Lawrence Zazzo, Nuria Rial, Geraldine McGreevy, Tim Mead, David Wilson-Johnson & Curtis Streetman Chamber Orchestra of Basel, Paul Goodwin Riccardo Primo is one of Handel’s unjustly neglected operas, musically speaking it is undoubtedly one of his finest. The plot of the opera is based around the eponymous hero, King Richard Lionheart, who is on his way to Jerusalem to fight in the Crusades. The premiere of the opera took place on November 11, 1727 at the King's Theatre in London to celebrate the coronation of King George II, and then was not performed again until 1964 |

| |  | Steve Reich & Philip Glass
Ransom Wilson London Chamber Orchestra, Christopher Warren-Green & Michael Tilson-Thomas Minimalism was originally the word used to describe certain movements in the visual arts and design of the immediate post World War II period. Then, from the 60s, its use was extended to take in new developments in music, most notably in American concert music and specifically that of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Musical minimalism relies on repetition, insistent rhythm and gradual transformation. Basically tonal in outlook minimalism can be seen as a reaction against European serialism. |

| |  | John Adams
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra & London Chamber Orchestra, Simon Rattle & Christopher Warren-Green Born 15 February 1947, John Adams is one of America's most esteemed composers. Although his musical roots were in minimalism he has, like most other composers from that school, developed an orchestral and harmonic style that uses the rhythmic vitality of minimalism combined with a romantic accessibility.This CD is a wonderful introduction to Adams's music: it includes the light-hearted Grand Pianola Music of 1982; Shaker Loops, the last three movements of which have been used in a video game, and the spectacular and exciting Short Ride in a Fast Machine, which is exactly what it is! |

Bruce Hubbard The Orchestra of St. Luke's, Dallas Symphony Orchestra & Orquestra Filharmónica de la Cuidad de Mexic, Dennis Russell Davies, Eduardo Mata & Enrique Bátiz The music of Aaron Copland (1900-1990) is almost every music-lover's introduction to what might be called American 'classical' music. Either through the picture postcard that is El Salón Mexico or the fresh-faced innocence of the ballet Appalachian Spring, Copland is able to capture in sound the wide open spaces, the melodic freshness and rhythmic vitality that, to most European ears, has come to epitomise American music. |
