Robert Schumann: Scenes From Childhood (Kinderszenen) Op.15

The thirteen pieces that constitute Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen for piano (Scenes from Childhood) Op.15 (1838) showcase their creator's musical imagination at the peak of its poetic clarity. unlike a number of Schumann's collections of piano character pieces (e.g. Album for the Young Op.68), the Kinderszenen are not intended to be played by children. Schumann claimed that the picturesque titles attached to the pieces were added as an afterthought in order to provide subtle suggestions to the player, a model Debussy followed decades later in his Preludes.

Twice As Nice: Piano Duets Volume 2

The tradition of piano duet recitals began during the eighteenth century. It was highlighted in concerts throughout Europe by Mozart and his sister, Nannerl. Most of the great composers of the Classic and Romantic eras contributed to the four-hand repertoire. In the nineteenth century when the vogue of this particularly intimate art reached its peak, such musicians as Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Clara Schumann were outstanding participants, both as composers and performers. Piano duet recitals were heard less often during the first half of this century, but in recent years there has been a strong revival of interest in four-hand performances.

Mills Brothers: Chronological Vol. 4

Volume Four in this chronological series of Mills Brothers recordings consists of 24 tunes recorded while The Mills Brothers - the most famous American vocal group ever - were at the peak of their international popularity.

It was during this period - in February 1936- that John Mills, Jr. died and was replaced by his father, John Mills, Senior. A very special feature of this collection is the inclusion of two vocals by Ella Fitzgerald and six by Louis Armstrong (also playing trumpet), with The Mills Brothers contributing only the "instrumental? accompaniment.

Don Byas: Featuring Sir Charles Thompson

Live 1967 quartet session from Switzerland. The concert consists of ten classic jazz standards, played in the be-bop/mainstream jazz style to a clearly appreciative audience. They are all tunes which Byas and Thompson played when they worked together on various occasions during the 40?s and 50?s. Both Don Byas and Sir Charles Thompson worked with Coleman Hawkins early in their musical careers, and went on to be important proponents of the revolutionary be-bop style. Their style and ideas were wonderfully compatible, as can be heard in this relaxed reunion from 1967. While late in his career, Byas was at the peak of his powers. Some of the absolute best ballad-playing of Byas? career can be heard here on Loverman, Gone With The Wind and Tenderly.

Hey Everybody It's Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five

The repertoire features many Louis Jordan original compositions. Louis Jordan was tremendously popular in the U.S. at the time of these recordings and all through the 50?s. During the period when these recordings were made, he was at the peak of his musicianship, showmanship and popularity. Louis Jordan combined showmanship and musicianship; he was a marvelous instrumentalist and vocalist, radiating plenty of musical energy on stage, and he could be very funny. Included on this CD are some of his most popular tunes, like for instance "Five Guys Named Moe". The style of the music is mostly up-tempo swing jazz and rhythm & blues, with plenty of humor.

Edward Gregson: Welcome (Upper Voices/Piano)

Welcome is a work composed by Edward Gregson , arranged for Upper Voices and Piano. It was originally composed for boys' voices, Organ, Brass and Percussion in 1996, but ten years later Gregson created a new version especially for the Kinder Children's Choir of the High Peak. This latter version appears here, and lasts around 4 minutes. The text of Welcome consists of the word 'Welcome', repeated numerous times in a variety of languages , from English to various European languages, to Hebrew and Arabic. Gregson 's idea was to provide a fitting way to welcome a new and diverse audience into a new concert hall designed for a new Millennium. The voices are divided into as many as six parts in certain places, but it's left to the conductor to decide on how to distribute these parts, depending on the size and make-up of the choir. The work is suitable for performance by any mixture of upper voices, from children's choirs to female voices.

Charlie Parker In Sweden

The 14 tunes (73 min.) on this CD were recorded on the 20th & 22nd of November, 1950, in Hälsingborg and Malmö, Sweden, and besides some standard melodies, the CD includes several Parker original be-bop classics. The music here represents all that was recorded with Charlie Parker on this visit to Sweden, which was his second ? and last ? trip to Europe. In spite of the less-than-perfect sound quality, these private recordings catch Charlie Parker ? the greatest modern jazz musician of all time ? at the peak of his powers: he was obviously in a good mood, playing clear, singing lines and in total control of the saxophone. The CD is comprised of two concerts, plus a jam session, and all the time Parker is accompanied by basically the same competent Swedish rhythm section, led by the famous trumpeter Rolf Ericson. Neither the Swedish fans nor the musicians who played with Parker during his one-week visit were ever the same afterwards, and you won?t be, either, after hearing this CD.

Duke Ellington: New York New York

New CD from Storyville "New York, New York" ? with 19 new titles by the undisputed master of jazz, Duke Ellington. High class studio recordings, musically and technically as good as anything issued during his life time. 13 titles never before issued in any form, plus 6 new versions of favorites like I Got It Bad and Mood Indigo and lesser known pieces like Second Line and New York, New York, all recorded 1970 ? 1972, with the great soloists in the band performing at peak level. During his lifetime Duke Ellington incessantly wrote new music and played it with his band at concerts, dance dates, etc. There was so much music, that the record companies could not consume it all. Duke therefore started to record the new music at his own expense for the so-called "stockpile", from which these performances are taken. This is the fifth in the series of CDs issued by Storyville, starting in 2001 with The Toga Brava Suite, and followed by The Duke In Munich, The Jaywalker, and The Piano Player. Duke Ellington once said, when asked which of his music he prefers: "The next one". Here you have 19 brand new "next ones" in splendid sound and performance by Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra.
