Some of this is due to the exceptional status which had been achieved by organists in cities like Hamburg and Lbeck in the course of the century; they had become both virtuosi par excellence, and at the same time learned composers. The foundation had been laid by the teachings of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621), who had brought an entire generation of North German organists to this exalted level. But at the same time as this generation, typified by Jacob Praetorius, Heinrich Scheidemann, Melchior Schildt, and others, concentrated primarily on the organ as a medium for performance and composition, their students, in turn, took things a step further. They assembled a group (usually a small one) of singers and instrumentalists around the organ for the performance of refined, erudite vocal music, strongly inspired by concertante church music from Italy. Freed from the confines of liturgical requirements, they therefore chose texts, both Latin and German, which offered numerous opportunities for expressive composition: specially chosen excerpts from the Bible (strikingly often those dealing with suffering and death) and devotional texts, many of which were strongly mystic or pietistic in tone. The most important member of this second generation was Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707), who was most probably a student of Scheidemann, and who succeeded Franz Tunder in the post of organist at the Marienkirche of Lbeck from 1668 until his death. His surviving compositions include not only a large quantity of organ and harpsichord works, but also a number of string sonatas and some 120 cantatas. The enormous range of texts, compositional techniques, and settings - from intimate solo cantatas to large-scale works - suggests that he enjoyed a good deal of artistic freedom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA good example of this is provided by Buxtehudes setting, BuxWV 38, of the Psalm text Herr, wenn ich nur dich habe [Lord, when I have but Thee] (Psalm 73, verse 25-26), a beloved funerary text in seventeenth-century Germany, usually set as a solemn motet. In contrast, Buxtehudes setting is a fashionable, graceful Ciacona, with a repeated six-note bass motive - a compositional technique which originated in Italian secular music. Above this unchanging bass line, the soprano engages in lively exchanges with the two violins, including much word-painting, e.g. the swaying triplets at meines Herzens Trost (the comfort of my heart). This Ciacona was written in the 1670s; in contrast, the Dialogus inter Christum et fidelem animam, Wo ist doch mein Freund geblieben? [Where for is my friend departed] (BuxWV 111) is a late work of the 1690s. This dialogue between Christ and the faithful soul, sung respectively by bass and soprano, is based on a paraphrase of a familiar text from the Song of Songs, referring to the lost beloved (Christ in this context). The text is strophic, but Buxtehude only sets the beginning, the monologue of the searching soul, as a song with uncomplicated alternation between the soprano, accompanied only by the continuo, and the strings. After the Beloved has been found, a freely composed dialogue arises between the two voices, an operatic love duet which is crowned by the ecstatic 6\/8 meter of the conclusion So lieben die Seele und Jesus zusammenSie brennen und stehen in lieblichen Flammen. [Thus the Soul and Christ mingle their loveThey live and burn in the flames of love]. O Gottes Stadt [O city of God] (Bux WV 87) is also based on a strophic song text, in this case drawn from the Himmlische Lieder of 1642 by Johann Rist, a poet who was both a familiar figure in organist circles in Hamburg as well as a friend to Buxtehudes presumed teacher, Scheidemann. Buxtehude uses only the first and last verses of Rists song text, which speaks of longing for the eternal heavenly Jerusalem. Rists text is made to order for a simple strophic aria (and in the 1642 collection, it is indeed set in this way by the Hamburg violinist Johann Schop), but it has inspired Buxtehude to compose a compelling, broadly proportioned concertante version in which the strings function as an emotional sounding board for the soprano another example of freely written organists music. The first verse is set as an expansive sarabande with strikingly realistic illustration of the believers sighs. The second verse begins in a hesitant, searching four quarter time, and Buxtehude also lets the words break off (wenn ich aus diesem Leben) [when from this life I]. But he returns to the ecstatic, dancing 3\/4 meter, and the reason can be found in the continuation of the text (zu dir spring in dein Reich hinein) [leap up to Thy glorious kingdom]. The works climax comes with the elaborate setting of the rejoicing Zion with showy coloratura writing for the soprano. Buxtehude must have drawn much inspiration from the music of Franz Tunder (1614-1667), his predecessor in the office of Lbeck organist. Tunder was in close contact with the Sweelinck-based school of Hamburg organists. Buxtehude married Tunders daughter and in this way became the direct heir to his music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTunders compositions, of which disappointingly few have survived, are distinguished by their unusual richness of harmony and polyphonic writing. An Wasserflen Babylon [By the waters of Babylon], a much-loved chorale in North German organists circles, was composed by Tunder as a type of polyphonic motet for soprano (taking the chorale melody) and five stringed instruments. Tunder set the first lines of this hymn, known as the Lament of Zion very expressively, culminating in the chromaticism of the line da weinten wir [there we wept]. From this point onwards, the setting relaxes into a more homophonic, simpler idiom for the remaining lines of the hymn. Far different is Tunders Ach Herr, la deine lieben Engelein [O lord, let Thy dear angels] - a text which is widely known from the closing chorale of Bachs St. John Passion. This is the third verse of Martin Schallings 1571 hymn Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr [Great is my love for Thee, o Lord]; the chorale melody usually associated with it is completely missing here, however. Instead, Tunder, like his son-in-law Buxtehude some years later in O Gottes Stadt, has written a concertante aria on the text. After a speaking sinfonia, the soprano sings the first half of the text in continuous dialogue with the strings; the last line, ruhen bis am jngsten Tage [to rest until the final day] is then illustrated in a static instrumental interlude. The change of affect afterwards, with Alsdenn vom Tode erwecke michin ewiger Freud [so then Thou shalt awaken me from death.in eternal joy], in rapid triple time, could not be greater. Tunder made a close study of the vocal church music composed by Monteverdi and his successors, as can be clearly seen in the German composers reworking of a motet by Giovanni Rovetta. But Tunders other Latin settings also draw their inspiration from the south, as is surely the case for O Jesu dulcissime, a solo motet for bass on a seventeenth-century devotional text. Matthias Weckmann (1616\/9-1674) a student of both Heinrich Schtz and Jacob Praetorius, and organist at the Hamburg St. Jacobi from 1655, also wrote unmistakeable organists music. In 1663, Hamburg suffered a serious epidemic of the plague, which killed many citizens including several of the most important musicians, among them Scheidemann and the city cantor, Thomas Selle. This catastrophe inspired the large-scale dialogue Wie liegt die Stadt so wste [How the city doth lie desolate], completed by Weckmann on October 14th 1663. Here again we have an unmistakably liberated composer at work: the verses from the Lamentations of Jeremiah have been carefully selected and reshuffled in such a way as to allow them to be set as a soprano-bass dialogue. With the exception of the closing segment, the voices only sing separately: the soprano assumes the role of narrator, and symbolizes the mourning widow at the opening of the piece, whereas the bass takes the part of the somber, sinful prophet himself. The structure of the dialogue is underlined instrumentally by the sopranos accompaniment being limited to the continuo, while the bass is accompanied by the full string ensemble. This basic contrast, as well as the inspired alternation of recitative and aria styles from segment to segment, has produced a poignant setting of this Old Testament prophecy of doom. Particularly impressive are the desolate opening, the sighing Ciacona for bass, Man hrets wohl [Well dost thou hear] (because of the Italianate technique, just as in Buxtehude accompanied only by two violins and continuo), and the closing segment: here the two voices join together in a compelling cry for help (Ach Herr, siehe an mein Elend) [Ah Lord, behold Thou my wretchedness]. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe organist Christian Ritter (1645\/8-1717\/25) was of Saxon origin and probably received his education in Dresden as a student of Schtz and other teachers. Later he worked alternately in Stockholm, Dresden, and Hamburg. His 22 surviving vocal works are of high quality and diversity - yet another example of organists music. Both in Stockholm and Dresden he attained the rank of assistant leader of court music. Cantatas, particularly those by Buxtehude and other North German composers, were familiar and beloved in the Swedish capital, while in Dresden, after the death of Schtz, the Italian style ruled the day. O amantissime sponse Jesu, a Latin devotional text, has the rhythmic power and vocal refinement (particularly in the recitatives) of the best Italian church music of the period, but the heavy five-part string accompaniment and the innovative dissonance of the harmonies are both unmistakably North German - nowhere as clearly as in the tension-filled opening, where the soprano declaims the motto of this cantata, surrounded by rich harmonies. The score, preserved in the Berlin library, was already published in a modern edition at the beginning of the 20th century, and in 1959 in the Netherlands, a famous, widely distributed recording of the piece was made by the singer Aafje Heynis, conducted by Anthon van der Horst - who was for more than 30 years the artistic director of The Netherlands Bach Society.

