The set includes Wagner and Strauss song cycles, and a live recording of an eclectic programme of cantatas by Haydn, Berlioz and Britten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased with the support of Ms. Norman’s family and estate, the box set pays tribute to one of the exceptional vocal performers of recent times, one of the most wide-ranging and committed artists, and certainly one of classical music’s great personalities. Born in segregated Georgia in 1945, Jessye Norman became one of the most celebrated opera singers and recitalists in the world, with her four-decade discography amassing five Grammys, including the Lifetime Achievement Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMs. Norman’s continuous pursuit of excellence, combined with a relentless work ethic and schedule, meant many recording projects of extremely high standards were never finalized in her lifetime. As the former Head of Philips and Decca Classics, Costa Pilavachi writes in the booklet note:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“A perfectionist, Jessye was hardest on herself and she struggled to get everyone to help her achieve the highest possible standards. Some recordings took years to reach the public and some were never released, although this set rectifies some of these omissions.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe immense emotional range of Jessye Norman’s voice is demonstrated by a remarkable recording of highlights from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. Recorded with Kurt Masur and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra – the ‘dream team’ with which she made her celebrated Four Last Songs - the recording features Thomas Moser as Tristan, Hanna Schwarz as Brangäne and a young Ian Bostridge as the Seemann.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJessye Norman’s 1982 studio recording of Strauss’s Four Last Songs is frequently regarded as one of classical music’s all-time greatest recordings. On this new release, listeners will hear a fascinating alternative 1989 live recording of Norman performing the work, this time with James Levine and the Berliner Philharmoniker, paired with a 1992 recording of Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe final disc of the three-CD set contains a 1994 live recording of Ms. Norman with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Spanning repertoire from the Classical and Romantic eras and the twentieth century, the programme of cantatas is bound together by the theme of ancient queens, containing Haydn’s Scena di Berenice, Berlioz’s Cléopâtre and Britten’s Phaedra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJessye Norman won the ARD International Music Competition in Munich in 1968 and made her operatic debut the following year at the Deutsche Oper, Berlin. As well as becoming one of the most in-demand opera and concert singers in the world, Norman’s artistry reached audiences outside the classical world, performing at the inaugurations of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, for Queen Elizabeth II for her 60th birthday celebrations at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and La Marseillaise for world leaders on the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. Among other charity and outreach projects, (and The Rachel Longstreet Foundation) established the Jessye Norman School of the Arts in Augusta, Georgia in 2003 to provide tuition-free arts education for economically challenged youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrity and depth of Norman’s performances were best characterized by the New York Times:\u003cbr\u003e\n“This is an amazing voice, a catalog of all that is virtuous in singing.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\nCD1 (studio recording)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1.

This collection nevertheless represents a remarkable lifelong achievement, documenting the composer’s music from his earliest student compositions to the final masterpieces. In the years after his death in 1943, Rachmaninov’s reputation foundered, with the leading reference publication Grove’s Dictionary prophesying obscurity in a notoriously damning and unscholarly assessment.

