All tracks were recorded in New York City “Horowitz delivers an unusually expansive but structurally convincing account of the first movement of the Second Sonata. Another highlight is the grandiose performance of he Barcarolle.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2008 **** “No pianist played closer to the edge than Vladimir Horowitz. And here, in this invaluable reissue of performances dating from 1949-57, you are once more made aware of that elemental violence and caprice that could leave his audiences in a state of stupefaction, provoked and seduced by his charismatic force and wicked ways. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 | | | (also available to download from $9.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Victor Sangiorgio (piano) Domenico Cimarosa was the most famous and popular Italian opera composer of the second half of the eighteenth century. In the course of a brilliantly successful career he composed more than 65 operas as well as a significant number of other works. Although nothing is known about the origins of the keyboard sonatas, they are attractive, small-scale works probably intended for study purposes or for domestic performance. The crystalline brilliance of many of the fast outer movements is very appealing and the slow movements, although somewhat conservative in style, often possess a surprising expressive depth. | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Victor Sangiorgio (piano) Nothing is known about the origins of the keyboard sonatas although from their style and structure they appear to date from relatively early in Cimarosa’s career. These attractive, small-scale works were probably intended for study purposes or for domestic performance. The crystalline brilliance of many of the fast outer movements is very appealing and the slow movements, although somewhat conservative in style, often possess a surprising expressive depth. Of the first volume (8570718) ClassicsToday wrote: ‘Sangiorgio’s clean, even-handed, excellently engineered performances are ideal.’ | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Adriana Kucerová (soprano), Terézia Kružliaková (alto), L’udovit Ludha (tenor), Gustáv Belácek (bass) & Marianna Gazdíková (organ) Capella Istropolitana & Lúcnica Chorus, Kirk Trevor Domenico Cimarosa’s abilities as an operatic composer are evident in his large-scale Requiem. In this mournful work the soloists and chorus range from the mournful supplication of the opening movements, through vivid evocations of the ‘day of wrath’ and the praises uttered by the heavenly hosts in the Sanctus, to the prayers for mercy, peace and eternal light which conclude the work. Composed to commemorate the death in 1787 of the wife of the French ambassador in St Petersburg, its overall character is one of classical restraint. “The Capella Istropolitana is an excellent group.”The Penguin Guide “Kirk Trevor is in impressive command of his Slovak forces” Classic FM Magazine, November 2010 *** “The two women soloists are both fine, especially the shining-toned soprano Adriana Kucerová” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
