Emmanuel Pahud is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest flautists. He was one of the youngest ever principal players of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra when he was appointed in 1992. His innate musicality and extraordinary technique have put him high on the agenda for solo appearances in Japan, South East Asia, Europe and the United States. His regular recital partners include Eric Le Sage, Hélène Grimaud, Yefim Bronfman and the jazz pianist, Jacky Terrasson. He is greatly in demand as a chamber musician and in this context has collaborated with most of the world's top soloists. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schubert: Die Forelle - Trout Variations
“Behind impressive technical accomplishment is a mastery of letter and spirit that cogently demonstrates the depth of their understanding and supremacy in ensemble playing. Instrumental balance is always carefully adjusted, the double bass offering a distinct but not intrusive lower line...the music moves with an airy fleetness and meticulously controlled dynamics.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Philippe Herreweghe conducts the Royal Flemish Philharmonic in this recording of Schubert’s majestic and final symphony. Herreweghe is well known for his interpretations of early music and brings a special dimension to this performance. “This is a performance of the wide-open spaces: fresh, invigorating air; rhythms with a spring in their step; impressive vistas...[Herreweghe] understands that driving the Finale at breakneck speed is not the best way to generate momentum, and he holds the attention despite his observing all the repeats...The sound is wonderful: atmospheric but always clear and beautifully balanced.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2011 *** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

The 1974 Electrola production offers plenty of Schubert pathos, rounded off by humorous elements: it documents the Schubert reception of the past with a very prominent cast! The Schubertiade genre came to enjoy great popularity during the composer's own lifetime; indeed, one might term it something of an 'export hit', with such musical soirées being celebrated well beyond the confines of Vienna. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 8 & 9
Recorded live at the Philharmonie, Berlin, January 1977 “Giulini’s temperament, a combination of Mediterranean warmth and asceticism, was well attuned to Schubert’s last two symphonies...The “Unfinished” Symphony marries quasi-spiritual serenity to a natural sustaining pulse. The Ninth, played with all the repeats, unfolds as a continuous stream of music: Giulini reveals its lyricism and unhurried beauty.” Financial Times, 23rd July 2011 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schubert: The Symphonies Volume 2
Between 1976 and 1978, Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra made recordings of the complete Schubert symphonies for Decca, as well as some of the incidental music for Rosamunde. Other than the Schumann symphonies, it was the only symphony cycle this tremendous Decca artist made for the label. The recordings were all made in the Mann Auditorium and were all produced by Ray Minshull, who, together with John Culshaw and Christopher Raeburn, worked extensively with Mehta during his exclusive Decca years. 29 April 2011 marks the 75th birthday of Zubin Mehta and this cycle is being issued as a homage to this great musician in his birthday year. In addition to the Rosamunde incidental music, Volume 2 contains the breezy Fifth symphony as well as the two C major works – Nos. 6 and 9, ‘Little’ and ‘Great’. “Mehta's Great Symphony in C major, captured in vintage Decca sound, is tremendously satisfying, as is the refined and warmly affectionate account of the Fifth Symphony.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2011 ***** “This is a sunny performance, well-paced and well-sprung, with Mehta providing a distinctive and sympathetic answer to all the many interpretative questions which make this arguably the most problematic of standard symphonies” Gramophone Magazine (Symphony No. 9) “This is a magnificently recorded disc, the sound smooth and explicit, Rolls Royce sound” Gramophone Magazine (Symphony No. 6 & Rosamunde) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Giulini in America II – The Chicago Recordings
As the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first principal guest conductor from 1969 to 1972, Giulini was adored; from 1976 to 1978 he made some of his greatest recordings for Deutsche Grammophon – here they are, collected into a single box for the first time. This is the follow-up to our Giulini/Los Angeles box last year (4778840). Here are the complete recordings that Giulini made with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on DG – essential performances from Schubert to Prokofiev and Britten – many now being restored to the catalogue – and including his Grammy® award-winning Mahler Ninth. Capbox packaging - New liner notes by Bernard Jacobson in English, German and French - Sung texts in English, German and French “marching against the accord of Mahler representing psychosis in sound, Giulini found the natural dramatic grain inside an intensity of textural clarity. His Ninth is tender and oddly vulnerable, qualities normally associated with Schubert” Classic FM Magazine, September 2011 ***** | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