Horowitz famously told Janis “I don’t want you to be a ‘second Horowitz’ I want you to be a ‘first Janis’.” Janis certainly established himself on the world stage when he made his Carnegie Hall debut recital in October 1948, garnering a rave review from the New York Times’ Olin Downes who praised him as a distinctive artist in his own right destined for a major career.\u003cbr\u003e\nBetween 1960 and 1964 Janis made a set of remarkable recordings for the Mercury Living Presence label. The Janis-Mercury partnership proved to be a good fit with Mercury’s uniquely detailed and exciting sound quality, using three microphones for an entire symphony orchestra and piano. Janis welcomed the opportunity to expand his recorded repertoire with Mercury. These recordings have been lovingly restored from the original master tapes and remastered at 24bit 192kHz by mastering engineer Tom Fine and presented in original sleeves.\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded as a bonus CD in this edition is a concert recital from Leningrad (St Petersburg) from a historic 1960 visit to Soviet Union, recorded secretly by his Soviet hosts. Janis was the first American pianist to be sent to the Soviet Union to open the first formal cultural exchange – he would later be hailed as “an ambassador in breaking down ‘cold war’ barriers”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Byron Janis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46170774536508,"sku":"4853607","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0410\/8860\/files\/Byron_282_29.jpg?v=1745361064"},{"product_id":"zoltan-kocsis-complete-recordings","title":"Zoltán Kocsis - Complete Recordings","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that this item will be shipped within the next 7-14 working days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZoltán Kocsis’ gifts were apparent even before he began formal musical studies at the age of five. After attending the Bela Bartók Conservatory, he graduated from the Liszt Academy where he was a member of a distinguished troika of Hungarian pianists—with Dezsö Ránki and András Schiff—who emanated from the late 1960s class of Pál Kadosa; here, he also studied with Ferenc Rados and György Kurtág. At eighteen, Kocsis won the Hungarian Radio Beethoven Competition, which led to an extensive tour, and also the pianist’s first recording opportunity. Celebrated for his versatile technique, Kocsis was also meticulous in his study of texts and sources, and brought a scholarly, inquiring mind to the art of performance. Inventive programming and contemporary repertoire were features of his orchestral and solo piano programmes. His recordings for Philips of Bartók’s complete works for solo piano stand as a definitive treatment of the composer’s art. He also recorded Bartók’s three piano concertos with conductor Iván Fischer, with whom he had co-founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra. Beyond Bartók—whose works he also conducted with idiomatic richness—Kocsis made acclaimed recordings of Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Dohnányi. Drawing on his talents as a composer, he made his own transcription of Rachmaninov’s Vocalise, concluding with imaginatively virtuosic figuration. His transcription of the Prelude to Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, which at the climax spills on to multiple staves, deployed virtuosity to project the heights of passion. Virtuosity aside, the other predominant characteristic of his performances was the pellucid tone, consistently sensuous even in passages of heightened emotion, enhanced by the singing quality he unfailingly brought to melodic lines. Had Kocsis recorded nothing else, his Bartók legacy alone would secure his place among history’s greatest pianists. Still, this comprehensive edition of his Philips piano recordings—marking what would have been his 70th birthday—proves that, in the end, the best specialists are the most universal of musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD 1-2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

The Fitzwilliam was one of the first of a long line of eminent quartets to have emerged under the guidance of Sidney Griller at the Royal Academy of Music. They quickly achieved international recognition for their diverse repertoire and were winners of the first-ever Gramophone Award for Chamber Music.

He said of his work ‘One must certainly not by tyrannical. A conductor must immerse himself in the possibilities of each and every orchestra member and bring everything out of them.’ It was a huge shock, when during a rehearsal of Brahms’ First Symphony on 13 April 1959, van Beinum suffered a fatal heart attack on the podium in the Concertgebouw at the age of just 58. His qualities as a musician had perhaps not been fully appreciated during his lifetime, but after his death, his recordings allow us to re-evaluate his impeccable musical intuition, his good taste and the spontaneity of his music-making. Collected here in one edition that predominately features the two orchestras he was Principal Conductor of — the Concertgebouworkest \u0026amp; London Philharmonic Orchestra — are the complete recordings he made for both Decca and Philips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- A sparkling interpretation of Beethoven’s ballet music to The Creature of Prometheus with the LPO\u003cbr\u003e\n- Brahms’ Symphony cycle recorded with the Concertgebouworkest – a radically modern approach for the time they were made\u003cbr\u003e\n- Lauded recordings of Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole (1946) ‘Without question, this is the best recording we have had of this pungently evocative work.’ — Gramophone; Boléro and La Valse and Debussy’s La Mer, Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (1946) ‘A truly brilliant recording, bringing out more of the score than I should have thought possible’ — Gramophone\u003cbr\u003e\n- Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique (one of his most celebrated recordings full of incisive precision and spontaneous explosive abandon)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Reference recordings of Bruckner’s 7, 8 \u0026amp; 9th Symphonies – “Bruckner is my bread and butter” said Van Beinum\u003cbr\u003e\n- Diapason d’Or award-winning recordings of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.4 \u0026amp; A Midsummer Night’s Dream (CO) \u0026amp; Hebrides Overture (LPO)\u003cbr\u003e\n- A series of 78rpm recordings made for ‘Dutch Decca’, Telefunken \u0026amp; Deutsche Grammophon, including many works van Beinum never recorded commercially, such as Richard Strauss’s Don Juan and Smetana’s Vltava – all released for the first time in nearly 70 years, in new hi-res transfers made especially for this collection\u003cbr\u003e\n- Bonus Audio documentary feature produced by Jon Tolansky, with commentary by a number of musicians who worked with Eduard van Beinum\u003cbr\u003e\n- 102pp book (English\/Dutch\/French\/German) with essays by music historian Niek Nelissen and Jon Tolansky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS:\u003cbr\u003e\nCD 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1    J.S.

