AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE

IMPORTThis special collection was created in celebration of an exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels commissioned by musician and conductor William Christie and contemporary artist Michal Borremans. Watteau, la leon de musique, invites the listener to discover the music that is ever-present in the works of Antoine Watteau, an early eighteenth-century painter known for his ftes galantes paintings of the upper class in idealized natural settings, often playing or listening to music. Watteau was also friends with many musicians and was able to accurately capture their movements in his work. Featuring works by Lully, Vivaldi, Couperin and other contemporaries, this release invokes the unbreakable link between art and music. Performers include Ren Jacobs, William Christie, Bernarda Fink and Paul ODette.

IMPORTThis release presents the world premire recording of Wolfgang Rihms latest orches t ra l work , the symphony Nhe fern (Near Far), commissioned by and composed in close collaboration with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra under its principal conductor, James Gaffigan. The score is divided into four parts, designed to preface Brahmss four symphonies. True to the works title, each section is a homage profoundly linked with its model, yet at the same time constantly moving away from it. Nhe fern is coupled with Rihms setting of a Goethe poem that gave the work its title, Dmmrung senkte sich von oben. It contains the line, Dmmrung senkte sich von oben / Schon ist alle Nhe fern (Twilight has fallen from above, / Already all nearness is distant). Originally written for voice and piano, the song is heard here in a setting for baritone and orchestra featuring Hans Christoph Begemann.

Hans Christoph Begemann is about as fine a Lieder singer as we have any right to expect. His voice is smooth and even throughout its range he captivates

with his story-telling ability and sense of drama.CLASSICS TODAY

IMPORTFrancesco da Milano (dubbed Il Divino) was celebrated as the preeminent composer of lute music in Renaissance Italy. He was widely published in his lifetime and remained popular across Europe into the 17th century. In this generous selection of his favorite works by the master, Paul ODette has grouped these elegant and refined compositions into proto suites, each consisting of a ricercar, a fantasia, and one or more intabulations of vocal hits of the day.

IMPORTHyperion presents a second volume of flute concertos from eighteenth-century

Naples featuring flutist Carlo Ipata and the period band Auser Musici. Their first album of this repertoire was praised not only for its impeccably stylish playing but also for the discovery of the music itself, which despite its obscurity is delightfully appealing. The works are placed in their historical context in the booklet note by Stefano Aresi, who writes, To listen to the flute concertos of these composers is to be transported to the atmosphere of everyday music-making in Naples, that of the private concerts in the aristocratic palaces. They give a good idea of the extremely high average quality of the compositions habitually consumed by the cream of Neapolitan society, perfectly representing the taste of an era and the outstanding virtuosity of the performers who were regularly employed there.

IMPORTThe piano works of American composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes represent a remarkable musical achievement. Griffes was active as a composer for little more than twelve years. Nevertheless, he produced pieces of great maturity that are both concise and extraordinarily powerful, showing the contemporary European influences to which he was exposed but also demonstrating a highly individual compositional voice. Roman Sketches, his most famous work, includes The White Peacock an acknowledged Impressionist masterpiece while the final movement, Clouds, heralds the language of modernism. Almost all of Griffess piano music is present here, played by his compatriot Garrick Ohlsson, who here applies the full force of his interpretive and technical prowess.

Many of these works have never been recorded or indeed published before, and have been excavated from the archives by Driver himself. This double album is therefore a valuable resource for admirers of a composer whom Hyperion has done so much to champion through recordings. This body of work includes juvenilia, miniatures (written with an eye to academic performance during Bowens years as a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, but all impressive enough in quality to be concert works), his two Violin Sonatas, a Suite and a number of single-movement works. All show a superb composer of chamber music, a genuine original with a performers ear.

