Down by the Salley Gardens

Down by the Salley Gardens album cover
Format: CD & Digital download
Label: Harmonia Mundi
Release date: September 2011
Catalogue no: HMC902093

In addition to The Horseman, the first of Berkeley's Five Songs (Walter de la Mare), this programme offers a vivid and varied cross-section of English song, ranging from the Edwardian aesthetic of Quilter and early Vaughan Williams to the intensely expressive style of Howells and Finzi. The Purcell realisations by Britten and Tippett, meanwhile, are products of two great 20th-century composers engaging with their musical heritage. In all these different styles, Bejun Mehta shows the same verbal and vocal mastery that won such acclaim for his debut Handel recital on harmonica mundi. (Synopsis by harmonica mundi)

Performed by Julius Drake (piano) & Bejun Mehta (counter-tenor)

The Art of Julian Bream

The Art of Julian Bream album cover
Format: CD
Label: él Records
Release date: June 2011
Catalogue no: acmem211cd

Julian Bream is recognised as one of the world's leading guitarists, some would say the greatest. He is certainly Britain's senior ambassador as a guitarist and lutenist, having toured more widely and more frequently than any other artist in the international arena. He has done incomparable work in the recording studio to establish both the guitar and lute as concert instruments. Not content with his unique status as a performer, Bream is actively concerned with new music - having commissioned works from leading contemporary composers, Henze, Walton, Maxwell Davies, Rawsthorne, Tippett and Britten and those featured here by Malcolm Arnold and by Lennox Berkeley. At the end of the fifties he secured a contract with RCA and from thereon his records sold like hot cakes to a worldwide audience. His 1959-60 recordings, made at the dawn of an illustrious career, are the centrepiece of this edition. (synopsis by él Records)

The Young Julian Bream

The Young Julian Bream album cover
Format: CD & Digital download
Label: Dynamic
Release date: February 2011
Catalogue no: IDI6608

This disc features one of the greatest and distinguished contemporary classical guitarists: Julian Bream. It seems extraordinary that the discography of his youth has been only partially re-mastered on CD. In fact, this is true to such a point that many of his very famous performances are still difficult to find today, such as the Lennox Berkeley Sonatina recorded in 1960. The disc also features Bach's fantastic 'Ciaccona' recorded in 1956, when Bream was just 21 years old, together with a selection of other works recorded in 1960, that are currently very difficult to find. Among them is the famous transcription of Ravel's 'Pavane pour une infante défunte'. (Synopsis by Dynamic Records)

Performed by Julian Bream (guitar)
