A 5 CD collection of world renowned violinist Hilary Hahn’s greatest recordings. One of the most celebrated violinists of her generation, Hilary Hahn released her debut album at the tender age of 17 to great critical acclaim. Still only 28 years old, it is hard to believe the accolades she has already received, which include a Grammy Award and several nominations, and the large number of albums she has recorded. This collection brings together her first five albums, which were made for Sony Classical, each in its original format with full liner notes and information. “This is an exciting debut” BBC Music Magazine (on Bach) “Hilary Hahn delivers staggeringly assured playing” Classic FM Magazine (on Barber & Edgar Meyer) “Very strongly recommended” Gramophone Magazine CD of the Month (on Beethoven & Bernstein) “Her playing is phenomenal” Gramophone Magazine Editor’s Choice (on Brahms & Stravinsky) “Brilliant playing, vibrant and bright” Gramophone Magazine (on Mendelssohn & Shostakovich) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | German Baroque Cantatas Volume 1
Gli Angeli Geneve, Stephan MacLeod German baroque cantatas performed by Geneva-based early music ensemble Gli Angeli Genève under the baton of Stephan MacLeod. Gli Angeli Genève specialises in 17th and 18th century chamber music. The Bruhns and Telemann cantatas are rarely heard or recorded. Booklet includes full texts which are also available in PDF format by inserting the CD into a PC or Mac “…Gli Angeli Genève have assembled five magnificent cantatas from contrasting 17th- and 18th-century North German lineages. Telemann's Funeral Cantata is perhaps the greatest surprise for its remarkably affecting text-setting, lightness of touch in its scoring and supreme attention to detail... Gli Angeli's... account reaches the heights in the concluding chorus (is this and the preceding soprano aria as Bachian as Telemann gets?) with that master of the oboe, Marcel Ponseele, as beguiling as ever.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2008 “this excellent recording” The Observer “fine performances” Financial Times “…a very attractive programme…a well-disciplined and musicianly period instrument ensemble…I have much enjoyed this CD” International Record Review “exquisitely performed” Classic FM Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach - Harpsichord Concertos
The new album features some of Bach's most memorable music, recorded with one player per part. The concertos were originally written for harpsichord and strings, and Accademia Bizantina has returned to the original scoring to achieve an intimate dialogue between the solo instrument and accompanying strings. “Compared to Mortensen's blend of eloquent virtuosity and tasteful discretion, the playing of Accademia Bizantina seems hard and unyielding, though there are nevertheless moments of great beauty.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 *** “…Ottavio Dantone and his Italian colleagues provide beautifully transparent and balanced renderings. Most successful… are the slow movements where Dantone lets the music breathe with a degree of genuine lyricism.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2008 “...here is a triumphant vindication of the authentic approach from the Milanese harpsichordist Ottavio Dantone and his Accademia Bizantina. His performances are free-flowing within the confines of the language, and he is not afraid to indulge in expressive fantasy, notably in the cool, pizzicato-dominated largo of the F minor Concerto BWV 1056. He is accompanied by just five energetic string players - one to a part - but the effect never sounds insubstantial, and the recording neatly integrates soloist and "orchestra".” The Telegraph, 16th August 2008 “Directing from the keyboard, Dantone avoids obtruding mannerisms and keeps the music dancing. Any novelty lies instead with the Accademia’s abbreviated forces – five string players, one to a part.” The Times, 18th July 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“...while Lim's playing is staggeringly adept, there is little sense of his own musical interpretation as he drills through the more technically challenging variations...The ensuing Busoni-arranged Bach chaconne is more convincing, with its refreshing moments of expressive sweep, but Lim still tends to harry the louder passages mercilessly.” The Times, 2nd August 2008 ** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
