This month’s complete work is Pärt’s Tabula Rasa, performed by Gidon Kremer, Tatjana Grindenko and Alfred Schnittke, with the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra conducted by Saulius Sondeckis. This recording comes courtesy of ECM New Series.
To accompany the current Gramophone's feature about The King’s Singers, Signum Records has offered the ensemble's recording of Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen by Praetorius. Also in the latest issue of the magazine is this month's Collection Feature, Mahler's Symphony No 10, and you can listen to a movement from the leading recordings in the Player.
The newly transferred Archive Recording this month is tenor René Soames singing music by John Dowland, John Danyel and Thomas Campian, with Walter Gerwig on lute and Johannes Koch on viola da gamba, from the 1950s.
