For the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frédéric Chopin, the renowned Ruhr Piano Festival in Essen invited the Staatskapelle Berlin to give a truly special program: the rare combination of Chopin‘s two piano concertos in one concert. For this purpose Daniel Barenboim, the orchestra‘s principal conductor, handed over the reins of „his“ ensemble to up-and-coming young conductor Andris Nelsons, assuming the role of piano soloist instead. The press raved: „Storms of applause for a dream couple: Daniel Barenboim and Andris Nelsons won over the audience […] with their rousing Chopin interpretations“. While Barenboim fi lls the solo parts with pulsating life and dance-like grace, the exciting young talent Andris Nelsons dazzles with his magnetic physical presence and the broad gestures with which he fires on or pulls back his enthusiastic musicians. Nelsons opens the concert with a rousing account of Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 44, the “Mourning” Symphony. Chopin wrote the two piano concertos when he was only 19 and 20; they were among the last works that he composed in Poland before leaving for France. Filled with youthful fire and freshness, the works showcase the pianist‘s virtuosity, and contain much of interest for the orchestral musicians as well, including poignant solo interludes for clarinet and bassoon. Sound Format: PCM Stereo, DD 5.1, DTS 5.1 Picture Format: 16:9 DVD Format: DVD 9, NTSC Running Time: 110 mins FSK: 0 “One cannot help but admire his effortless command in the two Chopin piano concertos...captured in pin-sharp picture quality and excellent, well-balanced sound...His almost boyish enthusiasm (despite the relaxed tempos) and obvious relish of performing show no sign of waning as he nears his 70th birthday, and (particularly for a part-timer) his technique shows remarkably little evidence of wear and tear.” International Record Review, January 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Haydn - Stabat Mater
Les Solistes de Paris, Henri-Claude Fantapié Haydn’s Stabat Mater was written in 1767 – at a time when Pergolesi’s masterpiece of the same name was being performed regularly. Haydn’s composition was highly praised by the composer Hasse, who was very influential at the time. The Libera was only discovered in the 1960’s – it is thought to have been written between 1782 and 1790. No other recording is currently available according to the Muze/ Gramophone Classical Catalogue. Both of these recordings date from 1978. The Symphony and Concerto included in this release were recorded in 1964, and it is believed that all four are released here on CD for the first time, and are available in timely fashion to mark the 200th anniversary of Haydn’s death. | | | (also available to download from $21.75) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.
