Glory and Splendor of the age of Royal Baroque music is celebrated in this album by the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volker Hartung.
George Frederic Handel’s „Music for the Royal Fireworks“ is a work of gigantic proportions
It was composed in 1748 for a fireworks display inspired by political events. The British King George II wanted a huge celebration with great fireworks and music on occasion of the Aachen peace treaty in October 1748.
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. Conductor Volker Hartung takes his violin as soloist in this passionate reading ofJ.S. Bach's Violin Concerto no.1 in A minor.
Johann Pachelbel’s famous Canon, the „Air“ from Bachs 3rd Overture Orchestra as well as a highly virtuoso performance of the „Badinerie“ by flutist Michael Schubert are concluding this beautiful album.

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!

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.

On this 2-Set-Album you are listening to recordings of German Film and Light Music from the Thirties to the Fifties of the last century. The magic word of the jazz music at the time was SWING. This music found its way into the sound tracks of the first 'Talkies' and Shows since 1929 in Berlin. Most scores of these songs had been lost since WW II and could only be recovered by great efforts. After more than 80 years, this music is now again performed with its original arrangements and delights the ear of the listener with its amazing melodiousness and the magic of sound.
