Rondo Alla Polacca Frontini-porto - Adagio Und Rondo Fuer Klavier Zu Tosi, Giorgio Leonida - Sonate Fuer Violine Und Kl 1. Allegro Gustoso 2. Andante 3. Rondo: Allegro Scherzando ? Friedrich Kuhlau (1786-1832) was born in Hannover, but as a student he went to Denmark, where he stayed the rest of his life, becoming an important national composer. ? Kuhlau was a near contemporary of Beethoven, and his style shares elements of that genius (alas not the genius…): rooted in the 17th century classicism it foreshadows the Romantic movement in a true expression of affect, daring dissonances and sudden harmonic changes, and a general expression of romantic moods as favoured in the fashionable salons. ? Kuhlau is nowadays best known for his Sonatinas for amateur pianists, serving as a welcome alternative to the more classical sonatinas by Clementi. ? This new recording present Kuhlau’s Violin Sonatas Op. 79, music of considerable drama, brilliance and virtuosity, but also of gentle lyricism and charm. ? As interludes to these sonatas the piano duo Porto-Frontini plays two works for piano 4-hands, an Allegro Pathétique and an Adagio & Rondo. ? Played by Giorgio Leonida Tosi on a baroque violin, pianist Paolo Porto plays an 1830 Viennese Stein piano.

Montero, Patxi - Sonate Fuer Viola Da Gamba Und Ce 1. Adagio 2. Allegro Ma Non Tanto 3. Andante 4. Allegro Moderato Montero, Patxi - Sonate Fuer Viola Da Gamba Und Ce 1. Adagio 2. Allegro 3. Andante 4. Allegro Montero, Patxi - Sonate Fuer Viola Da Gamba Und Ce 1. Vivace 2. Adagio 3. Allegro ? In this new recording of the magnificent (and still undervalued) sonatas for viola da gamba by Bach the keyboard is an organ, a german school Rückpositiv. The use of the organ instead of the harpsichord has changed the interpretation of the musician to a large extent: the sustained sound of the organ tones (contrary to the quickly decaying sound of the harpsichord) heightens the tension of the harmonics, especially the dissonances. The length of the notes is therefore often shortened, taking into account the reverberant acoustics of the church, which also affected the tempo choices. In short, this interpretation is completely different from the harpsichord version, shedding a new light on these masterpieces by Bach, who himself was never averse to using different instruments for his works. ? Patxi Montero is one of the foremost viola da gamba players of this moment, he frequently collaborates with Early Music groups such as Concerto Italiano, Il Giardino Armonico, Zefiro, Europa Galante and conductors Rinaldo Alessandrini, Diego Fasolis and Fabio Biondi. Daniele Boccaccio already made a highly acclaimed recording for Brilliant Classics of his own organ arrangements of Bach’s violin concertos (BC94829). ? Excellent liner notes written by the musicians.

Presto The start of a new prestigious series on Brilliant Classics: the complete instrumental music by Albinoni! Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) spent most of his life in his native Venice, he was a famous opera composer, and was one of the few composers who were of independent means, not in the service of Court or Church. Nowadays Albinoni is foremost known for his instrumental works, trio sonatas and concertos, showing his great melodic gift, his inventiveness and high spirits. These Trio Sonatas Op. 1 are played by the Italian elite group L’Arte dell’Arco, led by violinist Federico Guglielmo, with an established reputation in this repertoire, having won several international prizes and rave reviews for their numerous CD’s, notably their Vivaldi cycle for Brilliant Classics.

Giovanni Salvatore lived from 1620 till 1688, living and working as organist in Naples. His most important work is the collection of “Ricercari a Quattro voci, Canzoni, Canzoni Francesi, Toccate, et Versi per rispondere nelle Messe con l’Organo al Choro”. ? In the 17th century the Roman Catholic liturgy accepted certain instrumental interludes during the service of the mass, either as an addition or as a replacement of certain parts of the mass. No doubt this practice inspired composers to write extensive and elaborate works for the organ in which they could show their compositional skills. ? Salvatore’s style is typical of the Neapolitan liturgy during the Baroque: a rich vocal tapestry of opulent vocal and instrumental polyphony. ? Organist Federico Del Sordo and the Nova Schola Gregoriana conducted by Alberto Turco are specialists in this specific repertoire, they already recorded the Organ Alternatim Masses by Merulo for Brilliant Classics (BC95145). They use a historic 1678 organ by Giovanni Boccanegra, the specifications of which are included in the booklet.