He was known then as one of the worlds greatest pianists, had studied with Liszt, and knew Brahms. From his teens, there began to emerge a body of composition which showed a maturity well beyond his years and seemed to produce a fusion of the then-incompatible schools of the moderns (Liszt and Wagner) and the traditionalists (Brahms and his followers). DAlberts piano concertos have been recorded to much acclaim by Piers Lane, who is featured on this mid-priced Helios series reissue of the composers works for solo piano.

IMPORTOn this live recording from the Chapelle Royale at the Chateau de Versailles, Olivier Schneebeli and Les Pages & les Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles illuminate Marc-Antoine Charpentiers admirable synthesis of Italian chiaroscuro and the radiant grace of the French Baroque. The disc presents two of the composers Histoires sacres Judith sive Bethulia liberata and Caedes Sanctorum Innocentium. Stimulated by his years of training in Rome, these works represent a kind of sacred theatre. They deploy unprecedented vocal and instrumental invention to portray major episodes from the Old and New Testaments, focusing on their emotional and psychological aspects.

IMPORTLSO Lives The Panufnik Legacies offers a collection of new works by ten emerging young composers. These pieces were commissioned as part of the LSO Panufnik Scheme, which began in 2005 and each year offers six composers the opportunity to write a three minute piece for the London Symphony Orchestra under the guidance of renowned composer Colin Matthews. The scheme was devised by the orchestra in association with Lady Panufnik in memory of her late husband, the composer Sir Andrzej Panufnik. This recording showcases the works of selected composers from across the first five years of the scheme. Franois-Xavier Roth leads the orchestra in music by Andrew McCormack, Christian Mason, Charlie Piper Flotan, Eloise Gynn Sakura, Edward Nesbit, Jason Yarde, Martin Suckling, Christopher Mayo, Elizabeth Winters and Vlad Maistorovici.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Sir Colin Davis conducts the London Symphony Orchestra and chorus and a stellar cast of soloists in a concert performance of Webers eerily fantastical opera,

Der Freischtz. Der Freischtz is heralded as one of the cornerstones of Romantic opera, drawing on traditional German folk tunes and elements of Romanticism for the first time in the history of opera. The evocative and colorful orchestration is particularly impressive in the Wolf s Glen scene long considered the most gruesomely expressive rendering of evil ever found in a musical score. Many listeners may be familiar with this opera without even knowing it; several of the melodies have been adapted as hymn tunes and the overture is regularly performed as a stand-alone work in the concert hall.

Viewing Weber as one of Wagners major precursors, Davis presents the opera on the grandest of scales, with big orchestral forces, and a pair of established Wagnerian

leads in Simon ONeills Max and Christine Brewers Agathe.THE GUARDIAN

In ce lebrat ion of Verdis anniversary year, the Mariinsky label presents a high-definition video recording of Verdis Attila, led by maestro Valery Gergiev, produced by Arturo Gama and featuring acclaimed Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov in the title role. A two-time GRAMMY Award winner for his Verdi readings, Abdrazakov has quickly established himself as one of operas most sought-after basses. Since making his La Scala debut in 2001 at only 25, the Russian singer has become a mainstay at leading houses worldwide. Filmed in the Mariinsky Opera House, the video includes a stunning picture gallery of scenes from the performance. As is the case with many of Verdis operas, Attila is imbued with the spirit of Risorgimento, the national liberation movement of the Italian people against foreign rule and for the unification of Italy. Looking ahead, Attila is the first of four opera videos that are planned for release on the Mariinsky label in 2013.

IMPORTVia Crucis is one of Franz Liszts boldest and most original works. Its musical inspiration, which ranges from Gregorian chant to Lutheran chorales, is expressed in extremely modern harmonies that presage the coming atonal revolution. Diapason dOr winner Jean-Claude Pennetier joins the Estonian ensemble Vox Clamantis on this program, which is completed by Liszt piano pieces on a religious theme and plainchant from the liturgy of Holy Week, one of the major sources of inspiration for Via Crucis.

