NEW ALBUM RELEASED:
DANCE and SWING MUSIC of the "ROARING TWENTIES"

The Cologne New Philharmonic and Volker Hartung invite you on a journey back in time to the 'Golden Twenties' and their ingenious swing music from Broadway to Berlin.
They immersed themselves in the playing style and sound aesthetics of the time and play in a unique playing style the best hits of the swing era from the original arrangements.

Some songs are so deeply rooted in the attitude to life of a region that one can rightly call them "Hits. " For New York and the American attitude to life, Broadway and its films, its shows, and theaters were and are a synonym of national cultural identity. Names of composers such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, and their melodies were omnipresent in New York, just as the film in Babelsberg in Berlin developed a unique cultural flowering. Talented film composers such as Friedrich Holländer became famous overnight through 'The Blue Angel.' The famous hit 'Falling in Love Again' and the legs of the beautiful Marlene Dietrich enchanted Berlin and the whole world.
Listen to the great film and dance tunes of the ‚Roaring Twenties' on a musical walk from Broadway to Berlin with the inspiring sound of the Cologne New Philharmonic under direction of Volker Hartung.
Have much fun!

Sergej RACHMANINOFF: Piano Concerto No.1 & Orchestral Works
As the last of romantic symphonic composers Rachmaninoff represents a bridge between 19th century romanticism and modern times avangarde. His fabulous orchestrations generate lush sonorities and grandeur, and a style of overwhelming expression that fascinates the listener to this day. His 2nd piano concerto is a musical psychogram, as the young composer describes the healing of a profound mental depression.
This album contains three magnificent works by Russian composer Sergej Rachmaninoff.
Volker Hartung and fabulous pianist
Stanislav Soloviev gave a brilliant performance of Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto. They recorded in St. Petersburg with her great Philharmonic Orchestra. Back in Germany Hartung recorded the composer's own arrangement of „Vocalise for Orchestra“ with the Cologne New Philharmonic. He arranged Romance and Scherzo of the superb 1st string quartet for string orchestra, which the 17-year Rachmaninoff wrote as a student in 1890.

Since its re-discovery in 1949, The Four Seasons by Vivaldi have been recorded many times and are one of the most frequently played classical works. Therefore we were always reluctant to add another to the very many already published CD’s.
However, many of our loyal listeners asked us for our own version. We gladly obliged and since we have with Davide Toso an excellent musician from Vivaldi's Venetian home within our illustrious ranks, who has this specific musical language in his blood, we believe to add a strong personal and exciting interpretation to the general Vivaldi choir of recordings.

In 1926 the musicologist Alberto Gentili discovered a wealth of unpublis­hed and previously unknown original manuscripts by Vivaldi in a convent in Alessandria, Italy. All of the newly discovered works, together with all the other works of Vivaldi's unpublished in his lifetime have been catalogued by Peter Ryom and bear an "R" number.
Among these are the three 'Piccolo Concertos' heard on this recording- the only known works Vivaldi composed for his smallest and most agile mem­ber of the orchestra family. The dates of composition cannot be established with certainty.

The instrument which Vivaldi knew, the sopranino recorder, bears impor­tant differences to the modern Boehm piccolo:
The recorder is inserted bet­ween the lips and played vertically, the piccolo rests on the lower lip and is played transversely; the recorder had simple holes where the piccolo has silver keys and a modern scale allowing all chromatic possibilities.
The instrument played by Mr. Schubert in this recording was crafted from grenadilla wood (body) and sterling silver (mechanism) by Philipp Hammig, Markneukirchen, East Germany, in 1990.

A note on this performance: Volker Hartung and the Cologne New Philharmonic revel in the progress achieved in instrumental craftmanship over the last centuries and per­form with all the vigor and vitality modern instruments allow, as in the words of the great english composer Ralph Vaughn Williams, who once wrote:
'It is well known, that Bach and Vivaldi were dissatisfied with their orchestra's resources and were often obliged to put up, with what they could get. I believe, it is our privilege and our duty, to use all the improved mechanisms invented by our instrument makers to do full justice to their immortal works.

