Schubert: String Quartet No.14 in D minor, D.810 I Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony, Op.110A (CD)
„A quartet for string orchestra! This will sound strange to you. I already know all objections that will be raised: the destruction of intimacy, of individuality. But this would be mistaken. What I intend is nothing but an ideal representation of the quartet.“ (Gustav Mahler, 1899)

Sergei Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 in E minor, op. 27 I The Rock, Symphonic Poem op. 7 by Academic Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Philharmonia / Alexander Dmitriev (CD)
Made in Germany“. Maybe it sounds strange at first glance to headline a symphony of the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov like this. However, if one looks closer to the genesis of his Second Symphony there is some good reason for it since he wrote it during his stay in Dresden.

Edvard Grieg: From Holberg’s Time, op. 40 I Two Nordic Melodies for String Orchestra, op.63 I Two Melodies for String Orchestra, op. 53 I Two Lyric Pieces for String Orchestra, op. 68 I Two Elegiac Melodies, op.34 by Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra / Saulius Sondeckis (CD)
In this wholeness the album contains a rarely compiled collection of smaller masterpieces Edvard Grieg had composed for string orchestra. It is not a coincidence though that most of the pieces are transformations of initially different formats. Edvard Grieg was famous as a pianist and as a composer for the piano during his life. His studies at the Leipzig Conservatory with teachers such as Ignaz Moscheles and Carl Reinecke, who both were renowned as virtuoso players all over Europe, had shaped this part of his artistry. So many of his works were originally composed for the keyboard instrument which seemed to be the appropriate means of communicating the Nordic folk music idiom, which Grieg transferred perfectly well into art music.

Works For Choir by ARVO PÄRT (CD)
CUGATE CLASSICS proudly presents: “Works For Choir” by ARVO PÄRT, one of the most important and influential composers of our time. Remastered by HELMUT ERLER at D&M Berlin and available as 180gr LP, CD and DL. ARVO PÄRT (born 1935 in Paide, Estonia) doesn’t need to be introduced to anyone who has the slightest interest in classical music, and his audience reaches far beyond the xxx circles of symphony halls. After first serialistic compositions, “Credo” (1968) was a turning point in PÄRT’s life and work, being the first piece carrying a religious title and expressing a creative crisis that PÄRT answered by lesser compositions and studying medieval and Renaissance music in search for a new musical language.
