John BULLBasically Bull Alan Feinberg (piano)

The music comes from the Elizabethan period (late 16th/early 17th centuries) and essentially represents the earliest virtuoso keyboard works written. The virtuosic demands and deep passion of the music is astonishing. These are bold, adventurous, and pioneering works composed before the laws of tonality were codified. Alan Feinberg has received four Grammy nominations and has been widely acclaimed for his musical versatility, stylistic breadth of repertoire, and innovative programming. This is his debut release on the Steinway & Sons label.

Fyodor DOSTOYEVSKY Crime and Punishment Read by: Constatine Gregory

A century after it first appeared, Crime and Punishment remains one of the most gripping psychological thrillers. A poverty-stricken young man, seeing his family making sacrifices for him, is faced with an opportunity to solve his financial problems with one simple but horrifying act: the murder of a pawnbroker. She is, he feels, just a parasite on society. But does the end justify the means?

Umberto ECO The Name of the Rose Read By: Sean Barrett

This hugely engaging story of murder, superstition, religious politics and drama in a medieval monastery was one of the most striking novels to appear in the 1980s. The Name of the Rose is a thrilling story enriched with period detail and laced with tongue-in cheek allusions to fictional characters, the most striking of which is the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville, who displays many characteristics of Sherlock Holmes.

Corigliano’s aim was to write a concerto in a style his father would have wanted to play, which results in music that has a wealth of communicative qualities, colours, emotions and atmospheres. The work is coupled with a concerto of broad appeal, composed by Jaakko Kuusisto - a highly respected violinist and conductor.




The Solo Keyboard Music, Volume 26Sonatas Nos. 1-3 (including embellished versions) Miklós Spányi

Miklós Spányi includes recordings of Bach’s varied or embellished versions of Sonatas Nos. 2 and 3, which may represent the composer’s revisions but could equally well have been intended as study material for his students.
