Watteau, la leon de musique, invites the listener to discover the music that is ever-present in the works of Antoine Watteau, an early eighteenth-century painter known for his ftes galantes paintings of the upper class in idealized natural settings, often playing or listening to music. Watteau was also friends with many musicians and was able to accurately capture their movements in his work. Featuring works by Lully, Vivaldi, Couperin and other contemporaries, this release invokes the unbreakable link between art and music. Performers include Ren Jacobs, William Christie, Bernarda Fink and Paul ODette.

WOrLD PrEmIErE rEcOrDING

IMPORT This release presents the world premire recording of Wolfgang Rihms latest orchestral work, the symphony Nhe fern (Near Far), commissioned by and composed in close collaboration with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra under its principal conductor, James Gafgan. The score is divided into four parts, designed to preface Brahmss four symphonies. True to the works title, each section is a homage profoundly linked with its model, yet at the same time constantly moving away from it. Nhe fern is coupled with Rihms setting of a Goethe poem that gave the work its title, Dmmrung senkte sich von oben. It contains the line, Dmmrung senkte sich von oben / Schon ist alle Nhe fern (Twilight has fallen from above, / Already all nearness is distant). Originally written for voice and piano, the song is heard here in a setting for baritone and orchestra featuring Hans Christoph Begemann.

Hans Christoph Begemann is about as fine a Lieder singer as we have any right to expect. His voice is smooth and even throughout its range he captivates with his story-telling ability and sense of drama.

Price Code: A19 (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) IMPORT Francesco da Milano (dubbed Il Divino) was celebrated as the preeminent composer of lute music in Renaissance Italy. He was widely published in his lifetime and remained popular across Europe into the 17th century. In this generous selection of his favorite works by the master, Paul ODette has grouped these elegant and rened compositions into proto suites, each consisting of a ricercar, a fantasia, and one or more intabulations of vocal hits of the day.

His burnished tone and commonsense approach to period performance are a touchstone for Renaissance and baroque lute

Price Code: A19 (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) IMPORT Hyperion presents a second volume of flute concertos from eighteenth-centur y Naples featuring utist Carlo Ipata and the period band Auser Musici. Their rst album of this repertoire was praised not only for its impeccably stylish playing but also for the discovery of the music itself, which despite its obscurity is delightfully appealing. The works are placed in their historical context in the booklet note by Stefano Aresi, who writes, To listen to the ute concertos of these composers is to be transported to the atmosphere of everyday musicmaking in Naples, that of the private concerts in the aristocratic palaces. They give a good idea of the extremely high average quality of the compositions habitually consumed by the cream of Neapolitan society, perfectly representing the taste of an era and the outstanding virtuosity of the performers who were regularly employed there.

MAIL ON SUNDAY

IMPORT The piano works of American composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes represent a remarkable musical achievement. Griffes was active as a composer for little more than twelve years. Nevertheless, he produced pieces of great maturity that are both concise and extraordinarily powerful, showing the contemporary European influences to which he was exposed but also demonstrating a highly individual compositional voice. Roman Sketches, his most famous work, includes The White Peacock an acknowledged Impressionist masterpiece while the final movement, Clouds, heralds the language of modernism. Almost all of Griffess piano music is present here, played by his compatriot Garrick Ohlsson, who here applies the full force of his interpretive and technical prowess.

Many of these works have never been recorded or indeed published before, and have been excavated from the archives by Driver himself. This double album is therefore a valuable resource for admirers of a composer whom Hyperion has done so much to champion through recordings. This body of work includes juvenilia, miniatures (written with an eye to academic performance during Bowens years as a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, but all impressive enough in quality to be concert works), his two Violin Sonatas, a Suite and a number of single-movement works. All show a superb composer of chamber music, a genuine original with a performers ear.

He was known then as one of the worlds greatest pianists, had studied with Liszt, and knew Brahms. From his teens, there began to emerge a body of composition which showed a maturity well beyond his years and seemed to produce a fusion of the then-incompatible schools of the moderns (Liszt and Wagner) and the traditionalists (Brahms and his followers). DAlberts piano concertos have been recorded to much acclaim by Piers Lane, who is featured on this mid-priced Helios series reissue of the composers works for solo piano.

IMPORT SACD Hybrid/ Stereo & Multi-channel/ DSD Sir Colin Davis conducts the London Symphony Orchestra and chorus and a stellar cast of soloists in a concert performance of Webers eerily fantastical opera, Der Freischtz. Der Freischtz is heralded as one of the cornerstones of Romantic opera, drawing on traditional German folk tunes and elements of Romanticism for the rst time in the history of opera. The evocative and colorful orchestration is particularly impressive in the Wolf s Glen scene long considered the most gruesomely expressive rendering of evil ever found in a musical score. Many listeners may be familiar with this opera without even knowing it; several of the melodies have been adapted as hymn tunes and the overture is regularly performed as a stand-alone work in the concert hall.

