A real rarity from Hyperion’s Anglo-Australian artistic collaboration; music by an Australian composer who was once at the heart of the English establishment.
Hans PFITZNERThe Romantic Cello Concerto, Volume 4
Alban Gerhardt, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Sebastian Weigle
Hyperion’s Romantic Cello Concerto series continues to bring new works into a repertoire currently dominated by Dvorvák and Elgar. Alban Gerhardt performs the three concertos by Hans Pfitzner, a composer remembered most for his opera Palestrina.

CDA67906£9.00
Franz SCHUBERTWinterreiseGerald Finley, Julius Drake
The Gramophone-award winning partnership of Gerald Finley and Julius Drake turns to perhaps the most celebrated song-cycle of them all. Schubert’s Winterreise is a masterpiece of despair, astonishing in its bleakness and enthrallingly mesmerising as the journey continues. Finley brings all his considerable dramatic powers to his performance—and all but submerges them under the ice.
CDA68034£9.00
Pietro LOCATELLIConcerti Grossi, Op. 1Elizabeth Wallfisch, The Raglan Baroque Players, Nicholas Kraemer
The concerto grosso form was popularized by Corelli, and Locatelli’s Op. 1 is a marvellous example of the genre; its solid craftsmanship, imaginative textures and exciting virtuosity bringing it into the top rank. These works are ravishingly performed here by The Raglan Baroque Players, Nicholas Kraemer and soloist Elizabeth Wallfisch.

This is the second volume in a series from Neeme Järvi and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande dedicated to the orchestral music of the Swiss-born composer Joachim Raff.
The idiomatic performances by Neeme Järvi and his Swiss orchestra in Volume 1, described as ‘peerless’ by BBC Music (*****), suggest that they are the perfect performers to reinvigorate interest in Raff’s music.

J. S. BACHLutheran Masses, Volume 2
The Sixteen Harry Christophers
Despite their exquisite beauty, featuring splendid choruses and deeply moving arias, there are relatively few recordings of Bach’s Lutheran Masses. On this second disc, which completes The Sixteen’s mini-series, the orchestra is joined by just eight singers to perform the Masses, allowing the beauty of the virtuosic vocal lines to be heard with absolute clarity.
COR16120£9.00
Franz SCHUBERTSymphony No. 3 in D major; Symphony No. 4 in C minor ‘Tragic’; Symphony No. 5 in B flat major
Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Thomas Dausgaard
These three Symphonies were all composed before Schubert was twenty and were probably intended for small student or private orchestras. This makes them ideal candidates for the small but deft treatment of the SCO along with the intricate and stylish details brought out by Dausgaard.
BIS1786£9.00 (Hybrid SACD)

Demonstrating great productivity, Reger wrote a large number of works in most musical genres, but today he is mainly remembered for his organ music and certain chamber works – his orchestral works often neglected. This box set is comprised of three separate discs that were previously released to critical acclaim.

Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart Carlo Maria Giulini was one of Italy’s most enigmatic conductors. He found success in both the opera house and the concert hall. Modest, reserved and unruled by ambition, Giulini’s interpretation of Anton Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony is refined and precise, marked by rich string textures and lyrical warmth.

John Graham-Hall Andrew Shore Tim Mead Sam Zaldivar Laura Caldow Mia Angelina Mather/Xhuliana Shehu Joyce Henderson Marcio Teixeira
Orchestra and Chorus of the English National Opera
Director: Deborah WarnerConductor: Edward Gardner
Deborah Warner’s beautiful and evocative production of Britten’s final operatic masterpiece has been acclaimed as an ‘exquisitely achieved marriage of music, drama and design’ (The Independent). In Britten’s luminous and compelling interpretation of Thomas Mann’s classic novella, the ageing writer Gustav von Aschenbach’s infatuation with the Polish boy Tadzio and his subsequent decline are portrayed in a ‘remarkable and harrowingly believable’ performance (The Guardian) by John Graham-Hall, who had already won golden opinions for singing the role of Aschenbach at La Scala. The superb ENO chorus and orchestra are conducted by Edward Gardner, a long-standing champion of Britten’s music.

Idomeneo Die Entfrührung aus dem Serail Le nozze di Figaro Don Giovanni Cosi fan tutteLa Clemenza di TitoDie Zauberflöte
From the mythological setting of Idomeneo via the sparkling wit of Le nozze di Figaro and powerful tragicomedy of Don Giovanni to the fantastical workings of the late Singspiel Die Zauberflöte, Mozart’s mature operas stand among the greatest achievements of Western art, dramas that illuminate the composer’s creativity as a whole and which stood out in their own time for the new level of characterisation, wit and lessons on life and humanity they brought to the musical stage. Featuring recordings made during the last ten years from some of the world’s leading opera houses, this collection offers an acclaimed series of productions that present consummate interpretations of Mozart’s scores through striking set designs and peerless singing, paying homage to a group of masterpieces which are just as relevant today as when they were first performed.
