New Releases

[DavidW]

FYI the BIS Super Big Bach Box of vocal works will be an April release in North America, not March.

Are there pre-order pages yet?

[Todd]

A luckily (?) timed reissue.



Intense.





The Mozart VCs with Zehetmair are nifty.  Maybe if the box can be had cheaply enough I shall have it.



Typically, this type of gimmickry would gain no traction, but Mr Liepe has worked some (near-) magic before.

[Mandryka]

Includes Années Bk 3. Judging from the Angelus, she's got ideas! She uses a very old Steinway - same sort of piano as Edwin Fischer used I think, sounds wonderful!

[Mandryka]

The reference to clavichord is due to a transcription of the allemande from the D minor cello suite. The whole thing seems rather good  - old man's wisdom kind of thing - streaming now on Spotify.

Copland boxed set

[Todd]

14 discs.  The yen is nice and weak right now . . .



The indefatigable Ms Mejoueva just keeps crankin' 'em out. 

[Mandryka]

Two releases (one recent, one upcoming) on the Dynamic label, featuring the great Bruno Canino at the piano.


This has received a very favourable review by John France on MusicWeb Intenational. The arrangement, by the composer's son-in-law Felix Greisske, of Schoenberg's Wind Quintet as a Suite for Flute and Piano is intriguing, to say the least.

Quatuor Danel's current tour with the Shostakovich quartets includes a brand-new all-live recording of the cycle, to be released on Accentus.

DVD or CD?

I'll take that, too.  Maybe do an A/B with Ades.  Manacorda has his work cut out for him.

[Todd]

Yes, please.  (Don't know what's included.  Don't care.)



Should probably make it a point to hear this.  If any pianist needs to record both the Harmonies and the Annees, it's Goerner.



A twofer of no little interest.

[Brian]

DVD or CD?

Naxos directory says 6 CDs

A little more on the BIS Big Box:



"In addition to its 78 discs which include sacred and secular cantatas, the two Passions, the Christmas, Easter and Ascension Oratorios, the Mass in B minor, the motets, the Magnificat, the Lutheran Masses as well as songs and alternative movements, this box set includes four booklets providing essays about the music (in English, German and French) by world-renowned experts on the music as well as all the sung texts (in German and English translation)."

Is there any indication of the price of this Suzuki Bach set as yet please? I can't find any entries anywhere for it. Thank you.

Looks like I had missed it on Presto when I search for "Bach Suzuki". Thanks David.


Edit: I can see it on £285 on Amazon UK now.
