Dvorak stated elsewhere that he had always remained a simple Bohemian folk musician at heart. Born in 1841, the son of a butcher, he grew up in the countryside. He always heard Bohemian folk tunes, probably even in his mother's womb. Folk music was clearly part of Dvorak's DNA, and a Slavic folklore tone permeates the two works on this CD. 0028948677955 CAVM4867795.2 45383021 .00 17.99 .19 CAVI-MUSIC COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 10/31/2025 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/27/4445227-3422550.jpg 4 1 N SOSKIN,MARK / ANDERSON,JAY EMPATHY 716043194322 SPS31943.2 44199258 .00 22.99 .18 STEEPLECHASE COMPACT DISCS POP JAZZ 04/15/2023 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/62/4304962-3297511.jpg 52 1 N MCCLURE,RON JUST SAYIN' 716043195923 SPS31959.2 44200244 .00 22.99 .19 STEEPLECHASE COMPACT DISCS POP JAZZ 03/15/2024 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/35/4305135-3297529.jpg 75 1 N PETTIFORD,OSCAR MEMORIAL CONCERT -

The definitive collection of Bonporti's chamber music, including many first-ever recordings. Labirinti Armonici is an Italian-based early-music ensemble with a string of Brilliant Classics albums to it's credit, focusing on the neglected music of the north-Italian composer Francesco Antonio Bonporti (1672-1749). A priest like his contemporary Vivaldi, he focused his creative energies on music for the church and for chamber ensemble, and it is this impressive catalogue of work that Labirinti Armonici has documented. Bonporti has by and large been heard only in excerpted, fragmentary form on collections of Italian-Baroque composers, but Labirinti Armonici reveal the true breadth of his creative personality. There are four surviving collections of stylish sonatas for two violins and continuo, published as Opp. 1, 2, 4, and 6. Labirinti Armonici take an imaginative approach to the continuo part, enriching the skeletal figured-bass line with cello, harpsichord, and organ in various combinations according to the mood and character of each specific sonata. Having most likely studied the violin with Arcangelo Corelli, Bonporti shares with this master of Baroque-violin style a graceful approach to melody which prizes cantabile above virtuoso flourishes, though a thorough understanding of Baroque ornamentation is needed to make the melodies rise and fall with the harmonic intensity intended by the composer. Bonporti tends to make bolder harmonic excursions than Corelli, and in itself, this is likely to make a more striking appeal to modern ears. When separately issued, these collections won glowing praise from international reviewers, and this reissue makes an invaluable contribution to the field of Baroque chamber music available at a more accessible price than ever. 'The overall effect is of a highly professional group at home with the repertoire. So little of Bonporti's works have been recorded to the highest standards; let us hope this is a start of a revival!'

On the first LP, Schumann's Fantasie Op. 17 from the New York concert at Alice Tully Hall in 1972 and Liszt's Sonata in B minor from the Paris concert at Salle Gaveau in 1978 are included. These two performances of the works were significant milestones in Biret's concert career, opening up to her the stages of the Soviet Union and East Germany. 747313274222 NXS10.1 45383434 .00 29.99 .47 NAXOS VINYL LP CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 02/20/2026 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/73/4446473-3493597.jpg 4 1 N HELSINKI PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA LEIF SEGERSTAM & HELSINKI PHILHARMONIC ORCH - SIBE This 15 CD compilation pays homage to Leif Segerstam (1944-2024), one of the greatest Sibelius conductors of all time. Segerstam left a lasting mark in music history in numerous ways. His Sibelius recordings for Ondine were recorded during his more than a decade long tenure as the chief conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and form an integral part of his more than 30 albums for Ondine between 1994 and 2015. These recordings with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra are a fortuitous combination of the orchestra's tradition of performing Sibelius, going back to collaboration with the composer himself, with Segerstam's experience, sensitive ear and creative energy. Here the stars aligned in a truly remarkable way. 761195150023 OND1500.2 45383540 .00 99.99 .79 ONDINE COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 10/03/2025 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/80/4446480-3422684.jpg 0 15 Y AMPHON NOVUS EARLY MUSIC ENSEMBLE MONFERRATO: MOTETTI A VOCE SOLA LIBRO PRIMO OP. 4 From the early 17th century onwards, the polyphonic motet that had dominated sacred music in previous centuries found itself complemented in both liturgical and devotional contexts by a new, more stream- lined form: the solo motet. This allowed prayer and meditation to be accompanied by music even in places where maintaining a stable polyphonic choir was impractical or economically unfeasible. At the same time, composers were afforded greater freedom to align with the emerging 'modern taste' of the time, which valued the expressive power of a single voice supported by organ or other continuo instruments over the contrapuntal interplay of multiple voices. This modern aesthetic increasingly prioritized the transmission of 'affetti,' seen as essential for the true expression of a text. The compositions presented on this CD by the Ensemble Amphion Novus, a premiere recording on an edition prepared specifically for this occasion, exemplify precisely this direction. 8007194108361 TCS611301.2 45383748 .00 18.99 .19 TACTUS RECORDS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 11/28/2025 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/04/4446504-3422685.jpg 8 1 N FRANKFURT RADIO SYMPHONY SHOSTAKOVICH: SYMS NOS. 4 & 5 - COMPLETE SYMS V. 1 Alain Altinoglu and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra have begun to record the complete symphonies of Shostakovich, starting with his Fourth and Fifth symphonies. Shostakovich dared to express human suffering, passion, fear and catastrophe in his music, but always asking the same nagging question: what is man? In this sense, these two symphonies open with a question - an idea of martyrdom that was to become one of the central ideas of his later symphonies and, of course, of his Lady MacBeth of Mzensk. Both symphonies are dated between 1935-1937 when Shostakovich was in his thirties; this was one of the darkest and most difficult phases of his life, marked as it was by the repercussions of some of his writings and the arrest of many people close to him, including members of his family. 3701624511732 ALLP1173.2 45424403 .00 29.99 .19 ALPHA COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 11/28/2025 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/40/4449240-3432591.jpg 11 2 N KIRSCHNEREIT,MATTHIAS WAGNER LIAISONS The German star pianist Matthias Kirschnereitdedicates this album entirely to the piano cosmos of Richard Wagner?.

The "Friedenskonzert" is part of the Baseler Psalms, which were commissioned for the millennium celebrations of the Basel Minster. In the programme, it is framed by two chorale arrangements on the Lutheran chorale "Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir", one by Johann Sebastian Bach, the other by Max Reger. Furthermore, Gudrun Sidonie Otto sings two extremely demanding works, "Aus den Visionen der Hildegard von Bingen" by Sofia Gubaidulina and "Djamila Boupach�" by Luigi Nono. The whole programme is framed by two of the most important works of organ music, Bach's Fantasia et Fuga g-minor, BWV 542 and the organ sonata "Der 94. Psalm" by Julius Reubke, both masterly played at the organ of the Basel Minster by Andreas Liebig.
