Label: REGIS RECORDS 1115 Our Price: $9.75 Quantity in Basket: none FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797 – 1828) Piano Sonata No. 9 in major (D 575) Piano Sonata No. 11 in F minor (D 625) Moments Musicaux (D 780) Nos. 1,3,6 “not just a case of the performer subordinating himself to the composer, but of both, united in the service of music’s greatest miracle – an entire attitude to life encapsulated in sound… From the opening phrases of each it is clear that his sights are set on long-term processes – this is not playing which depicts; rather it maps out a journey of the spirit… same total concentration and inner intensity as the sonatas; the last (moment musicaux) extends sublimely to a hypnotic 11.48!” – Gramophone |

Label: REGIS RECORDS 1120 Our Price: $9.75 Quantity in Basket: none FREDERIC CHOPIN (1810 – 1849) Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 35 “Funeral March” Preludes 1-24, Op. 28 “I for one prefer Howard Shelley’s performance here… Overall, he finds an impressive blend of virtuosity and personal insight. Both the B flat minor Sonata and the Preludes are equally successful. The Sonata opens with a fast and temperamental tempo after the initial bars and Shelly never loses his cool and keeps a firm grasp on the structure. This is a powerfully masculine style that also can adapt to the quiet lyricism of Chopin… musical thoroughness can be heard in the eerie finale, where pedaling and deftly varied touch manage to create all the different colors. Shelley eschews spontaneity & … does not shirk from observing Chopin’s tempos” – Gramophone |

Wunderlich's repertoire was indeed broad, yet he had very clear ideas of which roles he was capable and which he should forgo until later ... He insisted that lyric tenors should find time for operetta saying that 'it's good fun to be able to let off steam once in a while. But you have to be able to exhibit a sense of style' ... His Mozart was exemplary, a perfect mixture of style and elegance, perfect breath control ... It seems that Wunderlich was impossible to dislike: his fellow performers admired his absolute professionalism. He was also a generous singer, fulsome in his praise of others and always willing to learn" – James Murray |

I was full of apprehension and mad at everyone… a bundle of nerves’… For the audience however his performances were electric, as I can personally attest” – James Murray, 2009 |
