| |  | The Journey
“…a nicely balanced and entertaining recital disc… the performances… are never less than interesting, and at best exquisite. Best of all is Fleisher's Bach. The Chromatic Fantasy is a compelling journey in Fleisher's hands, after which the picking out of individual voices in the Fugue is achieved with great subtlety and clarity.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2006 ***** “…one performance stands out… Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue. …Fleisher… offers a long, searching experience of the loftiness behind Bach's structural scheme. The sense of a personal communion that Fleisher seems always to aim for is very marked here; and almost so in Chopin's Berceuse where introspection is not expressed through maudlin sentimentality.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2006 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

Salzburg Festival live 1957 "And so she plays three choice piano sonatas: Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.And on each occasion she presents not only the form and outward garb of the piece but also its spiritual form, its soul and its idea. She offers what is essential and intrinsic to the work, what exists behind the notes on the printed page and what is accessible only to the elect."

“I had already known and admired Idomeneo, Così fan tutte, and Die Zauberflöte, but La clemenza di Tito was new to me: happily it is quite up to the excellent standard of the others, all of them notable for the clarity of the period-instrument sound and for a production wholly appropriate to the tiny Drottningholm space.” Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Recorded live at the Konzerthaus, Vienna, 1–2 September 1987 (Clarinet Concerto) - At the Großer Musikvereinssaal, Vienna,
1–4 October 1988 (Symphony) “What is at once evident is the truth of Bernstein's 'love-affair' with the Vienna Philharmonic. The rapport in these performances is almost tangible and probably was visible. They phrase lovingly for him, they produce a soft and caressing piano string tone [...] and the woodwind are mellifluous indeed. I like these interpretations. They are so musical and so tuned in to Mozart's genius.” Gramophone Magazine “[Schmidl's] mellow but patrician contribution, using a modern clarinet, is smoothly articulate and very warm and musical.” Penguin Guide, 2010 edition **/*** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

This release was Leon McCawley's personal tribute to Mozart in the composer’s 250th birthday year - a new recording of the complete piano sonatas. Leon’s acute sensitivity and deeply committed interpretations illuminate the precision, beauty, drama and tension of Mozart’s radiant musical language; his inspiration for this recording was Mozart-specialist Nina Milkina, his long-time cherished mentor and muse. Mozart perfected the sonata form with infinite purity and wisdom, and Leon honours the scores in every way possible, allowing Mozart’s many-faceted character to shine through. Prize-winner of the International Beethoven Piano Competition in Vienna and the Leeds International Competition, Leon’s previous Avie releases – a double disc of works by Schumann (AV 0029) and a three-CD set of the world premiere recording of the complete solo piano works by Hans Gál (AV 2064) – have both been honoured with an Editor’s Choice from The Gramophone. His concertising has taken him around the globe, in recent seasons to the Queen Elizabeth Hall (International Piano Series) and Wigmore Hall in London, the Philharmonie and Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Prinzregententheater in Munich, the Musikverein in Vienna, Tonhalle in Zurich, Prague Rudolfinum and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center. Leon’s 5-CD Mozart Sonata set is competitively priced and – with the inclusion of the A minor Rondo, Eine Kleine Gigue, Menuett in D, and B minor Adagio – boasts an added value not offered with any other available version. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