Besides his modesty, his humanity, his musical taste, and his honesty to the music, three words come to mind when one thinks of Haitink and his orchestra:  Sound, Trust and Magic.  Jörgen van Rijen, Principal trombone of the Concertgebouworkest, said at a memorial concert in February this year, “Every time with him [Haitink] the orchestra sounded warmer, deeper and richer, from the first moment he started to rehearse.  How he did that is difficult to tell … he always gave us musicians the feeling he trusted you, that he was there to help, not to interfere.”  Together they left a vast recorded legacy which is now collected in one edition for the first time on 113 CDs + 4 DVDs with original sleeves and presented with a 170pp book (EN\/FR\/DE\/JP) with authoritative notes by Niek Nelissen, a foreword by Patricia Haitink and tributes from many fellow musicians.

He joined the hallowed choir of King’s College, Cambridge, at age 11 under Boris Ord, and would later take up the position of organ scholar at King’s as an undergraduate in 1958 under Sir David Willcocks. Willcocks was a huge influence, with his meticulous and rigorous approach to practice and insistence on perfection in performance which can be seen throughout Preston’s career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen he took his first post at Westminster Abbey, in 1962, he was said to be the youngest organist at the royal church since Henry Purcell, three centuries earlier. After a briefly covering for Peter Hurford as Master of the Music at St. Albans Cathedral in 1968, he took charge of the choir at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford in 1970; he also lectured at the university. He brought out a fervent, firm tone and an impressive agility in the choir of Christ Church —just as he would when he later returned to Westminster Abbey, before concentrating on a career as an international concert and recording artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen he arrived at Christ Church, Preston was very much the “new broom”. His intelligence and erudition as a scholar together with his innate superhuman energy re-vitalised the choir with a verve not often apparent in the genteel world of English cathedral music and it was not long before there was an ambition to make recordings, the first of which was of Walton’s music. With a judicious choice of repertory, the subsequent discs garnered excellent reviews and the cathedral choir began to be recognised as one of the finest collegiate choirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether they set down acclaimed accounts — often with the period instrument specialists of the English Concert and the Academy of Ancient Music — of composers from Haydn back to Handel and Purcell, and beyond to Lassus and Palestrina. The discs in this set — their complete recordings on the Argo and L’Oiseau-Lyre labels — are testimony to Preston’s remarkable achievements there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Collected here in one edition are the complete Argo and L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings of Simon Preston conducting the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\n• 19 CDs in original jackets\u003cbr\u003e\n• Highlights include acclaimed accounts of composers from Haydn back to Handel and Purcell, and beyond to Lassus and Palestrina\u003cbr\u003e\n• The recordings are accompanied by a 32pp book with new notes by conductor, choirmaster and composer Ronald Corp, who was a chorister under Preston\u003cbr\u003e\n• Two-piece rigid lift-off lid box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\nCD1 - BYRD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1.

Her goal is that the listener should understand the structure and the message of the work, without anything to disrupt it. She has always been admired for the grace and shapeliness of her phrasing, her pellucid cantabile touch, her crystalline articulation, and the warmth, sensitivity, and quietly nuanced expressivity of her interpretations.

The album is a very special collaboration between Academy Award-winning actor Olivia Colman, children’s author Michael Morpurgo and the seven “extraordinarily talented” (Classic FM) Kanneh-Mason siblings – Isata, Braimah, Sheku, Konya, Jeneba, Aminata and Mariatu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios, the release includes new poems written by War Horse author Morpurgo to accompany French composer Saint-Saëns’ beloved musical suite ‘Carnival of the Animals’.

