The Black Moth was Georgette Heyer’s first historical
novel, written when she was only 19. It was set in the
Georgian period, and although it was with the
Regency period that she really made her name, it NA0144
has many of the characteristics that were to make £18.25 (9 CDs)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among

Hi f the
The Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Lan Shui have previously impressed critics
worldwide with their performances of Rachmaninov’s Second and Third Symphony.
Yevgeny Sudbin once again joins the orchestra with whom the
BIS2012
reviewer in American Record Guide described as ‘the most stunning
£9.00 (Hybrid SACD)
performance of the Rhapsody [on a theme of Paganini]
I’ve ever heard’.

Frank Peter Zimmermann, who in 2010 was awarded the international Paul
Hindemith Prize of the City of Hanau, makes a great case for these works.
His Trio recently won the 2013 BBC Music Magazine Award for their Chamber

Ole Edvard Antonsen
Säo Paulo Symphony Orchestra, Lan Shui
In France, where jazz enjoyed a greater influence on classical composers than
perhaps anywhere else, there was a regular explosion of trumpet works during
the 20th century. Virtuoso Ole Edvard Antonsen has recorded five works that
clearly demonstrate the colourful, vibrant and technical abilities of the trumpet.

J. S. BACH (1685-1750)
Secular Cantatas, Volume 3
Durchlauchster Leopold BWV 173a; Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten BWV 202; Schwingt
Freudig euch empor BWV 36c; Wedding Quodlibet (fragment) BWV 524
Joanne Lunn, Hiroya Aoki, Makoto Sakurada, Roderick Williams
Bach Collegium Japan, Masaaki Suzuki
Two of the works on this disc were composed for weddings. Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten
is a charming and gracious garland of recitatives and arias for soprano solo and the
Quodlibet is an unceremonious composition which was probably intended for a private
family function.

Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet
If the wind quintet genre has its origins in the early 19th century, it was
during the 20th that it came of age. The possibilities that the combination of
flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn offered in terms of sounds and musical
character are exploited here to the full.

The elegant gestures, the sensitive tone, and the colloquial interaction of the

harpsichord as the continuo instrument underscores the progressive element in
these compositions.

Territory Exclusion North America
Capped by one of the most famous speeches ever written, King Henry V recalls the momentous English victory
at Agincourt. With comic sub-plots to be found among Henry’s soldiers, the production boasts some terrific
performances – including Sam Cox as the ‘splendidly unhinged Pistol' (Telegraph). In the title role is Jamie Parker,
who ‘casts such a rapt spell that you feel the entire audience would rise up to march behind him.’ (Independent)

OA1108D
£17.01 (DVD)
The Biblical story of Belshazzar’s hubristic arrogance set against the valour of the young warrrior-leader Cyrus
provided the 20-year-old Rossini with a dramatic story with West-Eastern resonances which still speak to us today.
For the title role of Cyrus, Rossini wrote what would be his longest-ever contralto role, to which the great Rossini
singer Ewa Podles is both naturally attracted and ideally suited. She is partnered by two young American stars of
Rossini singing, Jessica Pratt and Michael Spyres, and a conductor-scholar, Will Crutchfield, of immense experience
and sympathy.
