Subcollection: Vocal and PianoIn the first sight seems everything Roelof Stalknecht did was simpel entertainment, but how relaxed playing was, it took tremendously attention. Without any doubt is immasable how a person like Roelof, who is in the business for so many years, he always confused to play on routine. Everytime he he went into adventure and gave winks to collegues as George Shearing, Errol Garner and sometimes even to Thelonius Monk. Finaly he didn't want to make another records, but how old an artist may get, there is always the drive to make something new. A CD was not made by Roelof yet, and it became a new challenge to him. Together with bass player Henk Haverhoek was this CD recorded at the Coendersborg in Groningen, the Netherlands, in comparison of Roelof´s best friends en other invited people. This created the right atmosphere to get the best out of the musicians. It became this lovely interpreting of Roelof´s `Foolish Heart`. |

Subcollection: Vocal and Piano* world premiere recording
The 20th Century composers Peter Warlock, Herbert Howells, Michael Howard and Betty Roe were all inspired by the music of their country, both in the words they set in song and the music they composed. Tim Travers Brown, accompanied by Jeremy Filsell, explore the counter-tenor's role in British songwriting. Whilst Roe and Howard wrote specifically with the counter-tenor voice in mind, Warlock and Howells did not, providing the counter-tenor with a fantastic opportunity to highlight some of their best works in a new perspective.
This programme forms a delicate balance between modern styles and historical influences featuring the songs 'My Little Sweet Darling' and 'The Night' by Peter Warlock, 'The Painted Rose' by Michael Howard, 'When the Dew is Falling' by Herbert Howells and 'Noble Numbers' by Betty Roe. |

Subcollection: Vocal and PianoErich Korngold is perhaps best known as the pioneering émigré composer whose grand orchestral scores defined the sound of film during the golden age of Hollywood. As well as this though, his output for voice in the form of Lieder and Song highlighted the strong bond that Korngold forever held with his homeland and the city of Vienna, a place inextricably linked to the High-Romantic style that Korngold so ably perfected.
This collection of songs and lieder are beautifully performed by Sarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano) and William Dazeley (baritone), accompanied by renowned pianist and broadcaster Iain Burnside. |

Subcollection: Vocal and PianoFrancis George Scott is a key figure in Scotland's musical history. Often referred to as Scotland's Hugo Wolf, his poetic settings draw on material from such writers as Robert Burns and Hugh McDiarmid to convey an extraordinary range of emotions and themes.
This new recording featuring masterful performances by Lisa Milne, Roderick Williams and Iain Burnside helps to shed light on an often overlooked composer, whose work stems from both the spirit of his national identity and the tradition of the great European song composers. |
