Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Villarkorn / Sinfonia 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 is a jubilee year for the Paderewski Center in Kasna Dolna, which gives great reason to this album. InchReminiscencjeInch is the story of the institution's three decades of activity, told by the outstanding Polish artists associated with it. Almost all of the musicians on the album toured in Kasna many times, becoming an integral part of the flagship festivals. Piotr Plawner, Mariusz Patyra, Tomasz Strahl, Robert Morawski and Klaudiusz Baran are not only excellent instrumentalists, but also friends of the Paderewski Center who have always responded with kindness and approval to it's artistic ideas - even the breakneck ones. InchReminiscencesInch is a sentimental journey. As photographs are stuck to a traditional album, here we upload songs that, like musical events, bring back memories and emotions. It's music that plays in our souls. And we want to share this music, because that is what Kasna Dolna sounds like. Album Tracks 1. Melodia Op. 8 nr. 3 2. Pezzo capriccioso Op. 62 3.

SOMM Recordings is thrilled to announce the first on disc of the only known live recording of Sir Thomas Beecham conducting Sibelius's Symphony No.1 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to mark the orchestra's 75th anniversary. The RPO was founded in 1946 by Beecham to inject new energy and new ideas into British orchestral life. Taken from the 1952 Edinburgh International Festival, the First Symphony heard here, says Beecham biographer John Lucas in his booklet foreword, is Incha spine-tingling performanceInch. Three months earlier Beecham had completed his exacting studio recording of the First and comparisons between the two are fascinating. Also being released for the first time are previously unissued live recordings from 1947 of two of the composer's Scènes historiques, and an interview by documentary maker Jon Tolansky with two RPO stalwarts (Sub-principal Viola John Underwood and the late Sub-Principal Second Violin Raymond Ovens) who share their memories of playing for Beecham. Both performances feature the RPO's fêted Inchroyal familyInch of wind players - Gerald Jackson (flute), Terence MacDonagh (oboe), Jack Brymer (clarinet) and Gwydion Brooke (bassoon) - with luminaries Dennis Brain leading the horns, Richard ('Bob') Walton as first trumpet, and Principal Percussionist Lewis Pocock. The album has been curated by Tolansky, the original founder of the Music Performance Research Centre. The archive was created in 1987 to preserve the heritage of public performances which included among it's collection the Sibelius First Symphony. In 2001 the archive was renamed Music Preserved and transferred to the Borthwick Institute at the University of York. The Symphony, together with Tolansky's other discovery, Scènes historiques have been brilliantly restored by acclaimed engineer Lani Spahr. Album Tracks 1. Symphony No.1 in E minor, Op.39 2.
