Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Signum Records
An album combining works by Schubert, Piazolla and Lintinen, cellist Trey Lee is joined by the English Chamber Orchestra to perform compositions embracing the effects and impacts of climate change on both the environment and society. The album has two world premiere recordings of new arrangements for both cello and piano, and cello and orchestra by Trey Lee. “With the cello as a platform, I seek a sober yet trenchant means to tell the story of our seasons, and concurrently, create a musical narrative to account for how this crisis unfolds. This album is a journey across our world from the past to the present, and finally, to an increasingly plausible future through the prism of works by three composers from three eras.” (Trey Lee)

Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is so familiar to us today that it is hard to imagine how confusing it was to the first listeners because of its novelty. In contrast to “Faraway Light”, the first of the Lithuanian’s two violin concertos Pēteris Vasks: the work – which pits human madness against the eternal glitter of distant stars – seduces at first glance, effortlessly charms the ear and has established itself as a classic of our time.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed his Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, on 10 August 1788. The longest and last symphony that he composed, it is regarded by many critics as among the greatest symphonies in classical music. The work is nicknamed the Jupiter Symphony, probably coined by the impresario Johann Peter Salomon.

In an album of world-premiere recordings, Ben Parry conducts London Voices and the English Chamber Orchestra in choral music by British composer Jonathan Rutherford.
One of the first students to attend the Yehudi Menuhin School, Jonathan Rutherford went on to study with Lennox Berkeley, Harrison Birtwistle, Nadia Boulanger and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Rutherford’s choral music embraces sacred and secular texts ranging from the Bible to Oscar Wilde. This release features Rutherford’s setting of Psalm 13 for choir and strings, in which lamentation gives way to peace; The Artist and The Master, in which he adds musical layers to Wilde’s spiritual storytelling; and the elegiac Final Parting, to words by Julie Rutherford. The release ends with the good-humoured Four Toasts, composed during Rutherford’s teen years and later revised and orchestrated.

Sonya Bach and English Chamber Orchestra – Sonya Bach plays JS Bach (2017)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:42:59 minutes | 1,72 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © RUBICON
A virtuoso harpsichordist and organist, it is remarkable that J.S. Bach composed only one original work for keyboard and orchestra. The fifth Brandenburg Concerto, with its huge sixty-five bar cadenza in the first movement, created the blueprint for all piano concertos that followed. However, Bach the great arranger mined his other concertos to create seven more keyboard works (No.6, omitted here, is for keyboard, flutes and strings). Bach performed these concertos at social gatherings of the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig, directing from the keyboard. This program from Korean pianist Sonya Bach and the English Chamber Orchestra showcases not only Bach’s ability as a player, but also the composer’s genius as an arranger.

Henryk Szeryng & English Chamber Orchestra – Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:21:56 minutes | 1,58 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Decca Music Group Ltd.
When Henryk Szeryng died in the spring of 1988 at the age of 69, the world lost one of the great aristocrats of the violin. A patrician in his bearing, rather like Heifetz, his gestures restricted to what is necessary, Szeryng’s fidelity to the score can be heard in his recordings for Philips (the label with which he was most closely associated) and for Mercury and Deutsche Grammophon.
At the same time, as decried by Rubinstein, who had been so influential in encouraging him to establish an international career, “Real music lovers want emotion – great moments – which Szeryng’s playing gives them.”

In the 250 years since the death of Handel, the Organ Concerto of Francis Poulenc is the only work of its kind which has established a place in the standard concert repertoire. This is an extraordinary situation in itself, and it becomes even more extraordinary on closer inspection, for this was an uncharacteristic work composed for an unexpected medium by the most unlikely composer….

“Bonynge leads a team … which not only conveys jollity but which sings and plays as though full opera house applause is to be expected a the end of each number … The ECO playing … has a refinement and stylishness which makes all the difference … Pavarotti has a Gigli -like quality in characterisation and this suits him ideally for the role of the simple, devoted Nemorino … you should readily be won over by the sheer exuberance, vocal as well as dramatic, that Sutherland brings to the role. It is a joy to the ear to have well- loved music treated to extra vocal splendours at both ends of the soprano register.” –Gramophone