IMPORTGrave, agile, majestic and picturesque, the keyboard output of Francois Couperin, with its array of indispensable ornaments and piquant details, enables us to follow all the impulses of the soul of the most poetic of our harpsichord composers, as Debussy called him. Performed here on the piano, which brings them its own special color, these harpsichord pieces, in their various moods, retain all their inimitable charm in the hands of Israeli pianist Iddo Bar-Sha.

IMPORTConjuratio, Mirares collection of music by German composer Matthias Weckmann, brings to light a body of work that deserves far greater attention than it has received to date. Weckmann was a student of Heinrich Schtz and rose through the ranks to become one of the leading musicians of Hamburg. He was the organist at two major churches and founded the citys Collegium Musicum. Much of the music heard here, admirably performed by the Ricercar Consort led by Philippe Pierlot, was inspired by Weckmanns experiences associated with a terrible epidemic of plague that decimated Hamburg in 1663. Among its victims were his wife and many friends and colleagues. These tragic events inspired him to write inspired works that evoke images of desolation and destruction, but also struggle and hope.

DOMESTICIn 2001, Philip Glass composed the music for the film Naqoyqatsi: Life as War. It was the last film in a trilogy by director Godfrey Reggio that featured only images and music. When the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra invited Glass to be a creative director for its Boundless Series during the 2011-12 season, Glass thought of his cello concerto and its possible life beyond film. The CSO commissioned the Cello Concerto No.2 Naqoyqatsi and gave the composer the opportunity to have it reborn as a proper concerto. The resulting recording is drawn from the live performances. This dynamic seven-movement work is conducted here by long-time Glass champion Dennis Russell Davies with soloist Matt Haimovitz.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo/ DSDConductor Pierre Monteux had one of the longest musical careers in recent times, exceeded only by Pablo Casals and Leopold Stokowski. A champion of new music, he led the premires of many works, among them Stravinskys Rite of Spring (which caused a notorious audience riot) and the work recorded here, Ravels glorious ballet Daphnis et Chlo. Monteux assumed the position of music director of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1961 at age 86. The historic remastered recordings on this hybrid SACD date from this period and include the Rapsodie espagnole, Pavane pour une infante dfunte and the complete Daphnis et Chlo.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo/ DSDOn this release, part of Pragas Reminiscences series of remastered historic recordings, four legendary artists prove the timelessness of the music of Camille Saint-Sans. Pianist Emil Gilels, violinists Isaac Stern and Arthur Grumiaux and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich dazzle in solo concertos by this eclectic composer, written during a revival of the great classical forms in the late 1800s. Their partners in these works conductors Eugene Ormandy, Andr Cluytens, Jean Fournet and Sir Malcolm Sargent are legendary in their own right and make this SACD a must-have for any serious collector.

IMPORTOn October 28, 1949, former child prodigy Ginette Neveu boarded a plane in Paris with her pianist brother Jean-Paul to fly to America for a four-month concert tour. Tragically, the plane never reached its destination. These recordings of her three final concerts September 21st in Stuttgart with her brother, September 25th under Hans Rosbaud in Baden-Baden and October 20th at the Salle Pleyel with her brother are a musical testament to one of the greatest violinists of her era.

IMPORTOn this disc, Frdric Desenclos performs a rich anthology of the organ music of Louis Marchand, who settled in Paris at the end of Lullys life and died one year before the first performance of Rameaus Hippolyte et Aricie. These works reveal the full dimensions of his output, where humor courts with seriousness, innovation mixes with mastery of form, and studied compositional procedures are balanced by sheer pleasure of timbre. Desenclos is the resident organist of the Chapelle Royale at the Chateau de Versailles, organ professor at the Orleans Conservatoire and musical director of the acclaimed Ensemble Pierre Robert.

