NEWS & HIGHLIGHTSSTREET DATE: JUNE 10, 2014

West Side Story is an evergreen treasure of American music. Leonard Bernstein’s protégé Michael Tilson Thomas leads a new recording of the complete Broadway score that stars Cheyenne Jackson as Tony and Alexandra Silber as Maria and is offered on premium audio Hybrid SACD (p.21). Jazz Village ventures into new territory with Lucky Peterson’s The Son of a Bluesman, an album of modern blues with a red-hot groove (p.24). Peterson’s release is also available on vinyl with three bonus tracks (p.25). For vinyl junkies, this month’s releases feature three more titles including Ahmad Jamal’s Blue Moon, Ibrahim Maalouf’s Illusions, and Melingo’s Linyera (p.25). Our key classical priority is Marc-André Hamelin’s new Hyperion disc of music by Schumann and Janácek. Every Hamelin release is an event, and this one is yet another jewel in his crown (p.12). Also on Hyperion are a disc of French Baroque arias by soprano Carolyn Sampson (p.13) and music from the Hapsburg court featuring vocal ensemble Cinquecento (p.14). Delphian regulars Concerto Caledonia offer a fascinating early-music release exploring the music of Tobias Hume (p.8), and worthy of special note is a collection of ten reissues on La Dolce Volta featuring the Talich Quartet, who are celebrating fifty years as a group (p.16).

IMPORTBetrayal, revenge, inheritance conflicts and forbidden love at the Persian court – in 1728 this explosive mixture inspired Handel to compose the opera Siroe, Re di Persia, one of his last compositions for the Royal Academy of Music at the King’s Theatre. Handel based his work on the libretto by the famous poet Pietro Metastasio. In its first season Siroe was performed on eighteen successive evenings, but it was never subsequently revived in Handel’s lifetime. This recording from the Göttingen Festival features a top-rank cast performing under the musical direction of Laurence Cummings.

IMPORT In between improvisation and the relatively precise performance notation found in the early seventeenth century was the musical arrangement. Composers of the time had no compunction about using someone else’s thematic material; this

was seen as a tribute. Dieterich Buxtehude, like many of his contemporaries, assigned the cornett an important role in his concertante vocal music. For this album, William Dongois has selected some of Buxtehude’s sonatas for violin, viol and continuo and adapted them for cornett, sackbut and concertante organ.

IMPORTNommos Visiting is an electronic work based in speculative fiction, written in 1979 by American composer Craig Leon. It was inspired by a 1970s New York exhibition devoted to the art of the Dogon people of Mali. The Dogon are renowned

for their cosmogony. Their art evokes their religious belief that they were visited by extraterrestrial visitors called as the Nommos - amphibian humanoids from the region of the double star Sirius. Leon explains, “It was an attempt to imagine the music that the Nommos brought with them to Earth from their home planet, thereby influencing the development of our own music.”

Of particular interest is a selection from the almost unknown AFMC label which was affiliated to Matthay’s school and featured many of its staff. Also included are recently discovered unpublished Irene Scharrer recordings which add considerably to her discography. Belgian pianist Arthur de Greef studied with Franz Liszt and also became a close friend of Grieg, who strongly admired his playing. He was a mainstay of the HMV catalogue in the 1920s and this set brings together for the first time his complete recordings.

IMPORTSACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSDWinner of numerous competitions and enjoying an outstanding solo career, Dana Zemtsov is one of the most promising violists of her generation. Unlike other stringed instruments, the viola repertoire has not been as thoroughly explored. This colorful anthology of music for solo viola, which contains a selection of challenging works, helps to remedy that situation. Zemtsov’s début recording avoids the lyrical melodies and heartwarming beauty with which viola music is so often associated. Instead, there are tales of war, perplexed wanderings through obscured labyrinths, intense cries of despair, sour tears of sorrow, and at times an ironic grin.

IMPORT David McGuinness and Concerto Caledonia voyage once more into musical history, and this time the object of their exploration is Tobias Hume, about whose life we know very little. This recording draws on the two books of music Hume published in his lifetime, and ranges from capricious fragments of tunes that celebrate the simple joy of playing the viol, to potent moments of substantial emotional depth. Concerto Caledonia is Scotland’s foremost early music group, bringing to life the classical and traditional music of the nation’s history. This is their fifth recording on Delphian.