This is where the Second Symphony was created. It had its highly successful premiere in the Marinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg in January of 1908. Like his other symphonies, the work begins with a motto-like theme reminiscent of Russian Orthodox liturgical music. Out of this a long-spun, mournful melody develops and serves as a constant motive throughout the first movement. The second movement is a lively scherzo, but there is a hint of menace in the horns introductory Dies Irae motive. Half way through the movement, the dizzying fugato is momentarily silenced for an episode of passionate romanticism. The Adagio is the most famous movement, and the most consistently described with superlatives. It is a miracle of melodic invention. The beautiful clarinet melody seems endless and appears to grope forward in a kind of trance, searching for words to express its love. Is it entirely fortuitous that the atmosphere is that of the love scene in Rachmaninovs opera, \"Francesca da Rimini\"? The Finales mood is stormy and once again brings forward all the previous themes, but this time arranged in new constellations, leading to an effective conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738302525764,"sku":"21604-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738302558532,"sku":"21604-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738302591300,"sku":"21604-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738302624068,"sku":"21604-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738302656836,"sku":"21604-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738302689604,"sku":"21604-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57307777728836,"sku":"21604-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334323904836,"sku":"21604S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334323937604,"sku":"21604S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334323970372,"sku":"21604S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/21604-14.jpg?v=1790114498"},{"product_id":"24307-lesprit-galant","title":"L'Esprit Galant","description":"\u003cp\u003eL’Esprit Galant (Airs by) Boësset, Lambert, Le Camus, and Charpentier Pièces de théorbe by Gautier, Pinel, Hotman, and De Visée. The short and succinct Air sérieux experienced a great flowering in the second half of the 17th century. The audiences of the time loved variety and novelty, in the theatre, the dance, and in music as well. The poetry on which the Air sérieux was based bore the general name of galanterie. ‘Delicate’, ‘cheerful’, ‘sweet’, and ‘light-footed’ (1) were the words associated with galant poets around 1670. The music was similarly referred to: Un air doux et galant En parlant, trouve souvent L’heureux secret de plaire (Jean Sicard, 1679) (2) The characteristics described above, however, apply not only to the text and music, but to the performing style as well. The importance of diction in singing is an important topic in Bénigne de Bacilly’s ‘Remarques curieuses sur l’art de bien chanter’ (1668): he devotes no fewer than 186 pages to the subject. The language used in singing is different than that used in speaking. In order to be expressive, a singer, according to Bacilly, cannot neglect a single syllable. Bacilly uses the term style galant when he speaks of the relationship between expression and lightness. To illustrate this, he makes reference, among others, to the Airs of Michel Lambert, the most important composer of the Air sérieux at that time. Lambert’s Airs, some 330 of them, formed the core of the précieux literary Salons in Paris, inseparably associated with the Esprit Galant which set the tone there. He dedicated the Airs and Doubles (decorated second verses) in his first collection (1660) to Pierre de Niert, ‘Premier valet de Chambre du Roy’, in homage to the latter’s gifts as a singer. Niert owed his belle manière de chanter to a stay in Rome in 1663. The art of singing, as practised in Rome (cf. our CD Splendore di Roma, CCS SA 19903), greatly inspired both Niert and, at a later date, Lambert. Unfortunately, none of Niert’s compositions has survived. Lambert was undoubtedly familiar with the Airs de Cour of Antoine Boësset, a contemporary of De Niert’s, and Louis XIII’s Sur intendant de la Musique. Boësset was fond of the familiar Italian technique of emphasizing the emotional content of certain words by the use of affekt-laden intervals. In 1640, ‘Me veux-tu voir mourir’ won a competition between the rational and the instinctive methods, as applied to the composition of the most expressive possible Air. The ‘Jury’ included the Dutch poet and musician Constantijn Huygens and the French scholar Marin Mersenne, who wrote about Boësset: ‘...ses airs ont je ne sçay quoi de grand et d’heroïque...’ (1640 (3)...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738312585540,"sku":"24307-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738312618308,"sku":"24307-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738312651076,"sku":"24307-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738312683844,"sku":"24307-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738312716612,"sku":"24307-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57307784446276,"sku":"24307-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334337208644,"sku":"24307S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334337241412,"sku":"24307S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334337274180,"sku":"24307S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/24307-2.jpg?v=1790427090"},{"product_id":"24409-dvorak-haas-schulhoff-the-bohemian-album","title":"Dvorak, Haas, Schulhoff - The Bohemian Album","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bohemian AlbumAmsterdam Sinfonietta has combined aromantic masterpiece of the string orchestrarepertoire with two wild compositions from theinter-war period.

And so I thought that it would be a good idea to give the eighth and last CD in this series a pronounced culinary atmosphere. We open with Quatre Hors d'Oeuvres (Four appetizers), four musical odes devoted in succession to Les Radis (Radishes), Les Anchois (Anchovies), Les Cornichons (Pickles) and Le Beurre (Butter). Then we abandon the table and proceed to the Prlude for piano solo from Musique Anodine (Blameless Music). Musique Anodine consists of the Prlude and the six following songs for voice and piano. The group is dedicated to Rossini's wife in thanks for her support after a long illness. Anodine, in this case, could also be understood as 'soothing'. Then come some calisthenics for singers in the form of Ritournelle Gothique (Gothic Refrain) Encore un peu de Blague (A little more Silliness), and Tourniquet sur la Gamme Chromatique, Ascendante et Descendante (Chromatic Merry-go-round, Rising and Falling). Rossini, in fact, dedicated this last piece to his friend Auguste Panseron, composer and singing teacher at the Paris Conservatory. After this harmonic exercise, we celebrate enthusiastically in Une Rjouissance (a Party), we take a gondola ride in Canzonetta: la Venitienne (Venetian song), and take a walk through all the different keys in (the environs of) Paris in Petite Promenade de Passy Courbevoie (A little walk from Passy to Courbevoie). At last we go back to the table to be served a dessert consisting of Quatre Mendiants (Four Mendicant Orders). This somewhat austere dessert, still served nowadays, consists of four ingredients, each of which represents a religious order because of its color which is like that of the respective order's habit.

Particularly during the Baroque period, these poetic, sensual, vividly descriptive texts were set over and over again to music, and they inspired librettists to expand on the original texts.

Elgar's early life as a composer was one of constantly importuning publishers to take small pieces - a situation that gradually changed in the 1890s as his early works for chorus and orchestra appeared. But it took Elgar a long time to become established, the Enigma Variations only appearing when he was 41. It is doubly interesting then to encounter so early a song as his setting of Edmund Waller, The Self-Banished, which dated from 1875 when he was just 18. It, of course, remained unpublished and unknown until recently when it was printed in the Elgar Collected Edition. In the present selection of Elgar's songs we move on a dozen years for something more familiar, when the thirty-year old Elgar set Queen Marys Song, words by Tennyson. Written in June and July 1887 it was accepted by the London publishers Osborn \u0026amp; Tuckwood and revised for publication in 1889. It later became familiar when included by Elgar in the volume of Seven Lieder which the now celebrated composer published in 1907. In The Wind at Dawn the 30 year-old Elgar set words written by his future wife, (C. Alice Roberts it says on the printed copies), about a year before they were married. Alice was already a published poet and novelist, if a minor one. It was the first time he had set Alices verse. However, the musics tremendous character and impact was not fully revealed until he orchestrated it, in his most sumptuous mature manner, in July 1912.

