WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING
Franz von SUPPÉ (1819–1895) Die Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen (‘Around the World in 80 Days’) Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra • Dario Salvi
Franz von Suppé became famous all over the world for the easy brilliance of his operetta melodies. He also achieved great success with theatrical stage music, including this version of Jules Verne’s adventure novel Around the World in 80 Days . Verne’s interest in science and new discoveries reflects the optimism of the late 19th century, and Suppé’s music is a perfect reflection of the light and dark in the narrative, evocatively tracking Phileas Fogg’s enterprising and at time dangerous voyage, and taking in the exotic orient and Gold Rush America along the way. Key Feature: Franz von Suppé’s music is best remembered today in numerous operetta overtures, but what is less well known is that he composed a great deal of music for the stage, his facility for vivid description in music making his work prized in 19th-century Viennese theatrical circles.

Edward ELGAR (1857–1934) Complete Organ Works Organ Sonatas • Vesper Voluntaries • Nimrod Tom Winpenny, Organ
The organ was a formative part of Edward Elgar’s musical upbringing, and for a time he was organist at St George’s Catholic Church in Worcester. The symphonic scale and distinctive themes of the First Sonata contrast with the more liturgical atmosphere of the Vesper Voluntaries , while the rousing Second Sonata is an arrangement of Elgar’s Severn Suite for brass. This album comprises Elgar’s original works for organ as well as the complete arrangements made by the composer himself and those made by four distinguished contemporary organists. Key Feature: Edward Elgar is probably best known for the ‘Enigma’ Variations and the Pomp and Circumstance Military Marches , both of which are represented in arrangements not always included on recordings of Elgar’s complete organ works.
