"Dass die Aufnahmen der beiden Klarinettenquintette Webers und Neukomms schon 14 Jahre alt sind, merkt man der Mehrkanalfassung nicht an: mit üppigem Raumklang und großer Präsenz genießt man die erlesene Kunst Erich Hoeprichs und der drei Streicher des Ensembles Les Adieux, das ihm schon seit Jahren zur Seite steht. Mit vehementem Zugriff und inniger Wärme schlägt Webers Klarinettenquintett in seinen Bann, in allen seinen Stimmen auf Originalinstrumenten fein ausgearbeitet, wobei Hoeprichs Klarinette zu recht mit betörendem Klang dominiert…"

"…Im Klang…," the composition originally written for accordion, makes its recorded debut here in two versions. They are separated by "Klavierstuck '87," performed by the truly gifted Marianne Schroeder. The reason for the two performances is a mechanical one: When Stiebler was going over the score with Teodoro Anzellotti, Anzellotti noted that the accordion (though certainly capable of playing everything) was not capable of making all of it audible – hence the work for organ as well…

The Extremist is the fourth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on July 21, 1992 through Relativity Records The album is one of Satriani's most popular releases and his highest-charting to date, reaching No. 22 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and remaining on that chart for 28 weeks, as well as reaching the top 50 in six other countries. Three singles reached Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart: "Summer Song" at No. 5, "Friends" at No. 12 and "Cryin'" at No. 24. The Extremist was certified Gold on December 22, 1992 and received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1993 Grammy Awards; this being Satriani's fourth such nomination.

Christoph Eschenbach conducts this generous survey of the sumptuous, hyper-Romantic music of Austrian composer Franz Schreker. Not only was he the pre-eminent opera composer of his generation, he also, says Eschenbach, “took Mahler’s symphonic writing to a whole new level”. The album includes the ecstatic “Nachtstück” from Der ferne Klang, the exquisite Chamber Symphony and some ravishing orchestral songs, featuring Chen Reiss and Matthias Goerne.
