Recordings | The Shanghai Quartet
Vox Volume 1 has 13 of 24 works not tracks that do not also appear on the Brilliant set. Vox Volume 2 has only 8 of 31 works that do not also appear on the Brilliant set. Wonderful bargain release full of so many hard-to-find Romantic treasures. Highlights include Rimsky-Korsakov's little gem of a concerto, Lyapunov's Fantasia on Ukranian Themes, and the magnificent concertos of d'Albert track 26 , MacDowell , Hanson , Barber , Paderweski , and the gorgeous Moszkowski There are a clutch of other lesser-lights here, some derivative, others charming, as in the Arensky Concerto or the Busoni and Rubinstein pieces.
Of course you also get a pretty good version of the oft-recorded Rachmaninov Rhapsody and Franck's Symphonic Variations. The recordings are, in the best Vox tradition, a bit rough and ready, with some second-class orchestras but first-rate pianists. Some works are worse than others, but the sheer elan of the music usually carries you away. And best of all, you get to meet obscure masters such as Stavenhagen and Sinding didn't even knew he wrote a piano concerto! The lack of track names is frustrating, especially for obscure composers whose works are not easily found. As you can see in the comments section, I originally couldn't match the composer to track 26, though it turns out to be D'Albert there's a version of both concerti on Naxos as well.
However, if you can get over these enigmas and some less-than-spectacular sound at times , then you'll love this anthology. I have some of the originals on CD, so it was a treat to get them all in one collection. Keep the hits coming! After a couple of Google searches, track 26 may be by Eugene d"Albert. Tracks may be by Albert Roussel. Just this to add for the moment track 41 is as someone else has probably noted already Tailleferre's ballade, not Martin's. Evidence here, from an earlier incarnation of the recording worldcat.
Another super Amazon music bargain All excellent performances and, for the most part, very well recorded.
The Chopin Album
The only off note being as others have indicated the lack of composer information being included. A minor -- and only, I believe -- update to his list being the attribution for track This track is taken from a Turnabout recording. This music is the best. I can be hearing it for hours.

Faith Elizabeth Cummings Kindle Customer. Easter Rising is another great book from Hourly History.

When I first started the book, I was unsure as to whether such a complex subject could be adequately covered in such a short book. But, as usually happens with these books, the author came through in grand style. While most of the book focused on the rising itself, which was its main topic, I appreciated the connection between the famine in the s and the resulting bad feelings between the Irish and the Brittish with the rising in This is a connection sometimes overlooked Thanks for another well written and informative book.

Liam Viney andAnna Grinberg enjoy an international performance profile involving festivals, major series, live radio broadcasts, orchestras and CD releases. They spent a decade in the United States before taking up their current position as Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Queensland, Australia. Deep in the American South, a little boy named Sailboat lives in a slanted house held up with a stick.
His mother hasn't set foot outside the house in years, his father drives a car with no doors, his grandmother is in hospital and his best friend cannot blink. The Grigoryan Brothers will be performing the soundtrack live at a series of special film screenings across Australia in November and December. It is powerful and beautiful. It sounds instantly Australian, celebrating the abundance of our natural environment while also warning of its intensity and brutality. This is not a peace of tranquillity, however — rather the uneasy peace that forms after a period of violence and conflict.
Born in Adelaide in , Andrew Schultz grew up in regional New South Wales and Victoria before his family moved to Brisbane, where he completed his secondary schooling. The band liked the sound that trombone, flute and clarinet created, so charts were written by Jenna Cave for five of the songs for the album, played by top-shelf Sydney jazz musicians.
Sixteen songs in all: No Wind at the Window: Celtic and Gaelic Sacred MelodiesCatherine Strutt piano with special guest Chris Duncan Scottish fiddleThere is a quality in the music of the Celtic and Gaelic people that touches something deep inside us. It could be the home-spun folk rhythms that speak of good times with close friends. It could be the sound of a people who have been defined by dispossession, a sense of yearning for a homeland that can never be theirs. Or perhaps it is purely musical, a tradition whose core notes resound with the sound of the human spirit.
Catherine Struttexplores these themes on her new album No Wind at the Window. It was there that I encountered the great tunes of the Welsh and English hymn writers, and from this first early exposure, the hymns tunes have been stored deep inside my memory, and never forgotten.
She is well respected as an innovative and sensitive natural dance and concert musician and is a grapheme synaesthete, an individual who experiences numbers and letters in colour. Using this phenomenon as a tool, Catherine plays and records entirely by ear. Chamber Music by Ross Edwards.
Throughout a long and storied career, Ross has written music that celebrates Australia — its cultural diversity, its natural environment, and its connection to the vast and diverse Pacific Rim region. Perhaps nowhere is this better demonstrated than in his chamber music, which allows for rich, detailed musical textures as well as an intense, focussed intimacy. It contains four previously unreleased recordings and a number of others making their CD debut, as well as highlights from the ABC Classics catalogue.
From Intimate to Epic. Nowhere does his outsized brilliance shine through more brightly than in his keyboard works, and the influence that they have had on centuries of composers and musicians. Born and brought up in rural Queensland, Jayson Gillham travelled for hours to piano lessons in Brisbane, before shooting to fame in a number of prestigious international competitions.
ABC Classics signed Jayson for a three-album deal, and his debut record, an all-solo offering surveying music by Bach, Schubert and Chopin, reached No.
Soon afterwards the great pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, conducting the Sydney Symphony, chose to make his first-ever recording of a Beethoven concerto with Jayson Gillham at the keyboard.
