| |  | Wagner: Wesendonck-Lieder
Leading dramatic soprano Susan Bullock offers a stunning recording for Avie’s innovative Crear Classics series with a recital of songs which are linked by the theme of love and aspects of love. Covering a vast period from 1880 to the 1950s, the 19th century is represented by Richard Strauss in his youthful and flirtatious three early Lieder, and Wagner in his mature romance with Mathilde Wesendonck which resulted in the songs bearing her name. Prokofiev’s wistful and woebegone love songs are a fascinating complement to Britten’s Pushkin settings. Selections by the quintessential song composers Roger Quilter and Ned Rorem round out the eclectic programme. Susan Bullock’s consummate collaborator is Malcolm Martineau who first appeared on Avie in recital with mezzo-soprano Ann Murray (AV 2077). “Few voices of this kind scale down effectively in song recital, but Bullock has a spectrum of vocal colours which she puts at intelligent service of the text - and in Malcolm Martineau she has a pianist to match her sensitivities. …a marvellous programme.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2007 *****  BBC Music Magazine

| |  | Charles Kullman - European Columbia Recordings1931 - 1938
“Lotte Lehmann sang Tosca opposite the Cavaradossi of the young American tenor Charles Kullmann, fresh from his European successes. In those days his voice--which had real sex appeal--was full of bloom……” Arthur Bloomfield, 50 years of the San Francisco Opera “A great North American tenor who had an international career, Kullman is shown on this disc to have a warm voice, though not often one used intimately.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2007 *** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Richard Strauss - Piano Music
“Perhaps remembering the young Brahms's Op. 2, the 16-year-old Strauss's B minor Sonata has the temerity to involve Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. It's accomplished (though rhetoric and ambition outstrip substance), and underlining debts to Schumann and Mendelssohn, Veselka does it proud.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2007 **** “Veselka’s massive, full-bodied chord playing and emphatically sculpted filigree can be likened to orchestrating at the piano” Classics Today | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
