"Each volume of our Jascha Spivakovsky series, "From Bach to Bloch" (and yes, we'll get to Bloch eventually!) adds another dimension to the slender but growing catalogue of Jascha's recordings, and this sixth outing is no exception. For the first time we find him playing works by the two Franz's, Schubert and Liszt - an Impromptu and a Hungarian Rhapsody respectively.

Elsewhere there are substantial works by J. S. Bach - the Italian Concerto -  Mozart and Schubert - a piano sonata each - and two shorter works from Chopin.

The Spivakovsky legend continues to build with each release and we're sure this one will do nothing but add to his growing reputation. Despite never recording commercially this collection of broadcast and private recordings offers a vital window on one of the great pianists of the twentieth century.

This remarkable release of music starring the unsurpassed talent of Joan Sutherland combines the classic and the rare in a 2CD album release. The classic is her 1959 recording with Peter Pears and Sir Adrian Boult of Handel's opera Acis and Galatea, in a superb new stereo XR remastering by Andrew Rose.

"Joan Sutherland is a perfect Galatea ... Her singing of "Hush the pretty warbling choir" and "As when the dove" puts her on a pedestal of classic elegance" - The Gramophone

It's one of the classics of the recorded catalogue, with Sutherland's interpretation never bettered.

Also included are two recitals where La Stupenda is joined by husband Richard Bonynge at the keyboard - piano and harpsichord - for a series of songs and arias drawn largely from the later baroque and classical eras. Once again her performances are exquisite in these rare recordings, a number of which may be getting their first outing in this release.
