Everyone attaches particular importance to the music for their wedding ceremony. It is, after all, the key ingredient essential for intensifying the emotional level of a very special day which is to be shared not only by the happy couple but also with all their guests. Choosing the music for one’s wedding is an intimate thing, a second declaration of love between bride and groom. But it is also a bid to express and convey to the young couple’s nearest and dearest, who will be present with them at the wedding, all those feelings of joy and love which cannot be expressed by a mere exchange of "I do’s" and of rings. And so, whatever your musical tastes and temperament and no matter how you choose to say "I love you" or "I do", you’ll find music to suit you on this double album: from favourite classics to rare gems of the repertoire, from music for festive occasions to more intimate, soulful and reflective melodies, this compilation brings together the most beautiful masterpieces to help you make your wedding an occasion of pure emotion and shared happiness and ensure that you never forget the most beautiful day of your life. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

As the 19th century faded and the 20th century began, something special was in the air: the scent of decadence mingled with the thrill of the new. Moving from Romanticism to Modernism, creative spirits welcomed diverse influences – some of them exotic – and introduced new textures and colours to their work. Whether first heard in Paris, Vienna or London, the music of the Belle Époque was typically sensuous, elegant and perfumed – and full of subtle delights. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Madeleine Mitchell - Violin Songs
Madeleine Mitchell (violin) “…Madeleine Mitchell…clearly relishes giving her wonderfully lyrical tone full rein, captured in fine sound, while Andrew Ball is a perfectly discreet accompanist. Strauss's Morgen' makes an exquisite conclusion, as if everything before was merely an extension of the lengthy opening violin solo. When the voice finally enters, it does not seem the least bit out of place, and nor should it, for Elizabeth Watts's divine performance confirms that she is an exceptional young talent.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 **** “Madeleine Mitchell's playing is most appealing. Her tone is sweet and bright, and she and Andrew Ball are unfailingly sensitive to the nuances and character of each piece.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2007 “One of Britain's liveliest musical forces, the indefatigably adventurous violinist Madeleine Mitchell” The Times | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Elgar: Cello Concerto
“Natalie Clein's opening statement is confident and clean: this is an Elgar with pace and portamento, but rather thin on poetry. The upside is the delightful selection of salon pieces at the end of this disc. In the impish La capricieuse and the touching Sospiri, we glimpse the mature, distinctive artist.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 **** “Clein demonstrated the lyricism on which she’s building a solid reputation, her instrument … blossoming into a rich, burnished voice. Threads became soaring melodies, fragments made textural sense.” The Independent “Clein’s playing has an especially warm tone and smooth phrasing; her cello treats each note with the same love, and these qualities make hers a particularly unique interpretation. Elgar’s sense of loss is conveyed powerfully under her fingers, but with a gentleness that du Pré’s tempestuous-to-the-point-of-rough delivery never gave.” Charlotte Gardner, bbc.co.uk, 14th September 2007 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