Elgar’s early life as a composer was one of constantly hawking salon music and popular short pieces round publishers – a situation that gradually changed in the 1890s as his early works for chorus and orchestra were heard. But it took Elgar a long time to become established, the Enigma Variations only appearing when he was 41. The earliest song presented here, indeed Elgar’s earliest surviving completed work, a setting of the American James Gates Percival’s The Language of Flowers dates from May 1872 when he was not quite 15. He dedicated it to his sister Lucy on her twentieth birthday. It remained unpublished and unknown until recently when it was printed in the Elgar Collected Edition. In the 1880s, in his late-twenties, Elgar tried to establish himself as a composer with various short pieces, salon music and songs which as we have seen he took round the many London publishers of the day. A Soldier’s Song, styled as ‘Op 5’ dates from 1884 and although it was sung at the Worcester Glee Club in March that year it had to wait for publication until 1890 when it appeared in The Magazine of Music – and 1903, when renamed A War Song, Boosey took it on, doubtless with the public’s preoccupation with the Boer War in mind. Another American, Colonel John Hay provided the words for Through the Long Days, which dated ‘Gigglewycke (his friend Charles William Buck’s Yorkshire home) on 10 Aug 1885 was sung in London at a St James’s Hall ballad concert in February 1887 and, being short and tuneful was published almost immediately by Stanley Lucas, Weber \u0026amp; Co. Elgar generally set lesser-known or minor verse doubtless feeling that great poetry should stand on its own and not constrain him in his response. In this case the words were of immediate emotional resonance for Elgar, since, written in August 1885, they herald his lost fiancé Helen Weaver’s planned departure for New Zealand two months later. Is She Not Passing Fair? to words by Charles, Duc d’Orléans translated by Louisa Stuart Costello is dated 28 Oct 1886 and although not published until 1908 is perhaps the bestknown of our group thus far. Elgar had just met his future wife Alice Roberts and we must wonder if he was celebrating it in music. The ballad As I Laye a-thynkynge is another early publishing success, dated 12 June 1887 and issued by John Beare \u0026amp; Son the following year. As a Victorian, Elgar shared the period’s love of the pseudo medieval which saw so much of academe and religion decked out in the trappings of a reinvented past.

The powerful emotions connected with this event were a stimulus to Schumann's creative impulses, for he was a Romantic through and through. It was at this time that he composed the deeply personal Davidsbndlertnze -18 dances inspired by the imaginary league of David. This fellowship, invented by Schumann, consisted of Schumann's own alter egos, plus a number of well-respected musicians and friends including Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. The group was established as a way of fighting against the Philistines; it was Schumann's response to contemporary musical trends which he saw as cheap, excessively virtuosic, and superficial. Two of the Davidsbndler, Schumann's alter egos Florestan and Eusebius, occupy a central place in all of the composer's works. Florestan, is extroverted, lively, and wild; Eusebius is intimate, gentle, and shy. The tensions between these two extremes also provides a narrative thread for the Davidsbndlertnze. Schumann placed the signature of one character or the other at the end of each of the eighteen dances; some are even signed by both characters. At the end of the cycle, the second dance, one of Eusebius's melodies, returns, only to be cruelly interrupted by Florestan. But Eusebius, nevertheless, has the last word. Over the last dance, Schumann wrote Ganz zum berflu meinte Eusebius noch folgendes; dabei sprach aber viel Seligkeit au seinen Augen. [Eusebius expressed the following opinion, quite unnecessarily; but at the time, great happiness spoke from his eyes. In 1838, a year after the Davidsbndlertnze, Schumann composed the Arabeske. Peaceful, equable and timeless are words befitting this little composition, meant to be a delicate ornament. The Arabesque, as a musical form, was later used by other compoers, such as Debussy and Reger, in an expression of admiration for Schumann.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738542321988,"sku":"28709-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738542354756,"sku":"28709-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738542387524,"sku":"28709-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738542420292,"sku":"28709-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738542453060,"sku":"28709-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57307822260548,"sku":"28709-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334399402308,"sku":"28709S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334399435076,"sku":"28709S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334399467844,"sku":"28709S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/28709.jpg?v=1790116908"},{"product_id":"30710-beethoven-symphonies-no-46","title":"Beethoven - Symphonies no. 4,6","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo fundamentally different symphonies: both works explore feelings from an entirely different point of view.

The Sixth is about feelings that nature awakens in us: calmness, meditation, thankfulness.It has been an especially creative process to work on these masterpieces. We discovered that the Fourth Symphony sounds better with natural horns and trumpets. In the Pastorale we used a different seating arrangement, with the winds  scattered among the strings, so that each soloist was surrounded by musicians playing the flow of Beethoven's nature music. After the storm, when we hear the first tentative horn call with a bagpipe-like accompaniment, suggesting signals across the mountains,  we found it appropriate to answer with a solo violin, which is gradually joined by the whole orchestra.

But did Fauré, as director of the Paris Conservatory, simply have no option than to write, because a compulsory solo piece was required for the harp class examinations? Was the marine officer Roussel influenced by his travels to distant shores? And were the fantasias by Saint-Saëns inspired by his great love of the Arab world? We can sometimes only guess. What we do know is that the harp has always appealed to the imagination, and that both fantasies and impromptus have inspired many composers to give free rein to their creative powers.

Music styles from all corners of the world were blowing across the European continent, taking root as folk dances, blues rhythms and exotic melodies in the hearts of classically trained musicians. How very similar to our own situation! We were formed by Beethoven and Schubert, but with American colleagues, Indonesian forefathers and pop and jazz musicians as close friends our musical world was equally determined by Radiohead, Brad Mehldau and Indonesian gamelan. Bartók and Ravel show us how traditional craftsmanship can be combined with the sounds of other cultures. In their music we can give full rein to our craft, the flame of our ensemble playing and our love for our instruments. At the same time, we recognize in it the groove, the catch in the voice and the raw expression, which captivate us beyond the concert hall. All these elements are brought together in masterly fashion. And so this CD is not only a homage to Ravel and Bartók, but also to the unbounded world of music, in which we both feel free and happy.

The richness of verbal language pointed the way to new modes of expression. Monody played a central role in this development: in essence, it consisted of a single singing voice accompanied by the new style of ‘basso continuo’. The text was supported and followed word by word, making use of the ‘affetti’, a new freedom in the treatment of dissonance as well as sharply contrasting melodic and rhythmic treatments. Of course, any number of new musical forms and genres also developed, one of which was the dialogue - a genre which has repeatedly been given attention by Cappella Figuralis in recent years - and its more expansive version, the oratorio. A dialogue can best be described as a sung conversation, in which each of the persons taking part is represented by a single voice, and a group by a vocal ensemble. In addition, the ‘cast’ sometimes includes a narrator, whose part can be either single-voiced or many-voiced.

His works are still beloved listening for vast numbers of enthusiasts today. Rare is the music student who has not at some time performed his music or played his suites and partitas on the violin, cello, flute, saxophone, accordion, organ or piano. There seems to be no end to the stream of performances and recordings - and for good reason: his music remains a potent source of inspiration.\r\n\r\nBach has also proved an inexhaustible source of inspiration for composers. Although he was the target of considerable criticism in his day, and his works were rarely if ever performed in the years immediately after his death, his standing among colleagues was undisputed. In particular Das Wohltemperierte Klavier (The Well-tempered Keyboard) was considered a virtual handbook for composers. Haydn was familiar with the collection, Mozart transcribed portions of it for string quartet, Beethoven was taught from it, and Chopin used the music to warm up before concert performances.\r\n\r\nBach’s vocal compositions did not have a commensurate reputation. But after Mendelssohn organized a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829, it proved to be the start of a genuine Bach revival for wider audiences. In the following years, both Schumann and Liszt became passionate advocates for Bach’s music. Liszt, as a touring piano virtuoso, aroused wild enthusiasm with his own arrangements of several of Bach’s major organ compositions.

