The Heil PR40 microphone boasts the widest frequency range of any dynamic mic in the Heil PR series. The PR40 incorporates Heil's sage-like understanding of phasing plug placement, along with the use of a very large (1″), low mass diaphragm, and custom magnet metals housed in a specially designed microphone body. The PR40 diaphragm is shock mounted such that it is completely de-coupled from the anodized Champagne matte-finished steel body. In addition to dual mesh screens, each made with different diameter screen apertures, there is an internal breath blast filter on the diaphragm element itself, providing superb response for the human voice across the entire vocal range, without “popping” noises. In fact, the PR40 will provide a flawless, smooth, flat response from 28Hz all the way up to the 18kHz, making this a great microphone for everything from vocals, to bass drums and tom drums, to guitar and bass cabinet micing and more. In short, the PR40 is known by professionals as the “thoroughbred workhorse” of professional sound recording and reinforcement. The PR40 is available in black, black with a gold grill, champagne, gold plate, or chrome plate. It ships with a mic clip and a leatherette carry bag. A windscreen is available to purchase separately.

Kale vi Aho's Piano Concerto No. 2 is scored for a string orchestra comprising just twenty players. The first performance took place at the concluding concert of the 2003 Mantta Music Festival, in Vilppula Church on 29th June. The soloist was Antti Siirala and the strings of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra were conducted by Osmo Vanska. The demanding piano writing is primarily a consequence of Siirala's remarkable command of the 'Beethovenian-Lisztian-Br ahmsian' pianistic tradition. At times the piano part is lean and linear, but the work also contains multi-layered, full-toned piano textures and massive rolling octaves. The concerto requires great artistry on the part of the performer. The Second Piano Concerto lasts roughly half an hour and comprises three untitled movements played without a break. The first movement and the finale are extremely fast; these outer movements contain plenty of playful music. The slow second movement is more serious in tone, and its piano texture is very ample. The difficult cadenza at the end of the finale brings more serious emotions to the coda as well.

Conti nuing with Carl Strommen's popular baseball-theme charts, this one refers to the tradition of infielders tossing the ball to each other after a successful out. It opens with an unaccompanied bass solo, followed by a trumpet and tenor soli. The same duo is later featured in the written or ad-lib solo section. Set in a bright swing groove for advancing groups, shifts between 2 and 4 feels and solid material for all make it a sure winner. Rhythm section parts are notated with chords cued, and a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 3:05.

Following a disastrous concert tour of Germany in 1885-86, Saint-Saëns withdrew to a small Austrian village, where he composed The Carnival of the Animals in February 1886. It is scored for two pianos, two violins, viola, cello, double bass, flute (and piccolo), clarinet (C and B?), glass harmonica, and xylophone. From the beginning, the composer regarded the work as a piece of fun. He wrote to his publishers Durand in Paris that he was composing a work for the coming Shrove Tuesday, and confessing that he knew he should be working on his Third Symphony, but that this work was such fun (... mais c'est si amusant!). He had apparently intended to write the work for his students at the École Niedermeyer, but it was first performed at a private concert given by the cellist Charles Lebouc on Shrove Tuesday, 9 March 1886.

Georg Kreisler equals scathing, dark black humour on the piano! The Singphoniker have arranged Georg Kreisler's best known songs for all-male ensemble and recorded them on CD. Schott now publishes the corresponding music edition for men's choir TTBB with piano accompaniment. The topics range from the poisoning of pigeons to the love of a wonderful woman to her long awaited moving out. These pleasant arrangements for men's choir TTBB and piano with Kreisler's humorous texts most certainly create an exuberant atmosphere in the concert.

Compo sed for New York-based cellist Maxine Neuman, Shawn's colleague at Bennington College. The opening Allegro is a showcase for the technical and expressive range of the cello. Movement II (Largo) is a study in contrasts among the dark, the nervously agitated, and the ethereal. A majestic introduction precedes the concluding Allegro. The concerto closes in a surprisingly subdued, contemplative, even melancholic mood. This work is finely crafted with a modestly demanding orchestration compared to complexity and technical difficulty of many contemporary concertos.
