Formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music, The Heath Quartet is fast earning a reputation as one of the most charismatic British chamber ensembles.

A Palace Upon The Ruins
Academy, GRAMMY® and Golden Globe winning composer Howard Shore is best known for his rich and densely orchestrated scores for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films. This disc features a more intimate – and classical – side of Shore's music. The title work, A Palace Upon The Ruins, is a song-cycle, sung here by mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano. The texts were inspired by a story from the past that speaks of the healing of an unresolved trauma. Other works on the program include Six Pieces for chamber orchestra (featuring the Kronos Quartet) and Catania, a work for solo piano played by superstar pianist Lang Lang.

Beethoven wrote his first nine Violin Sonatas over a period of just seven years, between 1798 and 1803. The tenth was written much later, in 1812. From the influence of Mozart and Haydn in the early sonatas to the more complex language of the "Kreutzer" Sonata, these masterpieces perfectly illustrate the composer's journey to artistic maturity. Violinist Pierre Fouchenneret, one of the most outstanding young violinists of his generation, recorded this major cycle in three concerts with pianist Romain Descharmes. Their refreshing vision ignites the passions in the poetry without sacrificing any of the classical style.

Iván Fischer is founder and Music Director of the Budapest Festival Orchestra. This partnership has become one of the greatest success stories in the past thirty years of classical music. On this SACD release from Channel Classics, they perform Tchakovsky's Symphony No.6, which was premiered just nine days before the composer's death. The truly Russian mood that we associate with Tchaikovsky is also felt in the music of Borodin. His opera Prince Igor remained incomplete when he died, however the well-known Polovtsian Dances, recorded here, became a standard of the orchestral repertoire.

"It seems to me that Mahler has the whole history of music in his care," wrote Luciano Berio in 1978, ten years after composing his Sinfonia. Joseph Pons leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Synergy Vocals in this supreme masterpiece, whose third movement is a monument to the glory of the emblematic post-Romantic composer. A few years later, Berio went on to orchestrate a number of songs based on texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn (which Mahler originally scored for piano and voice), creating a symphonic backdrop tailor-made for a great baritone voice like that of Matthias Goerne.

"One glance at Schubert’s trio, and the miserable hustle and bustle of human existence vanishes," wrote Robert Schumann in 1836 in praise of the Piano Trio D898. He was equally admiring of the Viennese composer’s Piano Trio D929, most notably its funeral march-like Andante con moto, later to achieve cinematic fame in Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. Peerless interpreters Andreas Staier, Daniel Sepec and Roel Dieltiens bring out every nuance of these endlessly fascinating works on their period instruments, which include a splendid copy of an 1827 Viennese fortepiano.

This set contains the complete Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition – twelve albums comprising an extensive selection of lieder, accompanied by distinguished pianists and featuring booklet notes by respected music scholar Christophe Ghristi. He writes, "Schubert, in his lieder, alerts us to our condition as short-lived wanderers. A solitary voice sings of life’s torments and desires, accompanied only by that equally solitary instrument, the eminently self-sufficient piano. No theatrics here, but the echo, at last perceptible, of our innermost depths, where silence reigns, where all is weighty, and nothing deceives us."
"One of the mandatory parts of any Schubert song-lover's collection." — BAY AREA REPORTER

The special place of the eighth book of Madrigals in the secular output of Claudio Monteverdi cannot be overemphasized. Printed in Venice in 1638, this late, isolated publication by a 71-year-old composer who had long ago reached the peak of his career is a musical, aesthetic and philosophical testament. This glorious collection of music is brilliantly performed by René Jacobs and his amazing cast of singers. Originally released in 2003.
Bach's four Masses BWV233-236, composed in Leipzig between 1735 and 1744, consist for the most part of parodies and re-workings of cantata movements. As a result, they were long considered second-rate music. But listening to these classic performances from Konrad Junghänel and Cantus Cölln, it soon becomes apparent that Bach succeeded in his adapatations. Originally released in 2007.

Handel was 63 years old when he composed Solomon, one of his final masterpieces. This monumental oratorio depicts three famous episodes in the life of the biblical king. This commanding performance features Daniel Reuss leading the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and the RIAS Kammerchor, and an outstanding cast of vocal soloists including Sarah Connolly, Susan Gritton, Carolyn Sampson and Mark Padmore. Originally released in 2007.
Mendelssohn composed only two oratorios, but both Paulus and Elijah are probably the greatest examples of the form in Romantic music. Phillippe Herreweghe's performance of Paulus avoids the excessive weight and sentimantality of some modern renditions and restores the work's extraordinary dramatic power. Originally released in 1996.

Though lesser-known today, composers Alfred Hill and George Boyle enjoyed distinguished careers, both in their native Australia and abroad. Hill was known as the 'grand old man' of Australian musical life in his time. His Piano Concerto in A minor and Piano Sonata in A major are effectively the same work, the one being an orchestral expansion of the other. In addition to his work as a composer, Boyle took on students in New York that included such luminaries as Copland and Barber. The Romantic Piano Concerto Vol.69 features his Piano Concerto in D minor. All works are performed here by Piers Lane and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra led by Johannes Fritzsch.

Both composers were simultaneously radical and traditional — a combination that was born out of the periods of musical transition in which they lived. The program begins with Brahms’s lighthearted, almost Mozartean String Quartet No.3, followed by a selection of his emotionally charged lieder sung by German soprano Mojca Erdmann. The recording's conclusion looks toward the future with Schoenberg’s magical String Quartet No.2, which features Erdmann singing settings of Expressionist poetry by Stefan George.
