Voyager / Munich Opera Horns

CD · 1 disc

$19.99

Composer: Oscar Franz, Konstantia Gourzi, Anton Reicha, Hans-Jurg Sommer, Richard Strauss, Pierre-Max Dubois
Artist: Munich Opera Horns
Released: Jun 16, 2023

In 2023 the Bayerisches Staatsorchester is marking the five-hundredth anniversary of its formation with a series of releases by a number of its outstanding ensembles, all of which document the versatility of the orchestra and of its members. The second ensemble to be showcased by this series are the Munich Opera Horns representing the horn section from the Bayerische Staatsoper.

Ever since they were formed in 2007 the Munich Opera Horns have been keen to revive the tradition that lies behind their ensemble and to go beyond their involvement in opera performances and symphony concerts by developing new and equally valid forms of ensemble playing. They are now launching their debut album on the in-house label, Bayerische Staatsoper Recordings. Their title, Voyager, recalls a space probe and sets the tone for the recording as a whole inasmuch as it takes its listeners on a musical journey from the origins of their instrument to contemporary works for the modern valve horn. The Munich Opera Horns derive their sound from their awareness of their past, while continuing to develop the horn’s expressive potential. They perform not only works that were originally written for their family of instruments but also specially prepared arrangements of classics such as Richard Strauss’s Second Horn Concerto and a paraphrase of his opera Daphne. Furthermore they also present entirely new works that have been composed especially for them. This ensemble is setting new standards with its astonishing virtuosity and delicate sonorities.

AFFINITY (VERVE ACOUSTIC SOUNDS SERIES)

Vinyl · 1 disc

$41.49

Artist: PETERSON, OSCAR
Released: Feb 27, 2026

Affinity captures a studio session from September 1962 in Chicago, featuring Peterson on piano alongside his long-time trio partners Ray Brown (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums). The album offers a refined selection of standards delivered with the assured interplay that defined the Peterson/Brown/Thigpen trio. Peterson's first recorded take on the Bill Evans classic "Waltz For Debby" is a lyrical, nuanced performance - and "Gravy Waltz," (co-written by Ray Brown,) showcases the trio's rhythmic drive and subtle groove. As a whole, Affinity is a tasteful, well-crafted example of Peterson's work in the early 1960s - a strong trio recording that reflects his continued commitment to swing, subtlety, and ensemble balance, making it a valuable piece for any serious jazz collection. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Schubert: Lieder with Orchestra / Appl, Jockel, Munich Radio Orchestra

CD · 1 disc

$19.99

Composer: Franz Schubert
Artist: Benjamin Appl
Released: Oct 06, 2023

Time and again, composers – well-known and lesser-known – have arranged Franz Schubert's piano songs for orchestra. These versions are not in any way intended to cast doubt upon the powerful quality of the originals, they merely place them in a different light, and/or attempt to make them easier to perform on a larger scale – when an art song cannot be performed in an intimate salon or chamber music hall, it can also make an impact in a large concert hall.

Baritone Benjamin Appl has compiled nineteen such arrangements from the 19th and 20th centuries for this new CD from BR-KLASSIK. The Münchner Rundfunkorchester, conducted by Oscar Jockel, provides accompaniment that is subtle and in keeping with the work. The album is ultimately rounded off by the first recording of Johann von Herbeck’s orchestrations of Schubert's dances, thus establishing a connection between folk music and Schubert's art songs.

CD · 2 discs

$20.99 ~~$29.99~~ Save 30%

Composer: STRAUSS, JOHANN
Artist: Zilina, Pollack, Ma-Zach, Groiss, Kumpfmüller, Cortez, Equiluz, Födinger
Released: May 31, 2011

Set in the town of Chalons near the German border at the time of the French Revolution during the Reign of Terror in 1794, Johann Strauss II’s final operetta The Goddess of Reason languished for 111 years until this 2009 in-concert revival. Its light-hearted mockery of the aristocracy, morality and the army, somewhat controversial at the time, seems as harmless now as that of Bernstein’s ebullient opera Candide and its humour stands the test of time. Abounding in waltz tunes and marches, its exuberant music is vintage Strauss. For this recording Christian Pollack has reconstructed the score as it would have been heard on its opening night with additional items that Strauss added for its 25th performance.

20 Years Hohenstaufen Festival

CD · 5 discs

$38.99

Composer: Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, Osvaldo Golijov, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Maurice Ravel, Arnold Sch
Artist: Hohenstaufen Ensemble
Released: Jun 06, 2025

The special vibrations that the Hohenstaufen Chamber Music Festival generates are directly audible in the contents of this anniversary CD box, which consists solely of live performances. The choice of music ranges far and wide through all periods and genres: from Johann Sebastian Bach through key works of the Viennese Classical school and the German Romantics to French Impressionist compositions and classics of the Modern era. There are jazz numbers and contemporary works too, a further pointer to the ethos of the Hohenstaufen Chamber Music Festival, which does not call for tradition to be upheld on principle but aims at a constant rediscovery of the world and it's inhabitants through their sounds and timbres, no matter whether they come from "old" or "new", "serious" or "light" music. Hohenstaufen doesn't pigeonhole things like that; it believes in taking your partners to make "good" music. Music is good, quite simply, when it moves us, uplifts us, challenges us. "Music must never be comfy," to quote the pithy conclusion that Helmuth Rilling, to whom the Festival is greatly indebted, once drew. "It must stir people, touch them personally, give them food for thought." If the pieces brought together here can achieve this, the Hohenstaufen Chamber Music Festival will have received the biggest twentieth birthday present it could have.
