Jazz Pop World Nostalgia CONCERT CALENDAR
Our first release of the fall season features a powerhouse lineup of big-name artists and exciting projects. In classical recordings, harmonia mundi leads off the month with a surround-sound SACD of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion performed by René Jacobs (p.11). This new version is full of surprises and is certain to be one of the highlights of 2013. The Accent label keeps the focus on Bach favorites with key releases by La Petite Bande (p.5) and Collegium 1704 (p.3). The holiday season starts off swingin’ with Harmonie Ensemble/New York’s latest, which presents two versions of Tchaikovsky’s beloved Nutcracker Suite – the original and a jazz arrangement by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn (p.9). Advent is the focus of albums by the Choir of Merton College on Delphian and the Choir of Clare College on harmonia mundi (p.7). The stars are out at Hyperion, with a new disc from cellist Stephen Isserlis (p.15) and the label début of the Orlando Consort (p.13). Valery Gergiev brings his fire and intensity to the symphonies of Brahms in the first release of a new cycle for LSO Live (p.19). Violinist Midori is back, débuting on Onyx with an album of 20th Century sonatas (p.21). Orange Mountain presents an unreleased collaboration between The Raybeats, a progressive band from the 80s, and composer Philip Glass (p.23). In non-classical recordings, jazz pianist Harold López-Nussa returns with a killer set called New Day (p.27), and the famed Swingle Singers début on World Village with an album of vocal wizardry called Weather to Fly (p.29).

Recordings on the new label Éditions Les Arts Florissants will be a natural extension and faithful reflection of the group’s concert performances. Given William Christie’s long association with the music of Handel, it is appropriate that the inaugural release on his label would be the composer’s opera Belshazzar, a work whose subject is especially relevant today: the decline of a once glorious society and the ephemeral nature of Empire.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] BACH Orchestral Suites BWV 1066-1069
IMPORT Following their acclaimed recording of the Brandenburg Concertos, Sigiswald Kuijken leads his ensemble La Petite Bande in Bach’s four Orchestral Suites. Kuijken has chosen to use an unusually small ensemble. Alongside the harpsichord, the continuo group consists of two violones, a bass instrument significantly larger than the baroque cello and which produces a more resonant sound due to its larger body and thicker strings. What is especially remarkable about this recording, however, is the exclusive use of truly natural trumpets, without the auxiliary holes often present on instruments used in other period instrument versions.

MOZART Complete Clavier Sonatas
IMPORT One of the leading performers of his generation on historical keyboard instruments, Arthur Schoonderwoerd specializes in music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. For his new set of Mozart’s complete Piano Sonatas, Schoonderwoerd has selected three different instruments, each of which provides a variety of tone colors and unexpected insights into familiar repertoire. The keyboards include a tangent-action piano based on Spaeth & Schmahl (ca. 1770), a fortepiano with uncovered hammerheads based on Johann Andreas Stein (ca. 1780) and an unfretted clavichord (model dating from ca. 1780). Schoonderwoerd’s witty and freely improvisatory performances display a greater freedom than many other historically accurate Mozart interpreters.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] BACH Mass in B minor
IMPORT Following two prize-winning recordings of works by Jan Dismas Zelenka highly praised by the international press, the Prague-based Collegium 1704 directed by Václav Luks turns to one of the great milestones in baroque choral literature: Johann Sebastian Bach’s B-minor Mass. This recording captivates listeners through the special charm, lightness and great virtuosity for which this ensemble is noted. Whereas a rather Protestant sobriety dominates other recordings of Bach’s great Mass, this recording is impressive for its more Catholic-influenced, Bohemian joy in music-making.

Wilde plays Liszt LISZT Mephisto Waltz No.1, Liebesträume, Tre Sonetti di Petrarca, Funérailles
IMPORT Fifty years after his victory in the International Liszt- Bartók Piano Competition, pianist and composer David Wilde – student of Solomon Price Code: A19 and of Nadia Boulanger – brings to the studio (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) a lifetime’s experience with the music of Franz Liszt. The diabolically difficult Mephisto Waltz No.1 is dispatched in a reading which overflows with personality and conviction, while Funérailles, too, is compellingly reimagined by an artist who cleaves to an earlier generation’s ideals of recreating both the self and the music in every inspired performance.

