| |  | Scandinavian Serenade
Returning to the catalogue, at budget price for the first time, is the delicious recording by Marriner and the Academy of Scandinavian works. The Holberg Suite was recorded in 1970, whereas the rest of the program was taped seven years later. All of the recordings were made in the stunning Kingsway Hall acoustic. “This programme of Scandinavian pieces, slight though the items may be, is all popular in the most attractive way; and shows the particular qualities of both Sir Neville and his Academy at their best - the playing always alert, yet with feeling in the more deeply expressed pieces like Grieg's Elegiac Melodies ... The sound of the CD is absolutely first rate and the disc is highly recommended ... Playing and recording, in fact, could hardly be better” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Ashkenazy conducts Sibelius & SchumannRecorded at Cité de la Musique - Paris, December 2008
One of the most promising young violinist, Valery Sokolov, and one of the most prestigious chamber orchestras, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, play under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy at the Cité de la musique in Paris. This concert captures Sokolov’s collaboration with Vladimir Ashkenazy, an established conductor who himself has been a major soloist for the past half-century, in one of the most demanding pieces of the violin repertoire: Sibelius’ violin concerto. The producer Bruno Monsaingeon has followed and documented the career of Valery Sokolov since 4 years from the beginning of his career. This film shows a quite intimate view on Sokolov playing Sibelius` Violin Concerto. “Monsaingeon captures Ashkenazy, his superb orchestra and a very special violin soloist with frequent concentration on close-ups...Sokolov's violin playing requires every superlative in the dictionary - here's a young man to watch out for, in no uncertain terms.” Classic FM Magazine, November 2010 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
