This new release is the eleventh volume in Centaurs Steven Staryk Retrospective collection. Steven Staryk is one of the greatest violinists that has ever lived. Here he presents a masterful program of caprices, etudes, and studies by composers such as Paganini, Wieniawski, Schubert, Locatelli, and more. This is an amazing guide to the playing and interpretation of the great solo violin literature. The first recording of its kind ever to appear, (1963). Still the only existing recording of its kind. (2014). This is truly an album that cant be missed, whether the listener is a violin virtuoso, a violin amateur, or a violin appreciator.

Celebrating the work of Benjamin Britten, this album combines three of the composer’s enduringly popular, yet vastly distinctive works. Sir Simon Rattle leads us on an unexpected journey through this diverse collection of masterpieces.
Written shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Sinfonia da Requiem meditates in part on the political populism which had, for the second time in just a few decades, plunged the world in to an existential crisis. In this piece, Britten’s rich, yearning harmonies reveal a sombre and dramatic warning of the cost of conflict.From the darkness of war, we move towards the light with Britten’s choral Spring Symphony. With its mysterious reimagining of traditional English folk song and verse, the work depicts the gradual reawakening of the natural world when winter ebbs away, and spring begins to triumph.Britten let his imagination catch fire in The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. This brilliantly original showpiece is one of the composer’s best-known pieces, and draws the album to a close.
