| |  | Baroque Cello - Illuminations
Angela East (baroque cello) with Ruth Alford (baroque Cello) & Howard Beach (harpsichord) “The pieces on this CD have been brought together because they are commonly taught to cello students during the early years of their training. Few artists have considered recording these works as they remember them to be rather simple. Played with imagination, in baroque style and with a baroque cello however, these pieces assume a completely different dimension. I hope that you will be inspired and get much pleasure from listening to these stars of the baroque cello repertoire.” Angela East “Angela East's… brings to these suites and sonatas an uninhibited expressive style and a determination to present the character of each movement in the strongest, most searching light.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Bach - Cantatas Volume 43
Three Christmas cantatas from 1725 make up the programme of the 43rd volume in Masaaki Suzuki’s and Bach Collegium Japan’s highly praised cycle of Bach’s cantatas. “Bach Collegium Japan responds magnificently to such diversity of expression and contrasting forces. Peter Kooij is particularly striking… He's fearsome in the rattling concitato of the 'battle aria' (BWV 57) in which Jesus assures the Soul the 'Yes, I can smite the enemies...'” BBC Music Magazine, September 2009 **** “From the outset, the Bach Collegium Japan deliver these 1725 Christmas pieces with supreme vitality and exuberance. …Blažíková projects a penetrating radiance with admirable focus and impeccable tuning in "Ich wunschte mir den Tod"… a fine addition to Suzuki's distinguished series.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2009 | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

2 discs for the price of 1 Hyperion’s Bach piano transcription series, which has done so much to illustrate the unique effect of Bach on the nineteenth-century mind, has reached volume 7 with the complete transcriptions by Max Reger. Reger was described by his contemporaries as ‘the modern-day Bach’, partly because of his frequent use of fugue and other characteristic forms. His skills as a pianist were matched by his abilities as an organist—a situation that influenced his a profound understanding of Bach’s counterpoint. Therefore it is fascinating to see the composer’s direct response to his predecessor. In the young German virtuoso Markus Becker we have the ideal performer: he has already recorded the complete original piano works of Reger. As Francis Pott writes in his comprehensive booklet notes: ‘In adopting a balance of linear and polyphonic clarity with the full expressive resources of the piano and of virtuoso technique, Markus Becker respects the historic significance both of Bach’s original inspirations and of Reger’s transcriptions as documents of their own time’. “On each disc, a group of chorale preludes (16 altogether) is bookended by mighty preludes and fugues: in D, E flat (St Anne), E minor (The Wedge), and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, sounding pleasantly free of bombast.” Sunday Times, 31st May 2009 *** “Markus Becker is a heroic exponent of this obscure yet satisfying repertoire, less 'pianistic' than the contemporary Bach-Busoni arrangements yet setting the performer equal if not greater challenges. A fascinating addition to Hyperion's series of Bach transcriptions.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2009 **** “Das alte Jahr vergangen ist, BWV614, is slow and thoughtful, yet is made serenely beautiful in Becker's glowing performance. …the D minor Toccata and Fugue… is superbly articulated and full of colour, while we can hear the "organ effect" from the piano's sustaining pedal, generously applied. The result is just fascinating, and I do recommend you to try this collection. It really is rewarding.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2009 “Even though he is always meticulous at reimagining the sonorities in strictly pianistic terms, Reger's transcriptions are generally far more sober than the [Busoni's], especially in the chorale preludes which make up the bulk of both of these discs.” The Guardian, 10th July 2009 ** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
