Oper In Drei Bildern-This masterpiece composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold when he was only 23 was one of the great stage successes of the 1920s and 30s before being removed from theatre schedules by the National Socialists. Rediscovered in the 1970s it has enjoyed continuing popularity ever since. The libretto was compiled by the composer?s father the music critic Julius Korngold writing under the pseudonym ?Paul Schott? a combination of the name of the protagonist and the publishing house. A vivacious theatre group comes to liven up the gloomy city of Bruges (here a symbol of death) and the widower Paul is forced to decide between the past and the present.Korngold was fascinated by this symbolic plot and created an iridescent orchestral score washed in vivid colours. A variety of operatic devices are intermingled as if viewed through a kaleidoscope: opulent melodic arias advanced harmonies psychoanalytic profundity and cinematic transitions oscillating between reality and dream worlds guarantee the continuing modernity of this work up to the present day.

Little Pieces on 5 Notes Piano - 4 Hands-Here are 20 compositions or 'little pieces' on five notes. Another excellent program for the slightly more advanced student of the keyboard (2nd-3rd year).

Performed by Sondra Bianca piano Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen piano

This collection of Vocalises contains 45 vocal exercises devised by innovative teacher Gabriel Fauré. When Gabriel Fauré was appointed Director of the Paris Conservatoire in 1905 one of his most pressing concerns – and first achievements – was a complete reform of the teaching of singing. He was determined to introduce mandatory study of art song along with 'exercises developing vocal suppleness articulation and voice placement and production which are the basis of singing teaching'. To this end between 1906 and 1916 he composed a substantial body of accompanied vocalises for use in theConservatoire’s sight-singing examinations. For a century these vocalises – all but one now held in the Archives nationales de France in Paris – have lain unknown to the musical world at large. Their first publication here marks a major event for the vocal teaching repertoire (as well as some entrancing music); a marvellous resource of skilfully devised vocal exercises ranging from elementary to advanced virtuoso level all from one of history’s greatest song composers.

The names of the composers included here read like a ?Who is Who? of the heyday of Bohemian musicians and composers from the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. They include F. Benda J. Stamitz J. L. Dussek and J. B.Vanhal in their time names that were known throughout Europe and who predominantly worked at noteworthy courts in different countries. Today their music is largely overshadowed by that of Haydn Mozart and Beethoven. Yet theBohemians particularly excelled as far as the Violin sonata was concerned. Our two volume edition will provide the curious (and indeed already quite advanced) violinist with a colourful bouquet of worthwhile discoveries.

This is a collection of some of the most beautiful French melodies and is a perfectaddition to almost every harpist’s repertoire. The arrangements all have fingering and dynamics.

Guillaume Balay (1871-1943) served in the French military as a prolific Cornet player having won first place in the 1894 Cornet Award competition at the National Academy of Music in Paris. His compositions were popular in the Cornet and brass repertoire at the time including his Prélude Et Ballade adaptable to Cornet or Saxhorn with Piano accompaniment. This Balay work remains within the brass repertoire to this day and is suitable for intermediate to advanced level players. The Prélude is in 4/4 meter and exploits the full range of the instruments. There is also much use of flourishingsemiquaver passages. The Ballade is a much more measured than the first movement and is in 2/4 time. The texture is predominantly melody-dominated homophony with the occasional use of call-and-response between the melody instrument and Piano accompaniment. This quirky two-movement piece by Balay provides the intermediate to advanced Cornet or Saxhorn player with a fun alternative performance piece.

The DVD covers everything from the seat, the position of the body, and the devices used to improve it 'Aguado's machine?, Sor's support system, the foot-rest, attachments, and an ingenious, simple and practical system created by the author, to the mechanical workings of the hand, its main ways of gripping, and the problems posed by the ring finger. All of these topics are approached through the scientific reasoning of the author, backed up by his knowledge as a doctor. As Jorge Cardoso says in the introduction, this course 'can be useful both to beginners and to more advanced players. . . it can be useful to anyone who plays a plucked stringed instrument.? It includes basic demonstrations and explanations about how the hands work from the moment they are placed on the guitar, as well as exercises and concert pieces of the highest level. There is a discussion of strumming technique, of 'toque mixto? and four complete pieces interpreted by the author.
