Lynn Harrell (cello) & Bruno Canino (piano) As he explains in his liner notes for this CD, Lynn Harrell uses the voice as his point of departure for this collection of encores. They are largely reflective pieces, with a bit of fun such as the unfairly forgotten Glazunov Spanish Serenade thrown in for good measure, and this once popular disc now makes a return to the catalogue, at budget price. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Vadim Gluzman (violin) & Angela Yoffe (piano) Following on from his Tchaikovsky and Glazunov violin concertos disc, Vadim Gluzman now presents a disc of virtuoso violin music by a range of different composers with a sparkling programme fit for any of those virtuosos of days gone by. Indeed, several of them appear in the list of contents in the unaccustomed roles of composer or arranger: Heifetz himself has arranged Fairy Tale, by Medtner, while Szeryng’s version of Halffter’s Habanera receives its world première recording with this release. Other examples of virtuoso-turned-composer are Wieniawski, Francescatti (with a Polka) and Kreisler, whose La Gitana fits into the tradition of virtuoso pieces inspired by gypsy music – a tradition of which Ravel’s Tzigane is of course the jewel. Here Gluzman performs with Angela Yoffe, his regular duo partner as well as his wife. This well-matched pair has been admired by the reviewers for their intense, passionate and powerful performances as well as for their supreme command of their respective instruments. On their first disc on BIS the reviewer on website Classics Today wrote: ‘Vadim Gluzman and Angela Yoffe push their collective virtuosity sky-high’. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Mieczyslaw Horszowski
Mieczyslaw Horszowski (piano) Andras Schiff said of Horszowski’s Chopin: ‘It’s as though he had written the music himself. It’s unbelievably unpredictable, and yet it’s completely natural, and comes from within the composition. I learned a great deal about rubato from Horszowski, because he uses it in a way that’s like Chopin must have done: he never loses the pulse, and yet it’s played with great freedom.’ Recorded June 4th 1991. “Schumann's Arabeske is played with a tender simplicity that entrances. Of the Chopin group, the B major Nocturne is an outstanding example of Horszowski's long-breathed cantabile…” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008 “…in Schumann's Träumerei - the perfect encore - Horszowski demonstrates why he was so revered by Murray Perahia and András Schiff.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
