Complete Edition (New)
Johann Sebastian Bach's stature as a composer of extraordinary talent and widespread influence is so firmly established in Western culture that it is difficult to believe that only 150 years ago his works lay in veritable obscurity, unknown to all but a small group of scholars. It is largely thanks to ohn, who essentially effected a revival of the composer's music through his rediscovery and promulgation of the St Matthew Passion, besides other pieces, that his works are today regarded as pinnacles of music expression. That they are among the most performed and widely attended is in no doubt, in Holland alone, thousands of singers and musicians are involved in dozens of performances of the St Matthew Passion in Holy Week, with hundreds of thousands listening in churches and concert halls, or gathered around the radio, to what has been described as 'the Gospel according to Bach'.Bringing together all of his works, this dynamic 142-CD set offers a resounding impression of this great spirit of our Western culture, presenting dynamic performances - many period-based, many acclaimed by the international press - that are divided according to genre, thus making for a highly user-friendly compendium. The set draws on all periods of his career, tracing the development of a style that was much influenced by contemporary and past fashions but which was always adapted to Bach's own purpose, often far surpassing the models on which he drew. The German composer travelled a great deal from city to city, and the different circumstances of his various positions are reflected in the great range of works comprising his output: while his early years are dominated by much keyboard music, on account of the numerous organist posts he held during this period, later positions at various courts accorded him more personal and artistic freedom - in Cöthen, for example, Prince Leopold's passion for music-making and his renowned resident orchestra resulted in a string of unforgettable works including the Brandenburg Concertos, the Solo Cello Suites and the Well-Tempered Clavier Part 1, beside many others.Bach was a master of all genres, whether sacred, secular, instrumental or vocal, and his oeuvre is a rich mixture of severe Baroque craftsmanship and expressive Romanticism. Thomas Zehetmair, Kristof Baráti, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, René Jacobs, Peter Schreier and Lucia Popp are just a handful of the first-class performers and ensembles gracing this set. At the bargain price of EUR100, it is a collection not to be passed up.Other information:- 142 CDs representing the entirety of Johann Sebastian Bach's oeuvre in historically informed performances.

Violin Sonatas From Unpublished Manuscripts
Francesco Maria Veracini (1690-1768) was one of the foremost violinists of his time, and he appears to have led a rather adventurous life, travelling a great deal, surviving a fall from the second floor of a house, and then losing all that he owned in a shipwreck! All this has made for a great deal of literature on the composer, and here we have the opportunity to become acquainted with a number of his violin sonatas which remained unpublished during his lifetime, including hitherto unrecorded repertoire.Guiding artist Valerio Losito's approach to these works is the implementation of his tripartite scheme to know, to understand and to interpret. In the case of works such as the Sonata for Solo Violin in A major, brilliant in style and clearly an original composition, this proves essential, as the issue surrounding the middle movement's division into two staves, violin and basso, is explained when we realise that the melody and accompaniment can both by effected on the violin. Veracini's style is virtuosic, as one would expect, and his handling of harmony and structure is highly individual. Also included on the compilation are three canons, two from the composer's treatise Il trionfo della pratica musica (composed around 1765 as his 'Opera Terza' but never published) and one from the Sonate Accademiche of 1744, in the guise of a poetic couplet that seems to sum up the composer's own life experience. A handful of engaging Preludes, for either harpsichord or violin, complete the collection.Violinist Valerio Losito offers a highly stylised, character-laden performance, drawing attention through the implementation of his scheme to what is for him the most important aspect of music: its 'human nature' - in other words its original message - one which connects our time with that of Veracini, rendering the composer immortal. He is joined on the recording by early music expert and harpsichordist Federico Del Sordo.Other information:- Francesco Veracini (1690-1768) was a famous violinist in his time, a travelling virtuoso and composer of several treatises on composition and violin technique.- Veracini's style is rich, dramatic and highly personal, expressing his life philosophy in his music, as is explained in the booklet text by violinist Valerio Losito, who studied unpublished manuscripts, trying to understand and interpret the fascinating annotations.- Beautiful and committed performances by these two Italians Early Music specialists, Valerio Losito and cembalist Federico Del Sordo, who wrote the extensive liner notes.- Release features a world premiere recording and several first commercial recordings.- Booklet features notes on the music, a list of manuscript sources and artist biographies.- Shop: odax