MAILLARD Missa Je suis déshéritée, Motets The Marian Consort, Rory McCleery Delphian • DCD 34130 IMPORT Jean Maillard’s life is shrouded in mystery, and his music is rarely heard today. Yet in his own time his works were both influential and widely Price Code: A19 known; indeed, the musicologist François Lesure (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) held him to be one of the most important French composers of his era. Who better, then, than Rory McCleery’s Marian Consort to give this composer’s rich and varied output its first dedicated recording? Their characteristically precise and yet impassioned performances bring out both the network of influence in which Maillard’s music participated its Josquin-esque pedigree, on successors such as Lassus and Palestrina, and its striking, individual beauty.

TCHAIKOVSKY Nutcracker Suite ELLINGTON/STRAYHORN Nutcracker Suite Harmonie Ensemble/New York Steven Richman harmonia mundi • HMU 907493 IMPORT On this recording, Steven Richman and his Harmonie Ensemble/ New York swing in the holiday season with a twist, pairing Tchaikovsky’s original 1892 Nutcracker Suite with a 1960 jazz adaptation by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. The idea for combining the two Nutcrackers came about when trombonist Art Baron, who had played with Duke Ellington, introduced Richman to a 1960 recording of the Nutcracker Suite in Ellington and Billy Strayhorn’s superb jazz arrangement. Richman loved it, and immediately decided he had to perform it side-by-side with Tchaikovsky’s original. This is the first time that the Ellington-Strayhorn Nutcracker has been recorded in over fifty years, and Richman’s fascinating and entertaining holiday pairing is the perfect follow-up to his critically praised album Gershwin By Grofé.

EISLER Ernste Gesänge, Lieder with Piano
IMPORT The composer Hanns Eisler’s life was one long exile, set against the backdrop of the artistic, technical and political revolutions of the 20th Price Code: A19 century. His journey spanned 1920s Vienna (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) and the Berlin to emigration to the USA, then back to Vienna after the defeat of Nazism and ultimately spending his final years in East Berlin. Distance, irony, and melancholy are the aesthetic corollaries that characterize the lieder presented here by baritone Matthias Goerne, their atmosphere often evoking the despair of those dark times. Also included is Eisler’s early Piano Sonata, played here by Thomas Larcher, a work which brought the young composer an admiration that has never dimmed since.

This recording, which pairs clarinetist Jörg Widmann with the Arcanto Quartett, shows these artists’ affinity with the Mozartian repertoire.

IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Bach’s St. Matthew Passion has been at the heart of René Jacobs’s musical career since he was a child. From performances as a boy chorister in Ghent to countertenor solos in adulthood, Jacobs has been steeped in the work’s rich tradition for his whole life. In a defining moment that comes at the peak of his musical powers, Jacobs leads a cast of superb soloists, backed by the RIAS-Kammerchor and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, in a definitive recording of the St. Matthew Passion. Offered in surround-sound, this deluxe, audiophile-quality set from harmonia mundi (which also includes a bonus ‘making-of ’ DVD) does full justice to a truly remarkable performance. Jacobs’s vision of the work focuses on the paradox of a drama that is at once intimate and theatrical. As always, there are interpretive surprises, but what will strike listeners most is the recording’s powerful emotional intensity.