This Album celebrates the Magic of the Spanish South set to mesmerizing Music by Maurice Ravel, Georges Bizet and Manuel de Falla. De Falla' s wonderful impressions 'Nights in the Gardens of Spain' for piano and orchestra evoke the feelings of the composer when he visited the Arabian Palaces in Andalusia, in Granada and Cordoba. Italian pianist Filippo Faes gives a delightful and most sensitive performance.
De Fallas ballet score 'El amor brujo (Love, the Magician)', sang by the great mezzo-soprano Dora Brockmann is distinctively Andalusian in character with the songs in the Andalusian Spanish dialect of the Gypsies.
The music contains moments of remarkable beauty and originality.

The Carmen Suites are two suites of orchestral music drawn from the music of Georges Bizet's 1875 famous opera 'Carmen'. This recording provides a selection of the best pieces from both suites. Bolero, is Ravel's most famous musical composition and was originally written as a ballet score, but is now usually played as a concert piece. The composition was a sensational success when it was premiered at the Paris Opéra in 1928 and has become world-famous since then. This album contains the slowest, yet powerful rendition of this work on record by Volker Hartung and his Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra.

Maurice Ravel's Bolero, Georges Bizet's Carmen Suite, Manuel de Falla's Ballet 'El amor brujo' and his piano concerto 'Nights in the Gardens of Spain ' - these late romantic masterworks are presented here in a fabulous recording by Volker Hartung and his Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra. Italian pianist Filippo Faes gives one of the greatest readings on record of de Falla's impressions of Andalusia.

A great album not to be missed - remastered in 24bit/ 48khz and presented in fantastic sound.

Mastered in 24bit/48khz

Ludwig van Beethoven was perhaps the first self-certain individual in modern times and his work the musical embodiment and fulfilment of political revolution. Beethoven began his composing career with the creation of chamber works. His Septet Op 20 in E flat Major op. 20 for Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon, Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass was an instant great success in Vienna of 1799 and became one of the most popular works of Beethoven, witnessed numerous editions soon as well as arrangements for different instruments by the composer himself.
Conductor Volker Hartung thought to get a better dynamic balance between the strong wind instruments and the few strings in expanding this section. He uses the full string section of the orchestra, without changing the composition. On this album Maestro Hartung and the musicians from the Saint Petersburg Academic Philharmonic Orchestra are performing with 10 Violins, 5 Violas, 5 Celli and 3 Double Basses for their new recording of Beethoven's masterpiece with the advantages of modern high-end sound recording technologies in 24bit/48kHz HD-Audio.

During a journey to Prague Beethoven wrote four pieces for Mandolin and Piano for Comtesse Josephine von Clary-Aldringen, a well-known singer and mandolin player.
Miltos Mumulides, principal Clarinetist of the Cologne New Philharmonic, arranged the present version for clarinet and string orchestra. It keeps closely to the original and is written in the original key. The elegant work is a shining little jewel, full of humor, with deep emotions in the minor variation ideally suited for the register of the clarinet and brilliantly performed soloist and orchestra!

The splendid and delightful Harp Concerto in B major is an original work by Handel and one of his most beautiful works, brilliantly performed by great German harpist Konstanze Jarczyk.

The Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Hartung are celebrating the genius of Gioachino Rossini, the most celebrated Opera Composer of all times.
His music sounds as Champagne sparkles!
Besides overtures to his famous operas Barber of Seville, The Italian in Alger, La Cenerentola and William Tell, this album contains instrumental works from his earliest days: Rossini wrote his sonatas for strings when he was just 12 years old. On this album Serbian flute virtuoso Dejan Gavric performs one of these joyful pieces together with the fabulous strings of the Cologne New Philharmonic.
With 18 years Rossini composed „Variations for Clarinet and small orchestra“. This work sounds like a coloratura aria for the clarinet and gives the soloist great opportunity to prove his virtuosic talents, as Greek clarinetist Miltos Mumulides shows brilliantly!