Viewing Weber as one of Wagners major precursors, Davis presents the opera on the grandest of scales, with big orchestral forces, and a pair of established Wagnerian leads in Simon ONeills Max and Christine Brewers Agathe.

A two-time GRAMMY Award winner for his Verdi readings, Abdrazakov has quickly established himself as one of operas most sought-after basses. Since making his La Scala debut in 2001 at only 25, the Russian singer has become a mainstay at leading houses worldwide. Filmed in the Mariinsky Opera House, the video includes a stunning picture gallery of scenes from the performance. As is the case with many of Verdis operas, Attila is imbued with the spirit of Risorgimento, the national liberation movement of the Italian people against foreign rule and for the unication of Italy. Looking ahead, Attila is the rst of four opera videos that are planned for release on the Mariinsky label in 2013.

Price Code: A21 (Suggested Retail Price: $21.98) IMPORT Conjuratio , Mirares collection of music by German composer Matthias Weckmann, brings to light a body of work that deserves far greater attention than it has received to date. Weckmann was a student of Heinrich Schtz and rose through the ranks to become one of the leading musicians of Hamburg. He was the organist at two major churches and founded the citys Collegium Musicum. Much of the music heard here, admirably performed by the Ricercar Consort led by Philippe Pierlot, was inspired by Weckmanns experiences associated with a terrible epidemic of plague that decimated Hamburg in 1663.

ADVANCE REVIEW ALBUM OF THE WEEK

DOMESTIC In 2001, Philip Glass composed the music for the lm Naqoyqatsi: Life as War. It was the last film in a trilogy by director Godfrey Reggio that featured only images and music. When the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra invited Glass to be a creative director for its Boundless Series during the 2011-12 season, Glass thought of his cello concerto and its possible life beyond film. The CSO commissioned the Cello Concerto No.2 Naqoyqatsi and gave the composer the opportunity to have it reborn as a proper concerto. The resulting recording is drawn from the live performances. This dynamic seven-movement work is conducted here by long-time Glass champion Dennis Russell Davies with soloist Matt Haimovitz.

 This dark score gives us Glasss late style at its best. Weird melodic modes kink around sharp harmonic corners; the solo cello gets moments of unsettling loveliness and spectacular virtuosity.

The constant ebb and flow of American composer Philip Glasss music is like a hand gently rocking a cradle, periodically giving the crib a good, swift shake, startling the baby, then going back to a lulling rhythm. Getting these mesmerizing repetitions and startling juxtapositions right is the hallmark of Anne Manson and the Manitoba Chamber Orchestras latest album.

IMPORT File in: Jazz Brilliant musical explorer Mdric Collignon likes to revisit the work of those who inspired him. After Ennio Morricone and Miles Davis, the cornetists unbridled imagination turns to the legendary progressive-rock band King Crimson. Originally conceived as a stage project, A la recherche du Roi Fripp is now available on CD. Collignon plunged himself into the integral work of the band, studying every version to nd the best and reinterpret them with his own energy. On the album he is joined by his group Jus de Bocse and a string octet, which adds a touch of the classical baroque. This is King Crimson as youve never imagined. As Collignon says, Stop wondering if it is rock or jazz. Wonder if youre ready to listen with your heart and your body.

However, Roney has latched on to the spiking, probing, darker side of Miles legacy, which seems better suited to his musical temperament than does the winsomely lyrical playing of his famous colleague. Roneys latest recording is hard bop at its nest and features the concentrated power coupled with devastating power and originality for which Roneys bands have become known. The bands set list on Understanding is as unique and through-provoking as its playing, offering tunes by Roy Brooks, Duke Pearson, McCoy Tyner as well as some originals by both band members and the leader.

Price Code: A19 (Suggested Retail Price: $19.98) DOMESTIC File in: World / India In October 2011, at the seasoned age of 91, Ravi Shankar invited his longtime tabla accompanist, Tanmoy Bose, to his home in Encinitas, California for an informal recording session. Over four days, they worked in Shankars living room, recording seven different ragas. The resulting music is pure Shankar a pairing of deep musical experience and brilliant technique performed with the energy and passion he brings to his live concerts. The rst four of these sessions, released in 2011, won a GRAMMY award for Best World Music Album. The Living Room Sessions Part 2 is no less noteworthy, with three of the last session recordings made by Maestro Ravi Shankar before his death in December 2012. Shankars playing is characterized by such intensity, clarity, and delight that it reveals, once more, the maestros musical genius as something to reckon with, even in his tenth decade.

One of the great figures of 20th century music... his unique legacy and immense contribution to the history of Indian music is destined to outlast us all.