Expressions such as musical idiom, musical intonation, are not simply metaphors. But music is not identical with language. The resemblance points to something essential, but vague.” These words were written by Theodor W. Adorno, one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century – as well as a respectable composer. He goes on: “The resemblance to language extends from the whole work, the organized linking of significant sounds, right down to the single sound, the note as the threshold of merest presence, the pure vehicle of expression. The analogy goes beyond the organized connection of sounds and extends materially to the structures. The traditional theory of form employs such terms as sentence, phrase, segment, ways of punctuating - question, exclamation and parenthesis. Subordinate phrases are ubiquitous, voices rise and fall, and all these terms of musical gesture are derived from speech.” What follows constitutes our focus: “[Music] makes use of recurring ciphers. These were established by tonality. If tonality does not quite generate concepts, it may at least be said to create lexical items. […] Their unchanging identity has become sedimented like a second nature. This is why consciousness finds it so hard to bid farewell to tonality.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdorno’s words help us understand the conceptual framework for the musical phenomenon in Austro-German culture. They also make us see that, just like linguists consider language a living organism undergoing a continuous process of change, composers deal with their own ‘musical language’ in a similar manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen someone mentions Arnold Schönberg’s name, people tend to react defensively, irately or untrustingly. Many professional musicians and programmers, as well as the average music lover, share a deeply entrenched prejudice with regard to Schönberg. Below his name, we find music made up of strange, unintelligible and difficult sounds shaping compositions which are often considered inaccessible, unnecessary and, sometimes without reserve, simply ugly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the backdrop of the crisis that musical language experienced at the dawn of the 20th century, when chromatism progressively overtook the tonal system, not many proposals were as illjudged as Arnold Schönberg’s. His new path was (and still is) perceived as a terribly radical breakthrough, though it simply aimed at providing an honest, unaffected answer to the Classical and Romantic heritage, both formally and conceptually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchönberg and his two leading disciples, Anton Webern and Alban Berg, began writing strictly tonal music. While they evolved as composers in the intellectually and aesthetically stimulating context of early 20th-century Vienna, the three realised that the principles of clarity and unity, considered the unchanging fundamentals of musical expression, could only be maintained and guaranteed by delving into the path initiated by Bach, that is, the progressive substitution of tonality and the two modes, Major and minor, by a superior mode. Departing from a deep analysis and an exhaustive knowledge of the evolution of the linguistic system, which had influenced musical creativity in Europe from the Renaissance up until 1900, Schönberg and his disciples continued developing their composing technique until they concluded that chromatism had conquered the tonal language, thus condemning it to its definitive death or its necessary transformation into a different system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_2QdEIVLp3c","brand":"Cobra Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738595144004,"sku":"COBRA0037-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738595176772,"sku":"COBRA0037-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738595209540,"sku":"COBRA0037-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738595242308,"sku":"COBRA0037-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738595275076,"sku":"COBRA0037-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57307943567684,"sku":"COBRA0037-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334513271108,"sku":"COBRA0037S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334513303876,"sku":"COBRA0037S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334513336644,"sku":"COBRA0037S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/COBRA0037.jpg?v=1790121002"},{"product_id":"hmu907326-american-angels","title":"American Angels","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican Angels is the diary of our journey to the roots of Anglo- American spiritual vocal music. It includes songs of redemption and glory spanning the years from the American Revolution to the present day: eighteenth-century psalm settings and fuging tunes from rural New England, nineteenth-century folk hymns and camp revival songs from the rural South, and gospel songs originating in Northeastern cities and adopted in the late nineteenth century by rural Southerners. Each of these musical styles has played its own part in an interweaving of oral and written traditions, in which favorite older tunes have survived and flourished from one generation to the next. We love the fact that these tunes have been treasured by so many others before us. They have been printed again and again in the tunebooks, and imprinted on the memories of generation after generation of singers, who continue to sing them at singing conventions, in worship services, and in many other settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of the rural American sacred music featured in American Angels opens with the attempts of certain eighteenth-century colonists to “improve” upon the lining out of psalms. In this practice—the main musical worship practice in the Colonies at the time— a deacon read out a line of text, the congregation responded by singing it, the deacon read out another line of text, and so on. How did those in favor of replacing the “old way of singing” with “regular singing” accomplish their goal? With the introduction of the singing school, where students practiced singing the octave scale with European solmization syllables, ??fa-sol-la-fa-sol-la-mi-fa, and learned to sing music composed in three and four parts. The singing school acted as a primary means of teaching and disseminating music in New England during the eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe musical settings of psalms and hymns taught in the earliest singing schools and published in the first colonial American tunebooks were imported from England. But by the late eighteenth century, New England tunesmiths—singing school masters who had themselves attended the singing schools—had started to make their own contributions. Many of them compiled their own tunebooks, which they sold to singing school students in each town they visited. They were at first greatly influenced by the English composers of their day, but soon the sound of their compositions began to reflect their rural American origins. Most frequently taking their texts from the English poet Isaac Watts, the New Englanders wrote pieces intended both for worship and for artistic expression. They favored among other styles four-part homophonic settings of psalms, such as Poland and Amanda, and fuging tunes featuring both homophonic and imitative sections, such as Blooming Vale. In both forms, the tenor line holds the tune, but the other three voices carry equally strong, independent, melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"harmonia mundi","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738602189124,"sku":"HMU907326-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738602221892,"sku":"HMU907326-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738602254660,"sku":"HMU907326-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738602287428,"sku":"HMU907326-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738602320196,"sku":"HMU907326-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57307961229636,"sku":"HMU907326-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334519103812,"sku":"HMU907326S1417","price":32.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334519136580,"sku":"HMU907326S69","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334519169348,"sku":"HMU907326S710","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/HMU907326-1.jpg?v=1790121639"},{"product_id":"hmu907441-gershwin","title":"Gershwin","description":"\u003cp\u003eGershwin’s music really is hard to label. With a creative range that won him successes both on Broadway and in Carnegie Hall, it could scarcely be otherwise for this pioneer “crossover” artist. But why try to pigeonhole such brilliance? Better simply to enjoy it’ His parents, Moshe Gershovitz and Rose Bruskin, emigrated separately from Russia to America in the 1890s.They married in 1895 and settled in New York’s tough Lower East Side neighborhood. They had four children: sons Ira, George and Arthur, and a daughter, Frances. Father ran a Turkish bath. Ira dabbled in writing song lyrics while helping out with the customers, sowing the seeds of his long, marvellous partnership with his kid-brother composer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge was a vigorous, active child, playing street hockey and roller-skating through the area. He had little interest in schooling. There was hardly any music in the household until a piano arrived in 1910. Intended primarily for Ira, it was George who was drawn to it most strongly. If it hadn’t appealed to him, he might have followed many of his friends’ paths and become a gangster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of his piano teachers gave him Chopin, Liszt and Debussy to play, inspiring an early ambition to become a concert pianist. But the family’s need for money led him to drop out of high school at 15. He got a job as a song ‘plugger’ in the retail department of Jerome H. Remick \u0026amp; Co., one of several major popular music publishers located in Tin Pan Alley. His job was to sell their songs by playing and singing them for performers. That was how he met and befriended Fred Astaire, destined to be one of his greatest interpreters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe gradually broke into the pop song market he had come to know so well from the inside. The first of his songs to see print appeared in 1916. It bore the memorable title When You Want ’Em, You Can’t Get ’Em, When You’ve Got ’Em, You Don’t Want ’Em. He had to start somewhere! By the early ’20s, he was earning a healthy income from his own material. For several years he had also been taking private instruction in classical techniques. Sooner or later these two streams were bound to merge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premiere of Rhapsody in Blue took place as planned on February 12, 1924, in New York’s Aeolian Hall. Gershwin himself played the solo part. It came at the end of a long, varied program, but it was still received with overwhelming enthusiasm. This irresistible blend of ’20s jazz and daredevil classical virtuosity remains one of the most beloved and frequently performed of all American compositions. Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, was in the audience when Gershwin’s rhapsody made its debut. Impressed by its unprecedented amalgamation of popular and classical styles, he commissioned Gershwin to compose a full-scale piano concerto. “Many persons had thought that my rhapsody was only a happy accident,” Gershwin wrote. “Well I went out, for one thing, to show them that there was plenty more where that came from. I made up my mind to do a piece of ‘absolute’ music. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"harmonia mundi","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738606940484,"sku":"HMU907441-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738606973252,"sku":"HMU907441-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738607006020,"sku":"HMU907441-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738607038788,"sku":"HMU907441-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738607071556,"sku":"HMU907441-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57307971289412,"sku":"HMU907441-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334520709444,"sku":"HMU907441S1417","price":32.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334520742212,"sku":"HMU907441S69","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334520774980,"sku":"HMU907441S710","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/Gershwin-Cover-No-Logo.jpg?v=1790438524"},{"product_id":"hmu907461-62-bach-brandenburg-concertos","title":"Bach -  Brandenburg Concertos","description":"\u003cp\u003eBach’s Brandenburg Concertos, like his ‘goldberg’ Variations, have become one of the most famous and popular collections of instrumental music. they are perhaps rivalled only by the first third of Vivaldi’s op.8, The Four Seasons. At the date of writing these notes, having entered ‘Bach Brandenburg concertos’ into a particular e-store’s search engine,?I was offered 463 ‘hits’. over the last fifty years, (since thurston dart’s 1954 recording, and Harnoncourt’s ‘first’ 1964 period- instrument recording) the desire to present the Brandenburgs in a newer, better and more historically ‘correct’ manner has increased rapidly.

But now that, between concerts, I am often back in China, I have had time to properly prepare this great music, to sift through songs and make good selections.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel of China","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738613690692,"sku":"80908-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738613723460,"sku":"80908-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738613756228,"sku":"80908-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738613788996,"sku":"80908-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738613821764,"sku":"80908-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308000059716,"sku":"80908-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334527361348,"sku":"80908S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334527394116,"sku":"80908S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334527426884,"sku":"80908S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/80908-1.jpg?v=1790122523"},{"product_id":"hmu907400-gloryland","title":"Gloryland","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith this recording, the members of Anonymous 4 celebrate our long journey together.

