German Baroque Trumpet Concertos BIBER • FASCH • HANDEL • REINHART • SCHICKHARDT • STÖLZEL • TELEMANN Thomas Reiner, Trumpet • Interpreti Veneziani Baroque works for oboe have long been fertile ground for transcription to the trumpet and there are several examples here of this refashioning. The sequence of concertos and sonatas include examples from Handel’s Italian years, and from Johann Gottfried Stölzel, who was strongly influenced by Vivaldi. Telemann’s marvellously inventive Concerto in D major is performed on the modern flugelhorn. In addition, there is the only known surviving work from Johann Michael Fasch, younger brother of the more famous Johann Friedrich. Key Feature: Thomas Reiner ’s brilliant and light tone in the high register predestines him for the performance of particularly exposed trumpet parts. Of his 2007 Naxos recording (8.570501), MusicWeb International commented: ‘Reiner clearly has a fine command of his instrument… The results are eminently listenable.’ In 2011 Reiner was honoured to be invited by the International Trumpet Guild as the only German trumpet player to the conference in Minneapolis to perform in front of professional audiences from all over the world.

Classic Meets Movie Shaken Not Stirred Anna Scheps, Piano
From the late Romanticism of the music from Pearl Harbour to the delicacy and refinement of The Girl with the Pearl Earring , Anna Scheps brings the full resources of the piano to bear on some of the most beautiful and rousing film scores of the last half century. Her arrangements for piano exude eloquent virtuosity and Lisztian rhapsodic lyricism as well as razor-sharp dynamism in the case of Mission: Impossible . She also includes the evocative sound world of Isaac Albéniz and the sparkling elegance of Scarlatti sonatas to create an album of ambitious bravura and poetry. Key Feature: With this programme, Anna Scheps takes us on a very intensive journey through fantastic worlds of fiction. We can sense how everything is connected in film music. We hear Romantic, Classical, and even Baroque sounds. The arrangements were written specifically for the pianist – as demanding as possible, dense, fast moving and highly artistic.

La Femme Journey of Female Composers Flaka Goranci, Mezzo-soprano • World Chamber Orchestra
Through much of history the language of women has been told through men, but La Femme turns this narrative upside down. All of these composers share an unrelenting will to be artistic, often in opposition to the societies in which they found themselves. From the very earliest medieval verses by Kassia via the blind virtuoso Maria von Paradis’ famed Sicilienne and holocaust victim Ilse Weber’s moving Wiegala , to powerful modern statements by the likes of Niloufar Nourbakhsh and Flaka Goranci’s own contribution, The Speech of Love – this entire project is dedicated to all creative women in music. Key Features: • Mezzo soprano Flaka Goranci can already look back on an extensive career on the international opera stage. This project ‘La Femme’ brings together female composers from Middle Easter, Balkan and Western countries. • Goranci is a recipient of the Hildegard Zadek Scholarship. She made her debut at the age of 22, as Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia at the National Opera Tirana, Albania. Other roles included Cherubino, Dido, Dorabella, Die Mutter, Bojana. Her Lied repertoire includes works by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, Berio and others.
