“Hackle-raising stuff from Michi Gaigg. She offers resourceful thinking about the Fifth Symphony...Gaigg probes many a disturbing cross-current in this symphony. An unsettling interpretation, to be sure, but the rest of the programme, in more expansive sound too, ought to restore equanimity.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schubert: Complete Overtures
Prague Sinfonia, Christian Benda Schubert wrote his first theatrical work when he was fourteen and his hopes of success in the genre, never truly realised, were long lasting. He wrote concert overtures and music for Singspiele (Song-plays), in some of which he was guided by his teacher, Salieri. The music for the melodrama Die Zauberharfe (The Magic Harp) is better known as the Overture to Rosamunde, but evidence of his captivating vitality, tunefulness and theatricality is everywhere to be heard. Of volume 1 of the CD release (8570328) the American Record Guide wrote: ‘The Prague players relish these sun-lit and tuneful pieces and respond with great enthusiasm and affection.’ “It's especially handy for exploring the 18 Schubert gems, two hours passing happily in the company of charming performances from the Prague Sinfonia under Christian Benda” BBC Music Magazine, May 2012 **** | | Naxos - NBD0019 (Blu-ray Audio) Normally: $15.25 Special: $12.20 |

| |  | Schubert - Complete Overtures Volume 1
Prague Sinfonia, Christian Benda Revered for his incomparable Lieder, Franz Schubert was also an avid operagoer who yearned, largely in vain, for success as a composer of stage works. This disc features several of his less familiar early overtures, from Der Spiegelritter and Der Teufel als Hydraulicus (circa 1811/2) and his first completed opera, the Medieval fantasy Des Teufels Lustschloss (1813/4), to the Overture in B flat (1816). It is hard to believe that such accomplished and effective music was the work of a teenager. | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
