Thwaites is joined by fellow pianist Benjamin Frith for the exuberant six-part A Lambeth Garland, the enchanting eight-part retelling of Oscar Wilde’s fable The Selfish Giant and Thwaites’ arrangement of Delius’s In a Summer Garden, the first to be made for two pianos. She is heard with John Mills (violin) and Bozidar Vukotic (cello) on Vijay’s Fable, drawn from her culture-fusing score for Indian choreographer Vijaylakshmi Subramaniam, and the atmospheric Mazurka: au Tombeau de Chopin. The Tippett Quartet contribute three memorable performances: Jan Palach’s Theme, recalling the self-immolating student protestor against the Soviet Union’s 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia; For Irina, a tribute to dissident Russian poet Irina Ratushinskaya who survived imprisonment but died of cancer in 2017; and with double bassist Laurence Ungless for To the Hills, a string quintet version of Thwaites’ earlier choral setting of Psalm 121. - [Penelope Thwaites: Ride!

Pianist Clélia Iruzun returns, accompanied by feted guitarist and Royal Academy of Music Professor Fabio Zanon (who provides informative booklet notes) and celebrated flautist Marcelo Barboza, both making their label debuts. Works by six Brazilian composers for permutations of guitar, flute and piano are featured, three of which – by Marlos Nobre, Ronaldo Miranda and João Luiz – are First Recordings. Also included is American composer Jennifer Higdon, whose questing flute and piano duet, Legacy, is a rhetorical meditation on suffering and loss. - [The Beecham Collection – Salzedo: The Witch Boy; Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 3; Delius: By the River; Grieg: Symphonic Dance No. 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-beecham-collection-salzedo-the-witch-boy-tchaikovsky-symphony-no-3-delius-by-the-river-grieg-symphonic-dance-no-2/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Treasures from the New World, Volume Four: Brazilian Piano Quartets](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/treasures-from-the-new-world-volume-four-brazilian-piano-quartets/) - SOMM Recordings is delighted to collaborate again with I Musicanti, directed by virtuoso double-bass player Leon Bosch and praised by The Strad for their “performances of passion and insight.” This latest release features the Brazilian-born, London-based pianist Clélia Iruzun, whose frequent SOMM collaborations include the International Classical Music Award-nominated Piano Concertos by Albéniz & Mignone with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jac van Steen. This release highlights five notable Brazilian composers from generations that succeeded the singular Brazilian composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos. While their names might not be as familiar as their famous compatriot, the musical qualities of their compositions—all scored for the forces of Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet—are revelatory. The programme opens and closes with works by Edmundo Villani-Côrtes(b. 1930) who acknowledges the early influence of Shostakovich and French Impressionism. He composed his 5 Miniaturas brasileiras in 1978 for flute and piano, and their immediate success led to no fewer than seventeen transcriptions for a variety of instrumental combinations. Caratinguê, a municipality in the Southeast Region of Brazil, lends its name to the work by Villani-Côrtes that closes this programme. It combines art and folk music to conjure the lively rhythms and irresistible musical atmosphere of Brazil. João Guilherme Ripper (b.1959), who received his D.M.A. in Composition at Catholic University of America, in Washington D.C., later served as composer-in-residence at Kean University in New Jersey, which commissioned From My Window No. 3 in 2011. Ripper describes this three-movement work—heard here in its first recording—as portraying aspects of his native city, from the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro to feelings of nostalgia. A short Song Without Words, Canção sem palavras, is by Arrigo Barnabé (b. 1951), one of the first and most talented adherents from a movement of urban classically trained musicians in the city of São Paulo who added erudite experimentations to pop music. His varied output also includes soundtracks for around half a dozen Brazilian movies. - [David Earl: 75th Birthday Tribute](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/david-earl-75th-birthday-tribute/) - SOMM Recordings is proud to celebrate the “stylish and powerful” (The Times) South African-born pianist-composer David Earl with a 75thBirthday Tribute. The release features Oxymorons – 24 Preludes (1993) and Scenes from a South African Childhood – 9 pieces for solo piano (2013). Of interest is that the second of these childhood scenes, “Princess Rainbow,” was included on the much-praised African Pianismrelease [SOMMCD 0647] by pianist Rebeca Omordia. David Earl was born in Stellenbosch in South Africa’s Western Cape in 1951. He made his professional piano debut aged 16 with the South African Broadcasting Corporation and played Mendelssohn’s First Piano Concerto with the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra the following year. He moved to London when he was 19 to study at the Trinity College of Music, performing the first of a number of solo piano recitals at Wigmore Hall while still a student and broadcasting live on BBC Radio 3. Jeremy Nicholas, writing for Gramophone, has said, “For those who like their contemporary music tonal, substantial and individual … David Earl is certainly a name to add to your list.” Earl gave the premiere of his Piano Suite No 1 Mosaics at Wigmore Hall in 1977. His First Piano Concerto and Chéri, a ballet commissioned for The Scottish Ballet, followed in quick succession. His extensive catalogue includes further ballet scores, operas, chamber music, choral and vocal works, film scores, a wide range of concerti for various instruments, and works for solo piano. - [Tomorrow is today: Songs of love, beauty and the passing of time](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/tomorrow-is-today-songs-of-love-beauty-and-the-passing-of-time/) - SOMM Recordings has had the good fortune to add to its wide-ranging catalogue the “extraordinary voices” (BBC Radio 3) of the all-female a cappella vocal quintet Papagena these past few years. Formed in 2015, the ensemble is made up of sopranos: Elizabeth Drury, Imogen Ram-Prasad, and Suzzie Vango; mezzo: Shivani Rattan; and alto: Sarah Tenant-Flowers. What distinguishes Papagena is their gloriously adventurous programming, which defies pigeonholing: medieval, classical, folk, and contemporary music from around the world, juxtaposed with repertoire from Hildegard of Bingen to Katy Perry and all points in between. Papagena’s debut album, Nuns and Roses, was self-released in 2017. Their second, The Darkest Midnight, was released in 2018 by SOMM. Selected as MusicWeb International’s Recording of the Month, it reached No.6 in the classical charts and No.1 in Amazon’s classical download chart. In 2020, Papagena’s second release with SOMM was Hush!, a Recommended Recording by MusicWeb International, which was praised by John Quinn as “another winner from Papagena. More, please!” SOMM is happy to oblige. SOMM’s third collaboration with Papagena is Tomorrow is Today: Songs of love, beauty and the passing of time, and features six world premiere recordings and three works in their first commercial release. As an example of the unique diversity of their programming, this new collection opens with a set of four songs that are united by ideas of love in various guises. The Gallant Weaver with words by Robert Burns tells of the sincere love of a humble girl for her weaver. Sì Ch’io Vorrei Morire (Yes, I should wish to die), a madrigal by Claudio Monteverdi, deals with passionate sexual attraction. Oy Khodyt Son (Oh, sleep is coming) is a traditional Ukrainian melody about love within a family unit. Kaval Sviri (The Flute is Playing) is a traditional Bulgarian song of coquettish flirtation. - [Quiet Summer Evening: British Light Classics](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/quiet-summer-evening-british-light-classics/) - SOMM Recordings is pleased to release their second recording with the Chamber Ensemble of London, a virtuoso group of hand-picked string players directed by violinist Peter Fisher, whom The Times counts amongst “a handful of the world’s finest musicians.” Following the ensemble’s 2022 SOMM release, Eclogue – British Chamber Music, which Gramophone praised for its “unfailingly sympathetic music-making throughout,” this new release is Quiet Summer Evening – British Light Classics, drawing on the rich tradition of light classical music. The programme opens with Rhapsody for Clarinet & Strings by Geoffrey Bush. He was initially taught by John Ireland and, on his advice, studied composition and classics at Balliol College, Oxford emerging with degrees in both subjects in 1946. Bush’s hauntingly beautiful rhapsody features the sought-after clarinettist Peter Cigleris, whose growing discography includes three previous releases with SOMM. He is also the soloist in 5 Pieces for Clarinet & String Orchestra by Clive Jenkins, CEOL’s associate composer. Jenkins was born in Plymouth, and he shows his roots in many of his compositions—including these pieces, each of which has a name connected with Plymouth. Another work by Jenkins included here is Fantasy for Horn & Strings featuring Alexei Watkins, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, where he was awarded the Dennis Brain Prize. Watkins is also featured in Serenade for Horn & Strings by prize-winning conductor-composer Andy Meyers; as well as Lullaby, an expressive and programmatic piece by composer and BBC Radio 3 producer Luke Whitlock. Bassoonist Sarah Watts is a multi-instrumentalist who has become well-known worldwide as a prolific composer of colourful and inspiring music. Here, she performs her composition Everywhere Is Somewhere Else. Additionally, she is the soloist for the contemplative Sunday Afternoon by notable arranger, conductor, and composer Nigel Brooks, excerpted from the broadcast series Stars on Sunday; and also A Little Waltz by the prolific mid-twentieth-century composer, arranger, and master orchestrator, Gordon Jacob. - [Elgar from the Archives, Vol. 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/elgar-from-the-archives-vol-4/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [The Chopin I Love](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-chopin-i-love/) - SOMM Recordings is delighted to collaborate once again with one of the foremost pianists of our time, Peter Donohoe. A joint winner of the 1982 International Tchaikovsky Competition, Donohoe has performed with all the major London orchestras and multiple European and American orchestras, as well as at the BBC Proms no less than 18 times. His impressive discography on SOMM includes the complete Prokofiev and Scriabin Sonatas as well as the complete Mozart Piano Sonatas. “Donohoe appears to take early Beethoven as his interpretive trajectory with a gloves-off spontaneity that imbues these magical scores with a compelling vitality and freshness…” (BBC Music Magazine, Choice) “Donohoe plays these pieces with a personal involvement that is as touching as it is fascinating and finely considered.” (Gramophone) Donohoe also recorded with SOMM the highly regarded 2nd and 3rd Sonatas (2023) and Waltzes (2024) by Chopin. Now, this latest release is The Chopin I Love, a title he borrowed from one of the most formative recordings of his youth, an LP of Arthur Rubinstein. Donohoe’s personal selections represent works which have always resonated very much with him as well as representing some of the most challenging, unique, and significant repertoire for piano ever written. The most substantial works in this collection are the Preludes, Op. 28, whose technical demands place them firmly amongst Chopin’s most virtuosic works. Although Chopin did not necessarily intend for all 24 Preludes—one in each key—to be played as a group, they are performed here as a complete cycle, which makes for a fascinating and satisfying listening experience. Chopin wrote a further single Prelude, Op. 45, which is a longer and more detailed study than the individual numbers in the Opus 28 set, with the exception of the “Raindrop” Prelude. - [The Beecham Collection – Berlioz & Wagner: Orchestral Excerpts](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-beecham-collection-berlioz-wagner-orchestral-excerpts/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Herbert Howells: Partsongs](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/herbert-howells-partsongs/) - SOMM Recordings is proud to present The Mira Ensemble, taking its name from the Latin word meaning “wonderful” or “admirable” and comprising professional singers from across the UK. The group was founded in 2025 to champion the extensive, yet little known and often-neglected body of music for upper voices. Their debut disc focuses on the upper-voices repertoire by Herbert Howells, and it features entirely premiere recordings that shine a light on a rarely discussed part of his output. The ensemble is directed by Newcastle-born conductor, composer, academic, editor, and orchestrator Tom Edney. They’re accompanied by pianist Nick Salwey, who has performed live on BBC Radio 3, ITV, Channel 4, and Classic FM. Nick taught at Oxford, Eton College, and Winchester College, where he was Head of Piano from 2005 to 2025, and where he continues to teach and work as accompanist. Herbert Howells (1892–1983) composed a significant body of lyrical, often pastoral partsongs characterized by rich harmony and expressive text-setting. Early partsongs featured on this disc include The Shepherd, a setting of William Blake; A Croon from an old cradle song; An Old Man’s Lullaby by Elizabethan Thomas Dekker; and A Tinker’s Song, an anonymous old London song from 1667. Two unison songs from the 1920s—an old rhyme The Wonderful Derby Ram and a Spanish Lullaby—hint at Howells’s own childhood singing experiences. A Golden Lullabyis another setting of An Old Man’s Lullabyby Dekker, and Howells’s different approaches to voicing are striking. My Master Hath a Garden, on an anonymous text, reflects the influence of Gustav Holst, while the old rhyme Sing Ivy evokes some of Holst’s folk song arrangements—though it shifts midway to a sound reminiscent of Tudor keyboard music. Howells’s interest in dance forms grew from his fascination with English Tudor music, and he adopted a Sarabande in setting a text by the late-Elizabethan Thomas Campion, Tune thy Music. - [Fusions](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/fusions/) - An exciting release from SOMM Recordings, featuring the Russian-born pianist Nikolay Medvedev, is the aptly named Fusions, which brings together the music of George Gershwin and Nikolai Kapustin—two diverse pianist-composers who share the influence of jazz in their work—while also highlighting the virtuosity of Earl Wild, one of the greatest American pianists of the 20th century. George Gershwin, whose compositions spanned jazz, popular, and classical music, hardly needs introduction, yet the unique fusion of jazz and classical forms of Nikolai Kapustin—who was born the year of Gershwin’s death in 1937—was limited to a niche audience in Russia, until his music became internationally known in the early 2000s. These classical and jazz infused works are vividly performed by award-winning pianist, Nikolay Medvedev, whom BBC Music Magazine has named “a pianist with poise and precision,” while the Berliner Morgenpost has described his performances as “a mesmerizing combination of technical mastery and emotive depth.” What sets Nikolai Kapustin apart as a composer is that, although his music inhabits jazz idioms naturally, everything in it is carefully notated on the page and not improvised as traditional jazz would be. His Second Piano Sonata, which opens this programme, dates from 1989. It’s an optimistic four-movement work that blends classical sonata form with jazz elements, requiring high-level technical skill to manage its complex, syncopated rhythms. The sophisticated harmonic and rhythmic language that Kapustin derived from jazz fusion, bebop, and stride piano is also very much in evidence in his Eight Concert Études of 1984. These are not intended to be played together as a set, and this recital features five études, ranging from a thrillingly atmospheric stylisation of South American carnival time to Joplinesque ragtime riding above a powerful left-hand stride. - [Charles Wood: String Quartets](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/charles-wood-string-quartets/) - To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of the Irish-born composer Charles Wood (1866 – 1926), SOMM Recordings is honoured to release the World Premiere Recordings of his String Quartet No. 2 ‘Highgate’and String Quartet No. 4 ‘Harrogate’ along with his Variations On an Irish Folk Tune. This follows SOMM’s 2024 release of Wood’s sixth and last String Quartet in a performance by the London Chamber Ensemble Quartet [SOMMCD 0692], which received a stunning review in The Observer, BBC Music Magazine, MusicWeb International, Klassik.com and The Strad, and was a Gramophone recommended recording. Featured again on this album, the London Chamber Ensemble was formed in 2019 and is led by violinist Madeleine Mitchell. The ensemble has been praised for its “high quality chamber music-making” (Musical Opinion) and its “passionate and persuasive advocacy [and] gripping interpretations” (Gramophone.) Charles Wood was born into a family of singers and musicians in Armagh, Ireland. He sang in the cathedral choir, became a student organist, and gained experience as a string player, particularly as a violist. By the time he was sixteen, Wood had begun to write chamber music. When, in 1883, he became one of fifty inaugural class members of the Royal College of Music studying composition under Sir Charles Villiers Stanford and Sir Hubert Parry. Wood in turn taught Ralph Vaughan Williams, Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Herbert Howells, and Michael Tippett. He also gave private instruction to Sir Thomas Beecham. By April 1885, he had completed his String Quartet No. 1. Two years after acquiring his degrees in 1890, Wood composed a second string quartet, which he nicknamed the ‘Highgate,’ (It seems that he drew the name from visits to see his brother, William, who was the music master at Highgate Grammar School.) While a little reminiscent of Brahms, the string quartet does point to Wood’s emerging individuality. The unusual third movement, for instance, makes use of a seven-bar ground bass coupled with an austere theme for his own instrument, the viola. - [Elgar from the Archives, Vol. 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/elgar-from-the-archives-vol-3/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [ApIvor, Swain & Finzi: Clarinet Concertos](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/apivor-swain-finzi-clarinet-concertos/) - Clarinettist Peter Cigleris is adding another gem to the SOMM catalogue less than a year after the release of his Clarinet Concertos (with symphonic band) [SOMMCD 0705, October 2025], which featured two world-premiere recordings and was roundly praised by Gramophone’s Guy Rickards: “Cigleris is possessed of a beautifully mellifluous tone… A hugely varied, enjoyable programme, then, superbly played and recorded; enjoy!” For this release, Cigleris again offers concertante works, and again two first-ever recordings, but here the tutti forces, rather than winds, are the luminous strings of the London Mozart Players led by John Andrews. The trio of composers is British, and along with Gerald Finzi, whose Clarinet Concerto is justly beloved, come two others keenly deserving of the light this recording sheds on their music. The three works, all composed in the late 40s, are bound together by the common thread of the eminent English clarinettist Frederick Thurston (1901–1953). - [Stephen Dodgson: Turn Ye to Me – Songs, Vol. 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/stephen-dodgson-turn-ye-to-me-songs-vol-3/) - SOMM Recordings adds to its already extensive catalogue of music by the British composer and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Stephen Dodgson (1924 – 2013) with a third volume of his songs titled Turn Ye to Me. SOMM’s previous Dodgson song releases include The Peasant Poet [SOMMCD 0659], hailed by Opera Today as “an incredibly interesting and engaging disc… done excellent service by all the performers;” and The Distances Between [SOMMCD 0673], about which the British Music Society said “the performances (by some prestigious names) and the warm, lifelike recording are impeccable.” The performers on this third volume of Dodgson songs include prior SOMM artists also featured in Volumes I and II: Irish soprano Ailish Tynan and British mezzo-soprano Katie Bray, both past winners of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition; doctor-turned-tenor James Gilchrist, who is noted for his forthright and passionate style; Roderick Williams, one of the most sought-after baritones of his generation; guitarist and Dodgson specialist, Mark Eden; and GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist, Christopher Glynn. The recital opens with a first release of Three Songs to words of Thomas Lovell Beddoes, who died by suicide in 1849 aged 45. Tandaradei is his translation of the 13th-century German love poem, Under der linden, by Walther von der Vogelweide. Dirge and The Old Crow of Cairo are from Beddoes’s posthumously published drama Death’s Jest Book. Three single songs include settings of Andrew Marvell’s pastoral poem The Mower to the Glow-Worms; George Meredith’s sonnet Winter Heavens; and Matthew Prior’s poem Daphne to Apollo inspired by Greek myth and set to guitar accompaniment. Two short solo piano pieces are from a set of Eight Fanciful Pieces—included in full on SOMM’s 2024 release of piano music by Dodgson [SOMMCD 0684.] The marcato (marked) tempo of Il Zoppo suggests an irregular gait, while the contemplative Mirage hints at an Impressionistic style. - [The Beecham Collection: Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade – Saint-Saëns: Bacchanale, Cello Concerto No. 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-beecham-collection-rimsky-korsakov-scheherazade-saint-saens-bacchanale-cello-concert-no-1/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Nimrod Borenstein: Shakespeare Songs, Mandolin Concerto & Oboe Concerto](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/nimrod-borenstein-shakespeare-songs-mandolin-concerto-oboe-concerto/) - SOMM RECORDINGS celebrates the powerful and dynamic relationship between soloist and orchestra with three world premiere recordings of works by Nimrod Borenstein, whom Opus klassiek called “Brilliant...an inspired composer but also an inspiring conductor.” Borenstein leads the English Chamber Orchestra in his Concerto for mandolin and orchestra; Shakespeare Songs for soprano and orchestra; and Légende – Concerto for oboe and orchestra. The program features mandolinist Alon Sariel, honored for his “dazzling virtuosity” by The Vancouver Sun; soprano Sarah Fox—Honorary Fellow at the University of London’s Royal Holloway College and winner of the Kathleen Ferrier and John Christie awards—praised for her “shining intelligence” by Gramophone; and oboist Sanja Romić, hailed by Zubin Mehta for her “musical depth and lovely tone” and applauded worldwide for her expressive sound and charismatic stage presence. Nimrod Borenstein—whose substantial catalogue currently numbers more than 100 works ranging from orchestral and chamber music to solo instrumental pieces—made his SOMM debut [SOMMCD 281] conducting the first recordings of his Piano Concerto, piano quintet Light and Darkness, and Shirim for solo piano, celebrated by Pizzicato as “feel-good music of exquisite quality.” With reference to this present release, Borenstein describes the relationship between soloist and orchestra as having an epic, almost theatrical quality. “It can become a moment of confession, or of confrontation,” he says, “a personal voice rising against, or carried by, a collective force.” These elements are richly evident in all three works presented here. While the qualities of a mandolin can be delicate, quiet, and soft, Borenstein’s choice in composing his Concerto for mandolin and orchestra was to create a work that feels monumental in scope while showcasing the virtuosic capabilities of the instrument. To this end, the composer explored many of the technical ideas and expressive tools pioneered by Paganini for the violin, adapting them to the mandolin’s unique sound. - [Time Stands Still](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/time-stands-still/) - SOMM RECORDINGS celebrates the 400th anniversary of two Renaissance masters of the First Golden Age of English Song: John Dowland (1563–1626)and John Danyel (1564–1626). This recital for tenor and lute takes its name from Dowland’s song, Time Stands Still. The recordingfeatures British tenor Kieran White, who was a chorister at Wells Cathedral and held a Kohn Foundation Scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music. The Guardian has praised White’s “pure, luminous tenor” and Opera Magazine his “extraordinary emotional clarity.” He performs with long-time collaborator and friend, the Swiss French lutenist Cédric Meyer, who holds two Masters of Arts and a postgraduate certificate with a specialisation in early music. Meyer plays here on his personally handcrafted 8-course Renaissance lute, based on an extant Italian lute from 1592. Lute songs, or “ayres,” combine music and poetry to create songs that are filled with love, melancholy, and despair. John Dowland is acknowledged as the premier secular lute song composer of the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries, with a special affinity for the melancholy. It was a distinction he relished, even punning on his own name in the lute solo Semper Dowland, semper dolens – Always Dowland, always doleful. Dowland’s status as a god of early music enthusiasts is matched by his astute business sense. To prevent unscrupulous printers from distributing his work in pirated editions, Dowland preserved his music by publishing it himself. The lute songs on this recording come from the First Booke of Songes or Ayres, published in 1597; the Second Booke, 1600; the Third and Last Booke, 1603; and A Musicall Banquet published by Dowland’s son Robert in 1610. The texts are predominantly by anonymous authors. - [Elgar from the Archives, Vol. 