The Places Northern Italy has been variously ruled, over the centuries. South Tyrol, seen here, retains much of its Austrian past, with some regions predominantly German-speaking and others Italian. Scenes are shown of Brixen (Bressanone), with its Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace, and various historic castles, including Castel Tirolo. The Music Music for the tour is by Mozart, with two Piano Concertos, one written in Salzburg in 1777 for a visiting French pianist and the other composed during the last year of Mozart’s life, at the end of a decade spent in independence in Vienna.

| |  | London Mozart Players: Complete HMV Stereo Recordings Volume 2
Recorded in December 1954, Symphony No. 36, ‘Linz’ is the earliest extant EMI stereo recording of a complete work. This release follows on from the highly successful first volume (FHR05) of Harry Blech recordings, achieving an Editor’s Choice with Gramophone – “A thoroughly welcome reminder of the brilliance of Harry Blech”. All tracks are issued here for the first on CD, Symphony No.36 and Twelve Minuets are first releases in stereo. Recorded in December 1954, Symphony No.36 is the earliest surviving example of an EMI stereo recording of a complete work. “Kentner’s playing...is very strongly characterized. His tone is lucent, but with slowish tempi, allowing the music to unfold spaciously, the effect is of a dark lucidity...A souvenir of a conductor and orchestra that had something of its own to offer even in a city where the likes of Beecham, Klemperer, Boult and countless more were regularly plying their wares... It doesn’t sound its age.” MusicWeb International, August 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 23Recorded in 1957
This is the very first Philippe Entremont recording, made in 1957 with the Frankfurt Symphony Orchestra, conducted by his father Jean Entremont. Philippe Entremont was 23 when he made this recording and 54 years on, after hearing the new mastering, he declared “ I listened to the Mozart concertos recording and I felt an extreme emotion, I am really very surprised and definitely happy” This is the first reissue of this release since its original publication. “I can't imagine finer performances of these two masterpieces than those on this CD, recorded in the late 1950s. Entremont is profound, sparkling and passionate.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2012 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Mozart, Beethoven & Brahms: Violin Sonatas
“Remarkably clear recordings enable us to savour the warmth and passion of Campoli's playing. Katin, too, is admirable, maintaining rock-solid ensemble.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2012 **** “this release consists of entirely discography-filling material … The recorded sound is excellent … A warm welcome […] to this disc, which offers considerable rarity value to the violin aficionado” MusicWeb International, August 2009 “The live recordings […] show some of the ‘bel canto’ playing for which Campoli was so well known … The recording is very good indeed though the violin is quite closely miked, giving an intimate feel to the playing” Audiophile Audition, 28th September 2009 “The beauty of this recording is in the stellar playing, the sincerity of the musicianship, the straightforward sophistication of the interpretations, and the intimacy and high quality of the recorded performances.” American Record Guide, July/August 2010 “it is a great musical treat to hear these two musicians in this work [Brahms], especially their very expansive reading of the slow movement and the discipline and vigour of the finale.” International Record Review, June 2012 “These are compelling duo recordings … The three popular sonatas come out of the loudspeakers with stunning presence and immediacy. Recommended, and do explore this special small label.” Musical Pointers, June 2012 “in an outstanding programme, the great duo of Alfredo Campoli and Peter Katin play [the Mozart and Beethoven] with exquisite taste, refinement and velvety tone…[The Brahms] captures the magical intimacy of two great musicians making music together at home, and the results are spellbinding. Strongly recommended” The Strad, July 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | J S Bach: Orchestral Suite Nos. 1 & 3 & Violin ConcertoCamden Theatre, London-October 1966
Leipzig Gewandhaus Bach Orchestra, Gerhard Bosse “The Mozart and Haydn works are […] both for the most part enjoyably stylish with impressively sonorous, unanimous string playing in the former and many fine solo contributions in the latter.” Fanfare, May/June 2010 “Bosse is a fine soloist in the concerto...The sound is good for a concert recording of the period” American Record Guide, July/August 2010 “Bosse is the soloist and director and he’s an accomplished practitioner in both arts...It’s a performance of considerable merit...The recording is very decent, capturing Bosse’s tone with fidelity.” MusicWeb International, September 2011 “a performance of sturdy conviction that is characteristic of Bach playing at the time. There are solid musical virtues here that will appeal to anyone who yearns to relive this kind of approach to Bach...Mozart’s Divertimento in D, K205 is done with poise, as is Haydn’s Symphony, ‘Le Matin’ – perhaps my favourite performance on this disc.” International Record Review, June 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