This CD presents the first recording on period instruments of Vivaldi’s complete Opus 5, consisting of 4 violin sonatas for violin solo and continuo, as well as two Trio Sonatas for two violins and continuo. ? In the years of composition of these works Vivaldi’s fame had already widely spread and he was keen to publish this set of chamber music as his Opus 5. The music is vintage Vivaldi: fresh, vigorous, full of melodic and harmonic invention and instrumental brilliance. ? This CD is part of the complete edition based on the original sources of the New Vivaldi Edition by the Italian early music group L’Arte dell’Arco, led by violinist Federico Guglielmo, who is the soloist in these sonatas, seconded by a continuo of cello and harpsichord. “They understand the secret language of Vivaldi” (Diapason).

Allegro Assai ? The Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the most famous and influential son of the great Johann Sebastian, was one of the first composers to give a prominent role to the clarinet as solo and chamber music instrument. By 1760 the production of clarinets with 4 or 5 keys provided a great variety of timbre and tonal flexibility. These qualities prompted the composer to write a number of original works and to rewrite existing works including the clarinet as an equal partner within the ensemble, taking the role of leading melodic instrument (hitherto given to the flute or the violin). ? This is the first recording of these works featuring the clarinet! ? Luigi Magistrelli is one of the leading and most enterprising Italian clarinettists, delving up unknown music for his instrument. He successfully recorded for Brilliant Classics clarinet works by Archduke Rudolph (BC94952) and chamber music by Rebay (BC94171).

Hans Werner Henze was one of the most important composers of the 2nd half of the 20th century, and certainly one of the most prolific.

Franz Tunder (1614-1667) was born in the German city of Lübeck, where he stayed his whole life as organist and treasurer of the St. Marienkirche. ? Tunder is one of the cornerstones of the North German organ school. His style is the “Stylus Phantasticus”, in which the emotional content of the text is the basis of the musical expression, using sudden harmonic changes, dissonances and tone painting. ? Tunder left an oeuvre consisting of Chorale Preludes on Lutheran hymns, as well as several separate organ preludes. ? Emanuele Cardi is one of the foremost Italian organists, specialized in early organs and the restoration of Baroque instruments. On this recording he plays a magnificent Ghilardi organ built in 1996, inspired by the 17th century German Arp Schnitger instruments. ?

Hungarian violinist Kristóf Baráti is recognised as one of the leading violinists of his generation. He plays with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Mariinsky, WDR Sinfonieorchester, London Philharmonic, and conductors like Gergiev, Dutoit, Jurowski, Masur, Pletnev, Fischer, Temirkanov. ? His extensive discography for Brilliant Classics led to great critical acclaim: “..Baráti is out of the top drawer. With intensity of sound, unbridled athleticism and searing leaps into the stratosphere which send a tingle down the spine” (Gramophone), “Masterful, probing, meditative, it rang with a rare sense of authenticity, and almost majestic scope” (Washington Post). “He is on the order of magnitude greater than any other violinist I’ve encountered in at least 10 years” (Fanfare on the Beethoven violin sonatas, with Klára Würtz, piano). ? On this 2 CD set Baráti plays the complete works for violin and orchestra of Mozart: masterful, strong, alternating great vitality and tenderness, vigour and beauty. He himself conducts the excellent Hungarian Chamber Orchestra.