Their narrators equate the soul with\u003cbr\u003eNoah’s weary dove, who soars the earth seeking a resting place; they wish for wings, to be a tiny swallow, to fly to the next world on eagles’ wings; or they yearn to gather with loved ones at the river and to find green pastures beyond the banks of that shining shore.\u003cbr\u003eMost of these songs have themselves been traveling for a very long time, in a wonderful intertwining of oral and written traditions that has flourished for many generations. Which of them were newly composed and which were taken down from someone’s singing or playing and then arranged cannot always be determined, but songs like Ecstasy and Saint’s Delight sound equally at home whether sung in their shape-note settings or played on the fiddle, guitar, and\u003cbr\u003emandolin.\u003cbr\u003eThe elements of Anglo-American song take part in an endless game of mix and match: dance airs are set to sacred words; worldly and spiritual texts share the same musical notes; and hymns that we associate with certain much-loved tunes can also be sung to other melodies. The tune most commonly known as Wayfaring Stranger occurs several times: it appears first with the religious ballad text, “I am a poor wayfaring stranger,” again in the lyric folk song You Fair and Pretty Ladies, in the haunting folk hymn Parting Friends, and finally in a bluesy instrumental rendition. Meanwhile, gospel song composer Robert Lowry’s familiar text “Shall we gather at the river” (which we sang to Lowry’s famous gospel tune Shall We Gather at the River, on American Angels) has migrated to the Southern hymn tune Palmetto; and John\u003cbr\u003eNewton’s poem “Saviour, visit Thy plantation” has attached itself to two different tunes: Return Again and Merrick.

That was the question I was struggling with before the idea of Krossover – Opera Revisited struck me as a bolt of lightning. Once upon a time the music that we now label as ‘classical’ was the popular music of the day. Mozart didn’t refrain from sneaking in a widely known folk tune in his compositions and at least a handful of Handel’s masterpieces had been written with the idea in mind of attracting large audiences. \u003cbr\u003eIt was only in the second half of the 20th century that the so called contemporary music became so abstract that the connection with the general public got lost along the way. In my mind this contemporary form of classical music aims at tickling the intellect, and most certainly not the heart and soul of the listener. During my career as a singer I’ve experienced that audiences, more often than not, still love a beautiful melody. Time and time again I was asked to sing the Habanera from George Bizet’s popular opera Carmen. That tune has more or less become my signature song. With that melody I really touched people, but for me it isn’t really a challenge to keep on doing this for the rest of my life. What to do? Record an album with famous opera arias? Why bother: the world’s best and most renowned singers have already released hundreds of these ‘opera hits’ albums. I considered it useless to add my contribution the list. And why go searching for obscure or forgotten opera gems when a singer like Cecilia Bartoli, to much acclaim, has already done so. No, I really had to come up with a better idea. An idea that would bring classical music back to where it belongs: in the warm hands of the people who love good music. Wouldn’t it be great to create a cultural environment in which going to the opera would be an understandable alternative to a new James Bond movie?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Challenge Classics","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738630861124,"sku":"CC72613-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738630893892,"sku":"CC72613-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738630926660,"sku":"CC72613-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738630959428,"sku":"CC72613-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738630992196,"sku":"CC72613-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308072804676,"sku":"CC72613-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334553739588,"sku":"CC72613S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334553772356,"sku":"CC72613S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334553805124,"sku":"CC72613S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/CC72613.jpg?v=1790440581"},{"product_id":"cc72639-la-captive","title":"La captive","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you ever heard of Jean-Baptiste Guirod, Giullaume Ross-Despréaux or Eugène Prévost? Apart from Prévost, perhaps, they have mostly been consigned to the depths of oblivion. But these were composers who won the coveted Prix de Rome, an award that had been instituted by Napoleon himself in 1803, in the period from 1827 to 1829. And in doing so, they whipped the prize right out from under the nose of Berlioz, who had competed for it just as often as they had. It might offer Berlioz some – posthumous – solace to know that he was in excellent company; Ravel, Debussy and Bizet were also to be denied the prize. The judging system for the prize, which offered little scope for groundbreaking composers, has come in for severe criticism over the years. In the words of Edgar Varèse, the prize ‘produced so much insipid fruit that nowadays we can barely even remember their names’. It was Berlioz himself, in his highly readable and entertaining autobiography, who explained all about the prize’s requirements and what the prize itself involved. The winner received an allowance for five years, but this was on condition that he would spend the first two years at the Académie de France in Rome, use the third year for travelling through Germany and survive the remaining two years ‘doing what he could to promote himself and avoid dying from hunger’ in Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore winning the prize in 1830 with the fairly scholastic cantata La mort de Sardanapale, Berlioz had already submitted attempts in the form of La mort d’Orphée (1827), Herminie (1828) and La mort de Cléopâtre (1829). In 1827, his Mort d’Orphée had been condemned as unplayable by the pianist who had to perform the piano reduction – one of the jury’s requirements. Berlioz seems to have been slightly more successful in the following year: the piano version of Herminie was admittedly playable, but the work was outstripped by the submission made by Ross-Despréaux and only came second. The cantata Herminie would survive, however, not least because Berlioz derived the idée fixe from his Symphonie Fantastique from the work. The cantata, to a text by Pierre-Ange Vieillard, was inspired by Tasso’s ‘Gerusalemme liberata’. This was an epic set during the Crusades, recounting the tale of the Christian knight Tancredi and his love for the Muslim warrior Clorinda. In the passage set by Berlioz, the central figure is Princess Erminia of Antioch, who was also in love with Tancredi. She leaves Jerusalem – dressed in Clorinda’s armour – to aid Tancredi, who has been wounded following a duel with the Muslim knight Argantes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Challenge Classics","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738631844164,"sku":"CC72639-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738631876932,"sku":"CC72639-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738631909700,"sku":"CC72639-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738631942468,"sku":"CC72639-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738631975236,"sku":"CC72639-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57308076147012,"sku":"CC72639-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334557344068,"sku":"CC72639S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334557376836,"sku":"CC72639S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334557409604,"sku":"CC72639S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/CC72639.jpg?v=1790123580"},{"product_id":"cobra0025-antonin-dvorak","title":"Antonin Dvorak","description":"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonin Dvorak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e features Dvorák's Piano Trios in F minor (opus 65) and E minor (opus 90) performed by \u003cstrong\u003eThe Osiris Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e. The trio was formed in 1988. Since then, the trio has toured five continents and was twice given the honor to accompany Her Majesty The Queen of The Netherlands on an official state visit abroad. Over the past 19 years, the group has won a number of Dutch awards, including the ‘Philip Morris Finest Selection’ award and the Annie Bosboom Prijs.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eAntonin Dvorák is considered to be the most significant Czech composer of the nineteenth century, although he was certainly not the only prominent composer of that period from that area of Europe. Bedrich Smetana and Zdenek Fibich also enjoyed a great reputation. Nonetheless, Dvorák’s fame soon became unparalleled, in the first place probably because his music is such a successful synthesis of Czech - or, more accurately, Bohemian - folk music and Western techniques. And no doubt also because Dvorák was such a ‘natural’ composer: his music sounds so self-evident, so natural, music such as in Western Europe only Schubert was known for. It was precisely this aspect of Dvorák’s art of which Brahms was rightly jealous.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eOn the other hand, Dvorak had such huge admiration for his older German- Viennese colleague, who had helped him so much and had even organized the first publication of his first volume of Slavonic Dances, that in his 7th Symphony, for example, he quoted a melody from Brahms’ 2nd Piano Concerto. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIn terms of form Dvorák’s music does indeed belong totally within the Western tradition: we can draw a straight line from Mozart to him, via Schubert and Brahms, Schubert being the most important composer of songs and folksong-like melodies, and Brahms being above all the master builder, the direct heir of Beethoven. And yet neither of these possessed that special quality which made Dvorak so unique, namely the ability to write totally natural melodies, which at one and the same time, and in all modesty, were capable of accompanying another melody, but also, just as easily and entirely independently, of producing amazing contrapuntal constructions, and, on top of all that, of inviting everyone to dance. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eBrahms once remarked with some envy that he wished he could even write a tune such as Dvorak could write just for an accompanying voice... Ultimately Dvorak was a particularly engaging man, for whom human relations, love of friends and colleagues, loyalty and intense emotions were central to everything he did and didn’t do. In that respect he was much more gregarious than ‘the hedgehog’ Brahms. In their mutual friendship Dvorak enjoyed the fact that in his presence Brahms was more cheerful and relaxed than otherwise. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIn a letter to Simrock in 1883 he wrote that, when Brahms was in such a good mood, he could definitely love him; he is pleased with the role that he can fulfil in that way for Brahms.

