Haydn - 6 Divertimenti for flute, violin & cello

Haydn:

Divertimento in C major, Hob. IV:8

Divertimento in G major, Hob. IV:9

Divertimento in D major, Hob. IV:6

Divertimento in G major, Hob. IV:7

Divertimento in A major, Hob. IV:10

Divertimento in D major, Hob. IV:11

Luis Meireles (flute), Pedro Meireles (violin) & Ken Ichinose (cello)

The CD divertimenti is slightly unusual in the context of Haydn Celebrations as the repertoire recorded is less well known by the general public. The set of 6 divertimenti for flute, violin and cello has been almost completely disregarded outside the repertoire of flautists and is seldom heard in concerts. This collection of beautiful and elegant pieces is performed by Luis Meireles (flute), Pedro Meireles (violin) and Ken Ichinose (cello).

Divertimento is the Italian word for amusement, from the verb divertire. These short, simply constructed and delightful works composed by Haydn in 1784 are intended to do just that; to entertain and amuse the audience with their light, buoyant tone, requiring little of the listener but to take pleasure in the sound of the music.

Although the instruments used in this recording have a contemporary set up, in the interpretation heard here, the artists are well aware of performance practice relative to the early classical period and create a sound that brings together the exciting length of phrasing and complex shapes that have been developed through the romantic period and the 20th century and the elegant, beauty-filled sound and charged energetic articulation of the period instruments interpretations.

Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor

Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti, Sherrill Milnes, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Ryland Davies, Huguette Tourangeau & Pier Francesco Poli

Orchestra & Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Richard Bonynge

50 years ago one of the most sensational debuts in the history of opera took place at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden when the young Joan Sutherland triumphed in the title role of Donizetti's masterpiece. She went on to sing the part hundreds of times around the globe and make the role undisputedly her own. It was the interpretation of this role that lead to her being dubbed "La Stupenda".

To mark this Anniversary, we proudly present a deluxe limited edition of one of Decca's greatest recordings. The definitive performance of this much-loved opera featuring Joan Sutherland at the height of her powers with an astonishing cast of great singers - the young Luciano Pavarotti, Sherrill Milnes and Nicolai Ghiaurov, under the direction of bel canto supremo Richard Bonynge. Achnowledged to be one of legendary producer Christopher Raeburn's finest achievements, this newly remastered edition (on 2CDs for the first time) further improves the already outstanding sound quality.

A bonus CD includes Joan Sutherland's famous recording of the Mad Scene from her 1959 debut recital for Decca as well as the performance from her first Lucia recording under Sir John Pritchard.

The edition will be in the same high quality hard-back book format as the Anniversary Karajan/Freni/Pavarotti "La Bohčme" and will include 4-language libretto, copious photographs and a special note from the conductor Richard Bonynge.

This is a limited edition release.

Vivaldi - Vespro per la Vergine

Vivaldi:

Domine ad adiuvandum me (Psalm 69), R.593

Dixit Dominus, RV807

Laetatus sum (psalm 121), R.607

Nisi Dominus RV803

Lauda, Jerusalem, RV609

Magnificat RV610

Musica Fiata & La Capella Ducale, Roland Wilson

The new CD by Musica Fiata and La Capella Ducale directed by Roland Wilson is devoted to sacred works by Antonio Vivaldi. Although Vivaldi was himself a priest, his name is more often connected with instrumental music and opera. However, he wrote a great many sacred works including some hitherto unknown works which are presented on this recording, having been recently discovered in the Saxon Regional Library in Dresden. They are Nisi Dominus RV 803 and Dixit Dominus RV 807, and their discovery has contributed to more attention being focused on his sacred compositions. Also included on this recording, which once again reveals the exceptional quality of Roland Wilson's ensembles, are the Magnificat RV 610, Lauda Jerusalem RV 803, Laetatus sum RV 607 and Domine ad adjuvandum RV 593.

Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, Cambridge University Musical Society Chorus, New Philharmonia Orchestra & Band of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, Stephen Cleobury, Sir Philip Ledger & Sir David Willcocks

There is surely no more quintessentially English sound than that of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, its unaccompanied voices – evocative of immemorial sandstone, of cool cloisters, of evensong in church, chapel and cathedral – serene in the music of Shakespeare’s contemporaries Byrd and Gibbons, ethereal in Delius heard of a summer’s night across the Backs of the River Cam.