On a beautiful day, amid elegantly dressed bystanders, Johannes Brahms is waiting at Vienna’s Northwest-Railway Station for the Steam Train to leave on a journey to Berlin, Leipzig or Hanover, where he will give concerts with some of his works. One would love to be among the crowd, just to feel the flair of these great times…
Since its world premiere in Vienna on December 30, 1877, with Hans Richter conducting, the Second Symphony has become one of Brahms´ most popular works, a bright and buoyant piece, full of sunshine and good cheer.
Listen to Volker Hartung and his Cologne New Philharmonic’s brilliant performance of this masterpiece recorded at Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Germany.
The String Sextet No. 1 in B flat major was composed in 1860 by Johannes Brahms and premiered in Hanover by an ensemble led by his friend Joseph Joachim. The sextet is scored for two violins, two violas, and two cellos. The Chamber ensemble of the Cologne New Philharmonic, including Volker Hartung at the Viola performed this work at the great acoustics of Cologne’s 11th-century Romanesque church St. Mary's in the Capitol.
Here is the beautiful recording!

Mozart’s outstanding quality of expressing the finest emotions in a generally understandable manner through his unique musical language make him the most popular composer of all time.
In his last work, the unfinished Requiem, he created a final, overwhelmingly beautiful masterpiece - his own funeral mass, the composition during which he died in December 1791.
“The most important aspect of his music is not in the notes”, wrote Gustav Mahler.
Volker Hartung and his musicians are presenting a masterful and highly dramatic reading of the work, which you can listen to and download in High Definitiv Audio on all media platforms.

Frederic Chopin composed his wonderful E minor Piano Concerto in Paris, when he was 20 years old. For the first performance he was accompanied by a string quartet, before orchestrating it for grand orchestra and piano. On this album Slovenian pianist Natasha Majer and conductor Volker Hartung recreate this original version using a string orchestra setting consisting of players by the Cologne New Philharmonic.

The result is a beautifully balanced sound in a fascinating interpretation, recorded in the great acoustics of Hamburg’s Laeisz
Concert Hall in Germany.

Everybody knows Charlie Chaplin as the greatest comedian and director of the cinema.It might be less known, that he composed his film music himself and even conducted it in the studio. But in his youth, Chaplin played the cello, and he was an excellent musician.
Presented here is the adorable music to his masterpiece »Modern Times«, his silent film comedy from 1936, in which the film genius satirizes the excesses of the industrial age - and for the first time - raises his voice in the famous 'Titina nonsense song'.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein Volker Hartung is presenting his recording of the New-York Musical »West Side Story«. The show was inspired by William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet and plays in a downtown Manhattan setting. In 1961 Bernstein prepared a suite from it, titled „Symphonic Dances from West Side Story“. This suite is one of the most dazzling showpieces in the entire symphonic repertory.

Also included in this album celebrating the magic of New York are works of George Gershwin:
His masterpieces of Symphonic Jazz: „Rhapsody in Blue“ for piano and orchestra from 1924 and »An American in Paris«. Italian pianist Filippo Faes gives an admirable example of his great art, accompanied by Volker Hartung conducting his Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra.
Gershwin himself wrote about his works: „I understand it as a sort of musical kaleidoscope of this fast-paced melting pot called America, as our Blues, our crazy city New-York“

Italian pianist Filippo Faes presents a lyrical interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s piano concert. Instead of the usual bravura showpiece style of the First Concerto the soloist and Volker Hartung honor Tchaikovsky as lyricist and perform this work based on the way this masterpiece was apparently performed in his lifetime. Together they favor a sweetly lyrical approach, more leisurely tempos, in an elegant, yet brilliant manner. Recorded in the lush acoustics of Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, they strive to maintain long phrasings at all costs, thereby bringing out the vocal and operatic qualities in Tchaikovsky’s music.

