Stacey Gibbs is known for his fine arrangements of spirituals. What a treat to hear his artistry at work on a classic hymn like Softly and Tenderly. There's a middle section he has created when you can feel his Gospel roots influencing the line and it is marvelous. Probably more for concert than church due to difficulty level but it will caress you at either venue.

Italian/English. Gluck's 'Orfeo et Euridice' was one of three operas composed by Gluck in an attempt to reform the Italian opera seria. The libretto is noble and grand and this must have inspired Gluck for his approach to the score is alsomonumental as well as orchestral in nature. The opera opens after the death of Euridice to a funereal choral tableau which is pierced by the cries of the anguished Orfeo. Huge dramatic choruses of shades and furiescontrast starkly with the solo recitatives and arias of Orfeo as he searches for Euridice. The third act is particularly beautiful as Gluck and Calzabigi turn the shade of Euridice into a complex lover and wife unwilling tofollow her husband blindly out of Hades even though she has been called back to life. Her arguments and pleadings her passion and confusion create the torment in Orfeo that results in her being sent back to hell. Thisis the Schirmer edition of the Libretto in the original Italian with an English translation by Walter Ducloux.

Gypsy Airs op. 20 for Violin and Piano-Following Paganini’s death numerous musicians strove to assume his position as the “devil’s violinist” but none of them were able to do so as convincingly as the Spaniard Pablo de Sarasate. His unique violin technique enthralled the public right from the start. So it was no surprise that Sarasate composed highly virtuosic pieces for his own use. Composed in 1877 the “Gypsy Airs” are in the form of a broadly conceived Hungarian Csárdás exhibiting all of the refinement of breakneck violin playing. They still present a challenge to all great violinists. We were able to win over a modernday sorcerer of the violin for our Urtext edition: Ingolf Turban who provided fingerings andbowings.

In Western Europe and soon thereafter in America Peter Tchaikovsky became perhaps the best-known most fêted of all Russian composers. In his extensive piano oeuvre he provided a significant contribution to the sophisticated salon music of the Romantic period. The sweetly wistful “Chanson triste” from the “Twelve Pieces of Moderate Difficulty” op. 40 from 1878 is of such cantabile character that it could be described as a song without words. As the most popular and most important piece from op. 40 it is presented here in a separate edition. With its very moderate level of difficulty the piece is suitable for use in lessons already at an early stage.

Piano Sonata no. 27 in e minor op. 90-“It is aside from two passages one of Beethoven’s easiest- but as far as the performance of individual passages and its whole spirit is concerned requires every kind of care” thus wrote a contemporary critic. And it is for this reason that Beethoven’s Sonata op. 90 is extremely popular today both with piano students and also with professional pianists. It provides enough challenges: for example the notorious tenth figures in the left hand and – in the words of a contemporary – “uniqueness striking twists and turns and an unfamiliar yet no less stringent composition”. Murray Perahia’s remarks and fingerings provide assistance in all of these areas from a very practisedhand. “It is aside from two passages one of Beethoven’s easiest; but as far as the performance of individual passages and its whole spirit is concerned requires every kind of care” thus wrote a contemporary critic.

All the same it merits special attention as it was written at the same time as the Violin Sonatas and has the same superior qualities of musicianship.