In 1790 Haydn was generally considered the most famous composer of his age, but the relative obscurity of his operas in comparison with his other works today was also the case in the 18th century. How is it possible that Haydn’s operas are still relatively unknown, despite a remark Empress Maria Theresia expressed upon hearing Haydn’s L’ Infeldelta Delusa in 1773; “If I want to hear good opera, I am going to Esterhaza!” \u003cbr\u003eBetween 1761 and 1790 Haydn was in the employment of Prince Paul von Esterhazy and his son and successor Prince Nikolaus, both  passionate music lovers. From 1766 onwards, Haydn wrote, in addition to composing chamber music and symphonies, four Italian comedies, six German Singspiele and numerous Italian operas for his employers of the Esterhazy dynasty. Furthermore he also supervised all musical activities at the court including yearly performances of more than 150 operas, many composed by his contemporaries. As Kapellmeister Haydn was not only responsible for musical direction of the operas but also for staging, contracting the singers and occasionally writing an extra aria as required, like the aria “Quando la rosa”. This aria was included in the performance of Guiseppe Anfossi’s opera La Metilde Ritrovata (1773).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Challenge Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738657927492,"sku":"CC72622-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738657960260,"sku":"CC72622-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738657993028,"sku":"CC72622-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738658025796,"sku":"CC72622-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738658058564,"sku":"CC72622-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308185362756,"sku":"CC72622-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334605414724,"sku":"CC72622S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334605447492,"sku":"CC72622S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334605480260,"sku":"CC72622S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/CC72622_2f7759d4-9267-410f-80c3-d18a4bce574d.jpg?v=1790126204"},{"product_id":"cc72324-between-life-and-death-songs-and-arias","title":"Between life and death - songs and arias","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe protagonist of the new album by Christoph Prégardien and Michael Gees has not yet arrived on the scene at the start and is awaited with the greatest yearning. “Come sweet death! Come blessed rest! Come, lead me in peace, for I am weary of the world, ah come!” Thus the opening of the aria from Bach’s Schemelli Liederbuch, which starts the programme “Between Life and Death”. Death not as the end but as the beginning of a better life – perhaps this message, filled with baroque certainty of salvation and unshakeable quietude, sounds as remote for us today as the afterlife itself. Christoph Prégardien frankly admits to admiring the people of Bach’s time somewhat for their trusting relationship to death: “Today death has been pushed out of our life almost completely, outlawed to the hospital ward and old people’s home. And this is the very reason we have compiled our programme: so that people become a little more aware that death is always in our midst. That we can’t ignore it, but have to accept it.” Death is in actual fact a close confidante, at least for Prégardien and Gees. It was so to speak their companion on their first Schubert album together “Abschied und Reise” (Songs of farewell and journey), also the Heine programme “Geliebte Schmerzen” (Beloved Pain). So it is scarcely any wonder that “Between Life and Death” also revolves around the Romantics: Schubert and Schumann, where in the end death is the sole remaining friend of the lonely human being, Brahms, where it quietly slips into the song idylls of late summer, and finally Mahler, where the no man’s land “between life and death” really does open up for all those souls who have become lost to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Challenge Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738665857348,"sku":"CC72324-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738665890116,"sku":"CC72324-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738665922884,"sku":"CC72324-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738665955652,"sku":"CC72324-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738665988420,"sku":"CC72324-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308218622276,"sku":"CC72324-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334610067780,"sku":"CC72324S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334610100548,"sku":"CC72324S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334610133316,"sku":"CC72324S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/CC72324.jpg?v=1790126905"},{"product_id":"cc72628-krossover-opera-revisited","title":"Krossover - opera revisited","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHow to reach the heart and soul of my own generation with classical music? That was the question I was struggling with before the idea of Krossover – Opera Revisited struck me as a bolt of lightning. Once upon a time the music that we now label as ‘classical’ was the popular music of the day. Mozart didn’t refrain from sneaking in a widely known folk tune in his compositions and at least a handful of Handel’s masterpieces had been written with the idea in mind of attracting large audiences. It was only in the second half of the 20th century that the so called contemporary music became so abstract that the connection with the general public got lost along the way. In my mind this contemporary form of classical music aims at tickling the intellect, and most certainly not the heart and soul of the listener. During my career as a singer I’ve experienced that audiences, more often than not, still love a beautiful melody. Time and time again I was asked to sing the Habanera from George Bizet’s popular opera Carmen. That tune has more or less become my signature song. With that melody I really touched people, but for me it isn’t really a challenge to keep on doing this for the rest of my life. What to do? Record an album with famous opera arias? Why bother: the world’s best and most renowned singers have already released hundreds of these ‘opera hits’ albums.\u003cbr\u003eI considered it useless to add my contribution the list. And why go searching for obscure or forgotten opera gems when a singer like Cecilia Bartoli, to much acclaim, has already done so. No, I really had to come up with a better idea. An idea that would bring classical music back to where it belongs: in the warm hands of the people who love good music. Wouldn’t it be great to create a cultural environment in which going to the opera would be an understandable alternative to a new James Bond movie?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Challenge Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738691744068,"sku":"CC72628-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738691776836,"sku":"CC72628-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738691809604,"sku":"CC72628-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738691842372,"sku":"CC72628-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738691875140,"sku":"CC72628-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308272492868,"sku":"CC72628-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334623961412,"sku":"CC72628S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334623994180,"sku":"CC72628S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334624026948,"sku":"CC72628S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/CC72628-1.jpg?v=1790128107"},{"product_id":"sachr70118-in-summer","title":"In Summer","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eImmediately\u003c\/span\u003e, as you listen to the first few bars of Gershwin's Embraceable You, you know that this album is very special.

Even though mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke has been recognized as a young superstar in concert and opera for many years now, it was as Kitty Oppenheimer in The Met’s 2008 production of John Adams’Doctor Atomic that I first heard her. Half way through her first act aria “Am I In Your Light?” I knew I wanted to work with her. Despite her ferociously busy schedule Sasha responded immediately with a “Yes!” to my suggestion we make her debut album. Since then we had the great pleasure to hear Sasha in Southern California in her debut performances with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Sasha won her first GRAMMY.