Joseph HAYDN (1732-1809)
The Seven Last Words of our Saviour on the Cross
Die Sieben letzte Worte des Erlösers am Kreuz
Les sept dernières paroles de Jesus Christ


The „Seven Last Words of Christ“ for string quartet was Joseph Haydn's own favorite work.
It is a monumental and mesmerizingly beautiful work.
Commissioned in 1786 for the Good Friday service at Oratorio de la Santa Cueva (Holy Cave Oratory) in Cádiz, Spain, the work is divided into seven main meditative sections— slow movements, which are framed by a slow Introduction and a fast "Earthquake" conclusion, for a total of nine movements. On this album, one listens to the original string orchestra version, which Haydn arranged before writing the score as an oratorio (with both solo and choral vocal forces).
The great Cologne New Philharmonic string players conducted by Volker Hartung were recorded in the sumptuous acoustics of Maria Laach Abbey in Germany.

Der Kauf des Albums beinhaltet ein umfangreiches Booklet zum kostenlosen Download

Ah the Belle Epoque! Musical sketches of a golden age of splendor from 1871 to 1914 are presented, a dreamed time characterized by optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity, cultural innovations and flourishing arts, a time of joie de vivre (joy of living) in contrast to 20th century hardships!
Musically, the Belle Époque was characterized by salon music.
This was not considered serious music but, rather, short pieces considered accessible to a general audience.
In addition to works for piano solo or violin and piano, the Belle Époque was famous for its large repertory of dances and songs. Tangos and Ragtimes came into vogue. Waltzes were popular and a culture of light-hearted, public entertainment could evolve particularly intensively and diversely during this period. That, above all, has given the epoch its brilliant name. On this album many Belle Époque composers are represented with their lovely music evoking Nostalgia for age of Glory and Splendor: Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Jules Massenet, Camille Saint-Saëns, Émile Waldteufel and many others.

At the end of the Second World War, Richard Strauss wrote one of the most heartbreaking compositions of the late Romantic period: his study for 23 solo strings titled "Metamorphosis."
The greatest German composer of his time called the work "Mourning for Munich" when he saw the terrible war devastation of his hometown in 1945. It is one of his best compositions, quasi his Requiem and the work of an extraordinary kind. On the occasion of his 70th death anniversary on 9th September we are releasing this recording played by the beautiful strings of the St.Petersburg Philharmonic under the direction of Volker Hartung.
As an introduction to his last opera, "Capriccio" Strauss wrote a string sextet, which presents the melodies of the work to the public. The delightful piece is played on this album by the full string orchestra. Besides, there are the two études for solo violin with motives of his opera "Daphne," which Strauss wrote for his 13-year-old grandson and violin student Christian in 1945, and which represent his legacy as one of his last works.

Gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs schrieb Richard Strauss eine der herzzerreißendsten Kompositionen der Spätromantik: seine Studie für 23 Solostreicher mit dem Titel "Metamorphosis".
Der grösste deutsche Komponist seiner Zeit nannte das Werk „Trauer um München“ als er die schrecklichen Kriegszerstörungen seiner Heimatstadt 1945 sah. Es ist eines seiner besten Kompositionen, quasi sein Requiem und ein Werk ganz besonderer Art. Anlässlich seines 70. Todestags am 9. September veröffentlichen wir diese Aufnahme mit den wunderbaren Streichern der St.Petersburger Philharmoniker.
Als Einleitung zu seiner letzten Oper „Capriccio“ schrieb Strauss ein Streichsextett, das die Melodien des Werkes dem Publikum vorstellt. Das entzückende Stück ist auf diesem Album vom vollen Streichorchester gespielt zu hören. Dazu die beiden Etüden für Solo-Violine, die Strauss aus Motiven seiner Oper „Daphne“ für seinen 13jährigen Enkel und Violinschüler Christian 1945 schrieb und die als eines seiner letzten Werke sein Vermächtnis darstellen.

