There is a great variety of performers, traditions, and composers represented in volume 4 of this pioneering series. The pianists comprise the well known, the undeservedly neglected, and the tragic. One such is Rosa Tamarkina, a prodigiously talented musician, who died at 30. There is Liza Fuchsova, a brilliant Czech, who can be heard in a rare 1944 HMV disc. Lilly Dymont was recorded in Berlin in 1930, Marie-Thérèse Fourneau in wartime Paris, and Winifred Christie in London in 1921. Of volume 3 (8111217) Gramophone wrote: ‘a fascinating series… and brilliant assembly, which makes you look forward to volume 4.’ | | | (also available to download from $9.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | The PhilharmonicsWaltzes By Johann Strauss. Arranged by Schoenberg, Berg & Webern
The Philharmonics, the ensemble founded by members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, fill the Café Sperl with some of the most authentically Viennese sounds imaginable – the Strauss waltzes that Schoenberg, Berg and Webern arranged and performed in May 1921 to raise funds for their pioneering “Society for Private Musical Performances”. This is music the players have in their blood, and they maintain the echt atmosphere with Godowsky’s tribute to the city, “Alt-Wien” and a clutch of Kreisler gems, rounding the programme off with a new piece by the ensemble’s leader Tibor Kováč, based on traditional Jewish melodies and Mahler themes, “Yiddische Mame”. BONUS: How Schoenberg came to arrange waltzes by Strauss Picture Format Blu-ray: Full HD Sound Formats Blu-ray: DTS HD Master Audio, PCM Stereo Region Code: 0 (worldwide) Running Time: 64:20 min Running Time Bonus: 10:05 min Disc Format: BD 25 FSK: 0 “the DVD itself is a colourful evocation of old Vienna that admirably demonstrates the power of DVD to add positively to what one merely hears on CD...The five Strauss waltzes are proficiently played and idiomatically phrased...the whole represents an altogether admirable demonstration of how DVD can combine enlightenment and pleasure to joyous effect.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Marie-Josèphe Jude (piano) & François-Marie Drieux (violin) Orchestre Poitou-Charentes, Jean-François Heisser A provocative yet logical juxtaposition of two musical worlds apparently remote from one another: one of the key works of the 20th-century avant-garde, combined with the greatest popular successes of Romantic Vienna… “Here is a stunner...The Strauss waltz arrangements are brilliantly effective” Glasgow Herald, 1st May 2011 “the Chamber Concerto is not easily approachable and I don't think it is wrong to try and sweeten it with a little Viennese schmaltz. The title of Mirare's disc suggests that that is exactly what Heisser and his musicians are trying to do.” International Record Review, July 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Thomas Christian Ensemble Does bankruptcy have its entertaining side? In 1921 at least, to rescue their Society for Musical Private Performances from insolvency, Alban Berg, Anton Webern, and Arnold Schönberg penned adaptations of Johann Strauss’s most popular waltzes. The benefit concert and the following auction of their scores were very successful, and while the society in the end could not be the saved, the four waltz scores have survived. The Thomas Christian Ensemble of Vienna has now brought together these unusual arrangements for the first time on CD, together with contemporary arrangements by Manfred Trojahn and Hans-Peter Dott. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
