| |  | Christianne Stotijn - Debut
“a really exciting event” Gramophone Magazine “The most impressive debut disc since Bryn Terfel was a lad” Classic FM Magazine ***** “…a riveting solo debut recital from the young Dutch mezzo Christianne Stotijn… A gust of wind blows this recital in, and blows it out: Stotijn and her robustly proactive accompanist Joseph Breinl start with the raging storms of Schubert's 'Im Walde', and end with Wolf's setting of Mörike's 'Lied vom Winde'. In the Schubert, in particular, Stotijn achieves a rare fusion: she evokes simultaneously both the physical scene and the inner soul-state, which responds to it.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2006 *****  CD Review

| |  | Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 & Wolf: LiederRecorded live at Semperoper Dresden, September 2012
The Dresden Staatskapelle has a living Bruckner tradition, stretching back a century and more, which is lovingly curated by its new music director, Christian Thielemann, who is himself a powerful advocate for the composer’s symphonies as the pinnacle of the Austro-German tradition; and in particular for the Wagnerian resonances of the Seventh, whose Adagio was shaped by news of Wagner’s death in Venice. Hugo Wolf was also deeply affected by that news; his songs, like Bruckner’s symphonies, can be seen as oblique reflections on the influence of Wagner, especially when sung, as they are here by Renée Fleming, with the utmost delicacy and intimacy. Christian Thielemann’s first concert as Principal Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden. Both Thielemann and Fleming are renowned interpreters of Romantic repertoire. Bruckner’s 7th Symphony premiered in 1884 to universal acclaim & established him as a serious composer of symphonic music, Wolf’s Songs were composed four years later. Wolf was a great admirer of Bruckner and both idolized Wagner, whose influence is felt in the 7th Symphony. Running time: 106 minutes Subtitles N/A Sound format: 2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTS |

| |  | Hugo Wolf: The Complete Songs Volume 1Mörike-Lieder Nos. 1-26
This is the first disc in a series that will be the first ever complete edition of the songs of Hugo Wolf. These performances were recorded live at the Oxford Lieder Festival (in the Holywell Music Room) on 22nd October 2010. “their performances are acutely sensitive to Wolf's musical nerve system. And, best of all, a sense of intimacy, of close confiding with the audience, really does come over - invaluable for private listening...Festival director Sholto Kynoch is a vivid and sentient accompanist.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2011 **** “Grevilius’s mezzo rises to the challenge of “Seufzer” and Daneman’s soprano brings sweetness to “Zitronenfalter im April”.” Financial Times, 25th June 2011 ** “The team of four singers is first-rate, responsive in every way, and if anything even more remarkable is the work of their pianist, Sholto Kynoch, displaying an exceptional expressive range, not only ideally agile but with the most subtle range of tone and dynamic...Altogether an impressive achievement from an enterprising new company.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2011 “Daneman, Grevelius, Gilchrist and Loges are top-flight lieder singers, with Oxford Lieder founder and pianist Sholto Kynoch offering sensitive support. Richard Stokes provides excellent notes and translations.” The Observer, 22nd May 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Wolfgang Holzmair & Imogen CooperSongs by Hugo Wolf
Two of the world’s most seasoned Schubertians, both long associated with Wigmore Hall, come together for the next new release from Wigmore Hall Live. Live from Wigmore Hall - 19 February 2008 This recording comprises 26 of the 53 lieder that Wolf wrote on the poems of Eduard Mörike, born just seven years after Schubert in 1804, but outliving the composer nearly five decades. Reviewing the concert in Seen & Heard International stated that: “The partnership between Cooper and Holzmair is so close, it’s almost symbiotic” “Rarely have I heard so sensitive, intelligent and gloriously musical a partnership. No-one could have asked for more attentive, detailed expressions nor more complete harmony of feeling between singer and pianist … I was transfixed by the sheer artistry.” (The Independent) Wolfgang Holzmair is a native of Upper Austria, and the British pianist Imogen Cooper, whose training included a period in Vienna studying with Paul Badura-Skoda, Jörg Demus and Alfred Brendel. “Holzmair is at his best in those settings which reveal the soul's innermost questionings; he and Cooper capture the fragile ardour of 'Frage und Antwort', and the chromatic unease within 'I'm Frühling'.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2009 “…more often pleasure is virtually unalloyed, whether in the trance-like wonder of "Im Frühling", the tiptoeing delicacy of "Elfenlied" (a hard song for a man to bring off) or the deft comic timing in "Zur Warnung", evidently relished by the Wigmore Hall audience.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

| |  | Elena Nikolaidi in Recital
Elena Nikolaidi (mezzo), Guy Bourassa (piano) This 1961 Radio-Canada telecast preserves the art of the Greek mezzo-soprano Elena Nikolaidi in a program of music by Gluck, Wolf and Canteloube, ending with a set of two traditional Greek songs. Her accompanist is the pianist Guy Bourassa. Madame Nikolaidi was celebrated in her time for her operatic portrayals, but she was also acclaimed as a recitalist who performed with subtly imaginative acting, as is demonstrated in this video. The DVD also includes an audio-only bonus of Nikolaidi in a fascinating 1989 interview. An important document of a virtuoso who made very few recordings. 28 minutes, black and white. 1961 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
