Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent- Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland BWV 61 Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent Bach began two of his cantatas with Martin Luther`s Advent hymn ' Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland ' a German version of the early church hymn 'Veni redemptor gentium'. One of the most gripping solo parts (following the pattern recitative – aria – recitative – aria) is the bass recitative on the words of the Revelation with its highly expressive declamation of the vocal line and the naive graphicness of the pounding string accompaniment. Equally captivating is the following soprano aria which 'opens its heart' upon the Saviour's 'knocking' in amelody full of the cheerful tidings of Advent. The cantata ends brilliantly with a lovely figurative chorale movement enhanced by the interplay of a lively bustling Violin part which ultimately soars upward to breathtaking heights.

Klezmer music originated in the ‘shtetl’ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe where itinerant Jewish troubadours known as ‘klezmorim’ had performed at celebrations particularly weddings since the early Middle Ages. Since the 16th century lyrics had been added to klezmer music due to the ‘badkhn’ (the master of ceremony at weddings) to the ‘Purimshpil’ (the play of Esther at Purim) and to traditions of the Yiddish theatre but the term gradually became synonymous with instrumental music particularly featuring the violin and clarinet. In recent years it has again become very popular and in A Klezmer Karnival Philip Sparke has used three contrastingtraditional tunes to form a suite that will bring a true karnival atmosphere to any concert.

Edward Elgar composed Salut d’Amour as an engagement present for Caroline Alice Roberts. The original title was Liebesgruß - an indication of the fluent German of the composer's fiancé. Due to the relatively humble sales of the work with this title it was decided to change it to a French name. A wise decision given that nowadays this melody is among the best-known of all time.

Schumann’s great C-major Fantasy op. 17 was originally intended to be published as a “Sonata for Beethoven” entitled “Ruins Trophies Palms. Grand Sonata.“ Although he eventually abandoned this plan he maintained the Fantasy’s mighty design. Writing to his fiancée Clara Wieck in March 1838 he called the first movement “perhaps the most impassioned music I have ever written.” Accordingly it marks a point of culmination in his piano music forming an exemplary combination of passion delicacy and virtuosity – a demanding highly romantic work for ambitious pianists! Our volume presents a thorough revision of the musical text as well as an informative preface and text-criticalcommentary.
