A varied programme of music from Bach to Franck and a newly recorded work by George Baker demonstrates the restored organ in all its glory played by Stephen Cleobury and recorded in high definition and 5.1 surround-sound. The accompanying booklet features some of the best images from the restoration project, a short history of the organ, and comprehensive music notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harrison \u0026amp; Harrison organ in King’s College Chapel is, like the College Choir, famous the world over. The organ case with gilded pipework, which surmounts the 16th century screen, is a striking feature of nearly every depiction of the interior of the Chapel, while the instantly recognisable sounds of the instrument have become inextricably associated with those of the Choir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 2016, the instrument – including its 4,300 pipes – was removed from King’s College Chapel for the most significant restoration since the 1960s.

The six Bach chorale preludes present six different registrations, and are placed on either side of the three substantial romantic works that allow for the full range of the organ to be heard. I am particularly pleased to include the contemporary works by Simon Preston and George Baker – the latter of which is recorded here for the first time.” – Stephen Cleobury\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    Alleluyas    Preston, Simon     05:19\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreludes from Das Clavierübung III    Bach, Johann Sebastian    \u003cbr\u003e2    Wir glauben all’ an einen Go (BWV 680)        03:33\u003cbr\u003e3    Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam (BWV 684)        04:35\u003cbr\u003e4    Kyrie, Go , heiliger Geist (BWV 671)        04:16\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrgan Sonata, Op. 65, No. 1 in F minor    Mendelssohn, Felix    \u003cbr\u003e5    I.

His award-winning Mendelssohn cycle on LSO Live showcases his period performance expertise, the musicians standing to play, highlighting their individual musicianship.

As Gardiner said when introducing the work in concert:‘It’s not every evening that you get to hear a symphony by a fourteen-and-a-half year-old genius and there’s an intriguing complication to this piece. When Mendelssohn came to London in 1829, he performed the symphony and he wrote back to his parents saying: “well, I looked over my symphony and, lord, the minuet bored me to tears! So what I did was to take the scherzo from my Octet and I added a few airy trumpets and it sounded lovely.” Well, actually he did an awful lot more than that; he re-orchestrated absolutely brilliantly. And it’s so good, we thought you should hear that version. But what about the minuet and trio? Why, when he came to publish the symphony did he use that version and leave out the scherzo? I happen to think they’re both really remarkable, as is the whole symphony, and perhaps you’d let us know which you prefer...?’The Fourth Symphony is inspired by the sights, sounds and atmosphere of Italy and is among the best loved of all the composer’s works. Mendelssohn described it as: ‘the jolliest piece I’ve written so far.’ John Eliot Gardiner says of the work: ‘Mendelssohn threw everything, in terms of virtuosity and risk-taking, at the Italian Symphony and it’s remained incredibly popular...\u003c\/footer\u003e\u003cfooter class=\"mt-4 font-secondary text-sm\"\u003e\u003c\/footer\u003e\u003cfooter class=\"mt-4 font-secondary text-sm\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymphony No. 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. I. Allegro di molto\u003cbr\u003e2.

The pieces featured on this release were recorded by the Orchestra at LSO St Luke’s under the baton of François-Xavier Roth, a conductor renowned for his interpretations of contemporary music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing on from The Panufnik Legacies, a release which presented works by composers from across the first five years of the Scheme, this recording showcases the works of selected composers from across the first ten years of the Scheme alongside Panufnik Variations, a project that brings together Colin Matthews and Panufnik Scheme graduates. Taking a theme from Sir Andrzej Panufnik’s Universal Prayer as a starting-point, the work features a series of variations showcasing the sounds and styles of Panufnik Scheme alumni Max de Wardener, Evis Sammoutis, Christopher Mayo, Toby Young, Elizabeth Winters, Larry Goves, Raymond Yiu, Anjula Semmens and Edmund Finnis, bookended by an opening and conclusion by Colin Matthews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso featured on this release are works by Kim B Ashton, Leo Chadburn, Bushra El-Turk, Matthew Kaner, James Moriarty, Elizabeth Ogonek, Aaron Parker, Alastair Putt and Duncan Ward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColin Matthews says of the Panufnik project, ‘A real relationship develops, which continues beyond the scheme itself, so that we feel that a ‘Panufnik family’ has been established…. What is remarkable to me is the unity that has emerged from this project : a tribute both to the inspiration provided by Andrzej Panufnik, and to the faith that the LSO has shown in the Panufnik Scheme.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.

Awareness of the novel coronavirus had reached us earlier, as The Cleveland Orchestra was making final preparations for the spring concert tour to Europe and the United Arab Emirates. Schedules many years in the making were suddenly being questioned. I talked daily with André Gremillet, the Orchestra’s President \u0026amp; CEO, to discuss the options and concerns. With the virus spreading, would it be safe for over a hundred musicians and accompanying staff to travel and perform? Which country might become a new hot spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet like so many everywhere, we kept to schedule, rehearsing and performing in Cleveland, while talking widely with medical experts in Ohio and from around the world. We were simultaneously reviewing our original plans and several alternate scenarios. Might we stay at home in Cleveland and present concerts for the larger community instead of going to Europe? Would the virus interrupt concerts scheduled for Cleveland in March, or later in the spring? The bigger picture was also on television each day. Rising numbers of people were becoming sick and dying. One country after another was reporting cases. People were frightened, hospitals were busier and busier. Towns, cities, and borders were closing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the Mendelssohn-Křenek weekend, rehearsals continued for Schubert and Prokofiev. But the situation was moving fast. On Thursday morning, March 12, André addressed the Orchestra just prior to the week’s final dress rehearsal, telling everyone that, in anticipation of Ohio’s governor banning the gathering of more than 100 people together, we were closing Severance Hall to the public. We would continue with plans to record the Thursday evening and Friday morning concerts, but Thursday night’s performance would be for an invited audience only, a few donors and staff members, to comply with new orders from the State of Ohio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring rehearsals throughout the week, we had already been feeling each day that this week was somehow different. A number of the musicians were optimistic, others more worried and concerned. But we were all aware of everything happening across the world. And what we could agree on, what we knew with clearer certainty, was the music itself. And together we focused on what we were able to do, somehow almost unconsciously putting extra effort and understanding into our work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI remember at one point — and I know quite specifically when in the second movement — I suddenly realized that this might be the last time I would ever conduct The Cleveland Orchestra. The months ahead were filled with increasing uncertainty. We might not yet be ready to announce cancelling the rest of the season in April and May, but suddenly, perhaps without words, I understood the possibility of how deep this crisis might go. The tour, the weekend, the season, the summer. We could not know when we might make music together again, for a very long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn such times, you are in a situation you have never been before, yet also filled with awareness of reality. And the performances by The Cleveland Orchestra, both on Thursday and on Friday, the performances by this extraordinary group of musicians were perhaps as close to perfection as is possible to imagine. For all of us, in this kind of situation, you feel you want to hang on to something you love — to fully embrace the act of playing together, and to focus on Schubert’s beautifully laid-out music, filled as it is with clarity and conviction, in a musical journey of utmost majesty and tenderness. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchubert: Symphony In C Major (\"The Great\"), D.944 (57:33)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.
