| |  | The Stokowski Edition, VIII
" Particularly in the two Ives recordings you can hear just how important an advocate Leopold Stokowski was for music of this century. The 1970 LSO recording of Messiaen's Ascension is a finely-honed interpretation of this melancholy masterpiece, and is, I think, the best on disc anywhere."

| |  | Camberling conducts Berlioz & Messiaen
Nadine Deniz (mezzo soprano), Pitor Beczala (teno), Peter Lika (bass) South West German Radio Symphony Orchestra, Baden, Europa Academy Chorus, Sylvain Camberling In the autumn of 1827, Hector Berlioz witnessed a performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (with Harriet Smithson in the role of Juliet). The composer later wrote of this experience: “I will marry this woman and base my greatest symphony on this drama”. Berlioz kept his word (on both counts), but the resulting “symphony” baffled contemporary audiences. Even today, Berlioz's hybrid operatic-symphony has failed to find a lasting place in the repertoire, owing primarily to the impracticalities of its performance. All the more a pity, since in the hands of gifted operatic maestro, Sylvain Camberling, Romeo et Juliette lives up to its promise as Berlioz's GREATEST score. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Olivier Messiaen, Yvonne Loriod, Marie-Claire Alain, Katia and Marielle Labeque Kent Nagano & Pierre Boulez includes a disc of Olivier Messiaen interviewed by Claude Samuel (in French), 1988 “A bumper bargain box of some of the greatest recordings-compulsive.” BBC Music Magazine, 1st October 2005 “…her playing is nothing short of magnificent – superb range of sonority, rock-sure rhythm, unfailing attention to polyphonic strands, thrilling attack and tender caress in equal measure. … Under her touch there seems to be no such thing as a worn-out harmony or an unmusical one.” Gramophone Magazine (on Yvonne Loriod's piano performances on these CDs)  BBC Music Magazine
