More Beethoven year reissues.  If I didn't already own the Shoji discs, I'd want them.

The Farrell box may be worth it for the Mitropoulos led Wozzeck alone.

Also, among big boxes, a 17 CD Gyorgy Sandor Columbia/Sony box is coming.

What is this expected to contain, and is it Japanese release only?

Contents are listed at HMV Japan.  I don't know release plans.

I did only find the description in Japanese, which I do not understand, and Google translate is unwilling to translate the text. But the set comprises 8 CDs, so five of these are probably his Beethoven / Liszt set.

Probably gotta have the Rubackyte DSCH/Weinberg.  Definitely gotta have the Abduraimov.

Also gotta haves: a brand new Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle from FFG and the Sinfonia Varsovia, and Prokofiev's War Sonatas from Steven Osborne.  (No images for those yet.)

Not gonna lie, I fear for the coming year. We are going to be absolutely SWAMPED with Beethoven recordings, old and new. And it's already starting.

Yeah and it's not like we need more. The market is already flooded with them.

JANUARY is gonna be a big month because many of the releases that would typically come out in December are pushed back to make way for holiday stuff.

so. JANUARY





By the way, note here that CPO may be solving its issue with releasing recordings 4-5 years after they were made. This was recorded in 2018 and they're getting it out 15 months later.



"In 2015, when Ruby Hughes discovered Clytemnestra by the Welsh composer Rhian Samuel, the work had not been performed since its première some 20 years earlier. Hughes describes the 24-minute score as 'sun-scorched and luscious' as well as 'intensely visceral', but in it she also heard echoes of Gustav Mahler and Alban Berg, two of Samuel's influences. ... Rhian Samuel assembled her own text, based on Aeschylus' tragedy Agamemnon and focusing Clytemnestra's deep anguish at the death of her daughter and her need for revenge."









"Taste the Best"?

JANUARY CONTINUES



The Widor album is 84:01 long and on the University of Chicago Skinner organ.
It's mystifying to me that PentaTone is releasing two different Beethoven 5s from two different German radio orchestras this season - they just released one with the WDR orchestra, rather than NDR, and Marek Janowski.
Braga Santos' chamber music CD includes his daughter playing viola.





"Tibor Harsányi is always associated with 'L'École de Paris', a loosely knit collection of expatriate composers living in the city, among them Martinů, Tansman and Tcherepnin. He embraced music from a wide variety of sources, notably from North and South America, and this enriched his own music's rhythmic vitality and sense of color. In his piano music, Harsányi drew on diverse source material, a free-spirited absorption of Hungarian traditions, neo-Baroque, the comic and jazz, as can be heard in the 5 Préludes brefs. Baby-Dancing draws on the foxtrot, Boston, czárdás and samba, while La Semaine, seven pieces, one for each day of the week, contains nocturnes of stillness, off-beat folk songs and a wealth of color and verve."



"Svein Hundsnes is one of Norway's most important living composers. He has written a wide-ranging body of music encompassing several vivid styles, moving seamlessly from tonal and non-tonal music to include jazz, rock and even funk. Hundsnes' sequence of Clavinatas – one-movement free-standing pieces with a symmetrical form that often include toccata-like vitality – embody qualities that make his music so distinctive. Often syncopated, they possess short motifs, intensity and emotional ambiguity."



"Nino Rota's 15 Preludes utilise melodic and harmonic explorations to chart music that is agitated and melancholic, but also joyous and comedic. The Fantasia in G comprises seven themes – folkloric, droll and ultimately heroic. A late work, the 7 Pezzi difficili per bambini is generous in its emotional directness."






And finally, man, look at this amazing artist portrait:

I need to get that Haydn CD, if only to have a recording by an outfit that calls itself the Poker Club Band.

+1.  I just checked out their home page, they look quite intriguing. What they are saying about using a harp rather than a keyboard instrument is very true in the late 1790's. I'm quite looking forward to hearing this one!  :)