Compagnie Olivier Dubois harmonia mundi • HMD 9909044 IMPORT The ground-breaking dance composition Tragédie by Olivier Dubois caused a sensation at the official Avignon Festival in 2012. In the work, Dubois submits the nude bodies of eighteen dancers to the implacable repetition of a mechanism that slowly gnaws away at their docility, pushing them toward an explosive liberation. Powerful and gut-wrenching, Tragédie pulls the audience headlong into a collective catharsis. An exemplary film by Tommy Pascal was created from performances at Le Centquatre in February 2013, and is presented here on DVD from harmonia mundi. The choreography is set to an original score by composer François Caffenne, whose music is featured in a separate, bonus CD included with the set.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] MACHAUT Songs from Le Voir Dit
IMPORT The Orlando Consort make their Hyperion début with the first in a series of albums devoted to the complete chansons of the fourteenth century’s most famous poet and composer, Guillaume de Machaut. This bold project benefits directly from a Leverhulme Trust project that will produce the first modern edition of Machaut’s complete poetry and music. Today, Machaut is considered the supreme representative of the Ars nova musical tradition that revolutionized composition and notation in that period. Livre dou Voir Dit (Book of the True Tale) is Machaut’s masterpiece. It relates a supposedly recent episode in the aging poet-composer’s life - his love affair with a lady some forty years his junior.

This album puts Dvorák’s B minor Cello Concerto in context, including not only the original ending, but also an orchestral version of the song Lasst mich allein, which is quoted in the concerto’s second and third movements. Dvorák’s first Cello Concerto, a little-known work from the composer’s early period, is also included. This version (in its première recording) is by German composer Günter Raphael, and is extensively rewritten from the composer’s original. For this fascinating program of Dvorák’s cello music, Isserlis is joined by his regular collaborators, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra led by conductor Daniel Harding.
“His playing is so free and agile yet so effortlessly accurate that one feels a joy that there is a cellist like him around.”

ARENSKY Piano Quintet TANEYEV Piano Quintet
IMPORT This recording presents two chamber masterpieces from nineteenth-century Russia, performed by Piers Lane and the Goldner Price Code: A19 String Quartet. Taneyev’s Piano Quintet in G (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) minor is possibly the greatest work in the Russian piano-chamber repertoire before Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet of 1940. Only the extravagance of its technical demands can explain its failure to establish itself in the standard repertoire. Arensky’s Piano Quintet is less monumental and less flamboyant, though not exactly short of fireworks, especially in the piano writing.

The Phantasy Piano Quartet displays Bridge’s early style at its most fluent. In his later works, represented here by the Cello Sonata and Violin Sonata, Bridge seemed influenced by contemporary trends in Europe, much to the dismay of critics at home, but Britten staunchly defended him. Also included are folk-song arrangements in which Bridge absorbs the material into his musical fabric, taking creative ownership of the melodies.

IMPORT The spectacular organ (and massive acoustic) of St Paul’s Cathedral brings this collection of works by César Franck to glorious life, played with requisite virtuosity by Simon Johnson, the cathedral’s regular organist. He plays his own transcription of Franck’s Symphony in D minor, a troublesome work which was despised by critics at its premiere. Modern advances in console control enable Franck’s orchestration to be used as the outline for a detailed registration plan. The Symphonic Interlude is built on two main thematic ideas, the first a gloriously noble tune that Emmanuel Chabrier described as “the very soul of music,” and the second an energetic peal from the trombones, with responses and modulations from the brass and woodwind. The two are developed and combined ingeniously.

[PRIORITY RELEASE] London Symphony Orchestra, Valery Gergiev LSO Live • LSO 0733 IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Valery Gergiev launches his Brahms cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra with this disc featuring the first two symphonies. Also included are the Tragic Overture and the Haydn Variations, Brahms’s first orchestral piece and the first set of independent variations for orchestra by any composer. The epic first symphony, portraying dignity and grandeur, was ecstatically received at its premier in 1876, and Brahms was soon heralded as one of the great symphonic masters. His second, with its joyful melodies and pastoral beauty, portrays a more relaxed tone than its predecessor. The Tragic Overture, on the other hand, is turbulent and tormented, with a powerful and magnificent energy. Gergiev’s performances capture all of these varying moods, balancing clarity and drive with emotion and subtlety.