No less iconic is the chapel that lends its unique acoustic to that sound. One of the glories of the English perpendicular style of architecture, it was eventually completed in 1547, a little over a century after the founding of the college itself by Henry VI.

This collection opens and closes with coronation music: Zadok the Priest was written for the crowning of George II in 1727, I was glad for that of Edward VII in 1902. Both were so successful that they have been sung at every coronation since their premičres. Parry’s ‘processional anthem’ is heard here in its full panoply of extra brass and shouted Vivats, the choir of King’s choir providing the semi-chorus in the exquisite interlude ‘O pray for the peace of Jerusalem’.

In between are motets ancient and modern – from the miniature If ye love me and the architectural splendour of the 40-part Spem in alium to William Harris’s dramatic double-choir Spenser setting Faire is the Heaven; well-known psalms sung to Anglican chant; and favourite hymns, notably All people that on earth do dwell, arranged ceremonially for another coronation, that of Elizabeth II.

As well as national rejoicing there is solemn remembrance. Come ye sons of art away is Purcell’s 1694 birthday ode for Queen Mary, Thou knowest, Lord part of the music he wrote for her funeral just nine months later. John Ireland’s Greater love hath no man is often heard on Remembrance Sunday; Sir John Tavener’s Song for Athene made a powerful impression at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales; while John Rutter’s small-scale, personal Requiem touched a wider public following the attacks of 11 September 2001. But ‘Nimrod’ above all epitomises music of national remembrance. Here a choral setting of it, Lux aeterna, represents our ‘Shakespeare of music’, Edward Elgar.

The 12 Cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker (P) 2000

This 6 CD set contains a fine collection of 100 favourite cello classics, performed by some of the world’s leading artists. Among them are giants of the past such as Pablo Casals, Janos Starker, Pierre Fournier, Paul Tortelier, Jacqueline du Pré and Mstislav Rostropovich, as well as more recent stars like Lynn Harrell, Truls Mřrk, Steven Isserlis, Julian Lloyd Webber, Robert Cohen, Han-Na Chang, Gautier Capuçon and Natalie Clein.

Each CD is themed according to eras and genres, and the details are as follows:

CD 1: THE BAROQUE CELLO

This disc begins with complete performances of three of the famous Cello Suites of J.S. Bach, each by a different legendary cellist – Pablo Casals, Paul Tortelier and Mstislav Rostropovich – and ends with music by another of the great Baroque composers, Antonio Vivaldi.

CD 2: THE CLASSICAL CELLO

The programme on this CD includes masterpieces by the leading composers of the Classical Era – Monn, Haydn, Boccherini and Beethoven – and sees the first appearance of the greatly loved British cellist Jacqueline du Pré, as well as a number of other major performers such as Truls Mřrk and Steven Isserlis.

CD 3: BRAHMS AND BEFORE

This disc covers popular works written in the early19th century by Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Paganini before concluding with a number of later compositions by Dvorák and Brahms.

CD 4: THE ROMANTIC CELLO

The music heard here was written mainly in the latter part of the 19th century and includes compositions by Saint-Saëns, Fauré, Franck, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Bruch, Richard Strauss and Rachmaninov. The CD concludes with the finale of the delightful Cello Concerto by Sir Arthur Sullivan, which was thought lost when the unpublished manuscript score and orchestral parts were destroyed in a fire in 1964. But it was later reconstructed in the 1980s by David Mackie and Sir Charles Mackerras from a copy of the soloist’s part found in the USA and Mackerras’s recollection of the scoring from having conducted the work in 1953.

CD 5: THE MODERN CELLO

This programme covers works composed in the 20th century by leading composers of the time such as Elgar, Sibelius, Prokofiev, Britten, Bloch, Barber and Shostakovich, as well as more recent compositions by Gubaidulina and Tavener.

CD 6: ENCORES AND SHOWPIECES

The final CD is a cornucopia of short works, ranging from spectacular encore pieces like ‘Moto perpetuo’ by Paganini and ‘Dance of the Elves’ by Popper, to lyrical and romantic encores like ‘Clair de lune’ by Debussy and ‘Chanson hindou’ from Rimsky-Korsakov’s exotic opera Sadko. The whole collection concludes with an ensemble of twelve cellists from the illustrious Berliner Philharmoniker in an exciting performance of the Fugue that concludes Bachianas brasileiras No.1 by Villa-Lobos.
