The Armonico Consort return to disc on Signum (following their highly-regarded Naked Byrd CD series) with a new disc celebrating the glorious combination of soprano and trumpet in baroque music – featuring the soaring talents of Elin Manahan Thomas and Crispian Steele-Perkins. Widely-praised for their imaginative and inventive programming, this disc features works by JS Bach (Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen), GP Telemann (Trumpet Concerto in D major), Alessandro Scarlatti (Su le sponde del Tebro) and a special compilation of works by Handel devised by Crispian Steele-Perkins. “The tone is immediately set by Crispian Steele-Perkins' trilling trumpet on
Bach's "Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen", which also features quite thrilling
counterpoints between him and soprano Elin Manahan Thomas...[The Scarlatti's] most affecting passage is "Infelici miei lumi", where Thomas's heartbreaking vocal is borne on a haunting meniscus of strings.” The Independent, 28th July 2012 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Harry Mortimer: Man O'Brass
Cathedral Brass, London Brass Players & Men O’ Brass Harry Mortimer’s name is synonymous with the brass band movement and he was hugely responsible for bringing its music to a larger audience. He achieved this, in particular, through the many concerts and tours he made with his massed bands. Tragically, there are very few Mortimer CDs available today and this Heritage release, featuring three of his ensembles, attempts to redress the balance. | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

| |  | John Kitchen plays the Organ of the Usher Hall
The first recording of the newly refurbished Norman & Beard concert organ in Edinburgh's Usher Hall, built in 1914. In an eclectic selection of repertoire ranging from transcriptions of popular orchestral works to Liszt's tortuous Weinen, Klagen, internationally acclaimed organist John Kitchen demonstrates the instrument's sonic versatility and brilliance of tone. "Kitchen brings rhythmic swagger and élan…The great Edwardian, Elgar, is represented by the Larghetto from his Serenade for Strings, giving Kitchen the chance to demonstrate the organ's quasi-orchestral strings, before letting rip in the celebrated 'Nimrod' from Enigma Variations." London Evening Standard, May 2004 “Kitchen leaves no stone unturned in his search for colour, and reveals how close this type of instrument is to its cousin, the theatre organ. The Walton Popular Song and Hollins Triumphal March see the organ in its natural habitat and Kitchen's playing is instinctive and full of pizzazz.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2004 **** “Built in 1914, the monumental organ in the Usher Hall, Edinburgh has been restored to its former Edwardian glory. City Organist John Kitchen celebrates the aesthetic of that period. Three Handel marches are delivered in grand style, with irrepressible brio. Kitchen brings rhythmic swagger and élan to Hollins’ Triumphal March (complete with carillon), Walton’s Orb and Sceptre and Bach’s “St Anne” Prelude and Fugue.” Evening Standard “Alfred Hollins’s Triumphal March. Elgar’s Nimrod and marches by Handel are atmospherically rendered, and real expressive depth achieved in Bach’s monumental St Anne Fugue and Liszt’s Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen. Arrangements of Walton’s Popular Song (from Façade) and Orb and Sceptre march are delightfully contrasted.” Sunday Times, 19th April 2009 *** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
