I was immediately drawn to the quartet's poignant, intimate and expressive sound world, the evocative and hauntingly beautiful voice of contralto Karen Clark and the poetry of Henry David Thoreau whose words so thoroughly capture the transcendental spirit of nineteenth century New England life. Living and working in the high hills of rural New Hampshire provided a synergy of poetry and music that formed an ideal union to help frame the mood, character and direction of this work. Joseph Schwantner.

Bruch's evergreen for the first time in UrtextThanks to the premiere performance by Joseph Joachim and to the release of the printed edition in 1868, Max Bruch's Violin Concerto no. 1 zipped onto the road to success and has never left it since. Yet from the preface of the BreitkopfUrtext edition,one can infer how things looked like behind the dazzling facade. After the world premiere, the composer struggled for the definitive form. He wrote 3, 4 development sections in the finale, and sought the advice of celebrated virtuosi such as Joseph Joachim and Ferdinand David to revise the solo part. And after all this was done (see above), Bruch suffered under the work's popularity: Have I written nothing but this one concerto?The new Urtext edition is based primarily on the first edition. Next to the main source and the autograph, what is supremely interesting is a solo part with entries by Joachim and Bruch. It confirms how intensively the two men collaborated on honing the final form of the work.

String quartet

SKU: HH.HH483-FSP

Composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Edited by David Wyn Jones and Simone Laghi. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH483-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH483-FSP).

ISBN 9790708146940.

A forgotten quartet attributed to Haydn and largely ignored for 200 years. Issued in Vienna in 1787 by Haydn’s favoured publisher, Artaria, the title page claims that it was both composed and arranged by the composer. Circumstantial and musical evidence suggests that this may, indeed, have been the case. This is the first modern edition of the work.