Earl Wild’s Virtuoso Etudes are transcriptions of some of the most beloved Gershwin songs of the early American theatre. These, along with Wild’s “Fantasy on Porgy and Bess,” and Gershwin’s own arrangement of “Rhapsody In Blue,” trace Gershwin’s evolution from a commercially successful song writer to a composer of serious intent who was quite conscious of his posterity.\u003cbr\u003eThe songs “I Got Rhythm” and “Embraceable You\" (from the 1930 show “Girl Crazy”), as well as “The Man I Love” and “Fascinating Rhythm” (written for “Lady Be Good” of 1924), were conceived for a musical theatre which had yet to achieve its current level of sophistication. There was no real relationship between the songs used and the narrative of the show (songs were, in fact, often used interchangeably). The American musical theatre as we know it today, a synthesis of music, dialogue and song (much like early German comic opera), was foreshadowed in Showboat, but really only came to maturity with the work of Rodgers and Hammerstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Rhapsody In Blue” (1924) and the opera Porgy and Bess (1935), on the other hand, were written for a concert audience by a self-conscious Gershwin who wanted to legitimize American music. Often doubting his own abilities, Gershwin, at one point, felt compelled to approach Maurice Ravel for lessons in “serious” composition. Instead, Gershwin received the famous reply:\u003cbr\u003e“Why would you want to be a second-rate Ravel\u003cbr\u003ewhen you are already a first-rate Gershwin?”\u003cbr\u003eGershwin’s larger purpose in these works was to establish the credibility of jazz (and hence his own credibility), as music worthy of the concert hall and opera house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Rhapsody In Blue” was conceived with the idea of correcting a misconception on the part of the American audience. While the word “jazz” implies to modern listeners a widely varied brand of music, in Gershwin’s day the name implied little more than syncopation. For the critics of jazz, this meant rhythmic monotony. It was Gershwin’s desire to demonstrate that jazz rhythms could be more flexible, as varied as those of concert music; the result has been a staple of the concert hall ever since.\u003cbr\u003eThe creation of Porgy and Bess took several years of planning and two years of active composition (as opposed to the three weeks which produced “Rhapsody In Blue”). Gershwin was now concerned with a wider variety of aesthetic questions: How to make jazz seem a natural musical language for opera singers? How to use a libretto which required a predominantly Black cast? How to avoid the strong emotional associations of Black spirituals? Use only original music (although cast in the form of hymns or spirituals)? What to do with the dialogue of the White characters? Have it spoken while the Black dialogue continues in musical recitative? Gershwin’s success with the difficult aesthetic questions was sufficient to eventually find his opera staged at La Scala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith both “Rhapsody In Blue” and Porgy and Bess now firmly established in the mainstream repertoire, Gershwin’s presence in the world of “Classical” music is now permanent. Still, the larger question remains — are these works “serious” compositions, or are they “popular” music in concert attire? While this question may be indicative of the confusion of the “post-modern” world. it seems doubly perplexing with the output of Gershwin. “Rhapsody In Blue\" has, after all, been accepted into “serious” concert repertoire because it is so “popular” with audiences. Is the song “Summertime” somehow a more “serious” work than the song “I Got Rhythm” because it was conceived as part of a full opera? Indeed, Porgy and Bess was criticized for being not a “true” opera, but rather a collection of songs (to which Gershwin replied: “so was Carmen”).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilson Audiophile Recordings","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738767995204,"sku":"Wilson9231-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738768027972,"sku":"Wilson9231-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308405367108,"sku":"Wilson9231-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/Wilson9231-1.jpg?v=1790132001"},{"product_id":"wilson9230-20th-century-masterpieces-for-cello-and-piano","title":"20th Century Masterpieces for Cello and Piano","description":"\u003cp\u003eGinastera (1916-1983) began private music lessons at age seven, and at the age of twelve attended the Williams Conservatory of Buenos Aires. In 1936 he entered the National Conservatory of Music, graduating two years later with highest honors in composition and a professor's diploma. Ginastera composed a number of large works during his years at the Conservatory, which he later destroyed. His first acknowledged compositions were the Danzas Argentinas for piano, and the ballet Panambi, based on a legend of the Guarany Indians of Northern Argentina, both composed in 1937. These first works reflect the nationalistic character of much of Ginastera's ouevre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1947, Ginastera composed the first of a group of three pieces under the generic title Pampeana.

In Pampeana No. 2, one can hear the immensity of the pampa in the dark, dense chordal sections, and the wild, lawless life of the gauchos (cowboys) in the dashing virtuosity of the cello cadenzas. These sections are juxtaposed with the mysterious and somber tranquility of the slow sections.

The piece is titled “Westminster Abbey” in tribute to the grand English cathedral, albeit we know it from its first performance in 1920 for its opening words in Latin. “\u003cem\u003eSing and make music to the glory of God!\u003c\/em\u003e” Organ, brass and woodwind, and choir, whose voices, in ever widening harmonies, grow into a jubilant crescendo, culminating in the eight-part Gloria (Glory)! “\u003cem\u003eLet everything that has breath praise the Lord!\u003c\/em\u003e”\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOscar's Motet Choir\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorsten Nilsson - Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlf Linder - Organ\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarianne Mellnas - Soprano\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"2xHD-Naxos","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738795553092,"sku":"812864019605-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738795585860,"sku":"812864019605-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738795618628,"sku":"812864019605-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738795651396,"sku":"812864019605-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738795684164,"sku":"812864019605-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738795716932,"sku":"812864019605-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738795749700,"sku":"812864019605-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308441936196,"sku":"812864019605-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/2XHDNA12118.jpg?v=1790452184"},{"product_id":"807549di-1865-songs-of-hope-and-home-from-the-american-civil-war","title":"1865- Songs of Hope and Home from the American Civil War","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1865 focuses on the personal experience of men, women, and children from the North and from the South, toward the end of the Civil War and in its immediate aftermath – as told in songs originally written for the stage and for the parlor, and in songs and instrumental tunes from the hills and back roads of America. Many of the songs in 1865 were published between 1861 and 1865; others first appeared in print earlier, but were sung constantly during the terrible war years, perhaps in an effort to bring to mind the familiar and the good.

Ensembles In 1 Bit [Pure DSD]","description":"On 8 Ensembles in 1 Bit, the debut release from Just Listen, Producers and Recording Engineers Jared Sacks (Channel Classics) and Daan van Aalst (Navis Classics) have pooled their extensive expertise in music production and recording in DSD audio. Their goal is to put together the best system for recording and reproducing music at the highest quality with recordings in the DSD 256 (quad rate DSD) format.\r\n\r\nThe album features performances in Swing Jazz, Vocals, World Music and Classical Music from artists including the Breno Viricimo Group, De Gebroeders, Harteveld and Fretz, Kobra Ensemble, New Amsterdam Voices, Odd Pearls, The Pipays, Thomas Baggerman and Eva Scholten and Vercammen \u0026amp; Roinishvilli.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Introduction From The Producers\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cem\u003e‘Recording in DSD’ is not a term that musicians are usually familiar with. In fact, none of the musicians we asked to participate in 8 Ensembles in 1 Bit had the slightest idea what it was at first! Surprisingly, without exception, all immediately said yes and were very keen to learn about it.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eEspecially on the recording days, March 4th and 5th, 2015, they soon learned what it’s like to record acoustically in DSD. “Hey, you, cellist, a little closer to the mics please” and “Could the saxophone player take two steps back and one to the right?”. With the microphones spread around above their heads and the prospect of no post recording mixing at all, the sound balancing had to be made right there and then at the recording session.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eOnce the musicians and engineers were happy with the balance, the recording began. Not only audio, but also visual! Jonas Sacks filmed each take of each ensemble, dancing fluidly around the musicians. This way, when the best take was chosen, we would always have a ‘1 take’ video to go with the ‘1 take’ DSD audio!\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eSeeing the expression on the faces of the musicians when they listened to themselves in DSD for the first time in the studio proved that Native DSD had organized something quite special. Most of them immediately shouted out in excitement: “We are playing right here in this room for ourselves to listen to!” A few others closed their eyes, made no sound, and sat totally still apart from the occasional jaw drop.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWell, that brings us to the point of why we did this. We are spreading the message of what the incredible DSD recording technique can deliver. At the same time, we are enriching the libraries of music fans with the music of some of the most promising Dutch musicians who would otherwise not have been recorded in DSD.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWe intend to flabbergast the musicians as well as our Native DSD customers by facilitating a one-off chance to record - and listen to them - in DSD. And who knows, perhaps the next step will be to record a complete album with the most popular ensemble? Or can we go to other places and do the same? One thing is for sure: Native DSD will keep exploring the ‘beyond’ part of our “DSD and Beyond” mission!\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMusic in DSD 256, DSD 128 and DSD 64\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThe music on 8 Ensembles in 1 Bit is being provided in both Stereo and Multichannel sound in the recorded resolution DSD 256 (quad rate DSD). For listeners with DSD 256 systems you will enjoy hearing the music exactly as it was recorded.\r\n\r\nWe know that many listeners do not own DSD 256 converters and players today. Tom Caulfield, the Mastering Engineer at Native DSD used specially developed software from Jussi Laako (the maker of the Signalyst HQ Player software player) for the conversion from DSD 256 to DSD 128 and DSD 64.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAdding Metadata and Uploading the Files for You\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nOnce the three sets of Stereo and Multichannel DSD files were completed, the tracks were then converted from the DFF to the DSF file format. This enables Native DSD to add metadata to the recorded tracks. Finally, the DSF tracks, cover art and album booklet in Acrobat PDF format are uploaded to our server where they can be purchased and downloaded for your musical enjoyment.\r\n\r\nWe hope this brief overview provides some insight into how we recorded the music on the new 8 Ensembles in 1 Bit album. There is more information in the booklet. We think you will really love what we heard in the recording studio – and you are about to hear at home.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreno Viricimo Group\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDe Gebroeders, Harteveld and Fretz\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKobra Ensemble\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Amsterdam Voices\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdd Pearls\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pipays\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Baggerman and Eva Scholten\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVercammen and Roinishvilli\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fHvA8AVga10\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial; font: initial; background: initial; background-blend-mode: initial; border: initial; border-radius: initial; border-collapse: initial; caption-side: initial; clear: initial; columns: initial; column-fill: initial; column-rule: initial; column-span: initial; cursor: initial; flex: initial; flex-flow: initial; float: initial; height: 0px; letter-spacing: initial; margin: initial; max-height: initial; max-width: initial; min-height: initial; min-width: initial; overflow: initial; padding: initial; text-align: initial; text-decoration: initial; text-indent: initial; text-transform: initial; vertical-align: initial; border-spacing: initial; width: initial;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738816328004,"sku":"JL002-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738816360772,"sku":"JL002-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738816393540,"sku":"JL002-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738816426308,"sku":"JL002-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738816459076,"sku":"JL002-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738816491844,"sku":"JL002-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738816524612,"sku":"JL002-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738816557380,"sku":"JL002-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738816590148,"sku":"JL002-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738816622916,"sku":"JL002-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308468085060,"sku":"JL002-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334718398788,"sku":"JL002S1417","price":22.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334718431556,"sku":"JL002S1517","price":24.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334718464324,"sku":"JL002S1617","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334718497092,"sku":"JL002S69","price":21.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334718529860,"sku":"JL002S710","price":20.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL002-1.jpg?v=1790133361"},{"product_id":"ptc5186518-richard-strauss-liszt-korngold-busoni-schreker","title":"Richard Strauss - Liszt - Korngold - Busoni - Schreker","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThank you for choosing our CD.\u003cbr\u003eI would love to share with you a few of my personal thoughts about these glorious works. It is always surprising to me that Korngold’s music isn’t better known internationally. His output was truly extraordinary and I find it consistently capturing my imagination with its beautiful imagery. On this disc, ‘Straussiana’ has such a charm about it and the orchestra performed the score with real joy. The Strauss referred to by Korngold was of course less ‘Richard’ and more ‘Johann’ (the Waltz King), and it’s worth noting here that although the work we’ve chosen by Busoni for this disc is also a waltz, the harmonies are very uncharacteristic and full of surprises. Busoni wrote some very challenging works for orchestra – but also very stimulating. It’s a pity this music is not performed more often. It was the first time for me conducting Schreker’s ‘Ein Tanzspiel’ – and I was surprised at this wonderful music! Each movement has such a clearly defined character – I particularly love the third movement.\u003cbr\u003eA work that is far better known is Liszt’s ‘Mephisto’ Waltz No 1. The appearance of the Mephisto character in this work can be clearly heard and I love the devilish atmosphere – though it remains at the same time a very beautiful score.\u003cbr\u003eWhen listening to this music, I am reminded of a proverb: \u003cstrong\u003e“There is no \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003erose without a thorn”. \u003c\/strong\u003eLastly; we couldn’t produce this disc without including some works by the wonderful Richard Strauss; Salome’s Dance and the Rosenkavalier Suite. Strauss is one of the composers which the OSR is used to performing as the opera orchestra in the theatre in Geneva. Their style is so well suited to this music and I love how they express the story and atmosphere through the notes. Their shimmering sound fits perfectly with this music – it’s incredible to conduct!\u003cbr\u003eWe hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it!\u003cbr\u003eAll my best wishes,\u003cbr\u003eKazuki Yamada\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738854666564,"sku":"PTC5186518-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738854699332,"sku":"PTC5186518-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738854732100,"sku":"PTC5186518-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738854764868,"sku":"PTC5186518-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738854797636,"sku":"PTC5186518-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308520776004,"sku":"PTC5186518-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334735798596,"sku":"PTC5186518S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334735831364,"sku":"PTC5186518S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334735864132,"sku":"PTC5186518S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5186518.jpg?v=1790134176"},{"product_id":"ptc5186071-beethoven-piano-trios-no2-in-e-flat-op1-no2-no5-in-d-op70-no1-ghost","title":"\"Beethoven Piano Trio's: No.2 in E flat, Op.1 No.2 \u0026 No.5 in D, Op.70 No.1 \"Ghost\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn May 9, 1795, the publishing house Artaria placed an advertisement in the Wiener Zeitung announcing the publication of Ludwig van Beethoven's Opus 1, a volume containing three piano trios: anyone interested could subscribe to the volume.

