Niels W. Gade who occasionally substituted for Felix Mendelssohn as conductor of the Gewandhaus Concerts in Leipzig is today considered the most important Danish composer. In his “Spring Flowers” op. 2b “Aquarelles” op. 19 and “New Aquarelles” op. 57 he created supple pleasing piano pieces in an intimate style suitable for domestic music-making. Nevertheless these character pieces are of moderate difficulty. They fascinate with their powerful originality deeply sensitive expressive power and pianistic ingenuity. For pianists who want to look beyond the established romantic piano music repertoire engaging with this edition will prove worthwhile. The informativepreface has been written by Danish pianist Bengt Johnsson who has recorded Gade’s complete piano works.

Songs without words-When Mendelssohn learned from his publisher Nikolaus Simrock that he was to receive an additional honorarium for a part of his “Lieder ohne Worte” he effusively thanked him for this gift. However the gift that Mendelssohn in his turn made to posterity with these Songs Without Words could probably not have been foreseen even by him at the time. These “Original Melodies” “Romanzen” or “Clavierstücke” which only later gained the title “Lieder ohne Worte” enjoyed great success during the composer’s lifetime and should be included amongst the most rewarding pieces of 19th-century piano literature. Our volume contains the complete “Lieder ohne Worte” published during hislifetime and posthumously.

The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word ‘ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning – Gramophone Magazine. The internationally-renowned British vocal ensemble VOCES8 is proud toinspire people through music and share the joy of singing. The celebration of diverse musical expression is central to the ensemble’s ethos and this is shown in their versatile concert programmes and innovative educational work. Description: The‘VOCES8 singles’ series includes songs for which the group is particularly well known in choral arrangements produced specifically for VOCES8. The composer’s poem is based on the early 15thCentury Middle English carol ‘This Endris Night’ that iscast as a discourse between Mary and the infant Jesus where her lament alternates with his responses on what the future holds. In the arrangement the sacred meaning is combined with the secular tradition of Ember Days so that it is not clearwhether the poem is religious or secular nor if the poet is expressing personal belief or musing on the passing of the year. The composition worked so wonderfully with the themes of the VOCES8 album ‘Equinox’.