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/elgar-from-the-archives-vol-2/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [The Beecham Collection - Strauss: Ein Heldenleben & Beethoven: Symphony No. 8](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-beecham-collection-strauss-ein-heldenleben-beethoven-symphony-no-8/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: Orchestral Works](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/samuel-coleridge-taylor-orchestral-works/) - SOMM Recordings marks the 150th anniversary of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875 – 1912) with a diverse selection of his orchestral works, reflecting both his Afro-British parentage and a musical milieu that included Holst and Vaughan Williams. Of particular note is that five of the seven works presented here are first recordings. This commemorative release features the Ulster Orchestra conducted by Charles Peebles, whose first recordings of Piano Concertos by Dora Bright and Ruth Gipps for SOMM were widely praised. It was quickly apparent that Coleridge-Taylor possessed an unusual talent, and he produced a remarkable body of work before his untimely death at 37—though much of his music has been hidden from public view by the absence of surviving performance material. He composed his first work for voice and orchestra, Zara’s Earrings, when he was just 19. Rebecca Murphy, hailed by Opera Journal for her “stunning delivery,” is the featured soprano. The Ballade, also written when Coleridge-Taylor was 19, was premiered by Isabella Donkersley, the future wife of Augustus Jaeger (soon to be immortalised by Elgar as ‘Nimrod’ in his Enigma Variations). The Ballade’s great drama and charismatic melodic material play to the strengths of Coleridge-Taylor having been a violinist. Ioana Petcu-Colan, heard here, is leader of the Ulster Orchestra and a soloist of considerable reputation. When Coleridge-Taylor heard Brahms’s Clarinet Quintet while a student at the Royal College of Music, he was encouraged to write his own. The Romance for string orchestra is an arrangement of the quintet’s introspective Larghetto affettuosomovement. Solemn Prelude, written for the Worcester Three Choirs Festival of 1899, is a work of elegiac pathos exuding the confidence of a young composer reaching the height of his powers. Since its modern revival in 2021, it’s been performed by some of the world’s most distinguished orchestras. - [Leon McCawley: Piano Recital](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/leon-mccawley-piano-recital/) - SOMM Recordings continues its long collaboration with pianist Leon McCawley, named “one of today’s most impeccably musical pianists” by International Piano. His past recordings for SOMM include much-admired releases of piano music by Chopin; Barber (Critics’ Choice in Gramophone); Brahms (Classic FM CD of the Week); Schumann; Rachmaninoff Complete Preludes; Haydn Sonatas and Variations (awarded a Diapason d’Or); Schubert; three further volumes of Haydn Sonatas; and the 2024 release Natural Connection, about which Gramophone wrote “This scintillatingly varied recital combines sensuous virtuosity, compelling charm and musical probity. Highly recommended.” In this recital McCawley presents some of his old favourites by composer-pianists Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin, and Franck. While the recital focusses on 19th century composers, the programme begins and ends with a nod to J.S. Bach. Amongst Bach’s works that Franz Liszt revered were his six organ preludes and fugues. In transcribing them for piano, Liszt became a major influence on later arrangers. Heard here is the first in the set, Prelude and Fugue in A minor. The Piano Sonata in C major, Op. 53, “The Waldstein,” by Beethoven—dedicated to his friend and patron, Count Ferdinand von Waldstein—comes from his aptly named “Heroic” period. It was written in 1804, two years after the watershed moment of his Heiligenstadt Testament, when he had contemplated suicide because of his encroaching deafness, but instead made the profound choice to channel his despair into a bold new musical style. The “Waldstein” Sonata is a vivid expression of this newfound path and of Beethoven’s ability to transcend personal adversity to create ground-breaking works of deep complexity. One of the renowned “out-takes” of musical history is Beethoven’s Andante favori. He originally intended it as the slow movement of his “Waldstein” Sonata, but he substituted it with a shorter adagio labelled “Introduzione.” He had formed an attachment to the piece, though, and he published it as a stand-alone work, including it frequently in subsequent recitals. In an engaging piece of programming, Leon McCawley pairs it here with the “Waldstein” Sonata. - [Debussy & Ravel Piano Music by Alessandro Taverna](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/debussy-ravel-piano-music-by-alessandro-taverna/) - Introducing a new album of the music of Debussy and Ravel by the internationally renowned concert pianist Alessandro Taverna. Featuring Debussy's Images, Book I & II, L'Isle Joyeuse and Ravel's Jeux d'eau, Gaspard de la nuit, and La Valse. The latter two pieces were both recorded live during a recital on 16th January 2016 at the Turner Sims Concert Hall, Southampton. - [Howells & Wood: String Quartets](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/howells-wood-string-quartets/) - SOMM Recordings is thrilled to announce an exciting new album from the London Chamber Ensemble and violinist and director Madeleine Mitchell of premiere recordings of early 20th century English string music by Herbert Howells and his Royal College of Music teacher Charles Wood, including the recently discovered earlier version of “In Gloucestershire”, thought lost, alongside two delightful short pieces, Luchinushka and Chosen Tune, newly arranged by Madeleine Mitchell. Herbert Howells first composed a string quartet entitled “In Gloucestershire” in 1916, though the score was immediately lost. He began re-composing the work a few years later before announcing its completion in 1920. Following early performances and revisions, this version also disappeared. However, in the 1980s it emerged that a set of parts of the original 1920 version had survived, and it is this version, newly constructed and edited by the author of the booklet notes, Jonathan Clinch, and cellist Joseph Spooner who also features on this disc. - [Arensky & Rachmaninoff: Romances](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/arensky-rachmaninoff-romances/) - SOMM Recordings presents a seductive and captivating release of Russian art songs, an intriguing juxtaposition of Russian Romances for voice and piano by Anton Arensky (1861–1906) and his student Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 – 1943). The recital, “performed with great charm and sympathy” (Opera Today), features two artists making their debut for SOMM: lyric coloratura soprano Anastasia Prokofieva—a rising young star in the opera world, described as “striking” by Opera Magazine—and London-based conductor, pianist, and vocal coach Sergey Rybin, an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied under SOMM recording artist, Malcolm Martineau. Sergey Rybin’s excellent notes, together with full texts and translations, help bring these neglected gems to light and highlight the inner connection between Arensky and Rachmaninoff. While there is no doubt that Rachmaninoff was possessed of a unique and innate musical gift, he acknowledged the profound influence of his teacher and mentor, Arensky,who was his professor of harmony, counterpoint, and free composition at the Moscow Conservatory between 1885 and 1888, when Rachmaninoff was still a teenager. Arensky’s writing—and Rachmaninoff’s, too—is full of eminently singable melodies that are deeply connected both to bel canto and to a Russian folk aesthetic. Sergey Rybin also makes the point that a certain virtuosic flair in the piano parts of these románsy, by both the professor and the pupil, “are unmistakably the branches of the same stylistic tree.” Anton Arensky studied composition with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and he was just twenty-one when he began teaching harmony and counterpoint—and, later, instrumentation and free composition—at the Moscow Conservatory. While his role as a teacher may well be his most lasting contribution, he remained active as a composer of operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and piano works. He also wrote fifty-seven románsy, which show his affinity for intimate, emotional expression. Included amongst the thirteen art songs by Arensky on this release are the Five Romances, Op. 70 from 1900, and the five-song cycle Reminiscence, Op. 71 circa 1905. - [Light out of Darkness: Choral Music by Edward Elgar](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/light-out-of-darkness-choral-music-by-edward-elgar/) - In January 2026 The Elgar Society marks its 75th anniversary, and SOMM Recordings celebrates the event with several Elgar releases in gratitude for the society’s generous support and encouragement from 1998 to the present day. Light Out of Darkness, Choral Music by Elgar was recorded in February 2025, with the support of The Elgar Society, and continues the inspired journey of the composer’s musical development in a series of widely acclaimed releases by SOMM. This present release includes five world-premiere recordings. Light Out of Darkness features the Chapel Choir of the Royal Hospital Chelsea conducted by their Music Director, the multiple prize-winning conductor and pianist William Vann. This follows their hugely successful first recording of Elgar’s choral works for SOMM, The Reeds by Severn Side [SOMMCD 0278]. The featured organist is Callum Knox, an emerging talent from Australia. Edward Elgar (1857–1934) had an unorthodox musical education that turned out to be a fertile training ground for his evolution into one of the most important composers of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. He “learned on the job,” so to speak, studying scores and instruction manuals in his father’s music shop; assisting his father who played the organ at Worcester’s St George’s Church; and graduating to organist for St George’s in 1885. From these early years come world-premiere recordings of the hymn Praise ye the Lord, 1878, and the first of Elgar’s seven settings of Thomas Aquinas’s O Salutaris Hostia composed c.1877. Two later versions—from c.1880 (dedicated “To my father – with affection”) and 1882—are also included here. This last is another world-premiere recording, as is Elgar’s a cappella setting of the Stabat Mater from 1886. In 1888, now aged 31, Elgar composed the dignified Ecce sacerdos magnus(Behold a great priest) for a visit to St. George’s by the newly installed Bishop of Birmingham. - [Elgar from the Archives, Vol. 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/elgar-from-the-archives-vol-1/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [The Songs of Edward Elgar (Digital Re-release)](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-songs-of-edward-elgar-2/) - The Elgar Society marks its 75th anniversary in January 2026, and in celebration of this significant milestone SOMM Recordings is re-issuing—as a digital release—The Songs of Edward Elgar. This recital, a collaboration supported by The Elgar Society and the first of several orchestral and choral recordings to follow over the years, was originally recorded by Siva Oke in London in 1998 under the catalogue number SOMMCD 220. This digital re-issue includes new liner notes by the English musicologist, Julian Rushton, who has published extensively on Elgar. The renowned singers are Catherine Wyn-Rogers mezzo-soprano, Neil Mackie tenor, and Christopher Maltman baritone, with pianist Malcolm Martineau, recognized as one of the leading accompanists of his generation. The output of Edward Elgar (1857–1934) includes 48 completed songs and more than 20 that he left unfinished, suggesting a high level of self-criticism. This release includes 23 of the songs, covering his early years until near the end of his life, although precise dates are difficult to establish. The first nine songs on the programme are from c.1885–95, when Elgar was beginning to be known outside his native Worcestershire. These include a setting of the “Lute Song” from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s 1875 play, Queen Mary. Also included in this first group is Rondel in a translation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow after the Chronicles of the medieval author, Jean Froissart. (Elgar’s 1890 Concert Overture inspired by the Froissant Chronicles comes from this same time frame.) Although Elgar rarely used more than one poem per author, he set more than ten of the poems by his wife, Caroline Alice, Lady Elgar, the first one being The Wind at Dawn, which she wrote in 1880 and he set in 1888. - [African Art Song](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/african-art-song/) - “Songs are the heart of the African people.” —Rebeca Omordia SOMM Recordings is excited to announce African Art Song, a continuation of pianist and “African classical music pioneer” (BBC World Service), Rebeca Omordia’s exquisite exploration of African classical music repertoire in her African Pianism series, in which she partners award-winning soprano Omo Bello. Throughout, an illuminating, and frequently mesmerizing musical tapestry appears, incorporating five indigenous languages and cultures with songs that merge African and Western European musical forms with African melodies to produce songs full of simplicity, playfulness, and most importantly, joy. - [Leoš Janáček: The Makropulos Affair & The Diary of the One Who Disappeared](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/leos-janacek-the-makropulos-affair-the-diary-of-the-one-who-disappeared/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Ernest John Moeran: Symphony in G Minor & Violin Concerto](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/ernest-john-moeran-symphony-in-g-minor-violin-concerto/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Schubert: “Trout” Quintet – Hummel: Piano Quintet in C](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/schubert-trout-quintet-hummel-piano-quintet-in-c/) - SOMM Recordings presents an intriguing pairing of chamber works that share the unusual and expressive instrumentation of piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass: Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s ‘Military’ Quintet in C major and Franz Schubert’s Piano Quintet in A major, hisTrout Quintet. Extraordinarily, this is a first recording of Hummel’s ‘Military’ Quintet.’ It is an amazing find by the virtuoso double-bass player Leon Bosch, Artistic Director of the mixed-instrument chamber ensemble I Musicanti, with whom he performs here. They’re joined by Peter Donohoe, laureate of the Tchaikovsky Competition and acclaimed as one of the foremost pianists of our time. Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s gift as a composer was matched by his excellence as a pianist. A child prodigy, Hummel was taught and housed by Mozart for two years, and he studied further with Clementi, Haydn, Albrechtsberger, and Salieri. Hummel’s mastery as a pianist and his compositional personality, admired by Liszt, shine through in his two piano septets featuring winds, brass, and strings, which he also arranged for a combination not uncommon at the time of piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. It was in October 1829, nearly a year after Schubert’s death, that Hummel completed his ‘Military’ Piano Septet No. 2. For publication in Vienna the following year, he also prepared a piano quintet version, again arranged for that ensemble of piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. The Septet’s scoring—for piano, flute, clarinet, trumpet, violin, cello, and double bass— already included four of the five of those instruments, so in effect the alternate version redistributes the wind and brass parts among four strings with added viola. It is this version that receives its premiere recording on this release. - [Siegfried Wagner Conducts Richard Wagner](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/siegfried-wagner-conducts-richard-wagner/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Jean-Marie Leclair: Violin Concertos, Volume One](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/jean-marie-leclair-violin-concertos-volume-one/) - SOMM Recordings is delighted to build upon its critically acclaimed discography with violinist, Adrian Butterfield, and the London Handel Players in a new collaboration featuring the Op. 7 set of six Violin Concertos by the French violinist-composer, Jean-Marie Leclair. The London Handel Players, praised by the New York Times for their “soulful depth” and “consummate skill and musicianship,” have previously released five Handel discs with SOMM, along with recordings that celebrate Geminiani, J.S. Bach, and Telemann. The group’s co-founder and director, period-instrument violinist Adrian Butterfield, has been described as “a marvel” by Gramophone for his recordings of Leclair’s first three books of violin sonatas. The solo concerto emerged in Italy in the early 18th century through composers like Torelli, Albinoni and, particularly, Vivaldi. J.S. Bach acquired a copy of Vivaldi’s popular set of twelve concertos, L’Estro Armonico, to transcribe and study, and he put his own stamp on concerto writing with works that are larger in scale, making use of more detailed contrapuntal development and a greater degree of harmonic variety. When Jean-Marie Leclair met an untimely death on 23 October, 1764 in a still-unsolved murder in Paris, he left behind a stellar reputation as the founder of the French violin school, along with a collection of works for violin that includes four volumes of solo violin sonatas and two volumes of violin concertos; his Op. 7, heard here, and Op. 10, to follow in the near future. These virtuosic and elegant violin concertos are something of an amalgam of the Italian concerto style and of Bach’s formalistic innovations. - [Clarinet Concertos](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/clarinet-concertos/) - SOMM Recordings is pleased to release Clarinet Concertos, four works for solo clarinet and wind orchestra, including two world-premiere recordings. The soloist is the English clarinettist, Peter Cigleris, who enjoys a wide and varied career and is in great demand as a soloist and chamber musician. His burgeoning career as a clarinet soloist has taken him to Festivals in Spain, France, the Netherlands, and the U.S. Recently, he was invited to perform in Győr, Hungary for the European Clarinet Festival, which led to a special invitation from the Győr Symphonic Band to record four hugely enjoyable concertos for clarinet and wind orchestra. These are conducted by László Marosi, the world’s foremost authority on Hungarian wind music, and Ferenc Szabó, the founder of the Györ Symphonic Band. This release opens with the première recording of Concerto Semplice for clarinet and wind orchestra by the prolific Hungarian composer Frigyes Hidas (1928–2007). The concerto is written in a direct, almost classical, tonal language that portrays the composer’s belief in traditional forms and syntax. Cigleris has given première performances of a number of new works for the clarinet, and he played the first performance of Sonatina in One Movement by the award-winning British composer Simon Milton. So, when composing his Concerto for Clarinet and Band, Milton knew that he “could push what I felt was playable and turn it into a challenge, whilst also maintaining a lyrical and sweet sound to the clarinet part.” SOMM presents the première recording here. The Concerto for Clarinet and Wind Orchestra, written in 2014 by American composer David Maslanka (1943–2017), is an imposing composition in two large movements: “Lamentation” and “Dance.” He described these as relating to “old forms such as the toccata and fugue – a free improvisatory movement followed by a rhythmically energized and formally strict second movement.” - [David Matthews: Anna: Symphonic Diptych, Symphony No. 11 & Flute Concerto](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/david-matthews-anna-symphonic-diptych-symphony-no-11-flute-concerto/) - SOMM Recordings is proud to present world premiere recordings of works by David Matthews, hailed as one of the leading symphonists of our time. His diverse output is superbly represented here by a Symphonic Diptych from his opera, Anna; his Symphony No. 11; and his Flute Concerto. The release of first recordings features Dutch conductor Jac van Steen and the Ulster Orchestra, of which he is Honorary Principal Guest Conductor. Both are frequent SOMM collaborators, most recently on Manuel de Falla: The Three-Cornered Hat, Nights in the Gardens of Spain & Seven Spanish Folk Songs, SOMMCD 0694, about which Gramophone magazine wrote, “when van Steen unleashes the full orchestra … the tone is big and generous.” They are joined by flautist Emma Halnan, winner of the BBC Young Musician Competition in 2010 in the woodwind category. She was also elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM) in the Academy’s 2024 Honours, recognizing alumni of the Academy who have distinguished themselves in the music profession. Emma enjoys commissioning new works, and composers who have written for her include Sir Karl Jenkins, James Francis Brown, and, as here, David Matthews. David Matthews’ first opera Anna had its concert premiere at The Grange Hampshire in July 2023, conducted by Jac van Steen. Shortly afterwards, Jac suggested that David should make an orchestral reduction, as Strauss had done for his Intermezzo and Die Frau ohne Schatten. So, in this Symphonic Diptych, David has compressed the opera into two movements, one for each act—I. Anna in Love and II. Lament for Anna—which tell the story in purely orchestral terms about a brother (Peter) and sister (Anna) and their different reactions to the revolution that has just taken place in their country. In transferring all the vocal parts to instruments, David has slightly increased the opera’s orchestra. - [Dancing in Vienna](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/dancing-in-vienna/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Pierre Monteux: A 150th Anniversary Tribute](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/pierre-monteux-a-150th-anniversary-tribute/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Holst: The Planets & Elgar: Introduction and Allegro, Salut d’Amour](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/holst-the-planets-elgar-introduction-and-allegro-salut-damour/) - SOMM Recordings is thrilled to collaborate once again with the Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman piano duo following their highly praised six-volume recording of the nine symphonies by Beethoven arranged for piano duet by Xaver Scharwenka—about which International Piano says, “These readings afford unmitigated pleasure … the articulation and voicing of the players persuades us into thinking we’re in the middle of an unleashed virtuoso orchestra.” Now, these award-winning South African-born artists present music for two pianos and piano duet from their adopted country, highlighting works by Gustav Holst and