Thanks very much!

[Harry]

Another batch of great Brilliant releases, and the much awaited Complete Baryton trios from Haydn, 21 cd's (49,95)
And the complete recordings of Hasse's cantatas! Poju will be so happy about that.

[Harry]

Volume III of the ongoing complete recordings of Frescobaldi's oeuvre.
And this fine recording by Herreweghe, Gilles.

[Harry]

And this Christian Ferras compilation from DGG. A must buy.

And what to think of this Cherubini recording, still one of the best performances of the SQ. A no brainer too.

Harry - I've been anxiously awaiting that Haydn Baryton Trios release - hope the playing is great! 

Schoenberg, Berg and Webern - String Quartets are due out in a week or so! These are 1968-70 recordings by the LaSalle Quartet - anxious to hear some opinions about the group and the vintage of the performances (and hoping that Brilliant does some brilliant re-mastering!)  - Dave 

 

[Harry]

As far as I know Dave, these Baryton Trios are very well recorded on authentic instruments, but since it is the only existing recording, its the one to go for I guess, if you want them.

Some info.


The group has, for several years now, specialized on the music for Barytone and Viola da gamba at the court of Esterházy - and its aim is, to make this little known facet of classical chamber music more acquainted to a broader public.
Concerts at festivals (also the "original places" at  Esterháza Castle in Hungary and Eisenstadt, Austria), Radio - and TV - productions and CDs with CPO/SWR and Cavalli Records show the acceptance of these efforts.
The musicians of the group have all a lot of experience with diverse period instrumental formations throughout Europe.



The fruit of the ensemble’s monumental work, the Complete Haydn Barytone Pieces soon will be available. The collection of 21 CDs contains all those barytone pieces from Joseph Haydn’s life-work, that remained during the centuries.
It is not widely known, but Haydn wrote more pieces for barytone-viola-violoncello chamber trios, than string-quartets or symphonies.
The barytone trio was a kind of ‘home-music’ in the palace, as the prince could play on this instrument.
The complete edition contains the 120 remained trios, a quintet, 7 octets, so all valuable notes that appeared in the academically compiled sheet music edition, including one-row long pieces too. Some pieces needed reconstruction, this work was made by Michael Brüssing and András Bolyki. Sometimes the score offered – in a few cases: it required – the opportunity of playing cadences, so the ensemble could not neglect this. Although these cadences were not written by Haydn, it was obvious to enroll them. A few of them were improvised during the recordings, the others were composed by the performers.
In the popular octets and in the quintet participates the Piccolo Concerto Chamber Orchestra (Vienna).

The project

The following works for barytone by Joseph Haydn still exist:

117 trios for barytone, viola and violoncello
3 trios for barytone, violin and violoncello
4 duos for 2 barytone (partially reconstructions from different sources)
1 quintet for 2 horns, barytone, viola and violoncello

Thanks, Harry, for all of the information and the link - nice seeing the baryton being playing - the top of the instrument w/ all of those string keys is as big as the performer's head!

Brilliant Classics used to have a few sets on early music, i.e. pre-baroque, Renaissance but I do not seem to be able to find them on Amazon lately.  Are they all OOP?

[The new erato]

There's literally tons of Brilliant rereleases of Universal opera sets. Check the mdt.co.uk March prerelease lists.

You must remember one thing with Brilliant. they produce one big swoop of all their releases, and when its sold out its sold out.
Unless you find it somewhere second hand, you can be sure if you don't find it, its sold out.
Rarely do they release a second time.

Has been released (in Germany - click picture):



BTW it seems that Brilliant is probing deeper and deeper into Universal's back catalogue!

Happy days ahead for us all!

Now all they need to do is make texts available online...  Especially now they're issuing operas.
Harry, could you spread the word?

[George]

Thanks Que!

I see that MDT has it listed as expecting to be released this Tuesday.

This set may be worth getting just for the JS Bach works.
