Orchestra of St. Luke's, Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Järvi, Leonard Slatkin, Simon Rattle & Dennis Russell Davies Like Gershwin before him, Bernstein (1918-1990) composed music for the concert hall and for musical theatre. Through the Broadway musical West Side Story his name reached a far larger audience than that of virtually every other modern American composer, with the possible exception of Gershwin himself.The pieces on this disc illustrate Bernstein's work in the theatre. Four of the works, the dance episodes from On the Town, the overture to Candide, the suite from West Side Story and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, were written for the Broadway stage; Facsimile and On the Town are both ballet scores, Mass is a theatre piece for singers, players and dancers and what should have been a purely jazz piece, the Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, ended up being incorporated into the musical comedy Wonderful Town. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Prelude, Fnugg and Riffs
Øystein Baadsvik (tuba) Swedish Wind Ensemble, Christian Lindberg This disc presents a highly varied programme centred on the combination of solo tuba and wind band. It covers a wide spectrum of styles, from the Concerto by Boris Diev (b. 1924) – a leading figure within the great Russian wind orchestra tradition – to Swedish composer Fredrik Högberg’s (b.1971) wisecracking and effect-laden Trolltuba, a re-telling of the folk tale Three Billy Goats Gruff. A highlight on the disc is tubaist/composer Baadsvik’s own piece, the unique Fnugg Blue, a highly enjoyable showcase for pioneering tuba techniques – including percussive effects and multiphonics “Bernstein's Prelude, Fugue and Riffs at last seems to have stood the test of time… Otherwise the disc is strictly for aficionados of performance rather than composition.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | The Jazz Album - A Tribute to the Jazz Age
Peter Donohoe, Michael Collins, Harvey and the Wallbangers London Sinfonietta, Simon Rattle Until it was deleted just last year this title was in the full-price catalogue for nearly 20 years: it was first released in 1987. There aren't many CDs these days that can claim such a record and one just has to look at the line-up of artists and the repertoire they are playing to realise the reason for this longevity. "This can hardly fail, can it? The quality, range and sheer generosity of the programme, plus the line-up of star performers, bids fair to make it a bestseller. Play the record good and loud: if your neighbours hear it I reckon they are more likely to come round and join you than to bang on the walls." The review ended: "… if this album enjoys the success it deserves, it should not be too much to ask for EMI and Rattle to consider a follow-up."
