7 47313 45077 0
Albert Hermann Dietrich is best known through his association with the Schumanns and his friendship with Brahms, but as this recording shows, his contribution to this circle’s artistic activities went further than promoting their works as music director at the small grand-ducal court of Oldenburg. The Symphony in D minor has a strong kinship with Brahms and was one of the most frequently performed new symphonies of its day, while the originality and variety of orchestral colour in the Violin Concerto are impressive enough to have earned it a place in the concert repertory. Key Feature: Celebrated for his clarity, precision and elegant approach, Christoph König is in high demand as a guest conductor all over the world. His extensive discography includes releases on Hyperion, Chandos and SEL Classics, and his recordings of Brahms’ piano concertos with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra were praised in BBC Music Magazine .

7 47313 91657 3
LGT Young Soloists • Alexander Gilman † WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING
Gustav Mahler arranged Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 ‘Death and the Maiden’ by expanding it into a grand orchestral spectacle. It reveals his admiration for Schubert and serves to intensify the quartet’s journey through life, death and human resilience in this fusion of two great composers’ musical visions. Airat Ichmouratov’s Concerto Grosso No. 3 is subtitled ‘Liechtenstein’ and draws on the country’s breath- taking scenery and music in an expressive and virtuoso orchestral exploration. It was composed specifically for Alexander Gilman and the LGT Young Soloists, one of the most successful touring youth orchestras throughout the world. Key Feature:

Zoltán KODÁLY (1882–1967) Organ Works DOHNÁNYI • NOVÁK • SOKOLA • WIEDERMANN Iain Quinn, Organ
INCLUDES A WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING
7 47313 45447 1
This album brings together Kodály’s complete organ music with the world premiere recording of Ernő Dohnányi’s only piece for organ, the eloquent Fantasie . Sokola’s intense and compelling Passacaglia holds a special place in the organ repertoire, Wiedermann’s Pastorale dorico was composed during the dark days of the Second World War, and Novák’s attractive Prelude is a study in subdued tonal contrasts. Zoltán Kodály’s organ works have a distinct musical language unlike any other composer, with the imposing Organoedia ad missam lectam being amongst his most important non-choral works from the post-war era, and Epigrams , originally for voice and piano, heard here in a transcription by Gábor Trajtler. Key Feature: Organist Iain Quinn is a native of Wales, but trained in the US at The Juilliard School, the University of Hartford and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, returning to the UK in 2009 as a Doctoral Fellow at the University of Durham (PhD historical musicology). He has held church appointments in New York, Georgia and Connecticut, and from 2005 to 2010 served as director of cathedral music and organist at the Cathedral of St. John (Episcopal), Albuquerque, New Mexico.