In February 1908, after his passionate courting attempts had been rejected by the Swiss violinist, Stefi Geyer, Bartók wrote her: “Having read your letter, I sat down at the piano – and had the sad premonition that, in life, music is to be my only consolation.” He illustrated these lines with a musical quotation which included the broken major-seventh chord, c-sharp – e – g-sharp – b-sharp, adding the words: “This is your leitmotiv.” It will have been particularly bitter for the composer that he had completed the score of the violin concerto, which had been written for Stefi, and into which he had poured his profound feelings for her, just a few days before her rejection. It is also to her that he dedicated the concerto, which, as in “a narcotic dream” (Römer), had been inspired a year earlier by his intoxicating love for her, but he did not do so without adding a tragic poem by Béla Balázs to the autograph score. Stefi Geyer kept the score until her death in 1956, with- out every performing the concerto publicly. It was not until 30 May 1958, thirteen years after Bartók’s death, that the concerto finally had its first public performance, in Basel, under the baton of Paul Sacher, with Hansheinz Schneeberger as soloist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738898313540,"sku":"PTC5186350-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738898346308,"sku":"PTC5186350-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738898379076,"sku":"PTC5186350-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738898411844,"sku":"PTC5186350-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738898444612,"sku":"PTC5186350-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308631171396,"sku":"PTC5186350-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334973595972,"sku":"PTC5186350S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334973628740,"sku":"PTC5186350S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57334973661508,"sku":"PTC5186350S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5186350-1.jpg?v=1790136775"},{"product_id":"wilson9432-fantasies-finesse","title":"Fantasies \u0026 Finesse","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eChopin’s Sonata in G minor, Op. 65 for cello and piano was the last composition published during his lifetime. Completed in 1846, the sonata was dedicated to Auguste Franchomme, a cellist and long-time friend of Chopin's, with whom Chopin collaborated in writing his Grand Duo Concertant for cello and piano. Chopin and Franchomme premiered the work at Chopin's last concert in Paris, and due to Chopin's failing health only the last three movements were performed. In a concert hall filled with flowers and an admiring audience of three hundred of the Paris elite, the concert was a smashing success. Chopin was called back several times to thunderous applause, finally repeating his D-flat Waltz as an encore. The work has stood the test of time. Its unity exists on a level which is difficult to discern at first hearing, but is there nevertheless. Certainly, with its Chopinesque harmonies and continually evolving form, the Sonata would have sounded somewhat bizarre to audiences familiar with the more classical sonatas of Mozart and Beethoven. Also, although Chopin gained great popularity as a composer of miniatures, such as his waltzes, mazurkas, and other more virtuosic solo pieces, not many of his larger-scale works, particularly his piano sonatas, were appreciated in his day. Schumann said of the B-flat Piano Sonata, Op. 35 that Chopin had “bound together four of his maddest children\"; elsewhere the work is referred to as “an enigma wrapped in a mysrery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWith the cello Sonata, Chopin proves himself to be a master in understanding the rich melodic possibilities of the cello. Chopin must have been fond of the instrument, as he wrote four of his five total chamber works for cello—the Grand Duo Concertant for cello and piano, the Introduction and Polonaise Brilliante, Op. 3 For cello and piano, and the Trio, Op. 8 for violin, cello and piano. In the Sonata, Chopin experiments with the relationship between piano and cello, exploring a wealth of different textures including piano solo in the opening of the first movement, lightly accompanied cello, cello with a piano countersubject, and piano solo with cello accompaniment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe first movement, Allegro moderato, opens with a piano solo reminiscent of the grand orchestral introduction of the much earlier piano concertos. The cello begins a dialogue with the piano which develops to a climax, resolving into the most exquisite of second themes. The piano plays this theme alone, tension held in supreme stillness. From this point on, Chopin develops the material as a true craftsman, allowing the melody and other relevant materials to evolve organically into a tightly integrated whole. The second movement is a spirited scherzo with a middle section of extraordinarily romantic loveliness. The third movement, marked Largo and Cantabile, contains a melody of almost Schumannian pathos. The colors and transcendent peace of this movement bear striking resemblance to the middle section of the Marche Funébre from Chopin's Piano Sonata in B-flat minor, Op. 35. The Finale of this sonata provides a fiery and passionate conclusion to the work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilson Audiophile Recordings","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738900345156,"sku":"Wilson9432-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738900377924,"sku":"Wilson9432-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308638052676,"sku":"Wilson9432-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/Wilson9432.jpg?v=1790136992"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/collections\/35-off-vday.oembed","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
