Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. This six-verse hymn is based on the melody “Herzlich tut mich verlangen, ” which Buxtehude used both for the solo cantata Herzlich tut mich verlangen BuxWV 42 and for a chorale prelude entitled Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder BuxWV 178. Apart from the “Amen, ” with coloratura decoration, the text is set in a simple four-part texture. The accompanying violins are used in the pre…

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Dating from the Autumn of 1828, Schubert's 10th Symphony is arguably the composer's final creative endeavour. Using Schubert's extensive piano sketches - substantially complete for movements two and three, and containing the principle material for the movement - the renowned Schubert scholar, Brian Newbould, has realised the work as Schubert himself might have done. The editor'…

In the past two decades tango has experienced a popular resurgence worldwide.

The bagatelle was written between 1808 and 1810. It was first published in 1867 by the Beethoven scholar Ludwig Nohl who still had access to Beethoven’s autograph. What has survived, however, is an exte…

Par PART ARVO. The Berlin Mass is intended to be sung liturgically during Pentecost, and includes the Veni Sancte Spiritus specific to that service. The gently unfolding repetition deliberately avoids dramatic and pictorial elements, exuding quiet dignity and a profound sense of joy. The vocal scores have almost no interpretive markings.

Par CHOPIN FREDERIC. Chopin Berceuse for Piano Op.57 Chopin's ?Berceuse? is one of his most frequently performed works and was regarded by subsequent composers as the prototype of the instrumental lullaby.
