"Boult and the BBC - an unbeatable combination"
"These recordings from the 30s and 40s show off the still imperial British lion as a classical music force, with the noble and courageous Adrian Boult conducting the magnificent BBC Symphony Orchestra. The combination was a formidable one, Boult having led them in their first public concertos in 1930 and by 1932 having secured them a recording contract with HMV."
"It is a commanding performance of powerful music.
"At mid-price and well-restored by Michael Dutton using the CEDAR system, this is a very worthwhile opportunity to glimpse prewar English music- making at its best."
Laurence Vittes, Audiophile Audition, 1 June 2006

Helge Roswanege, known as ‘The Dane with the High D’ recorded, these during the 1930s and ’40s and shows off his unique voice to telling effect in repertoire ranging from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly and Bizet’s Carmen to the works of lesser known but equally engaging composers such as Kattnigg and Wille.

The Rubbra-Gruenberg-Pleeth Trio, heard on this release, had its origins during the Second World War, when Edmund Rubbra and William Pleeth (cello) were in the Army Classical Music Group. After WWII, and several violinists later, the young Erich Gruenberg joined, and in this grouping the Trio became well known, only disbanding as a regular ensemble at the end of the 1950s. Here they perform Rubbra’s Piano Trio in One Movement op.68 (1949-50) and Mozart’s Piano Trio no.1 in G major - both originally issued on a rare early 1950s Argo LP – as well as the Adagio cantabile from Haydn’s Piano Trio in F sharp minor. The legendary Griller Quartet provide a typically exquisite reading of Rubbra’s String Quartet no.2 in E flat major (1950-51), making this an essential release for lovers of British and European chamber music.

In the first half of last century, the Romantic wing of the German violin school had no finer exemplar than Georg Kulenkampff. Although he did not enjoy an international career like his Classical counterpart Adolf Busch, he made a number of recordings and his discography was rich in concertos: studio versions of works by Mozart (Turkish), Beethoven, Spohr (Gesangsszene), Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms (D minor and A minor), Bruch (G minor), Tchaikovsky and Dvorák, as well as live versions of the Glazunov, Sibelius and Reger. In the 1947 recording of the Double Concerto in A minor, heard on this release, Kulenkampff is partnered by cellist Enrico Mainardi, with Carl Schuricht conducting the L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Kulenkampff’s association with Mainardi went back to the mid-1930s, when he had a trio with pianist Edwin Fischer and Mainardi. The 1937 recording of the Violin Concerto in D major, reissued here, sees Kulenkampff in fine form; it was a work he had previously performed in public – at the Royal Philharmonic Society, Queen’s Hall, in 1934.
