Weakened by a series of chronic illnesses and aware of his impending death, Shostakovich looks back on his life in Symphony No.15 inA major, op.141. The work opens with cheerful reminiscences from his youth, featuring quotations from his early works and allusions to Rossini. But already by the second movement, a funeral march rich with self-quotation, the mood changes. In the cantabile movement which follows, one hears the murmuring ghosts of the past. With echoes of Richard Wagner, the eerie finale ultimately instructs the listener to remain fearful through its crumbling tonality. This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15 symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been newly computer typeset, and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with scores in “The New Collected Works of DmitriShostakovichâ€.

Commissioned by Leopold-Mozart-Kuratorium Augsburg e.V. as partner of the Augsburg University in cooperation with the Mozartbüro of the City of Augsburg “Anthologies were important during Leopold Mozart's lifetime. All knowledge was to be collected and made available, and Mozart's 'Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule' (A Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing) is also to be regarded in this context. My 'Florilegium' (the Latin word for 'Anthology' – 'Blossom Collection') follows this tradition. I thus collected more or less loose 'blossoms': individual turns of phrase and gestures from Leopold Mozart's Violin Treatise, as well as from books that include the extended techniques of violin playing in use today. I attempted to organize this 'blossom collection' – in a double sense of word – during the course of the compositional process and to transfer them into my own language. Ultimately the idea was to create an album piece that would allow the sound of the violin to blossom in its various facets ... including prickly thorns!†(Johannes X. Schachtner).

Sofia Gubaidulina took Christian Morgenstern’s collection of poems “Gallow Songs†as the starting point for her own song cycle. Gubaidulina adapted 15 of Morgenstern’s seemingly childlike, formally simple poems, which are full of linguistic playfulness, for mezzo-soprano, double bass and percussion. In her settings, the composer subtly explores the ambiguities of Morgenstern’s poems and transforms their grotesque imagery into unique miniatures of sound. 14 of these songs are also available in a version for mezzo-soprano, flute, double bass, bayan and percussion.
