Philippe Katerinetotal à L'ouest

Considering that he was the first of the great Italian madrigalists, Philippe Verdelot's music is still much less well-known than it deserves. The simple expressiveness and sensitive but restrained text-setting of these earliest examples of the form are a world away from the highly charged emotion and dramatic word-painting of more familiar later madrigals, but their unaffected charm should be as appealing to modern listeners as it was to those of Verdelot's contemporaries, who revered him as the best composer since Josquin des Prez. The attractiveness of this disc is further increased by the wise decision to use a variety of scoring rather than treating all the madrigals as four-part vocal pieces. A few judiciously chosen ones are performed in this way, but more than half are most effectively presented as lute-song, stylishly sung by Catherine King and Charles Daniels with beautifully shaped phrasing and admirably clear words. Others are played in contemporary versions for solo lute.

Classical Cult potential. Since the days of Glenn Gould there has probably been no piano recording so highly charged with individualism, so radically performed, and so consistently conceived.

„Beethoven is the alpha and omega of the symphonic repertoire: a repertoire crucial to any orchestra’s quality. However my orchestra at the Paris Opera had never played the Beethoven symphonies before.“ (Philippe Jordan) This Edition contains all Beethoven Symphonies with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Opéra national de Paris conducted by Philippe Jordan. A brand new production filmed in the highest quality known on the market today made by the creators oft he successful Shostakovich cycle. Philippe Jordan presents a young but traditionalist interpretation in the spirit of historical performance practice, setting a new course in Beethoven interpretation. Includes a documentary film „Philippe Jordan – Born to Conduct“ by Reiner E. Moritz. Reiner E. Moritz sketches his astonishing career and in his film uses exciting excerpts of his most important conducting performances, allowing Jordan to recount not only his childhood memories, but also his own career.

Unissued live by Barney Wilen and Philippe Petit. While waiting for 'La Note Bleue'… it is in July 1986, in Montpellier, France, that Barney Wilen, the legendary French saxophonist, and Philippe Petit, a virtuoso too seldom heard on the jazz scene, occurred for a concert in duet. Extremely rare experiment in jazz, this guitare/saxophone live recording proceeds in the wire of a collaboration which started between the two musicians since 1984. Essential.
