Cinquecento

A new departure for the wonderful all-male vocal ensemble Cinquecento. They turn to the secular music—generally much less well-known—of the Renaissance masters Philippe de Monte, Jacobus Vaet and Jacob Regnart whose sacred music they have explored so successfully in previous recordings for Hyperion. Also included are six chansons by Jean Guyot de Châtelet. This collection is both historically fascinating and stunningly performed.

Harold SHAPERO Piano Music Piano Sonata in F minor; Variations in C minor; Sonata for Four Hands

Sally PinkasEvan Hirsch

These three early piano works – two of them receiving their first-ever recordings – reveal Shapero’s superb craftsmanship and his ready wit, in music which embraces the past instead of rejecting it. The result is an extraordinary fusion between the Viennese classics – not least late Beethoven – and contemporary America.

Amy WOODFORDE-FINDEN The Oriental Song-CyclesMichael HalliwellDavid Miller

Her song-cycle Four Indian Love Lyrics of 1902 contains the ‘Kashmiri Song’ (it begins ‘Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar’) that became a runaway success in its own day. Her five other ‘oriental’ song-cycles, which have long since fallen from favour and are revived here for the first time, contain plenty of honest sentiment, good tunes and splashes of local colour.

Charles-Valentin ALKANThe Complete Vianna da Motta TranscriptionsVincenzo Maltempo Emanuele Delucchi

The Portuguese piano virtuoso and composer José Vianna da Motta (1868–1948) understood the importance of Alkan’s music long before its current rise to prominence. He made a number of transcriptions to foster its performance, arranging eight of the organ Prières for solo piano and some of the music for pédalier – the obsolete pedal-piano – for piano duo and duet.

All the Heart of MeThe Choral Music of Margaret RUTHVEN LANG

Donald George, Choirs, Soloists and Orchestra of The Crane School of Music

The music of late-Romantic composer Margaret Ruthven Lang (1867-1972) – though quite well known in her time – fell into near-total neglect after she stopped composing in 1919. Delos now offer her beautifully crafted and appealing choral music, in the hope of restoring Lang to her rightful place among America’s most remarkable composers.

In 1949 Charles Munch was appointed director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a post that brought him to the pinnacle of his international career. He was by then fifty-eight years old, though only in his seventeenth season as a conductor (having previously been a professional violinist), and during his thirteen years with the orchestra he explored a wide range of repertoire from the Baroque to the contemporary – including some sixty-eight world premieres.
