James Ehnes (violin and viola) & Eduard Laurel (piano) All instruments courtesy of the Fulton Collection 2008 Grammy and Gramophone Award winner James Ehnes pays tribute to the world's most celebrated violin-makers in this unique ONYX project featuring performances on 12 of the greatest instruments ever made. The Fulton Collection is perhaps the most important private collection in the world and contains many examples of the legendary names Stradivari, Guarneri, da Salo and Guadagnini. For example, the priceless La Pucelle has never been heard in a recording, and the Lord Wilton was Yehudi Menuhin’s last instrument. Ehnes performs 21 selections in a carefully planned recital programme specially chosen to suit each instrument and to work on its own terms. It finishes with a section comparing each instrument in an excerpt of the same piece, a unique opportunity to contrast the sound qualities of these spectacular instruments. Ehnes says of the instruments: “I didn't want to spare them a full workout. I wanted to select repertoire that would show off their particular tonal characteristics and push them to the limit and me to my limit as well." The DVD has the complete performances plus spectacular close-ups of the instruments and substantial interview sequences - Strads vs Guarneris, the importance of the bow, Ehnes’ relationship with the Fulton Collection and his preparation for the recording sessions. David Fulton also talks about his passion for collecting these rare instruments and says: “Ehnes is the only one who could have done this and is today’s David Oistrakh.” The highly collectible package includes detailed notes by Ehnes himself. CD: 78.31 DVD: 100 mins + extras |

| |  | Cyril Scott - Orchestra Works Volume 4
Paul Watkins (cello) BBC Philharmonic, Martyn Brabbins World premiere recordings The Chandos survey of music by Cyril Scott comes to a close with two world premiere recordings of the Cello
Concerto and First Symphony. The series has introduced many British music enthusiasts to his music, and as
Fanfare described ‘a wider acquaintance with Scott’s rich output is to be encouraged…’ BBC Music magazine
commented ‘Brabbins directs sympathetic and characterful performances… well worth any British music-lovers
time.’ As with the previous three volumes, the BBC Philharmonic perform, with Martyn Brabbins conducting. “The concerto time forgot - despite its Ravel richness - is lovingly revived. Paul Watkins sounds superb and Martyn Brabbins is an admirable exponent.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

The whole collection is a most attractive expression of Scott's highly characteristic style, all wonderfully played.