Edward Elgar. In the early 1910s, Holst became interested in astrology, and he conceived the idea of a suite for orchestra based on the solar system’s individual planets. Originally, he composed The Planets on the piano, using the instrument in his newly-built, sound-proofed room in the music wing at St Paul’s Girls School as well as the piano at his home in Thaxted. This version for four hands, two pianos was scored by two of his colleagues at St Paul’s, Vally Lasker and Nora Day, who acted as amanuenses, because Holst suffered intermittently from painful neuritis in his right hand. Following the resounding success of the orchestrated version of The Planets, the original piano duet score was overlooked, though it was eventually published separately in 1949–51. In 1979, Holst’s daughter, Imogen, reissued the complete two-piano arrangement in one volume, and Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman perform this version here. Elgar’s renown was such that, at the height of his fame, several established musicians were commissioned by publishers to make piano transcriptions of his orchestral music. This was no mean feat, given that Elgar’s scores are scrupulously marked as to how he wanted every phrase—sometimes even every bar or note within that phrase—to be played. It was the composer, arranger, and conductor, Otto Singer II, who made the transcription for piano four-hands of Elgar’s 1905 Introduction and Allegro, scored originally for solo string quartet and string orchestra. Singer’s insight and skill are evident in techniques like transferring string double-stopping to spread keyboard chords, and his piano four-hands version is admirably true to Elgar’s evolving contrapuntal and harmonic ideas. - [Piano Quintets](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-quintets/) - SOMM Recordings’ fruitful collaboration with Leon Bosch, renowned double bass player and director of I Musicanti, has recently produced a group of world premiere recordings, which consist of four delightful and interestingly disparate British Piano Quintets. The two quintets by Percy Godfrey (1899-1945) and Richard Walthew (1872-1951) fall within a post-Romantic idiom reminiscent of Rachmaninoff’s music, while those of John McCabe (1939-2015) and Ivor Hodgson (b.1959) share terrific rhythmic vitality and modern harmonies whilst remaining entirely accessible. Although the music of Percy Godfrey is little known these days, he received two notable awards around the turn of the last century. In 1902, he won a competition for a Coronation March for King Edward VII and, in 1899, he was awarded the prize for a newly-announced chamber music competition. That winning piece was his Piano Quintet in E flat majorheard on this release. The quintet by Richard Walthew is titled Phantasy Quintet. Walthew was an important figure in English chamber music during the first half of the 20th century, having a natural affinity for the genre. His single movement Phantasy Quintet is his most successful chamber work, and it recreates the spirit of the Elizabethan consort through a varied statement-counterstatement-restatement format. John McCabe produced works in virtually every genre, including music for television. His theme tune for the 1973 family drama series, Sam, became a huge hit and was the inspiration for his 1989 chamber work, Sam Variations. As McCabe noted, “The theme itself is never heard direct – the nearest we get to it is in the rather enigmatic coda….But all of the material is taken from the theme and transformed in a variation-like way…” - [Alma: Ibero-American Songs](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/alma-ibero-american-songs/) - SOMM Recordings is excited to explore the fascinating and largely unknown repertoire of Ibero-American art songs. A shared passion for showcasing hidden jewels of Latin American song inspired the collaboration of Colombian soprano Julieth Lozano Rolong and Portuguese pianist João Araújo, who began their partnership while studying at the Royal College of Music. Julieth received the 2018 RCM President’s Award presented by RCM President, HM King Charles III. She won the Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Audience Prize in the 2023 Cardiff Singer of the World competition and was recently named one of Opera Wire’s Top Ten Rising Stars. João was awarded best collaborative pianist prizes at the Concours Musical International de Montréal in Canada and the Maureen Lehane Vocal Awards at Wigmore Hall, and he has been nominated for the Gerald Moore Award. Their recital includes songs in Spanish and Portuguese from seven countries. Reflecting Argentina is “Dance of Two Brothers” by the Impressionistic composer Carlos Guastavino, and “Canción de cuna india,” a haunting lullaby by Gilardo Gilardi, inspired by Argentina’s indigenous music. María Grever was the first Mexican female composer to gain international success. Her innate melodic gifts are evident in “My Soul” and “You Said ‘I Love You’.” “Uirapuru,” by Brazilian composer Waldemar Henrique, describes the song of the so-named musician wren, while the evocative “Bluebird” by compatriot, Jayme Ovalle, was embraced by sopranos like Victoria de los Ángeles and Montserrat Caballé, and baritone Gérard Souzay. Ernani Braga’s gift for transforming Afro-Brazilian musical elements is underscored in a song reflecting Brazilian folk religion and a sugar-mill workers’ song. The simple originality of Spanish composer, María de Pablos Cerezo, who tragically spent her final decades in a mental institution, is heard here in “The Water Wheel.” Ernesto Halffter’s much-admired arrangement of a popular fado, “Oh, What a Beautiful Girl” is followed by two selections arranged by the Spanish poet and playwright, Federico García Lorca: “The Moorish girls from Jaén” and “Sevillian Lullaby.” Barcelona native Fernando Obradors conjures the Andalusian dance, “El vito,” and from zarzuela composer, Joaquin “Quinito” Valverde Sanjuán, we have his sublime “Carnations.” - [Bliss: The Composer Conducts](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bliss-the-composer-conducts/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Poulenc Plays Poulenc and Satie](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/poulenc-plays-poulenc-and-satie/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Spring Fire – Arnold Bax: Complete Music for Cello and Piano](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/spring-fire-arnold-bax-complete-music-for-cello-and-piano/) - Spring Fire, the newest release from SOMM Recordings, highlights the complete music for cello and piano by Arnold Bax (1883–1953), with Alexander Baillie, recognized as one of the finest cellists of his generation, and pianist John Thwaites, his long-time musical partner. The Baillie-Thwaites Duo has capitalized on concert performances of the greatest twentieth-century British music over the last decade, and, with this recording, continues its enduring partnership with SOMM. The release takes its title from an early masterpiece by Bax, Spring Fire, a Symphony for Orchestra from 1913. Coming from a particularly fruitful period when Bax wrote a series of symphonic poems of consistently high quality, it may well have been inspired by his love for the beautiful young pianist Harriet Cohen. Theirs was a passionate love affair and a fertile artistic partnership that lasted forty years. Through force of circumstance, not least of which was World War I, Spring Fire was never performed during Bax’s lifetime; but he repurposed the haunting melody from its opening movement, In the forest before dawn, for the slow movement of the Cello Sonata in E flat minor. Performances of this three-movement Cello Sonata are vanishingly rare, which makes the present release all the more important. The recording opens with a little-known gem, the Folk-Tale for cello and piano. It is a gorgeous work dedicated to the English cellist, Felix Salmond, who gave the first performance at Wigmore Hall on 27 April 1918 with Bax at the piano. - [Elgar & Fauré: String Quartets](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/elgar-faure-string-quartets/) - The newest release from SOMM Recordings is an unusual but exciting pairing of two string quartets by British and French contemporaries Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934) and Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924). Also included is a collection of shorter gems transcribed for string quartet by the British composer, arranger, and pianist Iain Farrington. These comprise Elgar’s Carissima (originally composed for small orchestra) and selections from Fauré’s Piano Preludes: Nos. 4, 8, and 9, this last described by Aaron Copland as being “so absolutely simple that we can never hope to understand how it can contain such great emotional power.” This recording features the Eusebius Quartet, formed in 2016 out of a passion for the extraordinary music written for this instrumentation, and praised as “excellent” by The Sunday Times. Their debut CD for SOMM of the Korngold Piano Quintet & Quartet (SOMMCD 0642) received critical acclaim: “Wit and clarity abound in the Quartet’s Viennese-sounding performances,” The Strad; “The musicians seem to feel the music just as it is, complex on the surface, but direct and straight from the heart,” BBC Music Magazine. Elgar and Fauré met once at the time of the London premiere of Elgar’s First Symphony in 1908. Although Fauré spoke no English and Elgar’s French wasn’t exactly conversational, it’s fascinating to compare the musical language of their two quartets, both in the key of E minor, and written late in the composers’ lives. - [Holst: Beni Mora, Op. 29 No. 1 & Choral Symphony, Op. 41](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/holst-beni-mora-op-29-no-1-choral-symphony-op-41/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau: A Centenary Tribute](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/dietrich-fischer-dieskau-a-centenary-tribute/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Henry Purcell: The Complete Suites & Other Music for Keyboard](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/henry-purcell-the-complete-suites-other-keyboard-works/) - SOMM Recordings is pleased to release the first-ever recording on piano of the eight keyboard suites by one of England’s greatest creative artists, Henry Purcell (1659 –1695). Making his SOMM debut is the Romanian-British pianist Cristian Sandrin, who is building a career in the UK as a rising young artist following his debut solo recital at Wigmore Hall in 2017. Reviewers have noted “Sandrin’s generous sonorities issue forth in marvellous diversity,” Fanfare Magazine; and “An immaculately played recital,” Music Web International. Henry Purcell was at the height of his powers at the time of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which saw King William III and his wife Queen Mary II crowned as joint British monarchs. Queen Mary was an avid lover of dance, which led to it being a regular and expected part of Restoration theatrical productions. Purcell’s first great operatic work, Dido and Aeneas from the late 1680s, included no less than seventeen original dances. Purcell wrote in every form—ranging from theatre and church to concerts and balls—and his music dominated public demand in almost every genre. His success led to requests for music of all kinds, particularly dance movements, either singly or forming parts of suites for the keyboard. At the time, there was a growing fashion for French keyboard music, and Purcell willingly accepted the structural influences from that school. And yet, his music remained infused with the individual expression of an undoubtedly English composer. Tragically, Purcell died at the peak of his career on 21 November 1695 at his home in London. He is believed to have been 35 or 36 years old at the time. A year after his death, Purcell’s widow, Frances, posthumously published A Choice Collection of Lessons for the Harpsichord or Spinet. These eight suites, long overshadowed by his more celebrated theatre works, are the core of Purcell’s keyboard output, shifting from major to minor keys, from humour to seriousness, to create a uniquely expressive musical world. - [Frankly Speaking with Leopold Stokowski](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/frankly-speaking-with-leopold-stokowski/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [An English Pastoral](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/an-english-pastoral/) - In its latest release, SOMM Recordings focuses on Ivor Gurney, Arthur Bliss, and Gerald Finzi who, each in their own distinct way, played a pivotal role in the rapid transformation of English pastoralism in early twentieth-century British Music. Ian Venables’ music, also included on this disc, draws on a lineage that includes Gurney, Bliss, and Finzi, yet it incorporates modernist elements, creating a style that is uniquely his own. The seven works for violin and piano by Ivor Gurney—appearing here for the first time—come from 1908-1909, pre-dating his studies in London with Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. They include the poignant Elgarian Chanson Triste; In September and In August; a Romance; a Legende; a melodic Folk Tale; and a rare attempt at a lighter mood with a Humoreske. Arthur Bliss was wounded in the Battle of the Somme, and his single-movement Violin Sonata marks a transition in his musical style in response to the emotional and cultural upheaval of the War. Bridging the pastoral warmth of his early influences with the bold innovations that would soon define his voice, the sonata captures the last traces of English pastoral romanticism in Bliss’s output. The Elegy for Violin and Piano by Gerald Finzi exudes a pastoral tranquillity, but beneath its serene surface lies a complex emotional landscape shaped by the personal grief of losing his three brothers and his beloved teacher, Ernest Farrar, in World War I. This present performance also emphasises the Elegy’s contrapuntal texture and rhythmic precision, which show the influence of Bach, a cornerstone of Finzi’s musical inspiration. - [Ukraine: A Piano Portrait](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/ukraine-a-piano-portrait/) - With Ukraine’s defence of its sovereign nation against Russia’s invasion in the news and in our conscience, SOMM releases a timely recording that pays tribute to a rich heritage of Ukrainian music that was long subsumed by the former USSR. Margaret Fingerhut, described by Gramophone as a pianist of “consummate skill and thrilling conviction,” has become increasingly involved in using the power of music to raise money for charitable causes. In 2019, drawing on the stories and music of composers who had to leave their homelands because of war or persecution, she undertook a major recital tour, performing “Far from the Home I Love” at thirty-two venues across the UK to raise money for refugees. In 2022 she collaborated with a young Ukrainian film-maker on a powerful video in support of Ukraine. Margaret Fingerhut was awarded an MBE in the 2024 New Year Honours in recognition of her services to music and charitable fundraising. For SOMM’s recording, UKRAINE: A Piano Portrait, she has selected works written between 1877 and 2005 for a deeply personal recital featuring composers from the country of her grandfather’s birth. Mykola Lysenko, the earliest Ukrainian composer represented here, published a definitive ethnological study of the Ukrainian Dumky, and his Dumka-Shumka is from the opening pages of his second piano rhapsody on Ukrainian folk themes. We owe our knowledge of Lysenko’s music to his pupil and editor, Lev Revutsky, who fell foul of new Stalinist cultural demands in the 1930s, but later revisited earlier compositions that include Three Preludes and Improvisation. Viktor Kosenko, a contemporary of Revutsky, also pursued his composing career in Ukraine, and his expressive Nocturne comes from a set of Études for Piano in the Form of Old Dances. - [Boult's Elgar](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/boults-elgar/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Habanera](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/habanera/) - Multi-part music for the same instrument, dating back to Elizabethan viol consorts, remains outside the typical orchestral repertoire nowadays, but, as ever, SOMM remains true to its stellar reputation for presenting rare and singular releases. Habanera, Music for Eight Cellos and Voice is a joyous recording that grew out of a collaboration between baritone Roderick Williams, cellist Joely Koos—joint Artistic Directors for the 2023 Endellion Summer Music Festival—and British-Spanish soprano, Ana Beard Fernandez. Together, they devised a concert featuring cello ensemble and voice. Now, SOMM presents the formidable Endellion Cellists, together with Ana and Roderick, in a recording of these two artists’ uniquely colourful arrangements. The musicians are led by award-winning choral, orchestral, and operatic conductor William Vann. As an added bonus, Roderick Williams plays eighth cello, and recorder player Iain Hall joins the artists as fifth cello for this recital of shared pleasure and palpable fun. The programme opens with the most famous original composition for cello ensemble and voice: Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 for soprano solo and eight cellos by Heitor Villa-Lobos. The cycle of Siete Canciones Populares by Manuel de Falla is his most-arranged composition and one of the most frequently performed sets of Spanish-language art songs. - [Beethoven Symphonies, Volume 6](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-symphonies-volume-6/) - SOMM Recordings brings its major six-volume series of Franz Xaver Scharwenka’s transcriptions of Beethoven Symphonies to a close with his 9th Symphony, the monumental Choral Symphony. Since the first volume, listeners have eagerly awaited each new release in the series from duo pianists, Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman. As Ates Orga has noted in International Piano Magazine, “What in July 2021 began as something of a curio outing has blossomed into a major recording landmark.” Beethoven first conceived the idea of setting Schiller’s Ode to Joy to music when he was in his twenties; an early iteration of the theme in the song, Returned Love, comes from before 1795. His Choral Fantasy for piano, vocal soloists, mixed chorus, and orchestra followed in 1808, when he was thirty-eight. By the time he conducted his Choral Symphony No. 9 in D minor in Vienna on May 7, 1824, aged fifty-four, Beethoven was completely deaf. One of the iconic images in music history is that of the soprano gently turning him around, so he could see the rapturous response from the audience that he was unable to hear. The work had broken all barriers in terms of conception, duration, compositional power, and the incorporation of voices in the finale. The impact of the Choral Symphony was instantaneous and lasting. It was printed by Schott and Company within 18 months, and there were immediate demands for keyboard transcriptions. Given the forces that Beethoven employed in his 9th Symphony, transcribing the work for piano is challenging to say the least. The German pianist and composer, Xaver Scharwenka, was a student of Theodor Kullak, who had studied with Beethoven’s pupil, Carl Czerny, thus providing Scharwenka with a singular musical line leading back to Beethoven. His duet transcriptions of all nine Beethoven Symphonies, published in 1905, still remain a touchstone for musical understanding of the cycle. - [Telemann Paris Quartets, Vol. 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/telemann-paris-quartets-vol-1/) - Georg Philipp Telemann(1681–1767) was—to characterize him in contemporary terms—a workaholic, thanks to which we have, amongst his 3,000-plus works, his two sets of marvellously rich Paris Quartets. SOMM Recordings is pleased to release TELEMANN Paris Quartets Volume 1: 6 Quadri, featuring leading period-instrument specialists from The London Handel Players, praised by the New York Times for their “soulful depth” and their “consummate skill and musicianship.” At the height of his phenomenal productivity, Telemann held the positions of Kantor at the Johanneum Lateinschule in Hamburg; Kapellmeister to the five largest churches in the city; and Director of the Hamburg Opera. He also had obligations to the courts in Eisenach and Bayreuth. As if that wasn’t enough, he embarked on an ambitious project of self-publication of his works. Amongst these were Quartets for violin, flute, viola da gamba or cello, and continuo; divided into 2. Concertos, 2. Ballets, 2. Sonatas. The first set of quartets, or quadri, was published in Hamburg – certainly by 1730 though the exact date is unknown – and such was their popularity that they were republished in Paris by Le Clerc in 1736 without Telemann’s permission. It would seem that this prompted him to make a long-awaited visit to the French capital where he stayed for eight months in 1737–38. While there, he composed a second glorious set of quartets, naming his two collections Quadri and Nouveaux Quatuors. In the latter part of the 20th century, the editors of the Telemann Musikalische Werke titled the two sets collectively as The Paris Quartets, by which name we still know them. - [Philip Glass: Selected Piano Etudes - 10th Anniversary Special Edition](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/philip-glass-selected-piano-etudes-10th-anniversary-special-edition/) - To mark the November 2014 publication of Philip Glass’s 20 Etudes for piano, SOMM Recordings is proud to release a 10th Anniversary Special Edition of Philip Glass Selected Etudes performed by the versatile and eclectic pianist and composer, Giusto Di Lallo. Di Lallo poses a question to his audience that is typical of his creative vision: “Why offer the public another recording of Glass’s Piano Etudes when there are already dozens of them out there?” The answer is that when he first acquired the sheet music for the Etudes and began to analyse and study them, he was struck, “almost with disappointment,” by the fact that many pianists had deliberately transformed the sense of some of the Etudes. The main discrepancies that caught Di Lallo’s attention were primarily regarding the tempi, although he also realized that pianists had often altered the dynamics and phrasing as well. In wishing to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the publication of Glass’s Etudes then, Di Lallo chose a selection of the pieces, and attempted to stay as faithful as possible to the original intentions of the composer. He adhered strictly to the score to preserve the tempi, dynamics, and phrasing exactly as noted. His aim was to restore the work to its original spirit and present the Etudes in their most authentic form, creating a sort of reset point after ten years of several “personal” interpretations. - [Prokofiev Milestones, Vol. 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/prokofiev-milestones-vol-2/) - Following the success of Prokofiev Milestones Vol. 1, SOMM Recordings is pleased to announce the release of the second volume of Prokofiev Milestones featuring the Slovenian violinist Lana Trotovsek and Spanish pianist Maria Canyigueral. For Russian composers born in the last decades of the nineteenth-century, the October Revolution of 1917 was cataclysmic. Sergei Prokofiev (1891 – 1953) was born in Ukraine, known at that time as ‘Little Russia,’ and he sought exile in the United States in 1918. By 1924, he had appeared as soloist in his first three piano concertos in London. But the pull of his homeland remained strong, and in the mid 1930s he decided to return. The initial works that Prokofiev produced in the Soviet Union—the film score for Lieutenant Kijé, the children’s tale Peter and the Wolf, and the ballet Romeo and Juliet—enjoyed wide public success. It was against this backdrop that Prokofiev began work on his First Violin Sonata, Op. 80, one of his most serious works with a singular depth of expression. - [Bruckner From the Archives, Volume One](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bruckner-from-the-archives-volume-one/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bruckner-from-the-archives-vol-2/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bruckner-from-the-archives-vol-3/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bruckner-from-the-archives-vol-4/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 5](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bruckner-from-the-archives-vol-5/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 6](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bruckner-from-the-archives-vol-6/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Folksongs of Russia](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/folksongs-of-russia/) - A remarkable feature of the Ensemble is that the singers are all graduates of the Moscow Conservatoire handpicked for excellence both musically and vocally.