Hear them and you know it. See them and you know it.” Along with Colman’s readings interposing the humorous suite ‘Carnival of the Animals’, which represents different animals through descriptive musical motifs, the recording features Morpurgo’s heart-warming Grandpa Christmas story, set to music for the first time with classic tracks including ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’, ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ and ‘Sea Murmurs’. Morpurgo reads the role of Grandpa, with the youngest Kanneh-Mason, Mariatu, reading his granddaughter. The album includes a new arrangement of Eric Whitacre’s ‘The Seal Lullaby’ featuring all seven siblings, aged between 11-24. It is also the debut recording for youngest sisters Konya, Jeneba, Aminata and Mariatu. Also featuring on the album is the Kanneh-Masons’ own arrangement of Bob Marley’s iconic hit ‘Redemption Song’, marking 40 years since its release in 1980 – fewer than five years before the singer’s death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stunning artwork for Carnival has been specially commissioned from children’s illustrator Emma Chichester Clark, who has created a colourful storybook world featuring vibrant birds, friendly kangaroos, curious elephants and all seven of the Kanneh-Mason siblings – depicted, of course, with their instruments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The Kanneh-Masons, Michael Morpurgo, Olivia Colman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46170942538044,"sku":"4851156","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0410\/8860\/files\/SharedImage-120565.png?v=1745836526"},{"product_id":"sibelius-cd","title":"Sibelius: CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chief Conductor of Oslo Philharmonic and Music Director of Orchestre de Paris, Klaus Mäkelä announces his debut album; the complete Sibelius symphonies plus the fragments of the unfinished 8th and his last symphonic poem Tapiola.

Recorded at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center Concert Hall in 2029 with Orchestre National de Lyon and International Choir Academy Lübeck, conducted by Tan Dun with eminent Chinese soloists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tan Dun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46170996179260,"sku":"4854221","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0410\/8860\/files\/Decca_Tan_Dun_Buddha_Passion_3000px_281_29.jpg?v=1745363482"},{"product_id":"sound-of-silence-cd","title":"Sound of Silence: CD","description":null,"brand":"Miloš Karadaglić","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46170999030076,"sku":"7779637","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0410\/8860\/files\/SharedImage-94821.jpg?v=1745362588"},{"product_id":"il-tenore-cd","title":"Il Tenore: CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e“It was a rare thrill to hear a tenor voice of this ease and brilliance.

The album celebrates her remarkable life and performing career which began as a child prodigy in the 1920s and continues nine decades later. Born in 1925 in Sacramento, California, to Polish immigrants, Slenczynska gave her concert debut at the age of four (just as the world entered the Great Depression), performed on television aged five and at six made her European concert debut in Berlin. 92 years later, the extraordinary pianist still performs to audiences around the world. As a child, Ruth Slenczynska was taught by some of the most celebrated pianists in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘My Life in Music’ is inspired by Slenczynska’s personal connections with Rachmaninoff, as well as American composer Samuel Barber, who was her fellow student and friend. Slenczynska heard Barber’s now world-famous Adagio for Strings in the classroom, before it even had its title. Slenczynska also explores the music of Chopin throughout the new album, including a piece she performed at the memorial service of one of the greatest pianists of all time, Vladimir Horowitz, a life-long friend. Chopin’s music formed Slenczynska’s musical foundations, with her father making her play all 24 Études before breakfast every morning. Slenczynska went on to earn a reputation as one of the most celebrated Chopin interpreters. The album also features pieces by Debussy, Grieg and Bach which, for her, conjure memories of some of her great piano mentors: Egon Petri, Alfred Cortot and Josef Hoffman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

He held the status of Toscanini, Furtwängler, Walter, Beecham, Stokowski, and Koussevitzky, although in approach and interpretation he had little in common with any of them, other than Toscanini. The comparison is fourfold: their art is marked by a total fidelity to the score; they bore similarities in dramatic temperament; in the fastidious attention to contrasting detail and nuance; and in the razor-sharp rhythmic attack and tight precision of the playing they obtained. Kleiber’s repertoire for Decca mirrored that of his London concerts: symphonies by Mozart and Beethoven, overtures by Dvořák and Handel as well as Strauss-family favourites; all done with superb attention to rhythmic lift and dynamic balance so that combined with Decca’s pioneering ‘ffrr’ technology – full frequency range recording – listeners could (and still can) hear inside the scores to a degree remarkable for the late 1940s. Kleiber was ‘a conductor’s conductor’, observed a reviewer for The Spectator, seeing him in concert at the time of these recordings; a conductor who obtained precisely what he wanted with ‘instinctive ease and economy of means’. Collected together in this set are his complete recordings for Decca – from those early 78s through to the last piece he was to record: Die Schlittenfahrt (The Sleighride) from Mozart’s Three German Dances K605 – and a bonus audio documentary presented by Jon Tolansky which provides compelling first-hand evidence of just how highly musicians regarded him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS:\u003cbr\u003e\nCD 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1    JOSEF STRAUSS: Sphärenklänge, Op. 235     \u003cbr\u003e\n2    J.