CONCERT REVIEWS “As always with Gergiev, there were idiosyncrasies to his rendition of Brahms’s First Symphony. But they were all welcome. The dark colorings and strong accentation that hinted at a Russian flavour were fascinating. As was the bass-heavy final peroration that seemed to transform the orchestra into an Orthodox choir.” -THE ARTS DESK
“Gergiev struck gold in a superbly handled sequence of variations. The feather-light Mendelssohnian scherzo of the fifth was followed by a jaunty windband in the sixth, a gracefully lilting seventh and a spookily muted eighth before the St. Anthony chorale emerged with dignity.” -London Evening Standard

onyx
Augustin Dumay (violin & conductor) Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra Onyx Classics • ONYX 4101 IMPORT On his third recording for Onyx, Augustin Dumay is featured both as conductor and violin soloist. The disc pairs the deliciously good-natured Price Code: A19 Serenade No.1 by Brahms, an early work full of great (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) tunes, with early Beethoven – his popular Romances for violin and orchestra – one of which may have been the second movement to his unfinished C major concerto WoO5 of the mid-1790s. Dumay shines in both roles, and the Kansai Philharmonic once again demonstrates their world-class skills and burnished tone.

GLASS The Lost Philip Glass Sessions The Raybeats Orange Mountain • OMM 7008 DOMESTIC “The Raybeats went into Green St. Recording on June 4, 1982 with Philip Glass, Michael Riesman, and Kurt Munkacsi without really knowing what to expect. We wouldn’t know what we had until thirty years later.” So begins the liner notes to The Raybeats – The Lost Philip Glass Sessions, a set of seven songs by the instrumental neo-surf rock combo from New York City that arose from the No Wave musical scene. The Raybeats’ original line-up consisted of Don Christensen (drums), Jody Harris (guitar), Pat Irwin (guitar, saxophone, organ) and George Scott III (bass). New York City in the late-1970s and early 1980s was a place where the cross pollination of very different artistic streams was limitless. Three of these tracks feature keyboard arranged and performed by Philip Glass, and performances by Michael Riesman and the rest of the production team. The songs include “Black Beach,” “And I Do Just What I Want,” “Pack of Camels” and a cover of the band’s classic track “Jack the Ripper.”

[PRIORITY RELEASE] Harold López-Nussa Jazz Village • JV 570021 IMPORT File in: Jazz With roots in both Cuba and Europe, the thrilling young jazz pianist Harold López-Nussa displays an impressive maturity, which at merely thirty years of age will no doubt guarantee him a place amongst the greats. His latest album, New Day, clearly represents a watershed moment - the rising star refines his style and adds color to his artistic palette (listen for the Fender Rhodes keyboard), all to further charm his ever-growing audience across the globe. López-Nussa’s music is an intoxicating blend of lush melodies and quicksilver rhythms that owes as much to the distinguished school of Cuban piano as to the pianist’s innate virtuosity, which has been cultivated under the influence of such great jazzmen as Keith Jarrett and Wayne Shorter.

IMPORT File in: Jazz From the banks of the Marne to the Mississippi Delta, the fiery and provocative music concocted Price Code: A23 by Dominique Cravic and Didier Roussin (Suggested Retail Price: $23.98) (working under the band name Les Primitifs du Futur) was inspired by the years when pop music in Paris – the music played in dancehalls called bals musettes – was intermixed with the music of many cultures. The sound is traditional, with tints of jazz and beguine, rocked by gypsy and Italian accents. This release combines Cocktail d’Amour, the group’s first album (which established the band’s international reputation) with Bluestory & The New Blue 4, which features exclusive tracks taken from Cravic’s personal tapes.

Having made her mark singing as a lead singer of the award-winning She’koyokh Klezmer Ensemble and as an opening act for Sezen Aksu and Yasmin Levy, Aslan is ready to take the stage as a star in her own right.

Though very different creative languages – Indian music communicates emotion through pitch nuance and elaborate metric foundations, whereas European music relies on simpler meters and melodies in order to convey emotion through harmonic progressions – these two traditions have diversified each other significantly ever since the British Raj, with results that are as complicated as they are beautiful.
