The title of "The Decalogue" has a touch of the grandiose: it means "The Ten Commandments." Yet this score, composed by Sufjan Stevens for a dance work choreographed by Justin Peck that premiered with the New York City Ballet in May of 2017, is quiet and experimental. Stevens's piano score, as played and recorded by Timo Andres, sounds like etudes in the Romantic-modernist tradition, as if prompted by Debussy. With "The Decalogue," now released digitally, and on vinyl and CD, Sufjan is making-gently, without ostentation-new departures.

The German-born conductor Otto Klemperer, a towering figure in the musical history of the 20th century, died at the age of 88 on July 8th 1973, so 2023 will mark the 50th anniversary of his death. His complete recordings on Warner Classics catalogue are being made available for the first time in 2 huge separate boxes; the first volume with the Symphonic Works, Concertos & Lieder (95CD) will be released in June 2023. All recordings are remastered in HD 192/24 from original sources. One month before the release of the first box, we are releasing on vinyl and digital HD + Dolby Atmos one of his most famous album. The epic Symphony No. 2 brought Gustav Mahler and Otto Klemperer together in 1905, when the 20-year-old conductor took charge of the off-stage band for a performance in Berlin. Mahler, impressed, subsequently recommended him for appointments in Prague and Hamburg. In this recording Klemperer rewards the composer's faith with an interpretation of granite-like strength, drawing magnificent performances from orchestra, chorus and soloists.

Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound. There are no more human voices, only planets and suns revolving in their orbits, wrote Gustav Mahler to his friend Willem Mengelberg, after completing the sketches for his Symphony No.8. The legendary relationship between Mahler, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Mengelberg has established a firm tradition of playing Mahler in Amsterdam. Mariss Janson's's brilliant interpretation of the Symphony of a Thousand is yet another jewel in the crown of the Concertgebouw's acclaimed Mahler cycle. Featuring a star-studded cast and excellent choral forces, this superb performance is offered in surround-sound and is accompanied by a bonus Blu-ray disc of the performance.

Jun 07, 2019
Britten Sinfonia, recorded in the sublime acoustic of King's College Chapel. Alongside the work is the magnificent orchestrated Te Deum from the Collegium Regale service, and a premiere recording of the Magnificat from the same service, orchestrated by John Rutter. For both these recordings, the Choir and orchestra are joined additionally by the King's College mixed voice choir, King's Voices. Howells' completed Cello Concerto is performed by former King's chorister Guy Johnston, one of the UK's best solo cellists, with the Britten Sinfonia directed by Christopher Seaman. Also recorded in King's College Chapel, the surround-sound recording presents this glorious, but lesser-known work in a way never before heard, but in an environment perfectly suited to Howells' music. Stephen Cleobury rounds off the second part of the album with three of Howells' best-known organ works, performed on the recently-restored Harrison & Harrison organ, also presented here in surround-sound. Accompanying the album are specially-written essays by two of the foremost experts on the composer. Paul Spicer explores how the thrilling Te Deum came about as the result of a bet between Howells and the Dean of King's, and the subsequent canticle settings for cathedrals and foundations across the land for which Howells became so well-known. An English Mass, in contrast, is one of Howells' darkest religious works, with an agonising and troubled presentation of much of the Mass, and Spicer's essay considers Howells' state of mind and some of the possible reasons for this. Jonathan Clinch's essay describes the fascinating journey of completing Howells' Cello Concerto, giving a remarkable insight into the mind of the composer and the history of the work itself.
