This world premi�re recording reveals Benda�s authentic and often spectacular written-out �improvisations� in new editions of his sonatas, re-uniting them with a violin preserved unaltered since its creation in 1735. 747313230778 NXS8572307.2 16093683 .00 19.99 .19 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 10/25/2011 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/5/0/7/0/1900705.jpg 6 ARENSKY / YING QUARTET QUARTETS NOS 1 & 2 / PIANO QUINTET 053479214324 SONL92143.2 16077744 .00 18.99 .20 SONO LUMINUS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 10/25/2011 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/0/1/7/0/1900710.jpg 0 MOZART / WILLIAMS / JANICZEK / CROUCH / ATKINS DIVERTIMENTO K334 & OBOE QUARTET K370 691062037624 LINN376SACD 16093409 .00 22.99 .24 LINN RECORDS SUPER-AUDIO CD CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 10/25/2011 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/5/1/7/0/1900715.jpg 0 IVES / ADAMS / BRITTEN / OREGON SYMPHONY / KALMAR MUSIC FOR A TIME OF WAR 827949039362 PNTA5186393SACD 16077614 .00 21.99 .24 PENTATONE SUPER-AUDIO CD CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 10/25/2011 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/9/1/7/0/1900719.jpg 3 MENDELSSOHN / MOZART / BSO / MUNCH SYMPHONIES 3 & 4 Charles Munch conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra in these 1955 BBC archives recordings. 5060244550391 ICAS5039DVD 16093300 .00 26.99 .27 ICA CLASSICS DIGITAL VIDEO DISC MOVIE ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 10/25/2011 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/7/4/7/0/1900747.jpg 5 VAUGHAN WILLIAMS / JOB / LPO / BOULT SYMPHONY 8 / MASQUE FOR DANCING Sir Adrian Boult conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra. 5060244550377 ICAS5037DVD 16093294 .00 26.99 .27 ICA CLASSICS DIGITAL VIDEO DISC MOVIE ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 10/25/2011 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/8/4/7/0/1900748.jpg 233 TALBOT / ROYAL BALLET / WORDSWORTH ALICES ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND Lewis Carroll's ever-popular story provides the basis for Christopher Wheeldon's spectacular new work, starring Royal Ballet Principal Lauren Cuthbert son.

It seems as if her ear can discern the sound in which a leaf lives, the sound that a drop of water sends out to the universe. A mysterious power is at work here, a power that listens and imagines, builds impressions into solid forms, works them into musical notation, and gets musicians to perform scores they swore could never be performed." (Ayumu Yasutomi) "F-fragments" for accordion and piano was composed in 2012, as Japan's third major incident of radioactive contamination continued to unfold. The composition, composed during the worst crisis in postwar Japan, takes as it's motif the tension between the energy of the human body and the radioactivity and harassment that are destroying it. "Book I" is the ambitious realization of a compositional concept, in which the internal condition of the performer is composed at the moment of performance. Each of the four movements has a different character, and each demands that the performer take on a different character. The performer has to employ his every technique and completely open his five senses. Making reference to Johann Sebastian Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier", Harada's work "Nach Bach" consists of 24 pieces each of which takes the music of Bach as it wells up from the abyss and weaves it into an incandescent tapestry. Like a radiant body, the sound that pours forth from the piano frolics, laughs, prays, and finally returns to it's source, the cosmos. The present CD contains seven selected pieces from this composition.