The group performs with exhilaration and touching insights. When it comes to the Ceremony of Carols the group presents one of the freshest, most vital readings of this enduring favourite. - [A Peter Warlock Christmas](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/a-peter-warlock-christmas/) - Peter Warlock has been described as a supreme carrolist of the century, perhaps of all time. Included on this disc are all his carols and some transcriptions suitable for Christmas tide.They are all lovely to sing and to listen to, and are superbly performed by the Allegri Singers directed by Louis Halsey. - [J.S.Bach: Christmas Organ Music & Inventions, Sinfonias, Fantasias & Fugues for Harpsichord](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/j-s-bach-christmas-organ-music-inventions-sinfonias-fantasias-fugues-for-harpsichord/) - SOMMCD 022-2 - Nicholas Jackson, Organ/Harpsichord.

Music for Christmas and beyond. The Hildegard Choir & Guests. Gulliver Ralston, Conductor, Emily Van Evera, Soprano This delightful recording with the Hildegard Choir of Oxford explores the rich repertoire of music written for female voices, focusing on the themes of childhood, motherhood (and fatherhood), and most obviously the Nativity from Mary’s perspective. The repertoire spans music from France, Germany, England, and some enchanting and little-known pieces from Slovakia. - [Carols from Chelsea](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/carols-from-chelsea/) - SOMM celebrates Christmas with Carols from Chelsea, a delicious offering from the Chapel Choir of the Royal Hospital Chelsea under their Director, William Vann. The Royal Hospital, founded in 1682 by Charles II, is the home of the iconic Chelsea Pensioners, who are all retired soldiers of the British Army. - [The Darkest Midnight: Songs of Winter and Christmas](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-darkest-midnight-songs-of-winter-and-christmas/) - All-female vocal ensemble Papagena presents “The Darkest Midnight” songs for winter from the Middle Ages to the modern era embracing the secular and the sacred. - [Penelope Thwaites: From Five Continents – Choral Music and Songs](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/penelope-thwaites-from-five-continents/) - Featuring 19 world premiere recordings, “From Five Continents” celebrates Penelope Thwaites' choral music and song compositions and featuring Ex Cathedra. - [Elgar: The Fringes of the Fleet](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/elgar-the-fringes-of-the-fleet/) - Revivals of rare repertoire including Elgar's The Fringes of the Fleet (first professional orchestral recording since 1917); John Ansell's Plymouth Hoe and Windjammer overtures; Haydn Wood's Manx Overture and Elizabeth of England - [Delius & Ireland Partsongs](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/delius-ireland-partsongs/) - Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir Paul Spicer, Director Frederick Delius John Ireland SOMM celebrates two significant anniversaries this year: the 150th anniversary of Frederick Delius and the 50th anniversary of John Ireland, both composers whose choral and vocal music represents some of their most interesting work. - [Partsongs by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/partsongs-by-sir-charles-villiers-stanford/) - Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choice/Paul Spicer There has been renewed interest in the music of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford recently and with the kind support of the Stanford Society, SOMM now turns the spotlight on Stanford's Partsongs in the second of a series of recordings with the Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir who have become one of Britain's best choral groups in recent years, under the direction of Paul Spicer. Stanford's church music as well as the orchestral and chamber music are well represented on disc. Some of his secular songs have, in the past, been performed and recorded yet his 60-or-so partsongs are far less well known. This is the first CD fully devoted to Stanford's partsongs. In addition, the beautifully crafted eight Partsongs Op. 119 set to poems by Mary Coleridge (The Witch, Farewell My Joy, The Bluebird, The Train, The inkbottle, The Swallow, Chillingham, My heart in thine), appear on CD as a complete set for the very first time. SOMM's recording also contains 9 Songs, which are premiere recordings (Diaphenia, Corydon Arise, A Dirge , Peace Come Away, To Chloris, On a hill, Like Desert Woods, To his flocks, A lover's ditty, Praised be Diana). - [Howells: When First Thine Eies Unveil](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/howells-when-first-thine-eies-unveil/) - Mass in the Dorian Mode Before me careless lying In Youth is Pleasure Levavi oculos meos (first recording) Long, long ago O Salutaris Hostia Walking in the Snow Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir Paul Spicer, Director Jonathan Stamp, Organ 'The Past is clear, the Present confused... the Great Composer is he who can master the Present through the wisdom of the Past.' For Herbert Howells, the past lived on in a very special way. From his early days at Lydney Parish Church and Gloucester Cathedral, Howells became enchanted by the 'immemorial sound of voices'. Not only did he feel most at home within the Anglican choral tradition, but his music has come to redefine that tradition within the twentieth century and beyond. - [Samuel Barber: Choral Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/samuel-barber-choral-music/) - Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir Paul Spicer, Director with Ben Kennedy piano*, Matthew Firkins timpani+ and Birmingham Conservatoire Brass Ensemble** "In the hands of Paul Spicer, Howell's music acquires an enhanced richness and insight into the phrasing of the composer's long, contrapuntal lines. A lovely disc." Gramophone (SOMMCD 0140), Choral Music by Herbert Howells). This fourth disc in SOMM's series of recordings with Paul Spicer and his Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir gives us most of Barber's utterly beautiful, neo-Romantic choral music. Barber wrote a great deal of choral music written in a traditional nineteenth-century tonal idiom, despite the fact that his critics called it 'utterly anachronistic and passé', a criticism to which he remained largely impervious. There was no denying however, that his technical brilliance and emotional immediacy placed him at the forefront of American music. - [English Visionaries: Williams, Holst & Howells](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/english-visionaries-williams-holst-howells/) - Vaughan Williams A Vision of Aeroplanes solo: Victoria Adams Prayer to the Father of Heaven Mass in G minor (solists: Elizabeth Adams, Nicola Starkie, David Emerson, William Gee) Lord, Thou hast been our refuge (solists: Elizabeth Adams, Lucy Morton, Richard James, Andrew Randall with Jonathan Sheppard (trumpet) Holst The Evening Watch Op. 43 No. 1 (solists: Richard James, Eloise Waterhouse) Sing me the Men Howells The House of the Mind - [South of the Line: Choral Music by John Joubert](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/south-of-the-line-choral-music-by-john-joubert/) - SOMM’s celebration of John Joubert’s 90th birthday March 2017 brings to the catalogue yet more new riches, this time no less than seven première recordings of his choral music. South of the Line (together with Autumn Rain) was recorded last June at the Birmingham Conservatoire and poignant is the fact that it was commissioned from the composer for the opening of the Adrian Boult Hall and the last music heard there for this recording, before its demolition. - [Sir Hubert Parry: Twelve Sets of English Lyrics Volume II](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/sir-hubert-parry-twelve-sets-of-english-lyrics-volume-ii/) - In the centenary anniversary year of Hubert Parry’s death, the eagerly-awaited second volume in Somm’s complete survey of his English Lyrics highlights a deeply-felt connection to the richly evocative language of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. There is breadth, too, ranging eloquently into the romantic realms of 18th- and 19th-century texts and the nascent modernity of the 20th century. - [The Glory and the Dream: Choral Music by Richard Rodney Bennett](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-glory-and-the-dream-choral-music-by-richard-rodney-bennett/) - Somm Recordings celebrates the sublime choral music of Richard Rodney Bennett – best known to a wider audience for his Academy Award-nominated scores to the films Murder on the Orient Express and Far from the Madding Crowd – with 11 first recordings and a vivid new recording of his choral masterpiece, The Glory and the Dream. Performed by the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir, directed by Paul Spicer and with dexterous support from organist Nicholas Morris, The Glory and the Dream features 12 varied and vivacious choral pieces composed over more than 50 years. The disc’s striking title work sets Wordsworth’s ode Intimations of Immortality to music that conjures childhood rapture and adult fears with the utmost finesse and feeling and features a fearsomely complex and challenging organ accompaniment. - [Beethoven Symphonies, Volume 5](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-symphonies-volume-five/) - SOMM Recordings proudly announces this fifth and penultimate release in the complete cycle of the Beethoven Symphonies arranged for piano four-hands by the great Polish-German composer and pianist Xaver Scharwenka. This is a series that has consistently had listeners “waiting impatiently for the next volume” (MusicWeb International). - [Manuel de Falla: The Three-Cornered Hat, Nights in the Gardens of Spain & Seven Spanish Folk Songs](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/manuel-de-falla-the-three-cornered-hat-nights-in-the-gardens-of-spain-seven-spanish-folk-songs/) - SOMM Recordings is pleased to announce a release devoted to the singular 20th century Spanish composer and pianist, Manuel de Falla, with three late-Romantic scores that capture the very essence of Spain: The Three-Cornered Hat, Nights in the Gardens of Spain and Seven Spanish Folksongs. Against the backdrop of the First World War, Falla found fame and recognition in Spain as not only a leading composer, but one with a growing international reputation. This status was confirmed when Sergei Diaghilev commissioned the ballet, El sombrero de tres picos, for the Ballet Russes to perform in London in 1919, with stage designs by Pablo Picasso. The ballet, like the novel by Pedro Antonio de Alarcon that inspired it, incorporates Spanish storytelling that conjures up everyday village life, and Falla’s music is rich in echoes of traditional Spanish folk tunes. - [Camille Saint-Saëns: Music for Two Pianos](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/camille-saint-saens-music-for-two-pianos/) - SOMM Recordings is pleased to present Music for Two Pianos by the French virtuoso pianist and composer, Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 – 1921), whose output for solo and duo pianists totals almost 200 compositions. The programme on this release comprises original works for two pianos alongside selections transcribed by Saint-Saëns from his orchestral pieces. The featured pianists, Artur Pizarro and Ludovico Troncanetti, made their piano duo debut in Lisbon in 2023 with a recital featuring the repertoire on this album. The artists share a love of performing two-piano and four-hands repertoire, and they have plans to continue their collaboration with further projects on stage and in the studio. The renowned Portuguese pianist, Artur Pizarro, winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition amongst others, performs internationally as a recitalist, chamber musician, and soloist with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. The Italian pianist, Ludovico Troncanetti, is a graduate of the Milan Conservatory and is actively involved in reviving the works of the Russian pianist and composer Anton Rubinstein. - [Smetana 200](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/smetana-200/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Waltzes](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/waltzes/) - SOMM Recordings is delighted to announce a stunning new solo piano recital from label veteran Peter Donohoe following his recent acclaimed coupling of Chopin’s Second and Third Sonatas with Rachmaninoff’s Chopin Variations, over which BBC Music Magazine’s Rebecca Franks enthused,“Donohoe’s approach has a robust honesty and an appealing straightforward feel, with an instinct for the emotional rises and falls.” Now the pianist revisits Chopin in the genre for which the composer is arguably best known and loved: the waltz. Donohoe has fashioned a substantial selection of 14 of Chopin’s Waltzes into a set of his own design, juxtaposing the intimate numbers with the grand and virtuosic in fortuitous key relationships that the pianist says “form a more satisfying collection” compared with simply playing them through as numbered. - [War Poems](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/war-poems/) - SOMM Recordings is delighted to announce the new solo piano album War Poems by phenomenal Ukrainian pianist Maria Narodytska. With this, her debut album on SOMM Recordings, she makes a bold and impassioned, yet inclusive artistic statement, using solo piano works of various historical periods, written in the midst of conflict (our own included), to ask listeners to reflect on the ravages of war and safeguard the flickering flame of hope in peace. As the vastly talented composer of a work on this recital, Narodytska writes as a Ukrainian, but performs her programme as a member of the artistic community and a world citizen. - [Holst: Sāvitri, Choral Hymns from Rig Veda, 4 Songs, The Evening Watch, Hammersmith, The Perfect Fool Suite & The Planets](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/holst-savitri-choral-hymns-from-rig-veda-4-songs-the-evening-watch-hammersmith-the-perfect-fool-suite-the-planets/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [African Pianism, Volume Two](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/african-pianism-volume-two/) - SOMM Recordings is thrilled to announce African Pianism, Volume 2, a new instalment in a collection of piano music by African composers. Following suit from her critically acclaimed first African Pianism album, Rebeca Omordia brings us a fascinating programme with no less than 8 First Recordings. Among these is the 4th in a selection of three Studies in African Pianism by Akin Euba, a Nigerian composer who makes a return on this second volume and whose “African Pianism” style, inspired by the research of Ghanaian composer J.H. Kwabena Nketia (see vol.1), shares its name with this outstanding series as a whole. - [Franz Schmidt: The Book With Seven Seals; Symphony No. 