STUNNING 2000 RADIO BROADCAST IN SUPPORT OF PAUL SIMON S YOU RE THE ONE ALBUM The late 1990s were a difficult time for Paul Simon. His stage-play The Capeman - written with poet and playwright Derek Walcott - which Simon had been working on for most of the decade, opened on broadway in 1998, was panned by critics and it ran for less than 70 performances before closing.

Melodious and charming, The Cunning Little Vixen is a work rooted in Czech history and folk music; a sentimental journey through the cycles of life. For Sir Simon Rattle, it's a deeply personal and emotional work. "It's the piece that made me want to become an opera conductor… and still one of the pieces that reduces me to tears more easily than any other," says the LSO's Music Director. Recorded with an outstanding cast during semi-staged performances, this recording is the second in an LSO Live series showcasing acclaimed collaborations between Rattle and the celebrated stage director Peter Sellars. Towering fanfares open Janácek's Sinfonietta, an ode to the composer's hometown of Brno in the now Czech Republic. It's a portrait composed for a national celebration of Slavic culture, with Janácek's love of musical tradition evident in dancing strings and celebratory brass.

Early demos point up Paul Simon's excellent acoustic guitar fingerpicking and emerging songwriting.

The duo's strongest work is all here, and the addition of several B-sides makes this a helpful collection to have around. (Amazon)

Korngold’s greatest critical successes lay in the field of opera and in his film scores. The early sets of incidental music reflect these two elements, sharing the theatrical bravura of opera and anticipating his own later filmic techniques. The music for the Viennese production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in 1920, heard here in full, is expressive and dramatic. Der Vampir, a psychological study of desire, seduction and greed, is rarely heard, but remains a potent example of Korngold’s instinct for directness of characterisation.

Stravinsky sent shockwaves through classical music in the 20th century. His first three ballets -The Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring, all composed between 1909 and 1913 - brought a new and frenzied sense of rhythm, so distressing to audiences that it caused uproar; The Rite of Spring even caused a riot.

Les trois premiers ballets composés par Stravinski à l’orée du XXe siècle ont bouleversé les habitudes d’écoute et fait souffler un vent puissamment original sur la musique occidentale. C’est aussi un vent nouveau qui a ramené Sir Simon Rattle à Londres après ses prestigieuses années berlinoises.

The original version of Simon Boccanegra, first performed in 1857, is a masterpiece of concision and vocal delivery, with many important differences from the later 1881 version, including one of Verdi’s most innovative central finales. Sir Mark Elder leads a star cast including Eri Nakimura as Amelia, Iván Ayón-Rivas as her lover Gabriele, William Thomas as Fiesco and the young Argentinian baritone Germán Enrique Alcántara in the title role.
