Sir Neville Marriner leads his Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in a blockbuster recording of eight of Franz von Suppé's exciting overtures. From the more famous ones, such as Light Cavalry and Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna, to lesser known works, this CD is full of unforgettable melodies and suberb playing.
AAM Records’ newest release features the Academy of Ancient Music joining forces with The Choir of Keble College and director Matthew Martin in a landmark recording of Francisco Vall’s ‘forgotten’ Missa Regalis [1740]. Performed from a new edition by Simon Heighes, Valls’ fascinating (and frequently confusticating) juxtaposition of ancient and ‘modern’ compositional styles provides a intriguing glimpse into the treasure-trove of Spanish baroque music, much of which remains relatively unknown to the wider world.