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/franz-schmidt-the-book-with-seven-seals-symphony-no-4/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Total Eclipse: Handel at Home, Volume 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/total-eclipse-handel-at-home-vol-2/) - …“full of the most delicious music you could ask to hear, and the players give every indication of loving every note they play” was how one enthusiastic reviewer described the first volume of aria arrangements on SOMM, of “Handel at Home” (SOMMCD 055) with the London Handel Players in Pan Magazine. Indeed, it is an attestation of Handel’s power to speak to the very depths of one’s soul, to touch the heart and to rouse the spirit that after many years performing the repertoire, the London Handel Players present here “Handel at Home” Vol 2. A second selection of popular operatic arias either in contemporary settings or their own arrangements inspired by the original luscious scoring. - [George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra: The Forgotten Recordings](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/george-szell-and-the-cleveland-orchestra-the-forgotten-recordings/) - The first release of never before available performances in a specially priced two-CD set: George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra: The Forgotten Recordings. - [The Pre-Raphaelite Cello](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-pre-raphaelite-cello/) - SOMM Recordings is proud to announce a recital disc from cellist Adrian Bradbury and pianist Andrew West titled The Pre-Raphaelite Cello – at once ground-breaking and celebratory, and rich with first recordings. The curiosity piqued by the album’s unusual name will be amply rewarded with the fascinating story of the artistic threads this programme weaves together and their relevance to important commemorations being observed this year. - [Beethoven Symphonies, Volume 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-symphonies-volume-3/) - SOMM Recordings announces Volume 3 of the Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman Piano Duo’s ground-breaking series exploring Franz Xaver Scharwenka’s arrangements of Beethoven Symphonies. - [Beethoven Symphonies, Volume 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-symphonies-volume-4/) - SOMM Recordings is happy to present the fourth release in the planned First Recordings of the complete Beethoven Symphonies in the legendary edition for piano duet by Xaver Scharwenka, continuing a direct connection to Beethoven via his teacher Franz Kullak who studied with Beethoven’s pupil Carl Czerny, played by the ‘wholly exceptional’ duo of Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman. This new CD couples Beethoven’s Symphonies 1 & 6 ‘Pastoral’ together with Busoni’s brilliant Concertino BV88 on a theme of Mozart K459, for Two Pianos. Extract from the Duo’s recent Gramophone Blog: We would like to highlight our personal historical connection to this music – particularly the Zeitgeist of Berlin, the city where Scharwenka lived and worked. Tessa’s mother Helga Bassel was a concert pianist who also hailed from Berlin, and in the 1930s had to seek refuge in Cape Town. She was indeed fortunate to be able to leave Germany accompanied by her Blüthner grand piano and her collection of piano music which included Scharwenka’s duo transcriptions of the nine Beethoven symphonies.” - [Birdsong](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/birdsong/) - Birdsong: a fascinating cross-gender exploration of art songs associated with the female voice by baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Andrew West. - [Stephen Dodgson Songs, Volume 1: The Peasant Poet](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/stephen-dodgson-songs-volume-1-the-peasant-poet/) - SOMM announces a three-volume series devoted to the rich and varied songs of Stephen Dodgson on the eve of the 10th anniversary of his death in 2013, aged 89. - [Beethoven Symphonies, Volume 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-symphonies-volume-1/) - The first of a six-volume series of Franz Xaver Scharwenka’s transcriptions of Beethoven Symphonies featuring the Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman Piano Duo - [Beecham Conducts Sibelius](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beecham-conducts-sibelius/) - The only known live recording of Sir Thomas Beecham conducting Sibelius’s Symphony No.1 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to mark its 75th anniversary. - [Beethoven Symphonies, Volume 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-symphonies-volume-2/) - The second volume of the Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman Piano Duo’s ground-breaking series exploring Franz Xaver Scharwenka’s transcriptions of Beethoven Symphonies - [Serge Koussevitzky Conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra – Live](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/serge-koussevitzky-conducts-the-london-philharmonic-orchestra-live/) - The first recordings of live performances of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth and Sibelius’ Second Symphonies by Serge Koussevitzky and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. - [Pierre Monteux Live](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/pierre-monteux-live/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [Medtner in England](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/medtner-in-england/) - SOMM Recordings announces Medtner in England, a revelatory new recording exploring the musical life of Nikolai Medtner, featuring violinist Natalia Lomeiko, pianist Alexander Karpeyev and baritone Theodore Platt. Born in Moscow, Medtner was to adopt England as his home, dying in London, aged 70, in 1951. The English capital seemed to provide him with a liberating creative space as the three featured works here eloquently suggest. Simultaneously composed between 1935 and 1938 were the two-movement Op. 56 Sonata-Idylle in G major – which moves from its ‘Pastorale’ opening to, as composer and pianist Francis Pott comments in his authoritative booklet notes, “a valedictory late-summer haze” – and its immediate successor, the four-part, symphony-sized Epica Violin Sonata No. 3, “an act of remembrance” for Medtner’s brother, Emil. Both works are the product of a period in which Medtner was attempting to “pare down the virtuosity of his piano writing”. And both, in their intricate design and execution, illustrate his productive struggle with the ambition. From his more than 100 songs, the posthumously assembled miscellany of the Op. 61 Eight Songs span the near quarter-century from 1927 to the year of Medtner’s death. Employing poems by Pushkin, Lermontov, Eichendorff and Fyodor Tyutchev, they are variegated exercises in temperament and mood that look back towards Schubert and forwards to Medtner’s own distinctive way in setting words and conveying emotions. - [Mirage: Piano Music by Stephen Dodgson](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/mirage-piano-music-by-stephen-dodgson/) - SOMM Recordings is pleased to announce the release of Mirage, a recital of piano music by Stephen Dodgson performed by Osman Tack in his impressive label debut. Featuring 22 first recordings, Mirage is the third volume in a series marking the 10th anniversary of Dodgson’s death in 2013, and celebrates a composer of “urbane and civilised” music, as Robert Matthew-Walker describes it in his informative booklet notes. The recital spans seven decades from 1956’s Eight Fanciful Pieces – “a judiciously varied suite… bound by the directness of utterance that so distinguished Dodgson’s music” – to his second set of Six Bagatelles composed in 2005 when “his inspiration burned brightly in his eighties”. - [J.S. Bach: Mass in B Minor (Recordings 1946-1951)](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/j-s-bach-mass-in-b-minor-recordings-1946-1951/) - This account of Bach's great Mass is important for the quality of the singing as well as for Enescu's impressive overall conception. The singing of both Peter Pears in the Benedictus and Kathleen Ferrier in the succeeding Agnus Dei is truly exceptional. - [Canticle of the Sun: Choral Music by Stephen Dodgson](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/canticle-of-the-sun-choral-music-by-stephen-dodgson/) - SOMM Recordings announces Canticle of the Sun, an album dedicated to choral works by Stephen Dodgson. This recording adds to SOMM’s growing discography of music by this unjustly neglected and richly deserving British composer (the label last year launched an ongoing three-volume series embracing Dodgson’s rich and varied output of songs) on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth. - [Vaughan Williams: A Birthday Garland](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/vaughan-williams-a-birthday-garland/) - SOMM RECORDINGS is delighted to announce Vaughan Williams – A Birthday Garland, a recording of baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Susie Allan’s popular 2022 concert tribute to Ralph Vaughan Williams originally marking the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth. Curating a “fantasy birthday party concert” in tribute to “the grand-daddy of 20th-century English song”, Williams has assembled pieces by RVW and 18 fellow composers. The result is a wide-ranging celebration of the rich variety of English song over a century and more that pays tribute to Vaughan Williams’ influence with songs inspired by poets ranging from Shakespeare and Tennyson to W.B. Yeats and Walt Whitman. - [Carole Farley sings Grieg](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/carole-farley-sings-grieg/) - Somm Recordings launches its new re-issues and historical label, Ariadne, with a spell-binding collection of songs by Edvard Grieg performed by the legendary soprano Carole Farley and José Serebrier conducting the London Philharmonic and Philharmonia orchestras. Released by Dinemec Classics in 1998, Carole Farley sings Grieg Songs follows Somm’s acclaimed recording of Grieg’s Piano Concerto and Piano Concerto No. 2 (arranged and orchestrated by Robert Matthew-Walker) by Mark Bebbington. Sensational American soprano Carole Farley brings enormous passion and exquisite poetry to intensely personal songs originally composed for piano accompaniment but here richly orchestrated by José Serebrier. Sung in Norwegian (with Norwegian texts and English translations in the booklet) the sublime result showcases Grieg at his most evocative, Farley at her most expressive and Serebrier at his most nuanced. - [John Carol Case Centenary Tribute: Winterreise](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/john-carol-case-centenary-tribute-winterreise/) - SOMM’s Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th celebrations continue with Vaughan Williams Live, Volume 3 featuring signature works conducted by the composer himself. - [L’Arlésienne – Alphonse Daudet and Georges Bizet](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/larlesienne-alphonse-daudet-and-georges-bizet/) - SOMM RECORDINGS is delighted to announce a revelatory new perspective on Georges Bizet’s much-loved L’Arlésienne with the re-issue of his complete stage music for Alphonse Daudet’s play and a new dramatization of Daudet’s original short story by Jon Tolansky. First staged in 1872, L’Arlésienne is, as Tolansky remarks in his illuminating notes, an “evocative and poignant tale about broken love set in a small Provençal community”. One that inspired Bizet “to compose some of the most heartrendingly poignant tones he ever created”. - [Stanford: Cushendall, Irish Song Cycles](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/stanford-cushendall-irish-song-cycles/) - SOMM Recordings continues its acclaimed championing of the music of Charles Villiers Stanford with Cushendall, a captivating collection of his Irish song cycles by mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty, baritone Benjamin Russell and pianist Finghin Collins. Twelve first recordings include the seven-part Cushendall, a trio of Blarney Ballads, and two songs from Stanford’s opera Shamus O’Brien. Composed during a period of political turbulence in his native Ireland, the Irish song cycles, Stanford’s biographer Jeremy Dibble comments in his authoritative notes, “undoubtedly articulate an increasing sense of regret, isolation and personal nostalgia [for what] was no longer the country and home he had known from his youth”. - [Natural Connection: Piano Music Inspired by the Natural World](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/natural-connection-piano-music-inspired-by-the-natural-world/) - SOMM RECORDINGS is delighted to announce the release of Natural Connection, a captivatingly lyrical new recording by pianist Leon McCawley featuring music for solo piano inspired by the natural world. The effect of the ever-changing seasons has been a perpetual inspiration for composers since Ancient Greece’s Delphic hymns and before, down to the present day, arguably finding its richest expression, as Robert Matthew-Walker’s erudite booklet notes argue, in the generations who alternatively espoused Romanticism and Impressionism. Nine composers, each with their own individual but complementary responses, are featured in a 21-track recital of miniature gems traversing the inexorable turn of the year’s cycle from Christian Sinding’s tremulous signature, Rustle of Spring, to Grieg’s sublimely tentative To the Spring. In between, popular pieces by Debussy (Clair de Lune) and Saint-Saëns (The Swan) vie with assorted works by Tchaikovsky (selections from The Seasons), Ravel (the liquescent Jeux d’eau), Bartók (the delightful From the Diary of a Fly and atmospheric The Night’s Music), and Rachmaninov (the gentle Lilacs and poetic Daisies). The most expressive pianist-composer of his age, Liszt, contributes three pieces including the sighing ebb-and-flow of Au lac de Wallenstadt and stormy Orage, to eloquently link this multi-faceted and evocative, often moving, collection of responses to the living world. - [Prokofiev Milestones, Volume One](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/prokofiev-milestones-volume-one/) - SOMM RECORDINGS announces the first volume of Prokofiev Milestones, featuring three characterful sonatas and a sparkling arrangement of music from Romeo and Juliet performed by violinist Lana Trotovšek and flutist Boris Bizjak , accompanied by Maria Canyigueral on piano. Prokofiev Milestones revealingly turns the focus away from the prolific composer’s famed orchestral works and celebrated ballets to his rich and varied chamber music. - [Rachmaninoff Variations on a Theme of Chopin; Chopin Piano Sonatas Nos. 2 & 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/rachmaninoff-variations-on-a-theme-of-chopin-chopin-piano-sonatas-nos-2-3/) - SOMM RECORDINGS is delighted to announce the return of pianist Peter Donohoe to the label following his acclaimed complete survey of Mozart’s Piano Sonatas with a dazzling new recital coupling Rachmaninoff – on the 150th anniversary of his birth in 1873 – and Chopin. “Rachmaninoff is unimaginable without Chopin,” asserts Russian music expert Marina Frolova-Walker in authoritative booklet notes that point to Rachmaninoff’s long engagement with Chopin’s music in the concert hall and recording studio. Donohoe’s recital explores the intricate connections between the two composers, beginning with Rachmaninoff’s Op.22 Variations on a Theme of Chopin. They embrace “a broad array of styles and genres, in a kind of theatrical quick-change routine that leaves us marvelling at the extreme contrasts in music that still embraces the same theme”. A work Rachmaninoff played at both his graduation recital in 1892 and his last public recital, six weeks before his death in 1943, Chopin’s Second Piano Sonata (Op.35) boasts a lowering funeral march and a groundbreaking finale. Chopin’s Third Piano Sonata (Op.58) is a work of exhilarating contrasts, intensity balanced by poetry, its high-Romantic style making formidable virtuosic demands of the piano. - [Orchestral Music by Howard Blake](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/orchestral-music-by-howard-blake/) - SOMM Recordings is delighted to announce the label debut of the acclaimed British composer Howard Blake with a disc of his orchestral music to mark his 85th birthday. Blake himself is heard at the piano and conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra, with Paul Daniel also conducting the English Northern Philharmonia. Internationally recognised as the composer of The Snowman’s ‘Walking on Air’, Blake’s prolific and wide-ranging achievements extend into symphonies, concertos, oratorios and music for solo piano to embrace the concert hall, dance stage and cinema screen. - [Cascade](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/cascade/) - SOMM Recordings announces Cascade, the exhilarating new recital by pianist Cordelia Williams featuring music by Beethoven, Schumann, and Prokofiev. Cascade explores music’s mercurial ability to change in an instant, to reveal depths beneath the surface, and to illustrate, as Williams says, “that the whole world can change entirely in one twist of perspective, one change of angle, to offer a glimpse of something bigger”. Early and late Beethoven bookend the programme. Unpublished in his lifetime, the C major Bagatelle (WoO 56) flickers and glints, sparkles and surprises with kaleidoscope-like brilliance. His Op.126 Six Bagatelles – among the very last pieces he wrote for solo piano – alternate between the introspective and the garrulous, each turned inside out to reveal new facets and features. A variegated collection of 20 miniatures with hints of Chopin, Scriabin and Shostakovich to be found, Prokofiev’s Visions fugitives, Op.22 are essentially a series of meditations, each individually pursuing a specific idea or mood while collectively exploring the hinterland between surface appearance and what lies beneath; and all expressed with comparable crystalline clarity. Schumann’s Waldszenen (Forest Scenes), his last major cycle for solo piano, is an enchanted landscape lit up by beguiling pastoralism and shadow-cast by darker recesses of the imagination.

