Zoltán KODÁLYString Quartets Nos 1 & 2; Intermezzo; GavotteDante Quartet

In the chamber works recorded here, spanning Kodály's career, we can hear an unwavering desire to place genuine Hungarian folk music (rather than the ‘style hongrois’ espoused by the Strauss family and many other composers ) within classical music traditions. Bartók wrote of his compatriot that ‘if I were to name the composer whose works are the most perfect embodiment of the Hungarian spirit, I would answer, Kodály’.

In Cédric Tiberghien’s first solo recording for Hyperion he embraces the sensual, crepuscular sound-world of Szymanowski’s piano music. Tiberghien’s expressive, mercurial, quicksilver playing with its extraordinary pianissimos and kaleidoscopic range of colour makes him an ideal performer of this repertoire.

Berit Norbakken Solset, Barokksolistene, Bjarte Eike (Artistic Director and Violin Soloist)

This music does not belong to any particular style, but forms a musical matrimony between Nordic folk, the rich sounds of the Elizabethan consort and a modern approach to music-making (soundscapes by Jon Blake).

The Late Quartets arranged for String Orchestra

String Quartets Nos. 13-16

Georg Philipp Telemann, whose ancestors had been Lutheran ministers for many generations was himself a staunch Lutheran. The texts selected by him for his sacred music attest to his interest not only in poetic excellence but also in content and interpretive quality.

Anton BRUCKNER Symphony No. 9 in D Minor Berner Symphonieorchester

Hardly any other complete recording in progress has provoked such a vehement pro and contra as this revolutionary reading by Venzago. Layers are exposed that until now have remained hidden and unheard under the pomp and pseudo-solemn pathos typifying most performances.

Johann STRAUSSDie Fledermaus

Chen Reiss, Paul Armin Edelmann, Aga Mikolaj, Rainer Trost, Sebastian Holecek, Jürgen Sacher, Natasha Petrinsky, WDR Rundfunkchor Köln, WDR Rundfunkorchester Köln, Friedrich Haider Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, the Waltz King’s main work, is still abreast of the times today. The situation in 1874, when the operetta was premiered was considerably more dramatic than the current crisis: the collapse and the closure by the police of the Vienna stock exchange on 9 May 1873 with more than a hundred bankruptcies in a single day. So, even at that time there were good reasons for saying ‘Glücklich ist, wer vergisst, was doch nicht zu ändern ist’ (‘Fortunate is he who can forget what cannot be changed’), which flutters like a flag over Die Fledermaus.

He takes particular care over the selection and sequence of tracks, including the gaps between them, and the full range of the guitar’s many colours. By retaining this control he can keep the essence of his original presentation and avoid the unmusical sequences inevitable in the never ending stream of compilations. He records at Air Lyndhurst Studios in London.

Le Corsaire

Ballet du Capitole

Kader Belarbi’s new production of Le Corsaire is a bold reinvention of a 19th-century classic. Belarbi’s fresh scenario and choreography give this colourful yet ultimately tragic story of the corsair (Davit Galstyan) and the beautiful slave-girl who captures his heart (Maria Gutierrez) renewed clarity and simplicity. David Coleman conducts a score based on Adolphe Adam’s original work, but enhanced with music by composers from Massenet to Sibelius, as well as new compositions and orchestrations by Coleman himself.
