The Turkish pianist Idil Biret was one of the greatest child prodigies of the 20th century. Her recital at the Boston Conservatory demonstrated that she is no less prodigious today. She played a long and demanding program with the power, concentration. 747313127276 NXS8571272.2 14654756 .00 14.99 .20 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 09/29/2009 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/1/8/9/6/1556981.jpg 1 1 N MELONI,SEBASTIANO / ORRU / OXLEY IMPROVISED PIECES FOR TRIO 705105639048 BGRU8904.2 14875960 .00 13.99 .15 BIG ROUND RECORDS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 01/26/2010 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/7/7/2/0/1600277.jpg 1 1 N MUSSORGSKI / OELER PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION 4260036255232 GENN87523.2 14900167 .00 13.99 .25 GENUIN COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 01/01/2007 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/1/8/9/0/1640981.jpg 3 1 N KARAJAN,HERBERT VON / MENUHIN / BPO / VSO VIOLIN CONCERTO 5 / SYMPHONY 9 Herbert von Karajan conducts the Vienna Symphony with Yehudi Menuhin and the Berlin Philharmonic in works by Mozart and Dvorak.

The book details the harrowing events surrounding the 7/7 London bombings in which the lives of Julie's daughter Jenny and fifty-one others were cruelly taken. The writing and recording of this disc has been a 5 year process - gradually refining the material through live performances until it felt ready. The songs with words are all settings of texts quoted in the book or included in Jenny's funeral service. The songs without words are a more visceral response to having read and re-read the book: sorrow, questioning, anger, despair, grief, memory, love. 5065001015045 ITRA1005.2 19160566 .00 16.99 .21

Widor (the foremost organ virtuoso of his day) with the restrained art-form of the French m�lodie. Yet it formed an important part of his output and he played a major part in it's establishment as a serious art-form. He composed nearly a hundred, including the song-cycle Chansons de mer in which the sea's constant ebb and flow, rendering all things transitory, reflects human life in it's ever-changing moods. The remaining m�lodies demonstrate the maturation of Widor's style in different ways. 747313234578 NXS8572345.2 15101655 .00 19.99 .19 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 06/29/2010 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/5/5/8/7/1657855.jpg 5 1 N JANACEK / BRNO PHILHARMONIC ORCH / HRUSA LACHIAN DANCES / SUITE FROM OPERA THE CUNNING 099925392321 SPP3923.2 14155253 .00 31.99 .20 SUPRAPHON COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL OPERA / OPERETTA / ORATORIO 11/25/2008 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/7/5/1/2/1452157.jpg 3 1 N BITRAN / RUIZ / OLGUIN / ALVARES / PIAZZOLLA MI CHELADA TRACKS 1.

He started playing the cello at the age of seven and concluded his formal studies at Indiana University under the guidance of world renowned cellist Janos Starker. In 1982 he founded the Cuarteto Latinoamericano, a string quartet that now enjoys world-wide recognition. In addition to frequent tours of both North and South America, the quartet also tours Europe, Israel and New Zealand. Recent performances have included New York's Carnegie Hall, Washington's Kennedy Center and Milan's Teatro Alla Scala. His recordings (more than 50 in all) have appeared in various labels such as Dorian, New Albion and Urtext and have received several prizes, including two Grammy Nominations in 2001: Best Chamber Music Performance and Best Classical CD at the Latin Grammys. �lvaro Bitr�n is regularly invited to play as soloist with some of the major orchestras in our continent: Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina and Venezue- la symphony orchestras, Dallas Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Seattle and San Antonio Symphony in the U.S. and Ottawa's National Arts Center Orchestra in Canada, among others. �lvaro Bitr�n is firmly committed to the creation of new music for his instrument and has premiered and recorded many new works dedi- cated to him. He has recently released two cello and piano CD's featuring new mu- sic by Latin American composers, as well as traditional repertoire. He has devoted much of his energy to teaching and is responsible for the development of an entire generation of cellists in Mexico. Currently he is a faculty member at the National Arts Center in Mexico City, at the UANL in Monterrey and at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. He offers seminars and master classes in many universities in the US and M�xico and plays in a cello built by Martin Stoss, in 1817, in Vienna. Mi Chelada This project was born in the attic of my house in The Woodlands, Texas in 2004. On those lonely Texan nights, with my son Daniel controlling the recording sessions and playing percussion and myself at the cello, we discovered the great pleasure of mixing strings, microphones and mallets ... years later, while living in Monterrey, that experiment materialized in this disk. In this musical adventure many different sounds converge, as well as many external and internal characters, all born in a delirious year, marked by strong personal life experiences. How could I explain such a diverse combination of musical works, united only by the sound of the cello? Perhaps as a self-portrait, using as a brush only the music that surrounds me at this moment in my life? Or maybe as a 'divertimento', a project -heterogeneous in appearance brought together solely by the fine thread of pleasure? Or perhaps as my birthday present a wink of an eye to my half-century of 'residence on Earth'? In any case, a small sign, my minimal contribution with what I do best, to this violent world that surrounds me. This unique experience of recording so many voices with my cello led me to explore my inner voice in search of the sound and character that each part required: a classic Mexican bolero, a Hindu raga with sitar, a tango with bandoneon by Piazzolla, a duet with Tibetan flute, a Dan-Son with tropical percussions, a blues for six cellos, and many other sound universes. In this musical journey, I lived with many of the characters who share my world as an interpreter. Nevertheless, my goal has been to disap- pear in order to let the music speak, leaving, however, a minimal personal mark along the way: the texture of the sound, the tempo of a sigh, a slight trace of the soul. This musical adventure led me to put forth all the traditional and con- temporary virtuosity of cello playing in works as complex as Ech� and Digital, while at the same being thrown into the fascinating world of improvisation in Raga Jop and Mountain Song. An additional challenge was the synchronization of all voices, reaching it's extreme with nine cellos in Dan-Son. The challenge was not only the rhythmic coordination, but also and above all, the unity of musical intention, in order to make the music flow in the atmosphere of freedom in which it loves to dwell. Finally I must thank the dear friends who have enriched this recording with their talent: Gabriela Ortiz, Cesar Olgu�n, SidarthaSiliceo, Nawang Kechog, Ricardo Gallardo, Alfredo Bringas. Alejandro Cardona, Miguel del Aguila, EnricoChapela, Javier Alvarez, Javier Montiel, and Enrique Mendoza. And of course to my dear daughter Alina, whose solar presence has illuminated my life and my dear son Daniel, without whom this recording would not exist. In addition to collaborating with his musical talent and his impressive technical knowledge, Daniel has been my partner and accomplice in this whole project. This album is dedicated to Marielena Arizpe, my muse, wife and partner, with whom I have had the privilege of sharing this life journey.

With Maris Sirmais, the choir is fortunate to work with an extraordinary choral director. The expressivity of his conducting places both the singers and the audience under his spell. In his experienced hands, the acoustics of the ancient, legendary Eberbach Monastery are transformed into a faithful ally and magician's assistant. I am sure that after hearing this CD you will share my joy and enthusiasm as well." (Rodion Shchedrin) With his Russian Liturgy, "The Sealed Angel", Rodion Shchedrin has written a work of inner contemplation of timeless relevance, which will deeply move every listener who approaches the piece with an open heart. Live recording of the concert on 17 July 2009 during the Rheingau Musik Festival in the great basilica of the Eberbach Monastery.
