Kolekce: BaroqueHandel's musical illustration of Dryden's Alexander's Feast, first performed in 1736, was a critical and popular success. A day after the première, the London Daily Post reported 'Never was upon the like Occasion so numerous and splendid an Audience at any Theatre in London, there being at least 1300 Persons present'.
Twice a year some of the UK's finest baroque players and young vocal soloists come together in Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk to give sell-out concerts of the great works of Bach and Handel. The chorus, handpicked by Will Dawes, comprises a sensational selection of singers from Britain’s finest early music consorts, including the Monteverdi Choir, the Sixteen, Polyphony and the Gabrieli and King’s Consorts.
Ludus Baroque's appearances are unmissable events in Edinburgh's calendar. Now for the first time listeners from further afield can experience the vibrancy of their Festival-fuelled performances in this their debut recording. Alexander's Feast is the perfect showpiece for the vitality and abandon of Ludus Baroque and their rising-star soloists.

A recognised authority in 20th century and contemporary music, Peter Hill turns for the first time on disc to another of his lifelong preoccupations - the music of JS Bach. On this new recording, Hill brings his customary scholarly acumen and crystalline musical intelligence to bear on Book two of the ‘48’ - music of ‘unsurpassed inventiveness’.

J.S. Bach’s ‘Passions’ have been said to employ the word with more than one meaning - as well as telling the story of Christ’s sacrifice, they are simultaneously a celebration of human feeling in the joy and suffering of man’s pilgrimage on earth. The expert early music chamber orchestra Yorkshire Baroque Soloists bring all of these feelings to life in a dramatic and resonant performance of Bach’s Passio Secundum Johannem (St John Passion).
Joined for this recording by the excellent Charles Daniels, Stephen Varcoe and Stephan Loges, the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists have been a leading light in the world of Early Music performance since their formation in 1973. |

Music of the seventeenth century was little known to the concertgoing or record-buying public, up until fifty years or so ago when Monteverdi’s Vespers were performed under the inspiration of figures such as Michael Tippett as part of a modern revival of early music. Subsequently, it has been one of the most celebrated works both with choral societies and early music specialists.
Here, the Rodolfus Choir offer their interpretation of one of the most magnificent works of the seventeenth century. Following their highly successful release with Signum earlier this year, Choral Arrangements by Clytus Gottwald, the Rodolfus Choir perform earlymusic as sensitively and musically as they perform music of the twentieth-century. |

Following the outstanding success of The History of the Clarinet, Clarinet Classics is proud to present The History of the Saxophone.
‘From the Laurel-and-Hardy-soundtrakishness of The Six Browne Brothers’ "Moaning Saxophone Rag" to
Paul Schrader’s Mishima, it’s all here. You need this CD, it’s a gem.’
The Independent on Sunday
It includes a 20,000 word essay on the history of the saxophone written by the eminent saxophonist and leader of The Delta Saxophone Quartet, Stephen Cottrell.
Using a wide variety of musical examples from the saxophone in the 19th century by Combelle and Marcel Mule, jazz players Sidney Bechet, Charlie Parker and John Coltrane to the saxophone in the modern age including Stephen Cottrell and London Saxophonic. This important release presents a colourful guide to the saxophone from its invention by Adolphe Sax in the 19th century through its development and use in many different musical styles in the 20th Century.
Invaluable to both students and players alike, this new release will also be of interest to the general music lover wishing to increase their knowledge of the saxophone and its repertoire. |
