Karol Szymanowski - Songs with Orchestra (Polish State Philharmonic Orchestra (Katowice) & Karol Stryja)
Classical | EAC: FLAC+Cue+Log | 1 Cd, Cover+Booklet | 330 Mb
Label: Naxos - Date: 1989

In the Song of the Fairy-Tale Princess, on feels that Szymanowski must have known Stravinsky’s Le Rossignal. On Naxos, both the Song of the Infatuated Muezzin and the Love Songs of Hafiz are sung by a tenor (Ryszard Minkiewicz) with impressive insight, but the 1989 recording is resonant and does not flatter him. Jadwiga Gadulanka is hardly less impressive in the extraordinary Songs of the fairy-tale princess and Barbara Zagórzanka sings the famous Chant de Roxane beautifully, and both she and Anna Malewicz-Madej in the Kasprowicz songs are very well balanced.

Szymanowski, Karol (1882-1937); Stravinsky, Igor (1882-1971) - Works for String Quartet
Classical | EAC: FLAC+Cue+Log | 1 Cd, Cover+Booklet | 274 Mb
Label: Naxos - Date: 2000

Even within the comparatively limited medium of the string quartet, Szymanowski creates characteristically rich and exotic texture in these original and tautly constructed works. They were written ten years apart in 1917 and 1927, demonstrating the way his style was developing ever more personally over that period. Occasionally echoing Debussy and Ravel, they make a pointful contrast with Stravinsky’s characteristically cryptic essays in the genre, sharp and often brittle. The Golden Quartet prove understanding, refined interpreters of both composers, playing with rapt intensity in the hushed slow movements of the Szymanowski works. Excellent sound.

Lennox and Michael Berkeley: Berkeley Edition Vol 5 (Howard Shelley piano, BBC NO of Wales - Richard Hickox)
Classical | EAC: FLAC+Cue+Log | 1 Cd, Cover+Booklet | 313 Mb
Label: Chandos - Date: 2004

Lennox Berkeley wrote his Piano Concerto in B flat major in 1947–48 for his loyal interpreter Colin Horsley, who gave the first performance in the Royal Albert Hall in London. The solo part combines a good deal of bravura writing, including several passages of double octaves, with simple, lyrical melodies, sometimes over a Chopin-like arpeggio accompaniment and sometimes played by the two hands in octaves.
A convert to Roman Catholicism in his mid-twenties, Berkeley composed a good deal of music for worship, as well as several concert works on sacred or devotional texts. Among the best known of the latter is .......

Isaac Albeniz - Piano Music (Complete), Vol. 2 (Baselga)
Classical | EAC: FLAC+Cue+Log | 1 Cd, Cover+Booklet | 248 Mb
Label: BIS - Date: 1999

Miguel Baselga’s on-going traversal of the piano music by Isaac Albéniz has shown that there is much more to the composer than the four books of Iberia usually regarded as his crowning achievement. The present disc largely concentrates on the early production, including Marcha Militar, the very first piece that Albéniz is known to have composed, at the age of nine. The Six Mazurkas de salon and L’Automne-Valse Baselga also gives us a taste of the salon-type music that Albéniz often included in his own recital programs during the 1880s and 1890s. The Mazurkas were written for, and named after, six of Albéniz’ piano pupils, all daughters of important upper class families in Madrid... - CD Compact.
