Label: SIGNUM UK 014 Our Price: $17.50 Quantity in Basket: none Sonata No 1 in G minor; Sonata No 2 in A major; Sonata No 3 in D minor; Sonata No 4 in F major; Sonata no 5 in B minor; Sonata No 6 in C major Sonata No 7 in C minor; Sonata No 8 in G major; Sonata No 9 in E minor; Sonata No 10 in F minor; Sonata No 11 in D major; Sonata no 12 in A minor Traditionally known as the composer of the Four Seasons and the Gloria, the work of Cecilia Bartoli has shown that lesser-known works of the red priest from Venice can become hit records too. Now Signum Records are delighted to introduce a two disc set on period instruments of the 12 Violin Sonatas, Opus 2. Cordaria features internationally-renowned baroque violinist Walter Reiter, "an artist who transcends authenticity to enter the universal" as one critic wrote, and an eminent continuo team of harpsichord, cello and theorbo. Written in 1708, just before the 'L'estro armonico' concertos, these sonatas contain all the passion and the virtuosity, all the lyricism and emotion, which have made the concertos so eternally popular. In the words of the great Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot, "Op. 2 is fully Vivaldian and certainly deserves to take its place among his other masterworks." (2 CDs for the price of 1) |

Label: SIGNUM UK 037 Our Price: $17.50 Quantity in Basket: none SONATAS & CHAMBER MUSIC FOR OBOE: Sonata in C minor, RV 53; Sonata in C major, RV 779; Sonata in G minor, RV 28; Trio-sonata in E minor, Op. 1 No. 2, RV 67; concerto in G minor, RV 106; Sonata in B flat, RV 34; Sonata a 4 in C major, RV 801. Gail Hennessy, baroque oboe; Nicholas Parle, organ and harpsichord; With Roldolfo Richter, violin; Sally Holman, bossoon; Katherine Sharman, cello and Peter McCarthy, viiolone. Gail Hennessy (baroque oboe) and Nicholas Parle (organ and harpsichord) are reunited for their second collaboration on Signum Records. Pellegrina's Delight celebrates Vivaldi's contribution to oboe repertoire in the early eighteenth century. Vivaldi wrote at least 16 concertos for solo oboe, however this recording offers an overview of Vivaldi's prominent use of the solo oboe in his chamber music. The disc also serves to illustrate Vivaldi's stylistic development between c. 1705 and c.1720. The Quartet Sonata in C major (RV 779) was written during the first decade of Vivaldi's activity as a composer, when he was serving as a violin teacher at the Ospedale delta Piet in Venice. Selected girls were admitted after an audition to the musical establishment. Vivaldi made a note on this manuscript of the names of the four female musicians who were chosen to perform the sonata. They are Pellegrina (oboe), Prudenza (violin), Lucietta (organ) and Candida (chalumeau). |

Label: SIGNUM UK 059 Our Price: $17.50 Quantity in Basket: none JONATHAN DOVE: Blee the Lord, O my soul JONATHAN RATHBONE: Absolon, my Son WILL TODD: Angel Song II JEREMY FILSELL: Mysterium Christi HUMPHREY CLUCAS: Hear my crying, O God GABRIEL JACKSON: Now I have known, O Lord JAMES MACMILLAN: Chosen PHILIP MOORE: I saw Him RICHARD BLACKFORD: On Another’s Sorrow BARRIE BIGNOLD: Peace; WARD SWINGLE: Give us this day To celebrate its first twenty-five years of vibrant music making, the Vasari Singers commissioned ten composers each to write an anthem that might reflect the state of the world at the start of the new millennium. Their brief suggested that their work should be able to site comfortably within the context of a cathedral Evensong, but that it could also look beyond any constraints of Liturgy or formal religious doctrine to embrace a wider, more ecumenical audience; something more humanistic perhaps, that might connect more relevantly with multi-cultural, multi-faith societies of the world in the 21st century. |

As well as music by composers who were at the heart of French musical life in Paris, such as Olivier Messiaen and Francis Poulenc, this disc features works by lesser-known composers such as Déodat de Severac and Pierre Villette. The choir’s history can be charted back to the founding of Eton in 1441 by Henry VI. The present day choir is comprised of Eton students (with the occasional master), about half of whom have been choristers at cathedrals or chapels before they come to Eton for their secondary education. “The Choir sing with real passion under Ralph Allwood … Eton College Chapel lends its acoustic to a quite exceptional choir/organ disc, which will give pleasure also to people who may not be regular choral music collectors.” - Musicalpointers.co.uk |
