Cherubini owes his fame as a church composer primarily to the 'Requiem in C minor? of 1817. It was held in extraordinarily high esteem by such composers as Beethoven and Schumann and served as a model for early 19th-century Requiem settings. Dispensing entirely with solo voices, it captivates with its rigorous formal concentration and its restrained use of musical resources in both choir and orche…

Inspired by the verse of the German romantic poets, Franz Schubert achieved glittering fame as a creator of the 19th-century lied long before public recognition of his symphonies assured his place in music. In 10 years, Schubert composed over 600 lieder, whose charming melodies, harmonic invention, and depth of emotion rank them at the top of the form. This volume offers 59 favourite songs from th…

Par CHYRZYNSKI MARCEL. In 2017, after my monographic concert organised by the Polish Music Center in Los Angeles, I hired a car and drove to Las Vegas. However, I didn’t take the interstate highway, the quickest and most used road, but followed an acquaintance’s advice and headed up the picturesque old route through the Mojave Desert formed partly by the famous Route 66.

Always fascinated with the music of Andalucia, Albeniz composed numerous small but beautifully performed portraits of his native Spain. These brightly colored piano pictures of his native land are sufficient r…

Ein Oratorium Nach Worten Des Alten Testaments. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Nur ein Jahr vor seinem Tod erzielte Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy mit seinem Oratorium 'Elias' einen Erfolg, der ihn bis heute zu einem der beliebtesten Oratorienkomponisten gemacht hat. Von packender Dramatik und gleichzeitig von einer Innigkeit des Gottvertrauens, wie sie zu Mendelssohns Lebzeiten durchaus nicht mehr…

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE / BUSSER. Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) is best known for his Carnival of the Animals and Organ Symphony. Yet, his Fantasy in E flat major arranged for Cornet or Trumpet and Piano remains popular in the advanced repertoire for the instruments.