? This 40 CD set contains a wealth of 19th century piano concertos written by composers who for some reason or other have been neglected by history, so called “minor masters” who may have lost the battle against the giants but nevertheless wrote very attractive, impressive and brilliant concertos for the piano (which in many cases was “their” instrument). ? To name just a few: Hummel, Field, Czerny, Cramer, Ries, Clementi, Thalberg, Moscheles, Litolff, Kalkbrenner, Lyapunov, Balakirev, Medtner, Glazunov, Henselt, Moszkowski, Scharwenka and many more, over 60 composers! ? Most of the recordings come from the rich and unique VOX catalogue, featuring such excellent pianists as Michael Ponti, Felicja Blumenthal, Hans Kann, Martin Galling, Jerome Rose, Roland Keller and many more. ? A treasure trove of the unexpected, the unjustly neglected and

The organ is usually associated with the church and sacred music. However, in Renaissance and early baroque small organs were often used in noble mansions and courts for performance of secular music. Collections of instruments held by courts in England and Italy include a considerable number of small organs, often richly decorated and inlayed with ivory and turtle-shell. ? This anthology offers a fascinating view on the secular repertoire that organists from 5 countries were performing on organs at royal courts. ? Renowed Italian organist Francesco Cera plays a beautiful “Organo ottavino” from 1772 of Neapolitan build. He plays works by Antico, Frescobaldi, Gabrieli, Pasquini, de Cabezon, Scheidemann, Scheidt, Attaingnant and Du Mont. ? The booklet contains liner notes and all information and photo of the organ.

His most important post was that of the Notre Dame in Paris, where he was celebrated for his improvisations. As a composer indulged in the post-Wagnerian language of his era: highly complicated counterpoint, dense, chromatic harmonies and an exalted, spiritual atmosphere characterise his works. ? This new recording presents his magnificent Piano Quintet, a monumental work (of the same proportions and scope as Cesar Franck’s piano quintet) suffused with an overwhelming emotional intensity, caused by the sudden death of the composer’s child. ? The song cycle “Spléens et et détresses” on poems by Verlaine breathe a mixture of mystical emotion and sensual ardour. ? Beautiful performances by mezzo soprano Anaik Morel, the Quatuor Terpsicordes and the great Lithuanian pianist Muza Rubackyte, who already recorded successfully a CD with piano music by Louis Vierne (BC 95154), which received 5 stars in Diapason.

This CD presents a fascinating musical illustration of the paths which led to the composition of Verklärte Nacht, Arnold Schoenberg’s masterpiece for string sextet, the late romantic outpouring of a harmonic and melodic language at the end of its development, and at the same time the beginning of a new language. ? Alessandro Maria Carnelli, scholar, musicologist, author and musician compiled a number of works which deeply influenced Schoenberg: the 6- part (sextet) Ricercar by J.S. Bach, songs by Brahms and Berg transcribed for voice and string sextet, two unfinished works for string sextet by Zemlinsky (a close friend of Schoenberg), all culminating in the work itself, Verklärte Nacht by Schoenberg. ? Performed by mezzo-soprano Gabriella Sborgi and a string sextet formed with the principal players of the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova, conducted by Alessandro Maria Carnelli. ? The booklet contains extensive information on the background of this intriguing conceptual album.

Ginevra Petrucci is an excellent Italian flute player, noted for her innovative programmes. She already recorded Flute Quintets by Kuhlau (BC 94769) and Romantic Flute Concertos by Dupuy and Büchner (BC 95192), to great critical acclaim.

Rondo Alla Polacca: Vivace Vismara, Augusto - Konzert Fuer Violine, Klavier U 1. Allegro 2. Rondo: Allegro ? This 2 CD set contains some seldom heard early 19th century concertos in which the piano plays the leading role. ? Carl Czerny, a famous pianist and teacher, student of Beethoven, wrote an immense oeuvre for the piano, in which his prodigious technique could be shown to the greatest advantage. This recording features a Piano Concerto in A minor and a Concerto for Piano 4-hands: good tunes, brilliant pianism: highly attractive! ? Giovanni Viotti made world fame as a violinist, his many concertos for this instrument are standard repertoire. Viotti arranged one of his most famous concertos, the G minor, for piano solo and orchestra. Also featured is the double concerto for piano, violin and orchestra in A major. ? Played with obvious zest and “Spielfreude” by David Boldrini as soloist, the Rami Musicali Orchestra is conducted by Massimo Belli.