The Hills of Dreamland takes its title from a line in Elgar’s well-known setting, beautifully still and beseeching, of Arthur L Salmon’s Pleading. Historically the least regarded part of Elgar’s output, his songs contain a treasure-trove of vocal gems and here receive performances of insight, imagination and emotional directness. - [Leonard Bernstein: Broadway to Hollywood](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/leonard-bernstein-broadway-to-hollywood/) - SOMM Recordings celebrates the centenary of Leonard Bernstein’s birth in style with a remarkable 1993 live broadcast recording – never before issued and newly mastered for CD – with the Hannover Philharmonie conducted by Iain Sutherland. - [Bantock Rediscovered](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/bantock-rediscovered/) - Somm Recordings is proud to announce a landmark recording for lovers of British music featuring 23 first recordings of piano pieces by Sir Granville Bantock, one of the most influential British composers of his age.

Fiercely imbued with the spirit of Beethoven, Mendelssohn’s Opp. 12, 13 and 80 quartets brim and boil with an innovation, dynamism, emotional sincerity and technical flair some would deny the composer. These deeply felt performances from the Tippett Quartet present Mendelssohn in a new light and challenge Hans von Bülow’s notorious observation that he “began as a genius and ended as a talent”. - [Beethoven Plus, Volume 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-plus-volume-1/) - The launch of Somm Recordings’ inspirational Beethoven Plus series sees violinist Krysia Osostowicz and pianist Daniel Tong commissioning 10 leading contemporary composers to write ‘companion’ pieces for – and inspired by – Beethoven’s seminal set of 10 Violin Sonatas. The result is a fascinating conversation between past and present in which Beethoven’s mastery of the form receives illuminating – and often surprising – commentary from entirely modern perspectives. - [Piano Concertos by Grieg & Delius](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-concertos-by-grieg-delius/) - An evergreen masterpiece, an under-appreciated jewel and a great ‘what might have been’ – pianist Mark Bebbington and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jan Latham Koenig explore the personal and musical connections between Edvard Grieg and Frederick Delius for Somm Recordings. Heard together on disc for the first time, the Piano Concertos by Grieg and Delius reveal the full extent of the composers’ friendship and mutual admiration. Their music seems to share and exalt in ideals of beauty and tone, scale and sentiment to produce a consummate and complementary coupling. - [Mozart Piano Concertos for One, Two and Three Pianos](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/mozart-piano-concertos-for-one-two-and-three-pianos/) - Mozart’s progress from child prodigy to mature brilliance, from innocent insight to inspired innovation, is measured out in his piano music. Somm’s survey of six works for one, two and three pianos brilliantly charts both his phenomenal development and his far-reaching transformation of the concerto form. Two of today’s finest, most accomplished and admired pianists – Valerie Tryon and Peter Donohoe – bring unrivalled experience to bear in impeccable, incisive and illuminating accounts of the solo and duo works. The young, fast-rising Mishka Rushdie Momen joins them for the discretely dazzling Piano Concerto No.7 (K242) for three pianos. - [Rubbra Symphonies Nos 2 & 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/rubbra-symphonies-nos-2-4/) - History is re-claimed with two significant archive recordings of a master British symphonist in his early prime on Somm Céleste. The first appearance on disc of Edmund Rubbra conducting the wartime premiere of his own Fourth Symphony (taken from an off-air recording of the live broadcast) is coupled with a live 1954 BBC radio broadcast – considered “quite stupendous” by the composer – of the Second Symphony conducted by the work’s dedicatee, Sir Adrian Boult. Featuring the BBC Symphony Orchestra, both performances have been restored and re-mastered for SOMM Recordings by multiple award-winner Ted Kendall. - [The Gluepot Connection](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-gluepot-connection/) - The Gluepot Connection celebrates the coming together of a generation of established and emerging composers who defined British music in the middle of the last century (and beyond) in a cornerstone of British life – the local pub. “That bloody Gluepot” was the nickname given to The George public house in central London by Sir - [Music for Chorus & Orchestra](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/music-for-chorus-orchestra/) - The growing genius of a titan of English music comes vividly into focus in a stunning collection of Edward Elgar’s music for chorus and orchestra from the Brighton Festival Chorus and BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth. - [Stravinsky: Music for Solo Piano and Piano and Orchestra](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/stravinsky-music-for-solo-piano-and-piano-and-orchestra/) - Peter Donohoe’s compelling journey through the complete Prokofiev and subsequently the complete Scriabin Piano Sonatas for SOMM has led him almost irresistibly to the piano music of Stravinsky whose exuberance and many technical challenges he seems to relish. He begins with three movements from Petrushka for solo piano, drawn directly from the ballet by the composer ten years after the completion of the orchestral score. - [Francisco Mignone Piano Concerto Isaac Albeniz Concierto Fantástico for Piano and Orchestra](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/francisco-mignone-piano-concerto-isaac-albeniz-concierto-fantastico-for-piano-and-orchestra/) - 2019 ICMA Nominee! Continuing as ever on a journey of new and exciting discoveries, SOMM now brings to the catalogue of recorded music two justly admired Piano Concertos by South American and Spanish composers. The first is by Francisco Mignone, one of the finest Brazilian composers of the 20th century. His Piano Concerto from 1958 is brilliant, full of originality and technically challenging both for orchestra and pianist. It clearly merits wide circulation and Brazilian pianist Clélia Iruzun with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Jac van Steen, clearly relishes the challenge, both technical and interpretative. - [Once more with feeling... a selection of favourite piano encores](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/once-more-with-feeling/) - Once More With Feeling... A Selection Of Favourite Piano Encores This delightful disc of favourite – and occasionally unfamiliar – piano music played by pianist Philip Martin fulfils several functions: it is, first and foremost, a collection of ‘personal choice’ encore pieces, some of which are amongst the world’s favourite piano music, with others coming into the unjustly neglected genre, all of which have a special affection in Philip’s comprehensive repertoire. Secondly, we encounter the art of this much-admired Irish musician as a composer, whose own music possesses an individuality and immediacy of appeal that confirms his qualities as a musical communicator to his audience. And finally (although it is not ‘final’!), this exceptionally well-filled CD is released as Philip Martin prepares coincidentally to celebrate his 70th birthday and 50 years in the music profession with a wide-ranging selection that indicates the range and artistry of this truly international musician. - [Echoes of Land & Sea](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/echoes-of-land-sea/) - This cleverly planned new recital represents a uniquely valuable addition to the catalogue and focuses attention on English piano music which is less well known but no less delectable. Our programme ranges from some of the most famous names in music to those best-known in other areas of the art - and has been carefully chosen to present a uniquely fascinating conspectus of piano music by British composers of the last 100 years. - [The British Cello](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-british-cello/) - This is an arresting collection of music for cello and piano by British composers, ranging from such masterpieces as Britten’s seminal Cello Sonata (written for Rostropovich) to Joe Cutler’s brilliant new showpiece ‘2016 was a Bad Year for Music’, whilst taking in such superb recent works as James MacMillan’s Second Cello Sonata and the Sonata by Richard Rodney Bennett – written for Alexander Baillie and first performed by him – alongside shorter evocative pieces by Frank Bridge, Kenneth Leighton and EJ Moeran. The CD adds up to a terrific programme of familiar and lesser-known works by a galaxy of British composers, making it the first choice album of British Cello Music for music-lovers and students everywhere. - [Piano Music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-pyotr-ilyich-tchaikovsky/) - A fabulous recital of piano music by Tchaikovsky which includes the two rarely performed or recorded Piano Sonatas. - [Piano Music by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-mario-castelnuovo-tedesco/) - Mark Bebbington brings great panache to the passionate and sensuously evocative piano works of Castelnuovo-Tedesco: this is music enshrined in the Jewish tradition, yet enriched by the Mediterranean warmth of the composer's Italian ancestry. - [Serebrier Conducts Granados](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/serebrier-conducts-granados/) - 2018 Latin GRAMMY® Award Nominee - Best Classical Album This delightful disc of Spanish music arranged for strings and celebrating the 150th anniversary of Enrique Granados, was recorded by legendary conductor José Serebrier and Concerto Málaga String Orchestra founded in 1996. The orchestra is now one of the foremost ensembles in Spain, best known for its dedicated research into string repertoire ranging from the 17th century onwards. Their recording pays tribute to one of Spain’s most important composers, Enrique Granados and also includes works by Granados’s contemporaries and successors who played active roles in promoting Barcelona’s and Madrid's musical life in the middle of the 19th century. - [Edward Elgar and His Peers: The Art of the Military Band](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/edward-elgar-and-his-peers-the-art-of-the-military-band/) - A unique collection of music arranged or expressly composed by Elgar for Military Band.

In typical fashion, SOMM leads the way in remembering great composers and artists of the past and Kathleen Ferrier is one of the most divinely gifted among them. - [Violin Sonatas by Franck, Poulenc, Saint-Saëns](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/violin-sonatas-by-franck-poulenc-sain-saens/) - Stunning new collection of French violin sonatas by violinist Guillaume Combet and pianist Sandra Carlock.

SOMM is grateful to Professor Jeremy Dibble whose dedicated research filled in the gaps and organised the English Lyrics into an impressive œuvre, ripe for recording. - [Sergei Prokofiev Piano Sonatas 9 & 10, Sonatinas, Cello Sonata](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/sergei-prokofiev-piano-sonatas-9-10-sonatinas-cello-sonata/) - Piano Sonatas Nos 9 & 10 Sonatinas Nos 1 & 2 Cello Sonata in C major Peter Donohoe, Piano Raphael Wallfisch, Cello It is a well known fact that Shostakovich, Prokofiev and other leading Soviet composers suffered badly as a consequence of the notorious Zhdanov Decree, issued under Stalin's direct orders, in 1948. The Decree meant that Prokofiev was virtually forced to renounce his own work, with the result that he spent his last years mostly in artistic seclusion, virtually ignored by the state until a year or so before he died. - [Concertos for Piano & Strings](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/concertos-for-piano-strings/) - Gordon Jacob Piano Concerto No. 1 (Premiere Recording) Malcolm Williamson Concerto No. 2 Doreen Carwithen Piano Concerto Mark Bebbington, Piano Innovation Chamber Ensemble (Players From The CBSO) Conducted By Richard Jenkinson Mark Bebbington, whose dedicated exploration of music by British composers for SOMM has received widespread acclaim, is the soloist in this important new release featuring three works for piano and string orchestra, including the world première recording of Gordon Jacob’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano & Strings.

Scores and parts for this recording have been taken from the Elgar Complete Edition with permission from the distributors, Elgar Works. - [Twentieth-Century Sonatas for Cello and Piano](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/twentieth-century-sonatas-for-cello-and-piano/) - Alexander Baillie, Cello John Thwaites, Piano In recent years SOMM has established a strong reputation for its promotion of British Music counting, among unique recordings in its catalogue, several prestigious World Premieres which had been hidden in music library vaults unpublished and undiscovered until SOMM made them available on disc and promoted them worldwide through its distribution network. Included among these are the Vaughan Williams Fantasia, Bax Concertino, Frederick Austin Concertino, the William Mathias Piano Concerto No. 1, and the Piano Music of Reginald King. This impressive double disc is no exception. It boasts the well loved Cello Sonatas of Bridge, Delius, Ireland and Rubbra as well as two world premieres, the Cello Sonatas by Rebecca Clarke (1919) and Ivor Keys (1960). Clarke was Stanford's first female pupil at RCM and became a professional violist, having taken lessons with Lionel Tertis. Listening to her Viola (or Cello) Sonata, described as "sensuous, Bacchanalian and intoxicating and languid" by turns, reminds us that she felt closest to the music of both Debussy and Ravel. - [Works for piano and orchestra by Falla, Franck and Turina](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/works-for-piano-and-orchestra-by-falla-franck-and-turina/) - Turina: Rapsodia Sinfonica Franck: Symphonic Variations Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain Granados: The Lover and the Nightingale Debussy: La Soiree dans Grenade Bach-Busoni: Toccata & Fugue in D minor BWV565 Valerie Tryon, piano Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Woods British pianist Valerie Tryon and SOMM have embarked on a new, exciting venture.

Parry is considered to be a very fine composer indeed, and this collection includes some of the best of his songs. The Stanford songs are, perhaps, better known, and Somervell's setting of the Shropshire Lad cycle is more than just a minor masterpiece. A rare treat! - [A Century Of English Song, Volume 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/a-century-of-english-song-volume-1/) - Walton, Britten, Tippett, etc. Sarah Leonard, Malcolm Martineau.

More akin to much of Britten's choral music than any Czech composer. A challenge for any first time listener is to resist humming the syncopated 'crucify' theme for the rest of the day! - [The Long Day Closes - English Romantic Part-Songs](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-long-day-closes-english-romantic-part-songs/) - 21 selections of beautiful poetry set to beautiful music.

This recording represents the moment at which Glass - like other minimalists - felt the need to adopt more chromatic harmony within the framework of repetition ..." - [Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5 in D Major & Dona Nobis Pacem](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/vaughan-williams-symphony-no-5-in-d-major-dona-nobis-pacem/) - "It’s a mandatory purchase for all lovers of Vaughan Williams’s music and, frankly, a priceless document."

This third disc highlights the wide range of music performed by the Quartet. The ending of Maw's 3rd. Quartet, with its quiet, mysterious repose at the conclusion of the passacaglia movement shares an obvious affinity with the Third Quartet by Britten, a composer Maw admires greatly. - [Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 11-13](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/mozart-piano-concertos-nos-11-13/) - In our delightful journey with Mark Bebbington into new repertoire of British Music, we now have another "first" - mainstream repertoire in such joyful and imaginative performances.

Joubert is no stranger to music lovers. He is a prolific composer whose carol Torches, a miniature gem, has become a favourite throughout the Christian world. The first of our two discs is devoted to Joubert's chamber music with a superb performance of his 2nd String Quartet by the Brodsky Quartet. The second disc features the Lyric Fantasy played by Mark Bebbington and the three Piano Sonatas played by John McCabe. - [Manuel Falla: La vida breve](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/manuel-falla-la-vida-breve/) - This is the first-ever recording of La Vida Breve and it is valuable for the superb singing of Victoria de los Angeles at the beginning of her illustrious career. Recorded in Barcelona in 1954 with a cast of Spanish singers who are outstanding. The conductor, Ernesto Halffter, was a pupil of Falla and is considered a unique authority on the composer’s music. - [Antonin Tučapský: Stabat Mater - Mary Magdalene](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/antonin-tucapsky-stabat-mater-mary-magdalene/) - Tucapsky’s Stabat Mater has long been considered his supreme masterpiece and SOMM is very proud to have this work in its catalogue (also see SOMMCD 201) together with the composer’s other seminal work, the Cantata Mary Magdalene. Tucapsky’s music is emotional and traumatic without any obvious direct influences but he acknowledges Szymanowski, Dvorak and Hanus (particularly in the Mary Magdalene). - [Severn & Somme](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/severn-somme/) - This new release affords the listener a brief but fascinating glimpse into the life and work of Ivor Gurney, his friends and fellow composers as well as the poets whose work inspired him to set to music songs of great sensitivity and originality.

This first CD includes the Sonata (1921-24) in its first recording for 15 years – a work which is pivotal, both in British music and in Bridge’s own stylistic evolution. - [Handel at Home](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/handel-at-home/) - "Handel at Home" is SOMM's second new release in its Handel series with the London Handel Players (see SOMMCD 044). What lies behind this delicious confection of Handel Arias adapted for flute, strings and harpsichord, is Flautist Rachel Brown's idea of putting together and re-arranging some highlights from Handel's opera or oratorio performances. - [Mendelssohn Organ Works Volume 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/mendelssohn-organ-works-volume-4/) - This is a very special edition in five volumes of researched, corrected and edited material by Professor Christian Martin Schmidt.

This sextet of works reveals the stylistic trends which were influencing their composer at this time: Italianate lyricism and Salzburger strength and effect. Coull display throughout a genuine feel for the quartet medium, each instrument a partner on equal terms with its colleagues. - [Rachmaninov: Piano Sonata No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 28 & Morceaux de Salon, Op. 10](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/rachmaninov-piano-sonata-no-1-in-d-minor-op-28-morceaux-de-salon-op-10/) - The Sonata showcases Cousin's huge talent in no uncertain way - he plays it with great élan and sensitivity.

Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata in G minor gives the limited cello/piano repertoire one of its most popular and imposing works. Played by Zhislin in a beguiling transcription for viola by Vadim Borisovsky. - [Handel, Seven Trio Sonatas Opus 5](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/handel-seven-trio-sonatas-opus-5/) - Handel's wonderful Op.5 trio Sonatas are prime examples of the composer's inexhaustible invention. The Handel Players are no strangers to SOMM - they feature on SOMMCD 226 Handel's Occasional Songs and the premier recording SOMMCD 227/8 Handel: 3-Act Silla. - [Astor Piazzolla: Tangos](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/astor-piazzolla-tangos/) - All the material on this disc, none of it originally for cello, has been arranged specially for Vassallo to perform and record by the admired cellist and composer José Bragato. None of the tracks here exemplifies the web of relationships, in a world where people live and work for each other, more than the well-known Adios Nonino , composed by Piazzolla on the death of his father. - [Piano Music by Edward MacDowell](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-edward-macdowell/) - MacDowell was the first American composer to achieve international prominence. This CD contains recordings from the Sonata Eroica,Etude de Concert,The Fireside Tales, and others. Sandra Carlock is a distinguished American pianist - this CD is highly recommended. - [Music from France & Spain](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/music-from-france-spain/) - Walton & Grimwood have performed together since their student days. Their recording of SOMMCD 029 was praised for their technical finesse and unusual dexterity and clarity - and so with this CD. - [Scriabin: Piano Works](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/scriabin-piano-works/) - Grimwood brings freshness and colour to the 24 Preludes Op.11, capturing their many different moods. He is also capable of the most exquisite delicacy and shading of dynamics in the smaller works such as Désir No.1 Op.57 and Poème No.1 Op.32. - [Mozart String Quartets Volume I](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/mozart-string-quartets-volume-i/) - The Coull Quartet is one of Britain's most respected and longest established ensembles, having celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2004. - [Organ Music by The Wesleys & Their Contemporaries](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/organ-music-by-the-wesleys-their-contemporaries/) - Following soon after Jennifer Bate's critically acclaimed first recording on SOMM of Samuel Wesley Organ Music (SOMMCD 036 - see earlier in catalogue), here is a highly intriguing and enjoyable companion. Both CDs were recorded from First Editions or Manuscripts. Recorded on the organs of St. James's Church, Bermondsey and The Brangwyn Hall, Swansea. - [Piano Music by Ivor Gurney and Howard Ferguson](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-ivor-gurney-and-howard-ferguson/) - Neither Gurney's nor Ferguson's piano works are currently represented in the gramophone catalogue, apart from a 1942 recording of the Ferguson Piano Sonata by Myra Hess. We are particularly pleased therefore, to have this new release in the SOMM catalogue with Mark Bebbington, whose debut disc featuring the major piano works of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco on "New Horizons" SOMMCD 032 (see earlier in catalogue) has had unprecedented success. - [Strauss: Don Juan - Brahms: Symphony No. 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/strauss-don-juan-brahms-symphony-no-2/) - Horenstein conducts the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in R.Strauss's 'Don Juan' and Brahms' Symphony No.2. Horenstein is considered to be one of the finest conductors of the 20th Century. This first release, recorded live at the Montreux Festival in 1966, is intended as introductory taster to what we hope will be an extended series of previously unissued, live and studio recordings. - [Organ Music by Samuel Wesley](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/organ-music-by-samuel-wesley/) - Jennifer Bate, Organ. Premier Recordings taken from Manuscripts and First Editions. Jennifer Bate is internationally known for her Messiaen recordings. She was the composer's chosen interpreter and the first to record his complete Organ Works. Recorded on the historic Bishop Organ of St. James's Church, Bermondsey. - [Piano Music by Jean-Michel Damase](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-jean-michel-damase/) - Damas'es compositional style is akin to Debussy's, Ravel's, Poulenc's and Prokofiev's but it becomes obvious, even from his earlier work for piano (Thème et Variations – 1956) that he is perfectly able to weld them into a convincing vehicle couched in his own brand of persuasive language. Warmly tonal, this deftly-delineated music strikes immediately with its characteristically "French" timbres. - [Poulenc: Piano Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/poulenc-piano-music/) - Charles Owen, Piano. This is Charles Owen's second disc in the "New Horizons" series (see SOMMCD 028). After Debussy and Ravel, and before Messiaen, Poulenc's is the most significant body of French solo piano music of the twentieth-century. He combined the Dadaesque qualities of Erik Satie with the deeper, more serious expression of his composition teacher, Charles Koechlin, alongside his own formidable performing mastery as a pianist. Charles Owen's own words -- "One of the great joys in playing this repertoire is the need to recapture the joie de vivre inherent in the music's conception." - [El Ultimo Tango Plays Astor Piazzolla](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/el-ultimo-tango-plays-astor-piazzolla/) - The tracks on this inaugural CD cover the spectrum of Buenos Aires life, from political protest to the passing of the seasons. Most famous of all remains the haunting, poignant Adios Nonino. - [British Treasures - Violin Sonatas](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/british-treasures-violin-sonatas/) - The Goossens recorded here is powerful and very striking in its chromatic language and strongly emotional content. Hurlstone's Sonata is noteworthy for its sustained lyricism and wit and is beautifully wrought. Turnbull's Sonata is full of extended melodic lines and broad climaxes underpinned by a rich harmonic language and sonority redolent of Debussy and Ravel, both composers he greatly admired. - [Shostakovich: Viola Sonatas - Viola Suite](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/shostakovich-viola-sonatas-viola-suite/) - Lars Anders Tomter, Viola; Håvard Gimse, Piano. Coupled with a world premiere recording of the Suite of four movements from "The Gadfly" and the Viola Sonata Op.147. Beautifully laid out for the viola and piano - Lars Anders Tomter is one of today's most oustanding violists("The Giant of the Nordic Viola" – The Strad). Håvard Gimse has established himsef as one of the leading Scandinavian international pianists. - [Prokofiev, Kabalevsky, & Myakovsky: Cello Sonatas](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/prokofiev-kabalevsky-myakovsky-cello-sonatas/) - All three works in this collection of sonatas were inspired by the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. There is a remarkable affinity and musical rapport between the cellist and pianist - they bring to this recording fresh ideas and the brilliance of their talent. - [Janáček: Piano Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/janacek-piano-music/) - The disc includes Janácek's most substantial work for piano - On an overgrown path, two sets of miniatures. Here as elsewhere, Janácek captures the imagination with these astonishingly vivid and touching vignettes recalling his childhood in Moravia. "Charles Owen is out of the best school of British pianism - bright, sensitive, unaffected and with playing informed by brainwork". The Glasgow Herald - [Ernest Arsermet Conducts Ballet Music (Recorded 1949-1950)](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/ernest-arsermet-conducts-ballet-music-recorded-1949-1950/) - Ansermet conducts: Rossini - Respighi La Boutique Fantasque (London Symphony Orchestra) and Stravinsky Petrushka (Suisse Romande Orchestra). Ansermet had the remarkable ability to balance an orchestra in the studio without help from the engineers and the quality of sound that Ansermet himself created lends such individuality to these works. - [Chopin & Rachmaninov: Cello Sonatas](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/chopin-rachmaninov-cello-sonatas/) - Jamie Walton is one of the rising soloists of the new generation. He combines a warmth of tone with a technical command which reaches dazzling proportions. Charles Owen is one of the young leading British pianists of our time. - [Ravel: Music for Two Pianos](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/ravel-music-for-two-pianos/) - The duo have won First Prizes and awards including the RTZ-CRA Ensemble Prize in the Royal Overseas League Competition, London. "Two-piano playing of sparkling vivacity and undoubted sensitivity from this young prizewinning duo" (Gramophone). - [Schumann: Piano Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/schumann-piano-music-2/) - Lazaridis has been described as "an exhilarating soloist", "a genius at work" and an artist of outstanding, world-class distinction. This recording is a sparkling demonstration of those gifts - not to be missed! - [Constant Lambert - The Last Recordings](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/constant-lambert-the-last-recordings/) - An historic re-issue. Constant Lambert(1905-1951) had a charismatic personality and a brilliant mind which could shape and inspire exceptional orchestral performances. This CD features quite extraordinary recordings of the composers Sir William Walton, Franz von Suppé, Emile Waldteufel and Emmanuel Chabrier. - [Fernando Sor Studies for Guitar](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/fernando-sor-studies-for-guitar/) - Eros Roselli is a young Italian guitarist who has made a name for himself by winning several prestigious competitions. - [The Songs & Part-Songs of Percy Turnbull](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-songs-part-songs-of-percy-turnbull/) - Those of you who have had the opportunity of listening to SOMMCD 015 (The Piano Music of Percy Turnbull with Peter Jacobs, released in 2000) will already be familiar with the richness and variety of styles present in Turnbull's various compositions. A delightful CD showing classical simplicity. - [John Jeffreys: Organ Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/john-jeffreys-organ-music/) - Those of you who have had the opportunity of listening to "Of Fire And Dew" (SOMMCD 218, main catalogue) will readily agree that Jeffrey's music has great lyricism, individuality and strength. His organ music displays the same passionate warmth and conviction and just as important, it has the advantage of remaining accessible to all. - [20th Century Miniatures Vol.2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/20th-century-miniatures-vol-2/) - SOMMCD 018 - Detlef Hahn (violin) and Simon Parkin (piano). Music by Ravel, Ysaÿe, Stravinsky, Szymanowski, Poulenc. As in Vol.1 (SOMMCD 013), the music also on this volume reflects artistic changes which developed as a reaction to 19th-century romanticism, with Paris as the artistic centre of the new movement.The combination of violin and piano brings great clarity and clean, refreshing textures. - [William Alwyn: String Quartets Nos. 10-13](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/william-alwyn-string-quartets-nos-10-13/) - As ever, SOMM and its artists are busy discovering new treasures in a wide range of repertoire and this release featuring first recordings of four of William Alwyn's early String Quartets with the celebrated Tippett Quartet, will come as a delightful surprise. Alwyn became Professor of Composition at London's Royal Academy of Music in 1926 at the age of 21, a position that he was to retain for almost 30 years. His large corpus of work comes close to 300 works which include music in all genres. His major orchestral works include five symphonies, and concertos for flute, oboe, violin, harp and piano and no less than 200 film scores. - [Great American Sonatas](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/great-american-sonatas/) - An exciting new release of American Piano Sonatas from SOMM to remind us of 20th-century America's achievements in music as in so much else. SOMM's new collaboration with pianist Nathan Williamson who has been steeped in American music since his years as a student of piano and composition at Yale has produced an exhilarating disc brimming with dynamism and energy. The disc includes sonatas by four very different American composers writing under very different circumstances: Leonard Bernstein, a charismatic, ambitious all-round musician in his student years; Aaron Copland, an established master at the height of his powers; Lou Harrison, an inveterate experimentalist setting himself a new problem; and Charles Ives, a dogged individualist insisting on his own way of doing things. In each case, the composer chose not to fit his music into conventional forms, but to rethink the whole idea of the sonata. America is after all the land of the clean sheet, the fresh start – of making things fresh, exciting and new. Nathan, who leads a diverse and varied career as pianist, composer and artistic director studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Joan Havill and Malcolm Singer, at Oxford University with Robert Saxton, and at Yale with Martin Bresnick and Joan Panetti and American composer Ezra Laderman Dean of the Yale School of Music and President of American Academy of Arts and Letters, who died last year at the age of 90. Nathan has dedicated this recording to Laderman as a tribute to a great teacher whose far-reaching influence has inspired him to study the work of American composers in great depth. - [Haydn: Sonatas & Variations](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/haydn-sonatas-variations/) - A truly invigorating new release from SOMM this month, brings us Leon McCawley in a recording of four Haydn Piano Sonatas together with the set of Variations in F minor (Sonata - Un piccolo divertimento). Siva Oke first heard Leon play Haydn during a recital for the Chopin Society and was immediately struck by the many wonderful qualities he brought to his playing which captured classical purity and pristine articulation coupled with warmth, plasticity and wit. “a distinguished issue” (Rachmaninov Preludes - Gramophone May 2015) “Leon McCawley is a real poet of the keyboard in these performances that are alive to Rachmaninov's wonderful melodic invention.” (The Classical Reviewer, March 2015) - [Charles Villiers Stanford: String Quartets Nos. 5 & 8](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/charles-villiers-stanford-string-quartets-nos-5-8/) - The start of a significant new series of String Quartets which, quite unbelievably, have never been recorded before (apart from Nos 1 and 2), and these are the Eight Quartets by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. This first disc, recorded for SOMM by the Dante Quartet, one of Britain's finest ensembles, contains Quartets Nos 5 and 8 and on the evidence of this first disc, they deserve to gain their rightful place among the great quartets of the early 20th century. They are a major body of work written between 1891 and 1921 and have rarely been performed, even though they are an eloquent witness of Stanford's undoubted ability as a composer of chamber music. - [Anton Bruckner: Symphony No.8 in C Minor](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/anton-bruckner-symphony-no-8-in-c-minor/) - Symphony No.8 in C Minor SOMMCD 016-2 - The superb ex-libris stereo recording originally issued in 1973 and recorded at the Zürich Tonhalle Studios in 1971 is the first recording -- now presented in a 2-CD slimline set -- in SOMM's venture into the historic field, aiming to celebrate the work of lgendary performers of the past. - [Brahms: Cello Sonatas & 4 Serious Songs, Op. 121](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/brahms-cello-sonatas-4-serious-songs-op-121/) - SOMMCD 0158 - Brahms: Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38; Sonata No. 2 in F, Op. 99; Four Serious Songs, Op. 121.

This new release brings an exciting world premiere recording to the SOMM catalogue - the Piano Quintet Op. 92 by David Matthews coupled with an ideal companion piece, the Piano Quintet by Dmitri Shostakovich. David Matthews wrote his Piano Quintet in 2004 as an engagement present for his wife Jenifer, so in his view, its overall happy mood is appropriate. - [Federico Mompou. Selected Works for piano solo Vol. 2](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/federico-mompou-selected-works-for-piano-solo-vol-2/) - Clélia Iruzun, piano Cançons i Danses VII–XIV Scènes d'enfants Musica Callada Trois Variations A follow-up to the successful release of the first volume of piano music by Federico Mompou (SOMMCD 0121) with Clélia Iruzun, Volume II continues with thirty more tracks of hauntingly beautiful and memorable music by this unique Spanish composer and pianist who died in 1987 aged 94. A recluse who rarely appeared in public, Mompou wrote music which since its first appearance, over 100 years ago, has been widely appreciated for its wonderful fusion of colour, mood and intimate characterisation. The music in this collection is wide-ranging and contains many examples of Mompou's remarkable individuality as a composer. - [Emma Johnson & Friends](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/emma-johnson-friends/) - Emma Johnson, clarinet; Carducci Quartet; Christopher West, double bass; Philip Gibbon, bassoon; Michael Thompson, horn Schubert Octet in F, D 803 Bernhard Crusell, Concert Trio for Clarinet, Bassoon & Horn Recorded live during a concert at Turner Sims, Southampton Since winning, at the age of seventeen, the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition and the Young Artists Auditions in New York, clarinettist Emma Johnson has been one of the UK's biggest selling classical artists. Since her first recording of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto when she was 18, she has sold almost half a million discs worldwide. She enjoys giving concerts with her hand-picked group of musicians under the title Emma Johnson & Friends. On this, her first disc in a new collaboration with SOMM, her handpicked friends are the Carducci Quartet, double bass player Chris West, horn player Michael Thompson and bassoonist Philip Gibbon. Schubert's Octet and Crusell's Concert Trio were recorded by SOMM in October 2014 before an enthusiastic audience during a concert at Turner Sims, Southampton. - [John McCabe plays Grieg](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/john-mccabe-plays-grieg/) - Grieg: Slåtter (Norwegian Peasant Dances), Op 72; Stimmungen (Moods), Op 73 John McCabe (piano) Somm SOMMCD 0154 ***** John McCabe was a lifelong admirer of Grieg and particularly smitten with his deeply personal reworkings of Norwegian hardanger-fiddle tunes that were published in 1902 under the title of Slåtter. A pungently characterful, often harmonically bracing 39-minute sequence they comprise, too, and they're preceded here by Stimmungen (Moods), a set of seven pieces in the mould of the Lyric Pieces that likewise contain much to ignite the imagination (try the thrillingly exuberant outer portions of No 3, 'Night Ride'). McCabe's perceptive readings of this uncommonly rewarding repertoire are irresistible in their combination of scrupulous refinement, recreative spark and infectious commitment – what a fine pianist he was! Apparently, the 1978 master-tapes were on their last legs, so plaudits to Martin Nichols and Paul Arden-Taylor for such a superb restoration, the enticing analogue glow of Robert Auger's admirable original production for RCA left mercifully intact. Somm's first-class, helpfully detailed presentation is a further bonus. This is a hugely enjoyable reissue, and I recommend it without reservation. –Andrew Achenbach (Classical Ear, 11 January 2016) - [Glazunov, Sibelius & Dvořák: Violin Works](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/glazunov-sibelius-dvorak-violin-works/) - Glazunov Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 82 Sibelius Six Humoresques for Violin & Orchestra Dvorak Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 53 Efi Christodoulou, violin Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra John Carewe, conductor "Both violinist and pianist give the Humoresques their all, with predictably (by now) outstanding results. This disc, to put it mildly, is a gem." Fanfare USA (Elgar, Debussy Violin sonatas & Sibelius Humoresques. Efi Christodoulou & Margaret Fingerhut) This new SOMM release features two perennial favourites, the Glazunov and Dvorak Violin Concertos. They are often recorded together, deriving their inspiration from Russian Bohemia's musical heritage whilst still remaining close to Brahmsian Viennese traditions. Adding to these Sibelius's Six Humoresques for Violin & Orchestra makes this a hugely enjoyable combination. - [Massenet: Les amoureuses sont des folles](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/massenet-les-amoureuses-sont-des-folles/) - Sally Silver, Soprano, Richard Bonynge, Piano This is the second disc of songs with Sally Silver and Richard Bonynge appearing on SOMM and following the release, in 2013, of Songs by William Wallace (SOMMCD 0131).

