Jonathan Freeman-Attwood (trumpet), Daniel-Ben Pienaar (piano) “Trumpet Masque” sees renowned trumpeter Jonathan Freeman-Attwood explore his passion for expanding the instrument’s limited chamber repertoire by imaginatively arranging Baroque works previously scored for alternative forces.
In “Trumpet Masque”, Jonathan Freeman-Attwood and Daniel-Ben Pienaar take a radical new look at the 17th century with a compelling vision of repertoire historically far-removed from the traditional contexts of both trumpet and piano.
Through wonderfully vibrant programming and arrangements, this invigorating and warm-hearted chamber duo present music from Dowland to Purcell in an energetic, innovative and 21st century fashion.
The aim of this recording is to open our ears to a period of unequalled variety, colour, regional diversity and expressive freedom: the Venetian world of Gabrieli, the great pre-Bach North German lineage of Buxtehude, Jacobean dances and songs and the great G major sonata from Muffat’s ‘Armonico Tributo’ with its virtuoso and valedictory passacaglia, which appropriately ends the disc. “Jonathan Freeman-Attwood's playing is notable for the beauty and freedom of line of his lyrical phrasing, while the bravura is exhilarating. Daniel-Ben Pienaar's accompaniments are boldly supportive and well in the picture.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Sweelinck - Choral Works Volume 1
Netherlands Chamber Choir, Peter Phillips, William Christie and Ton Koopman “There is an infectious vivacity to this choir’s singing – a joie de vivre and a subtlety with phrasing and
dynamics that appears ingrained. A wonderful attention to detail characterises the work of all three of these
distinguished directors and,besides being a truly gracious and delightful tribute to Sweelinck, the disc is a
fascinating study in contrasted directorial approaches, with each maestro drawing his own desired sound and
style from the singers”. Choir and Organ, November/December 2007 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Glory and DamnationArrangements for Piano Duo by Heribert Breuer
Friedrich Thomas & Hansjacob Staemmler (piano) This new disc in the Piano Rarities series is an array of works arranged for two pianos by Heribert Breuer. He has chosen a variety of works ranging from J.S Bach to Max Reger, all of which, with the exception of the Mozart, are organ works. Breuer wanted to work with a broad contrast of repertoire from virtuosic to contemplative which is reflected in the title Glory and Damnation. His aim is to take the listener on an exciting journey far away from the piano literature that is heard so often. Phoenix Edition’s Piano Rarities series aims to fill those gaps. |

| |  | History of the Organ, Volume 2 - From Sweelinck To BachFeaturing Music by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Dietrich Buxtehude, Matthias Weckmann & Johann Sebastian Bach
Gustav Leonhardt, Bernard Foccroulle & Hans Heintze The organ is one of the oldest, most complex and most glorious musical instruments known to men. This four part series outlines the history of this magnifi cent instrument, ranging from the beauty of the sound to the wealth of music written for it, and encompassing not only the craftsmanship involved in building such a complicated (and often ornate) structure, but also the wonderful settings in which these instruments now reside. VOLUME 2 Focusing on the influence of the great German school of organ builders in Northern Europe, this episode was filmed in The Netherlands and Germany. With the advent of the Lutheran reforms in the church, the organ became an increasingly widespread and important part of religious worship. The development of organ music from Sweelinck, the ‘maker of organists’, through Buxtehude to the golden age, in which the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach is highlighted, is shown. |

| |  | Die Vögel unter dem HimmelHeinrich Schütz - Sacred Choral Music
John Kitchen (solo organ) The National Youth Choir of Great Britain, Mike Brewer Mike Brewer takes his 140-strong 'NYC' on a pilgrimage of Heinrich
Schütz's music.Their massed voices revel in the polychoral
magnificence of Schütz's soaring lines, complemented by Kitchen's
contributions on the powerful Rieger organ of St Giles' Cathedral,
Edinburgh.
Schütz would never have heard his music performed by forces such as
these and on such a scale - surely he would have been a strong
advocate of this astounding aural experience. “On the whole the choral singing is admirably disciplined and contoured. The most impressive passages tend to be the fullest homophonic sections which close pieces; but "So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ" shows that the choir is also adept at music requiring lighter and flexible singing.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 “choral singing of the very first rank” International Record Review | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