Camille Saint-Saëns, born 1835 in Paris, died 1921 in the then French Algiers, was one of the most enchanting Composers of the romantic 19th century. Whoever knows his wonderful solo concerts for violin, cello and piano is enthusiastic about his melodic wealth and his ingenuity of gorgeous topics, which always remain in the memory.
This album is dedicated to his marvelous work with a collection of some of his greatest masterpieces- The „Carnival of Animals", his Cello Concerto in a minor, the Symphony in C major.
Young American violinist Elizabeth Basoff displays her great talent in the charming „Introduction and Rondo capriccioso“ for Violin and Orchestra.
Here, for once, we see a concert for cello in which the solo instrument shows all its record without the slightest difficulty in penetrating the orchestra. Many composers, including Shostakovich and Rachmaninoff, considered this concert the best of all. Fabulous Croatian Cellist Jadranka Gasparovic is featured in this great performance.
The Solo violin part in the powerful and magic „Danse Macabre" is beautifully played by Baptist Pawlik.

This Album is devoted to the works of Peter Tchaikovsky.
Oleg Poliansky’s incredibly passionate and brilliant performance of Peter Tchaikovsky’s 1st Piano Concerto in B flat minor. I think since Vladimir Horowitz’s time, there has not been a much better performance than this one.
Long live the Ukrainian piano technique and tradition!
Listen also to the Serenade for Strings performed by the marvelous string players of the Cologne New Philharmonic recorded at Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle.
Sergej Belesov was one of the most talented Russian cellists of his generation. On this recording, he plays the Nocturne for Cello and strings in d minor.
We regret his early demise and remember him with great nostalgia.

Dieses Album enthält Werke von
Peter Tschaikowsky
Hier ist Oleg Poliansky’s unglaublich leidenschaftliche und brillante Aufführung von Tschaikowsky’s erstem Klavierkonzert in b-Moll.
Seit Vladimir Horowitz’ Tagen gab es wohl keine viel bessere Leistung als diese.
Es lebe die ukrainische Klaviertechnik und -tradition!
Hören Sie auch die Serenade für Streichorchester, die von den wunderbaren Streichern der Jungen Philharmonie Köln in der Hamburger Laeiszhalle aufgeführt wurde.
Sergej Belesov war einer der talentiertesten russischen Cellisten seiner Generation. Auf dieser Aufnahme spielt er das Nocturne für Cello und Streicher in d-Moll.
Wir bedauern seinen frühen Tod und erinnern uns mit großer Wehmut an ihn.

BEETHOVEN: Fidelio Overture & Symphony No.3
In Memory of Ludwig van Beethoven's 250th birthday, the Cologne New Philharmonic, conducted by Volker Hartung, is presenting a new HD-audio recording of his most important work, combined with a brilliant reading of the overture to the opera „Fidelio." The French Revolution inspired Ludwig van Beethoven to write the greatest of all symphonies in 1804, which he titled "Bonaparte." One day he had to read that his political ideal, the French consul, had crowned himself emperor. - Immediately, when he got home, Beethoven tore the title page off his symphony, and made another one for it, which bore the inscription: "Sinfonia Eroica." The fact that Beethoven, despite his disappointment over the coronation of Napoleon as Emperor, left his symphony musically intact, is most plausibly interpreted by the fact that he still clung to Napoleon's ideals of the Revolution. The ideals of "Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood" he saw equally applying for Germany. But finally, he wanted to see it realized in the fight against Napoleon.

This album contains three of Mozart's greatest masterpieces, the late Symphonies No.38 (Prague Symphony), No.40 in G minor, and No.41 (Jupiter). The KV 550 Symphony is one of Mozart's best-known works.
In a report on the world premiere on April 8, 1805, in Vienna, it says: "The concert opened with the wonderful symphony in G minor, this immortal work of the great composer, which combines the most magnificent beauty with the greatest grandeur and drama. It is a colossal picture, but from the most beautiful conditions, which inspires awe and love at the same time. Robert Schumann speaks of "Greek floating grace". Mozart composed the symphony in D major KV 504 in 1786. The work is nicknamed "Prague Symphony".
She only has three movements, but Alfred Einstein believes that the minuet is missing because "everything has already been said" in the existing movements.
The symphony in C major, KV 551, with the final fugue, was composed in Vienna in the summer of 1788. It is Mozart's last symphony. Her epithet Jupiter Symphony first appeared in the early 19th century.
How pure and clear are all the pictures in it! Each has nothing more and nothing less than it is supposed to have by nature. Here Mozart is the master of the musical world and worlds, creator of absolute beauty, a symbol of uniformity and perfection.
The listener can only marvel at the beautiful lightness with which this immensely increased life energy penetrates him.
These are new recordings in HD audio, different from the album already available on the JPK Musik label, masterfully conducted by Volker Hartung with his brilliantly sounding Cologne New Philharmonic orchestra.

