The fascination that Johann Sebastian Bach held for subsequent generations of composers is evident in the many arrangements of his works for piano: those by Liszt, Busoni and others are profound interpretations by admirers of the Baroque master. For a long time, this remarkable repertoire was overshadowed by the originals, and we owe it to Alexis Weissenberg and Bruno-Leonardo Gelber that it now enjoys worldwide recognition. “Savour the stunning virtuosity of pianist Bruno-Leonardo Gelber at his 1960s peak. Alexis Weissenberg's rippling fingerwork in Nun freut euch and D minor Toccata and Fugue still amaze.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2013 **** |

| |  | Ray Chen: Virtuoso
Ray Chen (violin) & Noreen Polera (piano) After winning two of the world's biggest violin competitions in the last couple of years, this talented young player releases his new album, featuring x10 recordings. These are some of his personal favourites & include works by Bach, Wieniawski, Tartini & Franck. Strong press support across Gramophone "One To Watch", other classical music mags & broadsheets. “I was charmed by Chen's emphasis on delicacy and beauty in Tartini's Devil's Trill, avoiding the temptation to go for the wow factor. It's a preference he demonstrates throughout; in the Wieniawski Variations he generates tremendous power and control in the virtuoso passages, but then introduces a tone of sweet intimacy. [The Franck] is mature and emotionally developed.” Classic FM Magazine “He gives the impression that violin playing comes easily to him, even when the music is technically complex, but he's also a thoughtful player, able to captivate the listener...With Wieniawski Chen is in his element...However, the most impressive part of the recital is surely the Franck. Here is a passionate, uninhibited account, but also a meticulous one” Gramophone Magazine, February 2011 “this new violinist plays with a maturity that scarcely suggests someone still only 21...colours dance, moods swing, and Chen’s artistry blazes. Hurrah, too, for Noreen Polera’s suave piano accompaniment.” The Times, 5th February 2011 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schumann: Sonatas
After his earlier Hommage à Bach album, played on the same 1837 Érard piano he uses here, Andreas Staier is joined by Daniel Sepec in a programme of considerably later works by Schumann. However, these two violin sonatas and the Gesänge der Frühe of 1853 show no retreat from the composer's ideal: here too, ‘the poet speaks' . . . “Though Daniel Sepec's tone tends to astringency, his bowing is beautifully fluid, especially in the Second Grand Sonata. As accompanist and soloist, Staier is spellbinding. In works that seem about to topple over with ideas, fantasy is rooted in the most assured craftsmanship.” The Independent on Sunday, 8th August 2010 “Sepec and Staier give a fine performance, and the translucent tone of the 1837 piano by Pierre Erard...is even better suited to the Gesänge der Frühe...There's much to enjoy in the violin sonatas, too” BBC Music Magazine, September 2010 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