IMPORTFile in: JazzBrilliant musical explorer Mdric Collignon likes to revisit the work of those who inspired him. After Ennio Morricone and Miles Davis, the cornetists unbridled imagination turns to the legendary progressive-rock band King Crimson. Originally conceived as a stage project, A la recherche du Roi Fripp is now available on CD. Collignon plunged himself into the integral work of the band, studying every version to find the best and reinterpret them with his own energy. On the album he is joined by his group Jus de Bocse and a string octet, which adds a touch of the classical baroque. This is King Crimson as youve never imagined. As Collignon says, Stop wondering if it is rock or jazz. Wonder if youre ready to listen with your heart and your body.

IMPORTFile in: JazzBrother Stoon is the first album by up-and-coming 25-year-old saxophonist Baptiste Herbin, recorded in January 2011 at Studio de Meudon. Despite his youth, he has already displayed a striking and powerful technique and quality of tone. A student of Jean Jacques Rulhmann and Julien Lourau in his native Chartres and Jean Charles Richard in Paris, his music on this debut is an engaging tribute to the bop tradition. Each note will captivate listeners.

IMPORTFile in: JazzWallace Roneys most famous mentor was, of course, Miles Davis, and it cant be denied that Davis work and example still influence his music. However, Roney has latched on to the spiking, probing, darker side of Miles legacy, which seems better suited to his musical temperament than does the winsomely lyrical playing of his famous colleague. Roneys latest recording is hard bop at its finest and features the concentrated power coupled with devastating power and originality for which Roneys bands have become known. The bands set list on Understanding is as unique and through-provoking as its playing, offering tunes by Roy Brooks, Duke Pearson, McCoy Tyner as well as some originals by both band members and the leader.

Each of the albums eleven compositions resonates with the clarity of an artist who has reached a clear turning point. It is no wonder that Allens latest work has received a flood of critical attention including a nomination along with Sonny Rollins for Tenor Saxophonist of the Year from the Jazz Journalists Association. Far from new to the jazz world, Allen has been a stalwart of the New York scene for more than a decade, lending his astute playing to a string of headline jazz names, from Betty Carter to Cindy Blackman. Joined here by pianist Eldar Djangirov, bassist Dezron Douglas and drummer Jonathan Barber, Allen explores new territory with works that challenge preconceptions and expand the expressive potential of jazz composition.

IMPORTFile in: World / FranceDroit dans la Gueule du Loup (walking straight into the lions den) is an album overflowing with anger, tears, splendors, sorrows, strength and wonders. It is anything but a safe collection of inoffensive songs. Armed with the words of songwriter Guillaume Favray, Melissmell wanders on through a world of verist melancholies and dark poetry. This new album features pianist Matu (Mano Solo, Indochine) and guitarist Daniel Jamet (Mano Negra, Mano Solo). Christine Ott also joins the three of them, playing Ondes Martenot on three songs.

DOMESTICFile in: World / IndiaIn October 2011, at the seasoned age of 91, Ravi Shankar invited his long-time tabla accompanist, Tanmoy Bose, to his home in Encinitas, California for an informal recording session. Over four days, they worked in Shankars living room, recording seven different ragas. The resulting music is pure Shankar a pairing of deep musical experience and brilliant technique performed with the energy and passion he brings to his live concerts. The first four of these sessions, released in 2011, won a GRAMMY award for Best World Music Album. The Living Room Sessions Part 2 is no less noteworthy, with three of the last session recordings made by Maestro Ravi Shankar before his death in December 2012. Shankars playing is characterized by such intensity, clarity, and delight that it reveals, once more, the maestros musical genius as something to reckon with, even in his tenth decade.

One of the great figures of 20th century music... his unique legacy and immense contribution to the history of Indian music is destined to outlast us all.

The djem is both a liturgy commemorating the founding myths of the Bektashi faith and a fraternal agape (ritual feast) uniting an entire community. Music, listened to with great intensity, is a link between all that permeates this entire ritual. In these recordings from the Turkish region of Antalya, two choirs are present: one, conducted by Mzaffer Grgl, recorded in 2004; the other, conducted by Sleyman Can, in the mother house (the house of the ancestral djem) in 2011.
