Critics wrote “When you listen to them, you keep forgetting these are three musicians… It seems to be one heart, one soul.” Malcolm Sargent conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra. “The performances themselves are peerless; refined but alert with just the sense of delight in music-making these pieces demand....[the recording] is thin mono which manages to sound both muddy and clangourous” MusicWeb International, June 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | David Garrett: Legacy
David Garrett’s new classical CD/DVD is the Beethoven Violin Concerto - a LEGACY to Beethoven (and Kreisler). This is an opportunity for fans of the 31-year-old German-born violinist, familiar with his rock-inspired concerts and CDs to discover his first love – classical music. The DVD part is divided into two sections; first: Live In Baden-Baden, Filmed At Festspielhaus. Live in Baden-Baden shows Garrett performing with The National Philharmonic Of Russia, and being led at the baton by Vladimir Spivakov and Lorenzo Coladonato; a phenomenal performance. Second comes, Playing For My Life – a career defining documentary on the life and work of David Garrett following his meteoric rise to fame and the new recording of his Legacy album. Legacy is a message from the man himself that he has never really been away. Throughout his rock-violin crossover years, playing pure classical violin has remained central to David Garrett’s life and work. BONUS DVD – Playing For My Life Live In Baden-Baden Live Concert Playing For My Life Documentary “Garrett's full-frontal account of the Beethoven is technically brilliant but misses lyricism.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2012 *** “The Beethoven has some lovely episodes...The accompanying DVD has more interest than is usual with such promotional videos. There are fascinating interviews with Garrett's teachers, Ida Haendel and Itzhak Perlman, and a memorable account of the strains of being a teenage virtuoso, making clear the liberating effect of Garrett's move to crossover performance.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Beethoven: Piano Trios Nos. 1 & 7
With its inaugural season in 2005/06, the Cropper Welsh Roscoe Trio comprises three of Britain’s finest chamber musicians today: violinist Peter Cropper, ex-leader and founder member of The Lindsay Quartet, Moray Welsh, former Principal Cellist of the London Symphony Orchestra, and Martin Roscoe, one of Britain’s finest pianists. This disc represents their first recording as a group, and have chosen the Beethoven Piano Trios, for which they have received glowing concert reviews. It also represents the first in a cycle of the complete trios. “The three distinguished players on this recording given an account of Op. 1 No. 1 that would be hard to beat, relishing the rich mastery that Beethoven had already attained...they are marvellously played by a team who have been working together for six years, great minds thinking alike. The recording is super-rich.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2012 **** “Roscoe, his grasp of structure absolute, leads his partners in an interpretation of rarefied transcendence that also exalts the whole work. Personal rapport is close and the recording reflects a just balance within the ensemble.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

“Leon Fleisher's Beethoven Concerto No. 1 is compelling, lively, sharply characterised - it ranks among the finest versions. Concerto No. 3 isn't quite so convincing, but it's not far behind. Decent late 1950s sound.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2012 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Frequently in demand as a guest conductor, Yondani Butt has recorded and performed in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia and Europe. He has conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, American Symphony, Hamilton Philharmonic of Canada, Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de Mexico, Singapore Symphony, Seoul Philharmonic, Japan Gunma Symphony and Het Gelders Orkest, amongst many others. Yondani Butt received an MRA Gramophone Award in the Symphony Category 1995 for his recording of Glazunov’s Sixth Symphony. He had previously won the same Award in 1986 for Rimsky-Korsakov’s Third Symphony. His recording of Glazunov’s Third Symphony is recognised by the Glazunov Society as definitive and earned him the title of Honorary Patron of the Society. “In many ways this is a fascinating release, mainly because of an odd feature. To be more specific, although the conductor and orchestra are identical in both works, each symphony sounds as if it were under different direction.” International Record Review, June 2012 “Butt’s ability to convey Beethoven’s style is apparent in this recording, which juxtaposes two directions in the composer’s efforts...With such lively interpretations as these, the music reflects the continuous tradition that exists for Beethoven’s symphonic works.” MusicWeb International, May 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