Dieses Album enthält drei von Mozarts grössten Meisterwerken, seine letzten Symphonien in g-Moll, D-Dur und C-Dur.
Die Sinfonie KV 550 gehört zu den bekanntesten Werken Mozarts.
In einem Bericht zur Uraufführung am 8. April 1805 in Wien heisst es: „Das Konzert eröffnete sich mit der herrliche Sinfonie in G moll, dieser unsterblichen Arbeit des grossen Komponisten, welche mit höchster Erhabenheit und Dramatik die grösste Schönheit verbindet. Es ist ein kolossales Bild, aber von den schönsten Verhältnissen; ein Jupiter der Phidias, der zugleich Ehrfurcht und Liebe einflösst.
Robert Schumann spricht von „griechisch schwebender Grazie“.
Die Sinfonie in D-Dur KV 504 komponierte Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart im Jahr 1786. Das Werk trägt den Beinamen „Prager Sinfonie“.
Sie hat nur drei Sätze, jedoch Alfred Einstein meint, dass das Menuett fehlt, weil in den bestehenden Sätzen bereits „alles gesagt“ sei.
Die Sinfonie C-Dur Köchelverzeichnis 551 komponierte Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart im Sommer 1788 in Wien. Es ist Mozarts letzte Sinfonie. Ihr Beiname Jupiter-Sinfonie taucht erstmals Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts auf.
„Die Sinfonie von Mozart mit der Schlussfuge, Wie rein und klar sind alle Bilder darin! Nicht mehr und nicht weniger hat jedes, als es seiner Natur nach haben soll.“
„Hier ist Mozart Gebieter über musikalische Welt und Welten, Schöpfer der absoluten Schönheit, Symbol von Gleichmaß und Vollendung.“
Er alle Schleusen des mehrfachen Kontrapunktes; in immer neuer Verschlingung schlagen die vertrauten Gedanken an das Ohr der Hörers, und er kann nur staunen über die wunderbare Leichtigkeit, mit der diese aufs höchste gesteigerte Lebensenergie auf ihn eindringt.“

On this album, Volker Hartung conducts his Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra and its soloists in beautiful highlights of 19th Century Serenade music. Josef Suk (1874 - 1935) was a Czech composer, Antonín Dvořák's son-in-law, and a well-known violinist. He began his oeuvre with chamber music and, in wonderful sounding Dvořák tradition, with a four-movement string serenade op. 6, Several sources report that the avowed railway enthusiast Dvořák had encouraged his then-future son-in-law Suk to write down locomotive numbers at train stations. Dvořák Suk is also said to have passed tests on his knowledge of locomotive engineering to get Dvorak's approval to marry his daughter! Jules Massenet gained notoriety through the violin solo "Meditation, "which is part of the oriental influenced opera "Thaïs. " This solo is considered a famous encore in concerts and is often part of classical editions on specific topics.
Alexander Borodin composed his Second Quartet in D Major in 1881 and dedicated it to his wife. The quartet was supposed to be a 20th-anniversary gift with a program evoking the couple's first meeting in Heidelberg. The third movement, called "Nocturne," became popular.
Rossini wrote his Serenades when he was only 12 years old. On this album, the Serbian flute virtuoso Dejan Gavric plays one of these happy pieces together with the fabulous string players of the Cologne New Philharmonic.
Offenbach composed "Les Larmes de Jacqueline" in 1846 as the second in a set of three pieces under the title "Les Harmonies des Bois" (Op.76). During this time, Offenbach was traveling throughout Europe, performing as a cello virtuoso. Often performing his music, «Les Larmes de Jacqueline» was most likely composed for himself and his daughter Jacqueline. Jadranka Gasparovic performs this lovely piece in this recording.
Dvorák's Carnival Overture served as a musical farewell to his beloved Prague and, at the same time, as a greeting for the composer from New York, where he took on the job of director of the National Conservatory of Music. The carnival overture is about a lonely, sensitive visitor who comes to a city at nightfall where the carnival is in full swing. Everywhere you can hear the sound of instruments and singing. One can feel the joyful mood increasing to unrestrained cheerfulness.

