London Philharmonic Orchestra, Marin Alsop These live recordings of three modern classics reflect the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s strong commitment to contemporary composers. The first two are breakthrough works from 1990 by British composers Thomas Adès and James MacMillan, the third a spectacular concerto by Jennifer Higdon, one of America’s most successful composers. Marin Alsop and Colin Currie give impassioned performances revealing the full range of emotions contained in the music. Marin Alsop has made many previous recordings with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. These include the entire set of Brahms symphonies and a number of contemporary works by the orchestra’s Composer in Residence Mark-Anthony Turnage. “Whistles and whoops greeted this invigorating première.” Daily Telegraph, December 2007 (on the Higdon) “Exciting music, excitingly performed; from Alsop you expect nothing else.” The Times, February 2007 (on the MacMillan) |

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop Though outwardly sunny in its subject matter, The Wooden Prince has a mystical side that may explain Bartók’s attraction to the story. “Alsop and her orchestra do justice to Bartók's most overtly romantic large-scale score; it's a performance that will surely appeal beyond the ranks of Bartók devotees to balletomanes generally.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Joshua Bell (violin) Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop Composer, John Corigliano and violinist Joshua Bell - two of biggest names in classical music - teamed up to create one of 1999's best soundtracks, ‘The Red Violin’. The composer and violinist have joined up once again to create this album, a brand new concerto inspired by the aforementioned soundtrack “Corigliano's score for François Girard's film The Red Violin (1997) was the starting-point for the latest concerto. …a romantic, dramatic, lyrical four-movement work with luxuriant orchestral textures that benefited from starting life as a film.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008  BBC Music Magazine

London Philharmonic Orchestra, Marin Alsop “Alsop’s triumphant cycle of Brahms symphonies with the LPO comes to a climactic end with this hugely impressive account of the Fourth. She has that ability, vital in music as dense as this, to hurry nothing, to make the most of the moment, yet always to maintain a sense of impetus.”
The Sunday Times “A rhythmically taut, finely structured reading with plenty of dynamism ad thrust, but giving full rein to the work's deep elegiac aspects.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2007 “The LPO, London's finest Brahms ensemble, has been in vintage form during this cycle under Marin Alsop's measured and thoughtful direction.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
