| |  | JS Bach: Cantatas
Andreas Scholl follows up his much-praised Purcell collection, ‘O Solitude’ (4782262), with a project perfectly matched to his artistry and musical heritage. Andreas Scholl first sang the music of J. S. Bach as a boy chorister. Now the leading countertenor of our time returns to his musical roots with his own selection of arias from Bach’s cantatas - including one of the best-loved of all Bach’s vocal works, “Ich habe genug”. “Scholl's typically poised delivery eschew[s] the dramatic stridency to which some countertenors are prone.” The Independent, 6th January 2012 **** “His relationship with the composer's music remains intense, alert and humble: he has spoken of his own sense of inadequacy in performing works he has known since childhood. Despite being a superstar, the German countertenor's integrity remains intact. His account of Cantata BWV 82, "Ich habe genug" is spellbinding in its expressive simplicity and daringly slow tempi.” The Observer, 8th January 2012 “Scholl imbibed Bach with his mother’s milk, and here he distils the balm of two of the composer’s most intimate, uplifting cantatas, “Ich habe genug” and “Gott soll allein mein Herze haben”. Each underscores Scholl’s stylistic naturalness and lyrical fluency, showcasing the heavenly sostenutos for which he is celebrated – but the disc’s “fillers” are flimsy.” Financial Times, 7th January 2012 **** “With probably the most beautiful countertenor sound in the world, Andreas Scholl always beguiles the ear. But I found this Bach selection almost soporific in places...Best of all is Schlage doch with, of all things, tinkling bells. But this cantata turns out to be by Georg Melchior Hoffmann, not Bach.” The Times, 7th January 2012 *** “A coupling of two of Bach’s best-loved solo cantatas...provides a showcase for Andreas Scholl’s delicately refined artistry and ethereally beautiful voice. But his is a dreamily sensual and almost childlike interpretation, devoid of much in the way of spiritual urgency, and the tension slackens in the longer arias.” The Telegraph, 13th January 2012 “Scholl's highly distinctive voice, with its clarity, poise and quiet control, makes it an ideal vehicle for reflective Bach. The gentle rocking of 'Schlummert ein' (from BWV 82) would coax the most anxious 'weary eyes [to] sleep'...In the final, joyful anticipation of death, Scholl's lively facility is exhilarating.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2012 **** “Scholl's compassionate use of words and melodic sweetness in 'Schlummert ein' is the best recorded work he has produced for years.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

By the time he reached his mid-20s, Glenn Gould had changed the way the world listened to the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. By the time of his fatal stroke in 1982, two days after he turned 50, this daring and visionary artist had successfully challenged many of the most cherished conventions of classical music. Now, for the first time, the dozens of film and television programs Gould made with the Canadian Broad casting Corporation from 1954 to 1977 are collected in their entirety in Glenn Gould on Television The Complete CBC Broadcasts. More than 19 hours of TV specials, concert performances, interviews and discussions collected on 10 DVDs make it possible to discover what Gould always considered some of his most significant and original life?s work, most of which has not been seen since it was first telecast. Includes: The Subject is Beethoven, Music in the USSR, Glenn Gould on Bach, Richard Strauss - A Personal View, The Anatomy of a Fugue, Anthology of Variation, Duo: Gould and Menuhin, all four Conversations with Glenn Gould films, The Idea of North, the four Music in Our Time programs, and more. “This is really special. Nearly 20 hours of Gould's eclectic CBC programmes full of wit, insight and visual flair across a wide range of music...this is a salutary lesson in truly serious broadcasting that is both approachable and engaging.” Classical Music, 7th April 2012 ***** “Among the highlights of this magnificent collection are the BBC interviews with Humphrey Burton from the 1960s...The discussions on the future of recording, the demise of the concert hall, on Bach, Beethoven, Schoenberg and Richard Strauss remain compelling viewing and as contentious and provocative today as when they were recorded.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Beecham conducts Handel, Ravel & Strauss
These recordings were taken from live performances at the Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday 18th and Thursday 20th January 1955. Wilhelm Furtwängler was to have conducted these concerts, but sadly died in November 1954. Sir Thomas willingly conducted instead and the performances were given as a tribute to the great conductor and in memory of the friendship between Beecham and Furtwängler. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
