Series 9 of 10 productions Mahler cycle with Rafael Kubelik in live recordings

Series 4 of 4 productions Géza Anda Edition
The four-part series, largely consisting of so far unreleased studio and concert recordings of the WDR Cologne from the years 1952 to 1970, closes a gap in the discography of the Hungarian Géza Anda, one of the most important pianists of the second half of the 20th century.
With piano compositions from three epochs - including works of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Schumann, Chopin and Bartók - Anda presents a representative cross-section of his wide repertoire, revealing himself not only as an exceptional pianist free of any form of romanticisation, but also as a conductor.

Series 3 of 3 productions String Quartets by Brahms and His Contemporaries (Gernsheim, von Herzogenberg and Dessoff) with the Mandelring Quartet
This edition compares and contrasts string quartets of Johannes Brahms and his contemporaries Friedrich Gernsheim, Heinrich von Herzogenberg and Felix Otto Dessoff on three CDs.
There were close contacts as well as looser ones between Brahms and the other composers, and musical references to Brahms in the works of his contemporaries cannot be denied. Nonetheless, their string quartets bear witness to an individual treatment of this demanding genre and Gernsheim, Herzogenberg and Dessoff confront the Brahms string quartets with independent compositions thoroughly equal in value. Herzogenberg's String Quartet in G minor, Op. 42/1 is presented by audite as a world premiere recording.

Series 2 of 2 productions Bach and his predecessors
Whereas contrasting his compositions with works of Georg Böhm and Dieterich Buxtehude especially shows the influences of North German masters on Bach's early works, the second part of the series points out reminiscences of Bach's organ works in selected compositions of South German composers, including Johann Jakob Froberger, Johann Caspar Kerll, Georg Muffat and Johann Pachelbel. In addition, the historical performance practice of Magnificat prayers is realised here: works of Pachelbel and Bach are newly combined, including Magnificat verses sung according to the traditional sequence and combined to form a musical unity.

Series at present 10 productions The composers Eduard and Richard Franck
Thus this audite series - dedicated to the various groups of works, from different chamber combinations to orchestral works - contains exclusively world premiere recordings.

Series at present 8 productions Historical Recordings of Legendary Violinists
One of the most recent releases of this series is a live recording of the Lucerne Festival, in which Wolfgang Schneiderhan shows the range of his repertoire, including the world premiere of the Magnificat by Frank Martin composed especially for him and his wife, soprano Irmgard Seefried.

Series at present 6 productions Historical Recorings of legendary Singers
Whilst audite has issued an independent series of the extensive production of Fischer-Dieskau, this series of historical recordings of legendary singers completes a collection of various individual portraits. Radio recordings from 1949 until 1951 with the German tenor Peter Anders, who died at the age of just 46, concert recordings of the Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad, considered one of the most important Wagner interpreters and who can be heard here in 1952 at the age of 57, the German-British soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf - accompanied for the last time in her lied interpretations by her long-time piano partner Michael Raucheisen - as well as the American baritone Barry McDaniel.
The first issue of lied recordings from 1963 to 1974 with Barry McDaniel consists entirely of studio productions. They offer impressive proof that the American baritone was unjustifiably overshadowed by his contemporary Fischer-Dieskau.
The latest productions of this series are besides the Lied recital from 1975 Lucerne Festival with Edith Mathis the 3 CD boxes attended to the Spanish soprano Pilar Lorengar. In studio and live recordings from 1959 to 1962 alongside standards, Lorengar pays homage here to the musical traditions of her homeland.
