New Releases

[Brian]

This is the furthest into the future I've ever seen a recording announced (well, aside from "Haydn 2032" I guess), but in 2017, Warner Classics will be doing a new studio recording of Berlioz' Les Troyens with Joyce DiDonato and Bryan Hymel.

Well, a production of that size does want lead time

Looks enticing.  I shall be able to compare Mr Hymel live and on disc.  Who is conducting?

[Itullian]

The most boring, much ado about nothing opera ever written.
Listen to W Tell instead..............

Splendid! More Troyens for the rest of us!

The thing I read doesn't say. I would hope for John Nelson, who teamed up with Joyce for Benvenuto Cellini.

Haydnistos will note the CD to be released in August.

And of course their early (incomplete) Beethoven cycle is missing, although that is the best I've heard by them....

I'm glad I have the Philips "The Early Years" issue of those recordings....

Q

I would not be so sure! CD 16-23 is Beethoven trios, 8 CDs, but the Philips box I have of the BAT's complete Beethoven trios (the later full cycle) is only 5 CDs. This was the first thing I noticed when I saw the listing.

It seems true of other recordings too. For example, why would they need 3 CDs for the Dvorak trios, or 4 CDs for the BAT Brahms piano trios, which were released in the 1990s as a 2CD set?

[The new erato]

This seems likely to be the only really BIG box I will buy this year.

[Todd]

Dina Ugorskaja's site lists her next recording as the WTC, slated for release in spring of 2016.  Something to look forward to, methinks.

[Camphy]

Stumbled across it on another forum, and as some members here are very interested in Pejacevic' music...
Videos of the performances were posted on YouTube.

Symphonies no. 22, 46, and 47 + Sinfonia 'Dissonant' from W.F. Bach

God I am so excited for this series

[Brian]

This is HIPper than HIP. Ultra-HIP:



The Re-Sound Beethoven collection brings the symphonies of Beethoven back to the locations of their Viennese premieres. Four of the six venues where first performances of one or more of the nine symphonies were held still exist today, as do the eight Viennese halls and theatres where the composer's orchestral works were performed in his lifetime. The orchestral forces of the Wiener Akademie corresponds in size and instrumentarium to those used by the composer.

The producer Stephan Reh strives to reproduce the specific acoustical qualities of each room.

Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher, written by the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger in 1938, is a fascinating oratorio. The text by Paul Claudel is constructed like a flashback, in which Joan looks back over her life just before she dies.

I'm listening to samples of this but the string section sounds uselessly tiny.

The first release of this cycle was great.

There's a Martinon recording of Le Cid on Eloquence.