IMPORTLawrence Power is Britain’s greatest living viola player, the true successor to Lionel Tertis and William Primrose. Part of his mission is to perform and record music premiered by those masters of the previous century, including works by York Bowen, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Dale, William Walton and, here, Arthur Benjamin. Benjamin was one of the first Australian musicians to forge an international reputation. His creative output manifests a great variety of idioms and genres, and includes a good number of light-music miniatures, many of them infused with a jazz or Afro-Caribbean flavor. This album, which features Benjamin’s Violin Sonatina and Viola Sonata, displays Power’s remarkable prowess on both violin and viola.

IMPORTPavel Kolesnikov, 2012 Laureate of the Honens Prize for Piano, gave his Wigmore Hall debut at the beginning of 2013. Hyperion is delighted to present this brilliant young artist in an album of music by Tchaikovsky. Compared to his symphonies and ballets, Tchaikovsky’s piano music is little-known. It is generally of a much more intimate nature than that of his compatriots, and has more in common with the emotional subtleties of Schumann. The Seasons is a cycle of twelve pieces that takes the listener through the months of the year. Each piece also has an atmospheric epigraph. The Six morceaux conclude with the Thème original et variations, which is often performed alone as a concert piece, but is particularly satisfying in context, as recorded here.

“It is rare to hear a pianist so attuned to the sound of the instrument...”

—THE TELEGRAPH

[PRIORITY RELEASE]

IMPORTMarc-André Hamelin presents a fascinating juxtaposition of two composers who are not obviously musically related, but who are proved on this album to be a felicitous combination. Schumann’s Kinderszenen is a masterpiece and a staple of the concert repertoire. Each piece is as deftly and exquisitely crafted as anything in his more outwardly sophisticated mode. Waldszenen is another collection of miniatures, and Schumann’s last major cycle for solo piano. This deeply Romantic work is no objective foray into the woods, but a very personal reaction to an imagined landscape. Over half a century separates Waldszenen from the first book of Janácek’s On the overgrown path. Janácek’s subject matter is darker and the piano writing is more treacherous, but the result is one of the composer’s most profound and disturbing compositions.

IMPORTThis album featuring Carolyn Sampson and Ex Cathedra showcases works written for the foremost soprano of the French Baroque, Marie Fel. Voltaire called her his “adorable nightingale.” Fel held an entire generation spellbound at the Paris Opéra and at Louis XV’s court during one of the most glorious periods of French music. She inspired some of Rameau’s finest music and introduced a whole new level of virtuosity and expression into the French singing tradition. Her long, triumphant career is traced through this fascinating recording.

IMPORTIn a departure for the vocal ensemble Cinquecento, they turn to the secular music 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. The music is beautiful and sensuous, with the polyphonic arts familiar from sacred works of this period now put to the service of earthly emotions.

sixteenth- and seventeenth-century texts. Warlock was considered an authority on Elizabethan music and in the course of his life he edited over three hundred Elizabethan and Jacobean lute songs for voice and keyboard or for choir. Rarely have these works been so beautifully and movingly performed on record as in this celebrated album, featuring John Mark Ainsley, accompanied by Roger Vignoles.

FIRST RELEASE ON CD

DOMESTICThis release from Orange Mountain Music features the Dublin Guitar Quartet performing string quartets by Philip Glass on classical guitars. The quartet performed in Ireland with Glass in 2008 and later produced a YouTube video performing Glass’s String Quartet No.3. The video was seen by Orange Mountain Music and the label immediately resolved to collaborate with the group. The recital presents Glass’s quartets Nos.2, 3, 4 and 5 in arrangements by the members of the group themselves. The transcriptions are thoughtful adaptations that show unusual insight and understanding of the music. Orange Mountain Music also presents a new recording by the Sinfonieorchester Basel of Philip Glass’s Symphony No.1, subtitled Low, a work based on the music of popular music artists David Bowie & Brian Eno. Composed in 1992, Glass took his departure from Bowie & Eno’s beautiful melodies in crafting a three-movement symphony. This new recording, only the second set to disc, is conducted by Glass champion Dennis Russell Davies and offers a shimmering rendition of the work.

IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Mono & Stereo/ DSDThis SACD remastering from Praga’s Reminiscences series features pianist Sviatoslav Richter playing solo works by Franz Liszt. Richter’s concert programs often included major works by Liszt,

and his interpretations of these works often rivaled those of Horowitz, Arrau and Gilels. On this release, Richter’s powerful and important Liszt legacy is revealed in the best possible sound quality.

IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Mono & Stereo/ DSDThis SACD release, part of Praga’s Reminiscences series of remastered historic recordings, features music of Richard Wagner performed by one of his most famous exponents, conductor Wilhelm

Furtwängler. It offers listeners a musical portrait from a time when Wagner’s music was only beginning to emerge from a cloud of war. The glowing sound of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Furtwängler reflects the mood and content of Wagner’s magical music perfectly.

offering performances that present a careful balance between the music’s folk and classical influences. Included here are the 10th and 11th quartets (not the 13th, as noted on the inlay).

IMPORTDuring preparations for their 25th anniversary in 2010, the Ensemble Recherche came to the conclusion that the “theme” for their celebration should be songs of love. After discovering there were so few modern examples, the group

commissioned works from various composer friends. The response from the invited composers was strong. Thirty love songs are included in this set, but still more are in progress. Accordingly, the list of composers for this love song cycle reads like a “Who’s Who” of new music and the compositions are as varied as the personalities of the participating artists.

IMPORTFile in: JazzIn 1956, drummer Art Taylor formed a group called Taylor’s Wailers. Donald Byrd and Charlie Rouse were members of the working group that debuted at The Pad, a Greenwich Village nightclub on Sheridan Square. In 1957, Taylor recorded the Wailers for Prestige, adding the alto saxophone of Jackie McLean to the front line. This audiophile SACD remaster from Analogue Productions allows every nuance of this superb album to be heard more clearly than ever before. One of the first Broadway musical scores to be overtly jazz-influenced was Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, a tale of rival street gangs in the inner city. In 1962, pianist Oscar Peterson put his swinging signature on the already popular score, making it, in the words of one critic, “a delight to hear again,” and earning him a GRAMMY® nomination.

IMPORTFile in: BluesLucky Peterson is considered one of the preeminent blues artists of the modern era. A child prodigy, at the age of six he scored a national R&B hit with the Willie Dixon-produced “1-2-3-4,” which landed him appearances on both the Tonight Show and the Ed Sullivan Show. Following stints with Little Milton and Bobby Bland, Peterson launched his solo career and never looked back. In addition to his extensive catalog on Alligator, Blue Note, Evidence JSP and Verve, he’s also teamed up with such luminaries as Albert Collins, Etta James, B.B. King, Otis Rush and Mavis Staples. Peterson’s début on Jazz Village, The Son of a Bluesman, pays tribute to his father, James Peterson, who owned a blues club in Buffalo called The Governor’s Inn where all the greats used to play. Recorded in Dallas, The Son of a Bluesman mixes originals and inspired covers in a poetic blend of darkness and light, all supported by an irrepressible groove.

IMPORT File in: World / Europe / RussiaVolga is a project rooted in the Moscow music scene. It successfully combines experimental electronics, contemporary dance rhythms and Russian folklore. Pagan psychedelia, shamanism,

melodies and lyrics from ancient times combined with urban aesthetics and video art are the essential components of Volga’s performances. Some might say Volga is the sound of the Middle Ages erupting in our times. Others might object by saying that this is the third millennium speaking to us in the language of the Russian Middle Ages. Just as the central Russian river of the same name unites 200 streams, this band merges together so many musical currents and tides that it magically develops into a new kind of life-giving riverbed.

IMPORT File in: World / Africa / AlgeriaThis album by Lili Boniche, which enjoys a kind of ‘cult’ status in world music circles, is available again at a special price, with the added bonus of three previously unreleased tracks.

One of the cornerstone releases of modern Arab-Andalusian music, Trésors de la musique judéo-arabe features music infused with the heady aromas of the spice markets and the scents of the Mediterranean, here the rumba of Algiers, there the festive chaabi.
