Vladimir Ziva - Symphony 5 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Although the horn has some obstacles to overcome, [...] nature seems to have intended it by and large for singing; moreover, the horn player can draw the best lessons from the school of a good singer. There he learns the art of good phrasing and proper breathing; there he purifies his taste, shapes his style, and ultimately discovers all he needs to know to capture the listener's attention, move him, and - on many occasions - stir his enthusiasm. (JosephÉmile Meifred Méthode pour le Cor chromatique ou à pistons, Paris 1840) Solo horn player in the Danish Royal orchestra Claudio Flückiger is here presenting what is the art of playing the horn. He is accompanied by pianist Galya Kolarova.

The artistic credo of the renowned Canadian organ duo (and husband and wife) Sylvie Poirier and Philip Crozier is manifested in their exclusive commitment to interpretations of original works, supplemented by commissions from composers who have done concerted work with the performance possibilities and compositional demands of four-hand and four-foot organ performance. The present organ CD offers two works by Albrechtsberger and Wesley from the first half of the nineteenth century and works by contemporary composers with whom the performers work closely.