Peter Tchaikovsky composed his Fifth Symphony in the summer of 1888, and it was premiered in the autumn of the same year in St. Petersburg with Tchaikovsky as the conductor.
The dramatic theme of the work is the hardship and misery of ordinary people's lives in 19th century Russia. The composer described the introduction as "a complete surrender to fate, which is the same as the unfathomable predestination of life." The change of the theme in the symphony symbolizes the attainment of optimism, which has grown out of a life of misery and poverty. The story of the symphony is the story of life itself, with a positive outlook in the finale.
Recorded in the fabulous acoustics of the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, the Cologne New Philharmonic under the direction of Volker Hartung tell this story with its intense tonal means, with excellent temperament, enormous devotion, and high musicality.
Tchaikovsky was fascinated by the music of the Viennese classic era and owned all editions of Mozart's works, whose serenade style he paid homage to with the Serenade for Strings from 1880. It has become one of Tchaikovsky's most famous works and an excellent task for any ambitious string ensemble.
The fabulous Cologne New Philharmonic Strings conducted by Volker Hartung play the Serenade with excellent verve and intensity.

Peter TCHAIKOVSKY: BALLET SUITES & WALTZES
During the heyday of classical ballet in Saint Petersburg in the second half of the 19th century, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote ballet music for both, the Marijnsky Opera and the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre. The result is works that are now part of the repertoire of every classical ballet company, for example Swan Lake (1877), Sleeping Beauty (1890) and The Nutcracker (1892).
Tchaikovsky's SWAN LAKE was the first ballet score written by a symphonic composer.
Suites derived from ballet became very popular. There are different versions of these suites in which the order and the movements used vary.
This album also includes Tchaikovsky's „Swan Lake Suite", including the rarely played Russian dance.
The composer also made a selection of eight of the numbers from the ballet before the Decembre 1892 première, forming the NUTCRACKER SUITE, Op. 71a, which was intended for concert performance.
Volker Hartung conducts the Cologne New Philharmonic presenting Tchaikovsky´s suites as well as waltzes from his other works in thrilling performances, recorded in the gorgeous acoustics of Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle.

MUSSORGSKY: Khovantchina Overture & Pictures at an Exhibition
The focal piece of this album is Maurice Ravel’s congenial orchestral arrangement of Mussorgsky's famous suite 'Pictures at an exhibition', which has become one of the greatest showpieces for orchestra. You are listening to Volker Hartung conducting the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra - recorded at the great acoustics of Hamburg's 'Laeiszhalle' in gorgeous 24 bit/48khz HD Audio.

The curtain rises to Moscow's scenery on the Moskva River at dawn at the end of the 17th century, at the time of Peter the Great. Since Mussorgsky only left clues about the cast of his opera „Khovanshchina," after his death, his friend Rimsky-Korsakov decided to orchestrate them in his way. His orchestration, with its light woodwinds and light bass, its bell effects in the horns, is a beautiful example of romantic tone painting. Rimsky managed thus to save the opera from oblivion.
The piano suite “Pictures at an Exhibition”, arranged for orchestra by Maurice Ravel, has achieved world fame since 1922.
According to our reputed sound engineers, an excellent recording's success depends on 80% on the acoustic of the venue, where it was performed. On this album, one can listen to the phenomenal sound of two of the most magnificent European concert halls, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Laeiszhalle Hamburg.
Both venues inspired the Cologne New Philharmonic and his conductor Volker Hartung to give their best to the music of Russian impressionist composer Modest Mussorgsky.
