[Wakefield]

It's a tradition.

Every week a new disc of sonatas & partitas for solo violin:



Gunar Letzbor, baroque violin

[Opus106]

Don't forget Kristóf Baráti. (This is a licensed re-release, to be precise.)

Don't forget Kristóf Baráti. (This is a licensed re-release, to be precise.)

Oh, yes but we will just mention PI versions. 

Seriously, I think that Brilliant Classics set is a re-release of Baráti's set on Berlin Classics. Apparently, he has even a previous (and different) complete set on Saphir. 

P.S.: Sorry, I have seen just now you had clarified the point of the licensed recording.

Ahem....

Paging Que:

Ahem....

I missed it..     I didn't know Letzbor did solo recordings, or might this be a one off?

Anyway I'm curious can get in front in in line, before Fernandez on Flora (I'm hoping/waiting for his rec. to be reissued as a 2cd set..)

Well, well, well... Names considered, it looks quite irresistible. 

Mullova returns to Bach after the great success of her ONYX recordings of Bach Solo Partitas and Sonatas. The famous concertos in A minor and E minor are paired with the concerto for 2 violins arranged from the violin and oboe concerto, and the concerto in E for violin arranged from the keyboard concerto in D. To be released in May.

Damn.  Probably just a few days after I received my Dvorak/Stamitz-4tt box, I see this pop up at Presto's future releases pages:


Czech String Quartets: Martinu, Janacek, Smetana, Dvorak - Stamitz Quartet (Brilliant, May 2013, 15cd)
ASIN: B00BX2JFTQ  (works at Amazon UK, but does not yet appear at Amazon US)

I'm glad I didn't break the shrink wrap, because I was thinking of getting the old 5cd of the Janack/Martinu/Smetana after Jens recommended the Martinu recordings; but that old box has become rather expensive.  An FYI to those who have none of these but are interested!

[Opus106]

Also on the way is a collection of Renaissance and Baroque works for the Lute (and theorbo, and chitarrone), bringing together their previous releases of Dowland, Bach, Kapsberger, Piccinini et al.

[Wakefield]

These unique works -- the only ones for violin and viola in Haydn's oeuvre -- are thought to have been written in the late 1760s or early 1770s, the period during which the composer was employed at the Esterházy court. Little is known about the circumstances of their composition, but most of Haydn's works for violin at this time were intended for the leader of the court chapel, Luigi Tomasini. The pieces certainly tend towards being solo compositions for the violin, which is accorded the bulk of the melodic interest, with an obbligato viola part providing the harmonic support.

Accalimed violinist Federico Guglielmo studied at the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello in Venice, later specialising in Baroque and Classical violin repertoire, and has won prizes in numerous international competitions. In this recording he plays alongside Massimo Piva, a past principal violist of Europa Galante and the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto.

Other information:
- A rare combination, violin and viola, but one that challenges the genius of Haydn: his sonatas for this duo are treasures of invention and wit in perfect Viennese style.
- Haydn probably wrote these sonatas during his residency at the Esterhazy court, for the Kapellmeister of the orchestra, Luigi Tomasini, apparently a virtuoso on his instrument, judging from the demanding violin part, the viola supplying the necessary harmonic funding.
- Played by two of Italy's best known violinists in the field of early music: Federico Guglielmo (with numerous recordings under his name, solo and with his ensemble Arte del'Arco) and Massimo Piva, first violist of Europa Galante.
- Includes notes on the music and artist biographies.

Bruno Walter - Symphony Edition - Release May 20th

I only know some of his Mahler. His Mozart / Brahms / Beethoven are well regarded as well, aren't they ?

[The new erato]

The usual strategy. Release the individual series in smaller boxes and when people have bought half of those, release it ale in one box and make them buy that half once again.

I think I'm stopping all my purchases until everything is released in one single gigantic box. 

[Opus106]

I think I'm stopping all my purchases until everything is released in one single gigantic box. 

A bit late, but I still welcome you to the party.

Bruno Walter - Symphony Edition - Release May 20th

I only know some of his Mahler. His Mozart / Brahms / Beethoven are well regarded as well, aren't they ?

Personally, I think this box is worth for Mahler, Mozart and Brahms. The Mozart performances in this box is mostly mono recordings in 1950s with New York Philharmonic, which is superior to his remake with Columbia Symphony Orchestra in 1960s. His Brahms is superb, especially the Third Symphony. But I don't like the Beethoven performances in this set, which is too relaxed and falls to the comfortable and conventional reading just like many recordings of Dohnanyi, Sawallisch or Kempe. His Bruckner and Dvorak is good but not very memorable.

[Brian]

I still want the Gunter Wand box in that line.

By the way, coming in May:



8 CDs (and a ghastly cover typo).
"In addition to the celebrated Slavonic Dances, it contains a number of rarely recorded symphonic works (the Hussite Overture, My Home, A Heros Song), as well as splendid compositions for chamber and string orchestras. Besides recordings made under the baton of Neumann, it provides scope to other great Dvoák conductors Mackerras, Blohlávek and the rising star Jakub Hra. The set of orchestral works is rounded off by recordings of concertos, ranging from the virtually unknown Cello Concerto in A major, written by the young Dvoák, to the most frequently performed, the Cello Concerto in B minor. Supraphon has again carefully put together top-quality and time-honoured recordings of works performed by world-renowned soloists."

Well Hell's Bells, looks like it's back in slimline form.  39 discs doesn't seem like it's everything, though.  His Mahler is great, his Brahms greater.  His mono LvB (on United Archives right now) is some of the best big band stuff recorded, but I'd bet this will have the stereo stuff.  Still, this is mighty tempting.  One of the giants.  When, oh when, will UMG do something similar for Kubelik?
