Each year a small group of the Royal Academy of Music's most accomplished performers of song repertoire are selected to form Song Circle. Since its inception in 2004, Song Circle has given more than 20 concerts, including thematic programmes on Spring, Spain, Seduction and Farewell. Song Circle's annual Schubertiade has become a much anticipated feature of the Academy's events calendar. As well as regular performances at the Academy, Song Circle has twice given concerts at Wigmore Hall. This is Song Circle's third CD.

"A showcase for outstanding vocal talent at the Royal Academy of Music, this well-planned disc also offers an attractive programme" London Evening Standard

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 'Choral'


“Even if you think you know the work intimately, Järvi's interpretation will likely render it afresh in many ways, a precious gift from a major talent.” The Independent, 15th January 2010 *****

“The Bremen Chamber Philharmonic plays superlatively as in earlier releases in this series, and delivers plenty of surprises...There is intensity, disruptiveness and excitement here, and it is well worth listening to.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2010 ***

“With any good Ninth the prospect of an imminent onslaught should posit itself right from the opening bars, and Järvi's certainly does that...Without doubt a worthy climax to a very fine cycle.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2010

Ivo Pogorelich plays Chopin, Beethoven & Scriabin

Ivo Pogorelich plays Chopin, Beethoven & Scriabin


Beethoven:

Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor, Op. 90

Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111

Chopin:

Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 35 'Marche funèbre'

Polonaise No. 5 in F sharp minor, Op. 44

Prelude Op. 28 No. 21 in B flat major

Scriabin:

Étude Op. 8 No. 2 in F sharp minor

Deux poèmes, Op. 32


At the international Chopin competition in 1980, his spectacular failure to win the first price made him famous overnight. Martha Argerich, a member of the jury resigned in protest, claiming "Pogorelich is a genius!"

These fantastic performances are from 1986 and 1987, when Pogorelich was in his late 20s during his high point of his career. Unitel recorded these works with the artist in venues of particularly striking beauty (Vincenca, Vienna, Turin, Padua).

Comparing him with Horowitz, the New York Times once wrote: "He was an entire orchestra."
