The video gives impressions of the recording session with Franziska Pietsch and Detlev Eisinger as they make their audite debut with chamber works by Edvard Grieg. The three Violin Sonatas represent half his œuvre in this field, epitomising central stages in his artistic development. Grieg rated these three sonatas amongst his best works. The new production will be released on July 24th (Germany).
After recently the archive production Portrait Johanna Martzy was nominated for the Prize of the German Record Critics' Award, now another historical audite publication got on the latest toplist. The Telefunken recordings of Géza Anda from 1950/51 close a big gap in the discography of the Swiss-Hungarian pianist and were nominated by the jury of PdSK in the category "Historical Releases" for the longlist 3/2015.
The latest release of the series "Ludwig van Beethoven: Complete String Quartets" with Quartetto di Cremona was honored in July issue of the trade journal STEREO as "Audiophiles Highlight". We are very excited about this appreciation!
On the occasion of the CD release of Transcriptions and beyond Piano Duo Takahashi | Lehmann (Norie Takahashi and Prof. Björn Lehmann, Berlin)) and senior staff of King International (Tokyo), the leading distributor for classical music in Japan, visited the label audite in Detmold.
During the CD release concert in the Hochschule für Musik Detmold on Tuesday, May 19th the musicians presented a main work of their new album: Igor Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps in the version for piano duo written by the composer himself. This monumental work was contrasted by Franz Schubert's Rondo A major D 951.
The archive production Portrait Johanna Martzy was nominated for the longlist of the German Record Critics' Award (PdSK) 2/2015 in the categorie "Historical Releases". We are very happy about this appreciation!
The video gives impressions of the recording session with Martin Neu (organ) and the ensemble officium (chorals) for Tientos y Glosas. The production presents Iberian Organ and Choral Music from the Siglo de oro, the Spanish Golden Age. Recorded at the organ of San Hipólito Church in Córdoba the works are played on an organ that comes as close as possible to the sound aesthetics of the period during which they were composed.
Also the fourth album of the Beethoven series with the Quartetto di Cremona received a Supersonic from pizzicato. We are very happy about the award!
After 16 years of collaboration which has been fulfilling both artistically and personally, viola player Roland Glassl has decided to shift his focus to other areas of his musical life from the start of the 2015/16 season. As a new partner the quartet has found Andreas Willwohl who possesses all necessary qualities to continue the collaboration in a positive manner and, at the same time, will enrich the quartet with fresh input.
In May audite releases the follow-up album of the PianoDuo Takahashi|Lehmann with works and transcriptions for piano duo. For a preview watch the video with impressions and interviews from the recording session.
audite's historic archive releases enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. A current review in the March issue of the German journal Kulturspiegel shows, that the latest historical release Portrait Johanna Martzy is no exception. The competent critic dignifies the unprecedented remastering of label boss Ludger Böckenhoff: "Mit der akustischen Ehrenrettung dieser großen ungarischen Geigerin ist Remastering-Experte Ludger Böckenhoff wieder mal eine kleine Großtat gelungen: So lupenrein [...] das schöne Dokument anmutiger Perfektion."