The main characteristic of Turnbull's music is that it is unostentatious, yet has an individual sense of lyricism, textual balance and clarity, the harmonic language showing an interesting mix of French and British composers of the early 20th century. - [Piano Music by Billy Mayerl Vol. II](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-billy-mayerl-vol-ii/) - Philip Martin, piano The success of Volume One of The Piano Music of Billy Mayerl with Philip Martin has shown that in addition to older listeners, there is now a new generation eager to discover Mayerl's brilliantly written piano music. "This is the first volume in a series in which the sequels cannot arrive too soon. The principal joy resides in Billy Mayerl's music - British piano pieces that are syncopated and melodious...

Hats off to violinist Lucy Gould, cellist Alice Neary and pianist Benjamin Frith, but the honour was threefold. This was compelling playing, with every note voiced to carry its true functional and emotional weight, as the live recording will surely confirm." ***** Rian Evans, The Guardian, May 2012 The Gould Piano Trio release the fourth and final volume of their monumental recordings of the complete Beethoven Piano Trios. - [Rachmaninoff: Préludes, Opp. 23 & 32](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/rachmaninoff-preludes-opp-23-32/) - Rachmaninov: The Complete Preludes Prelude Op. 3 No. 2 in C sharp minor Preludes Op. 23 Preludes Op. 32 Leon McCawley, piano The Ten Preludes Op. 23, the Op. 3 Prelude and the Thirteen Preludes Op. 32 represent all twenty -four major and minor keys and are considered to be among Rachmaninov's best works for solo piano. The success of his first Prelude proved to be double-edged. It became so popular that it travelled round the world to the point where in the 1920s in New York he heard the Paul Whiteman Band play a jazz version and as a touring virtuoso he would not be allowed to leave without playing it as an encore. His Ten preludes Op. 23 were composed in a burst of creativity in the year that the he married his beloved cousin Natalia. In 1910, at the very height of his powers, Rachmaninov completed his set of 24 Preludes with a final group of 13 comprising his Opus 32. - [Sonatas by Nicolai Medtner](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/sonatas-by-nicolai-medtner/) - Sonatas by Nicolai Medtner Sonata Reminiscenza Op. 38 No. 1 in A minor Sonata Romantica Op. 53 No. 1 in B flat minor Sonata Minacciosa Op. 53 No. 2 in F minor Alessandro Taverna, piano An exciting new addition to our catalogue in the New Horizons Series in which SOMM supports young musicians of great talent by providing them with the opportunity of promoting their careers worldwide in top quality recordings. - [Wassenaer: Six Concerti Armonici](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/wassenaer-six-concerti-armonici/) - Count Unico Wilhelm Van Wassenaer (1692-1766) Six Concerti Armonici (formerly attributed to Pergolesi) Innovation Chamber Ensemble (Players From The Cbso) Richard Jenkinson, Artistic Director The set of Six Concerti Armonici for strings and basso continuo published without ascription in The Hague in 1740 is such good music that it has seldom been out of circulation since, though its authorship has been a mystery until comparatively recently. - [Choral Music by George Dyson](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/choral-music-by-george-dyson/) - Dyson's music is akin to Parry's in vocal colour and texture with exciting, sonorous climaxes and a rich orchestral harmony indebted as much to Richard Strauss (Dyson's idol), as to Delius. Dyson brings his choral work to life in music of rare charm and freshness. - [Schönberg: Verklärte Nacht; Brahms: Seranade](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/schonberg-verklarte-nacht-brahms-seranade/) - Schönberg: Verklärte Nacht Op. 4* (Sextet Version) Caroline Chin* violin 1; Diane Pascal viiolin 2; David Yang* viola 1; Tom Hankey viola 2; Kenneth Woods* cello 1; Matthew Sharp cello 2 *Members of Ensemble Epomeo Brahms: Seranade Op. 11 (arr.

Four new monarchs came to the throne whose praises were played and sung throughout the land, indeed throughout the world. The eleven marches recorded here display an excitement and grandeur appropriate to an important state and religious occasion. They also highlight some of the finest ceremonial music composed in the 20th century, while reflecting the changing styles in music over the years. Some of these marches have never been recorded by a concert band before, despite transcriptions being made soon after their composition and this SOMM CD shows how, in times past, the public would have first heard these pieces. Many composers were either commissioned or inspired to commemorate these events, ranging from the ever-popular Elgar, Walton, German and Saint-Saëns to the less familiar Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the forgotten Percy Godfrey through to the more contemporary Bax and Bliss. John Philip Sousa, the celebrated American composer and conductor also caught the spirit of the moment with one of his legendary marches. - [Earth's Call](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/earths-call/) - April Fredrick, soprano Mark Bebbington, piano The Songs of John Ireland form an important part of his output and are highly regarded by professional singers who appreciate the lyrical contours of his melodies, the sensitivity of his word settings and the wide variety of moods they encompass. - [The complete Beethoven Trios – Volume 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/the-complete-beethoven-trios-volume-3/) - Trio Op. 11 Trio Op. 121a ‘Kakadu Variations’ Trio Op. 38 Gould Piano Trio Robert Plane Clarinet This is the third of four fabulous concerts given by the Gould Piano Trio at St. George’s, Brandon Hill, Bristol and captured live on disc by SOMM.

The Gould Piano Trio are joined here by the popular clarinettist Robert Plane (former principal clarinettist of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the CBSO) who features in two of the three works on the CD. - [Rachmaninov: Etudes-tableaux, Op. 33/39](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/rachmaninov-etudes-tableaux-op-3339/) - Martin Cousin, piano With the award of a Gold Medal at the Royal Overseas League Music Competition and First Prize at the 2005 Ettore Pozzoli International Piano Compeition, Scottish pianist Martin Cousin joins the ranks of such illustrious predecessors a Maurizio Pollini, Geoffrey Parsons, Jacqueline Du Pré and John Lill. Recitals, festival appearances and concerto engagements have taken him all over the world. In this, his third "Russian" disc for SOMM, he continues with Rachmaninov's complete Études-Tableaux, ideally suited to both his fearless technique and discerning musicianship. - [Schumann: Piano Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/schumann-piano-music/) - Faschingsschwank aus Wien Kinderszenen Op. 15 Études Symphoniques, Op. 13 Leon McCawley, piano The wonderful Leon McCawley continues his exploration of 19th-century repertoire for SOMM with the piano music of Robert Schumann. - [William Alwyn: Piano Music](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/william-alwyn-piano-music/) - Mark Bebbington, piano Following acclaimed cycles of Frank Bridge and John Ireland, Mark Bebbington's new release (December) for SOMM (his thirty- first CD for the label) focuses on the piano music of William Alwyn and his second wife, Doreen Carwithen. Although chiefly remembered today as a large-scale symphonic and film composer - Alwyn's symphonies were championed by Barbirolli, Sargent and Sir Thomas Beecham - his exceptional body of piano works spanned his creative life and reveals a composer entirely attuned to the inventive possibilities of twentieth-century piano writing. - [Schubert: Piano Sonatas Nos. 13 and 21 - Wanderer Fantasy](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/schubert-piano-sonatas-nos-13-and-21-wanderer-fantasy/) - Sonata in A Major D664 The "Wanderer" Fantasy D760, Sonata in B flat major D960 George Emmanuel Lazaridis, piano “Special enough to be beyond comparison”, - BBC Music Magazine, Disc of the Month, SOMMCD 2004 Schumann Carnaval. Fantasiestucke and Papillon Op. 2 “Such drama, power and concentration, that they can hold their own even if you stop to consider celebrated recordings of Horowitz, Argerich, Brendel and Zimmerman.” Gramophone Magazine, Bryce Morrison “His recording of Papillon Op. 2 ranks among the top 5 best performances including Richter’s and Arrau’s” - International Piano - [Songs by William Vincent Wallace](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/songs-by-william-vincent-wallace/) - Sally Silver, Soprano; Richard Bonynge, piano SOMM’s exploration of the byways of British Music continues with another wonderful discovery – Songs by William Vincent Wallace. Conductor Richard Bonynge who partners Sally Silver in Wallace’s charming drawing room ballads should take the credit for their discovery. He writes: “My love affair with William Wallace began many years ago. In pre-television days when my parents, my aunts and I used to make music frequently in the evenings and several songs of Wallace were to be found among the stacks of old music. Perhaps because of my Irish heritage I was drawn to the Irish composers and I eventually recorded Wallace’s beautiful opera Lurline and that led me to investigate the songs. Wallace was a superb melodist and I found it a shame that so much of his music was forgotten. I thank David Grant in Ireland and Rosemary Tuck, both great Wallace scholars, for helping me with further researches.” - [Gypsy Ballad](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/gypsy-ballad/) - Music from Armenia, Macedonia, Spain, the Balkans and Persia Eleftheria Kotzia, Guitar Armenia, Macedonia, Spain, the Balkans and Persia all appear on this disc in a beguiling melée of diverse rhythms and melodies. The disc opens with Suite Castellana, written by a non-guitarist, the Spaniard Moreno Torroba. It consists of Fandanguillo, a lively danced based on folksong followed by Arada, an evocation of the Spanish countryside and finally Danza, which was premiered by Torroba's friend André Segovia in Madrid, in 1922. Czech composer Sylvie Bodorova's music has been performed world-wide with commissions from many countries. Her Gypsy Ballad, an extended work of considerable virtuosity, was inspired by the gypsies of Prague. Also included are the famous tangos La Cumparsita and El Choclo from Argentina and Uruguay -- the only two arrangements, alongside original salon music from Brazil, the infectious rhythms of the Afro-influenced music of the Caribbean and the purity of Venezuelan song. - [20th Century Miniatures](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/20th-century-miniatures/) - Music by Ibert, Milhaud, Tomasi, Poulenc, Villa-Lobos.

They are chosen from the cream of interpreters of the new generation on their way to international recognition and they nearly always have something fresh, new and exciting to offer us in an overcrowded CD market. - [Song of Paradise](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/song-of-paradise/) - Mark Bebbington, piano Another 'first' on SOMM and a very special one at that, is the recording of piano music by the neglected lyricist and 'king' of light music, Reginald King. This will be the first commercial recording of these works. Reginald King's name first came onto Mark Bebbington's horizons in August 2011 when he was visiting Siva Oke from SOMM recordings to discuss a whole range of possible future repertoire ideas and session dates. Siva Oke, Director of SOMM, had been in conversation with King's publisher at Bardic Edition who had expressed enthusiasm for SOMM to record some of the piano miniatures by Reginald King. Mark Bebbington was instantly won over by the easy-going charm, beautiful craftsmanship and melodic freshness of these 'light' piano pieces. Not for a moment did he feel that tackling this repertoire would he be at odds with the grittier world of other areas of British music he had championed on SOMM. - [Piano Music by Billy Mayerl Vol. I](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-billy-mayerl-vol-i/) - Philip Martin, piano It was on a Sunday afternoon, during a jazz programme on Radio Three, that Siva Oke at SOMM first heard pianist Philip Martin playing Ragtime. His playing captured exactly the idiom: precise and articulate yet graceful and buoyant, it also possessed infinite rhythmic élan and style. In a word, it was captivating! A first meeting produced several exciting thoughts and it transpired that Billy Mayerl's piano music was an idea that both Philip and SOMM were eager to explore. This first volume consists of some of Mayerl's most popular piano pieces and it will be followed by others in the same series. Most people know Billy Mayerl through his most famous composition, "Marigold" (1927), a favourite among many a pianist of the older generation, both amateur and professional, but what is not generally known is that he wrote over 300 piano pieces as well as works for piano and orchestra, and he was no doubt an acknowledged master of light music. - [British Opera Overtures](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/british-opera-overtures/) - Victorian Opera Orchestra / Richard Bonynge This interesting new release comes to us from Victorian Opera Northwest whose director, Raymond Walker together with conductor Richard Bonynge have carried out extensive research into the development of the British Opera movement which began in the 1830s and stretched to the 1890s. Victorian Opera Northwest promotes the excellent forgotten music of 19th century operas by talented British and Irish composers. Their music used to be extremely popular in its time, yet it has been unjustly neglected since. With the aid of well known musicians, Victorian Opera research contemporary sources, typeset fresh orchestral parts taken from original manuscripts and print scores containing rare repertoire. Their latest efforts have resulted in a superbly enjoyable disc of 19th Century Opera Overtures, consisting mostly of premiere recordings. - [Chamber Music by Jacques Ibert](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/chamber-music-by-jacques-ibert/) - Bridge String Quartet Michael Dussek piano Bryn Lewis harp Richard Alsop double bass Jacques Ibert, who died 50 years ago last year, was the initial impetus behind this delicious disc and it served as a springboard for some fruitful research by the Bridge Quartet and SOMM who were richly rewarded. - [Federico Mompou. Selected Works for piano solo Vol. 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/federico-mompou-selected-works-for-piano-solo-vol-1/) - Clélia Iruzun, piano Brazilian pianist Clélia Iruzun has delighted critics over the years with her performances and recordings of music by Villa Lobos, Granados, Ginastera, Mignone and Marlo Nobres among others.

Takayoshi Wanami. Eugène Ysaÿe was the leader of the tonalist movement in violin playing in Western Europe at the turn of the twentieth century. Each of the works on this CD is profoundly different from the other, and they contain the gamut of virtuoso violin techniques. Wanami gets under the skin of Ysaÿe's six subjects like no one heard before. Wanami is a sensation – this disc has received top recommendation from American Record Guide. - [Copland: Quiet City Suite - Barber: Summer of 1915 - Gershwin: Summertime](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/copland-quiet-city-suite-barber-summer-of-1915-gershwin-summertime/) - Live recording Orchestra of the Swan / David Curtis April Fredrick, Soprano This new CD showcases the spectacular voice of American Soprano April Fredrick whose star is now firmly in the ascendant. SOMM first heard her in concert singing the songs of Ivor Gurney which she had studied closely as part of her MMus in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music. SOMM unhesitatingly recommended April to David Curtis, conductor of the Orchestra of the Swan who having heard her, enthusiastically engaged her for several of his concerts. This recording, which took place during a concert at the Civic Hall in Stratford in May last year, is her debut with the Orchestra of the Swan conducted by David Curtis. - [McCawley: 25 Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel - 16 Waltzes - 6 Piano Pieces](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/mccawley-25-variations-and-fugue-on-a-theme-by-handel-16-waltzes-6-piano-pieces/) - Brahms Piano music Variations & Fugue on a Theme of Handel, op. 24 Waltzes, op. 39 Klavierstücke, op. 118 Leon McCawley, piano With this new release (release date: 16 July 2012) SOMM is very pleased to add a third recording to its catalogue of recordings with pianist Leon McCawley. Having spent a considerable part of his concert career playing Brahms’s piano music to audiences -- and the Handel Variations in particular – Leon feels he has really made it his very own. His individual thoughts on the music bear the hallmark of the mature artist who has the means and talent to express them in this recording. - [Piano Music by John Ireland Volume 4](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/piano-music-by-john-ireland-volume-4/) - In this fourth and final survey of John Ireland's piano music, Mark Bebbington has selected works spanning the spectrum of Ireland's creativity - from his earliest extant pieces 'Daydream' and 'Meridian', written in 1895 when only sixteen, through to his last piano piece 'Columbine' from 1951. - [Beethoven: Complete Piano Trios Vol 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/beethoven-complete-piano-trios-vol-1/) - Beethoven Complete Piano Trios Vol 1.

Three volumes have already been recorded before a live audience during the Gould Trio’s concerts at St. George’s, Bristol in October and December 2011 and February 2012. The Trio’s first concert, on October 5th last year, which was recorded by SOMM as the first volume of four, was a wonderful introduction to this stunning series and the BBC Music Magazine’s website review by Reviews Editor Rebecca Franks is typical of the enthusiasm shown by the audience on that first night. - [John Joubert String Quartets 1, 2 & 3](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/john-joubert-string-quartets-1-2-3/) - John Joubert (b. 1927) String Quartets 1, 2 & 3 Brodsky String Quartet Daniel Rowland, Ian Belton Violins Paul Cassidy Viola Jacqueline Thomas Cello Another important SOMM release, well timed to celebrate composer John Joubert’s 85th birthday on 20th March. - [Delius: Orchestral Music Music for 2 Pianos, Vol. 1](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/delius-orchestral-music-music-for-2-pianos-vol-1/) - Frederick Delius Simon Callaghan & Hiroaki Takenouchi, pianos.

The second CD in this series which, apart from one or two very early pieces has the complete Piano Music by Samuel Barber, is a brand new recording for SOMM and is as it happens, Leon McCawley’s second recording of the composer’s piano music to which, he has, incidentally, added more pieces.

This saw recordings of excerpts from Macbeth and The Bartered Bride and most importantly, from Tannhäuser and Das Rheingold. - [Delius: A Mass of Life Prelude, An Arabesque & Songs of Sunset (The Beecham Collection)](https://somm-recordings.com/recording/delius-a-mass-of-life-prelude-an-arabesque-songs-of-sunset-the-beecham-collection/) - Sea Drift, A Dance Rhapsody No.2, A Song before Sunrise ...
