in 2005. Huw Watkins’ Suite was commissioned by
the Presteigne Music Festival, and premiered in 2006. Keziah commissioned
James Young to write a work to commemorate the year 2012, which not only
saw the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee but also the Olympics held in London.

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Christopher Gunning: conductor
GUNNING: Symphony No. 6 • Night Voyage • Symphony No. 7
After his Fifth Symphony, Christopher Gunning felt the need to tackle
something on an altogether smaller scale; something simpler, more
direct, clearer in its orchestration, and in a way more “classical” than its
predecessors. With his Sixth Symphony, he returned to the idea of a single
span incorporating several sub-sections, a form which he had already
explored in his First, Third, and Fourth Symphonies. As a result, the work
feels more like a tone-poem than a conventional symphony. Night Voyage is
a sea piece, and was born on a rainy evening standing by the Mersey River.
A patch of orange lit the darkening sky and seabirds called mournfully as
he watched a large grey freighter slipping majestically out to sea. The result
is a tone poem that has obvious parallels with life, depicting a journey
through an emotional crisis to a resolution of sorts. The theme of journeying
is carried through to his Seventh Symphony. Like the Sixth, the music is
continuous but this time falls into six main sections, or “phases,” all founded
in various ways on the rising whole-tone scale heard at the very start. This
affects the harmonic language, but the Seventh is also the most directly tonal
of all of Gunning’s recent pieces.

Incandescent has two meanings: an intense glow, which can generate colors, or “being full of high
emotion and passion.” Beethoven described the guitar as “an orchestra at your fingertips” because of
the many different colors that can be achieved while playing it. The music on this album displays the
guitar’s abundant colors and nuances, and is highly expressive. This new CD is sure to delight listeners
with its enchanting mix of well-known guitar works and new compositions.

On December 1, 1924, Zoltán Kodály’s Psalmus Hungaricus was
performed for the first time in a version that also featured a
children’s choir. This was a significant turning point in his career;
though he had already composed choral works, from 1925 choral
music became the central genre of his oeuvre.
MAHLER: Symphony No. 1 in D major “Titan”
Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 originally consisted of five movements,
but Mahler made many major revisions until the piece reached
its definitive four-movement form. However, a subsequent fivemovement version is still in existence. The Blumine movement
of this version was inserted as the second movement in the final
version, and it is in this form that Zoltán Kocsis conducted the
piece on this CD.

Ambrosian Chants for Epiphany
Post-Tridentine Gregorian Chant in Hungary
The city of Milan traces its liturgical music back to the doctor of
the church, Saint Ambrose. The Ambrosian liturgy is a sister to the
Roman, with many common but many differing traits.
35
In the mid-16th century came a turning point for Gregorian
chant in Europe. Although the Synod of Trent dealt with music
hardly at all, it established uniform liturgical texts for the
continent. These dated back to an old tradition, and were not
obligatory for churches, yet they were adopted sooner or later
practically everywhere.

Roberto Fabbriciani has enjoyed a long musical career, always in
search of new instrumental possibilities, new ways of expression,
and unusual horizons in sound. His collaboration with Giacinto
Scelsi dates from the 1960s, when they met in Rome at the festival
Nuova Consonanza. From that time, Roberto has been fascinated
by the language and poetics of Scelsi, and has interpreted all his
flute works at different international festivals.
SCIARRINO: Cantare con silenzio • Berceuse • Libro notturno

The three works by Salvatore Sciarrino on this CD are from live
performances in Rome (2007) and Tokyo (2012). By chance, their
date of composition creates a kind of numerical rhyme (1969,
1999, 2009).

This new recording of the ever-popular Misa Criolla was made to mark the 50th anniversary of its
creation in 1964. It’s a sparkling, genuinely Latino version, reminiscent of the original recordings. In
this vibrant new edition Ramirez’s popular mass is embedded in the 17th- and 18th-century vespers,
villancicos, and hymns, all examples of spontaneous expressions of popular religion and folk culture.
Ramirez’s composition indeed draws upon an ancient tradition of popular devotion and is deeply rooted
in Latin America’s folk music. Surprisingly, no new recorded versions of any importance have seen the
light since the early nineties!
