This new recording by The Philadelphia Orchestra and Christoph Eschenbach features a unique coupling of Tchaikovsky’s most popular orchestral pieces with two rarely recorded brass quintets by Victor Ewald, performed by the Orchestra’s outstanding brass principals. Both Peter Tchaikovsky and Victor Ewald were active composers in St. Petersburg's musical life during the same time and familiar with each other’s work. Esteemed by all lovers of brass music, Ewald’s Quintets are imbued with romantic Russian national feeling. This is the concluding ninth CD to be released under the “formidable Ondine-Eschenbach-Philadelphia partnership” (Gramophone), which since 2005 has produced discs that have been honored with accolades including BBC Music Magazine’s Disc of the Month, Gramophone’s “Editor’s Choice,” The New York Times’ “Top Ten Recordings of the Year,” and the German Record Critics’ Award, among others. “In Francesca da Rimini Eschenbach and his meticulously prepared band ride the Allegro vivo whirlwind with prodigious skill...[the Ewald quintets] are delectably tuneful and idiomatically crafted morsels, delivered with wonderful poise and very real affection by the Philadelphia's top-flight principals.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2010 “Christoph Eschenbach's approach to the Serenade is big and sumptuous...he [hits] the heights of the love theme [in Romeo & Juliet] with aristocractic aplomb and he always reminds you what a fabulously organised symphonic movement this is.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2010 ***** | | | (also available to download from $21.25) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Playing on period instruments, John Wallace and the other members of The Wallace Collection perform this highly attractive repertoire with the gusto, precision and grace for which they have become internationally recognised. From the opening "punching" of the Sibelius Petite Suite to the stylish solace of Ewald's slow movements, this lesser-known repertoire is now receiving the exposure it deserves. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

German Brass, Enrique Crespo "It is all great fun and well worth repeated hearings, if you aren’t in too serious a mood. The recording is close and clean. Brief notes are moderately helpful.
