Classics for Orchestra

Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Tenor

A l?occasion de l?Année Mozart, (qui ne commence bien sûr que le 1er janvier 2006, mais on n?est jamais trop à l?heure pour les grands événements !), Brilliant Classics propose son intégrale Mozart présentée en un seul coffret de 170 CD, augmentée d?un CDR d?ailleurs pas si indispensable, contenant tous les livrets en anglais pour ceux qui savent le lire. Peu importe d?ailleurs : un bon livre sur Mozart ne coûte pas très cher, mais en revanche à ce prix et même à n?importe quel prix, impossible de trouver une semblable aventure discographique et une pareille expérience. Brilliant Classics offre non seulement tout Mozart, mais aussi tout Mozart dans un florilège d?interprétations non seulement toujours excellentes, caractérisées, le plus souvent remarquables, mais aussi qui se hissent plus d?une fois aux sommets de la discographie. Ce n?est donc pas là une intégrale au rabais : c?est une intégrale intelligente, composée avec habileté par Pieter Van Winckel, le Directeur Artistique de Brilliant Classics, qui connaît son affaire. Goût musical et connaissance de la discographie ont été ici mis au service d?un projet magnifique, qui rend un bel hommage à l?un des plus grands génies musicaux de tous les temps. Van Winckel a agi avec les labels indépendants de la même manière que Philips en son temps pour réaliser « son » intégrale Mozart : en licenciant ce qui lui paraissait digne de l?être dans l?existant, et le cas échéant en réalisant de nouveaux enregistrements. Du point de vue esthétique, voilà une intégrale qui est de facture récente. Il n?y a pas de nanards stylistiques. Car là où Philips avait somme toute assez peu ré-enregistré, Brilliant Classics n?a pas hésité, par exemple, à réaliser une superbe intégrale des symphonies sur instruments d?époque (dirigée par Jaap ter Linden), plusieurs enregistrements des opéras de jeunesse, l?intégrale des Sonates de Mozart par Klara Würtz qui est carrément sensationnelle. Brilliant a licencié chez Telarc les beaux opéras que Charles Mackerras y avait réalisé avec le Scottish Chamber Orchestra, chez Accent certaines réalisations de Kuijken, chez Ricercare les Cambreling? Les labels Claves, Nimbus, Bis, Berlin Classics, CRD, Hungaroton ont collaboré. Les airs de concerts sont pour la plupart des enregistrements originaux. L?intégrale de la musique sacrée a été, elle aussi, spécialement enregistrée : Nicol Matt en est l?artisan ? souvenons-nous de sa magnifique intégrale des ?uvres chorales de Mendelssohn.

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Clara Wieck's sincerest wish was that her future husband, Robert Schumann, turn his extraordinary genius toward the larger and more challenging task of composing orchestral music. Confiding in her diary in 1839, just one year before her marriage, she explained that ; it would be best if he composed for Orchestra: his imagination cannot find sufficient scope in the Piano… In the years that followed their marriage Robert Schumann continued to devote much of his attention to Piano music, but he also found the time to comply with his beloved Clara's wish by creating a number of musical pieces composed specifically for Piano andOrchestra. Although Schumann 's genius is most in evidence in his masterful solo Piano compositions and superb lieder, his lively and provocative imagination manifests itself with equal aplomb in the works composed for Piano and Orchestra. The same compelling romantic and lyrical qualities that captivate lovers of Schumann 's Piano music are evident in these compositions. Three of his finest are presented here in full score, including the A Minor Piano Concerto, one of the most popular and frequently performed concertos ever written. All demonstrate his remarkably innovative approach to music, diverting substantially from the classic models of the day, and display his immense creativity as well as his warmth and sensitivity. Included in this collection of Schumann 's compositions for Piano and Orchestra are: Piano Concerto In A minor, Op. 54 (published 1846) Concertstuck, Op. 92 (Introduction and Allegro appassionato; published 1852) Introduction and Allegro, Op. 134 (published 1855) These three works by one of the greatest masters of romanticism will delight musicians, music lovers and students, as well as devotees of Schumann. Pianists will be especially pleased to have these appealing Schumann works in one convenient edition available at / Date parution : 2019-12-12/ Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre
