Having celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, the CAPRICCIO record label was founded in 1982 and has become well-known for the individual character of its diverse catalogue. Capriccio always wanted to fill the niches that other labels kept neglecting. Capriccio is committed to classical music that looks beyond the mainstream for those who are curious to discover unknown repertoire, young artists and inventive programmes.
Recent releases have focused on forgotten composers, including Walter Braunfels, Karl Weigl, Ernst von Dohnányi, Hans Rott, Alexander von Zemlinsky and Pancho Vladigerov.
Eminent artists have ensured a consistently high standard of performance over the years. These include Christoph Eschenbach, Cornelius Meister, Roberto Paternostro, Bo Skovhus, Christine Schäfer, Ramón Vargas, Tzimon Barto, Matthias Goerne, Anne Schwanewilms, Christine Schornsheim, Jochen Kowalski, Hermann Prey, the Vienna Boys’ Choir, Concerto Köln, Max Emanuel Cenčić, Vladimir Spivakov and Dmitri Kitajenko.
The Capriccio label is recognised with prestigious awards. Recently pianist Frank Dupree’s critically acclaimed recording of Kapustin’s concertos won the 2022 ICMA Awards in the Assorted Programmes category. In the 2022 Opus Klassik Awards, Vol. 5 in Capriccio’s Schnittke Film Music series, recorded by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra under Frank Strobel, received the award in the film music category.
The Prophets, intended as the final act of The Eternal Road, was the last work that Kurt Weill composed in Europe and his last extensive setting in German before personally and professionally adopting the language of his new home, America. Musically, he drew on all his previous great works, from Mahagonny and The Seven Deadly Sins to his Second Symphony, at the same time foreshadowing some of his later works for Broadway. The Four Walt Whitman Songs, meanwhile, were a product of the war years and reveal Weill at his most touchingly American, fusing German Lied with American theatre, Berlin with Brooklyn.
‘The performance under Dennis Russell-Davies is of good quality and musically offers all that is needed to experience this important work, even if it is only one piece of the whole.’

As Pancho Vladigerov’s work becomes more widely accessible, the clearer it becomes that he was the most significant of Bulgaria’s composers, extending his influence well after his death in 1978. Revered in his lifetime, he was in a position to continue his work largely unaffected by the ideological demands of the Communist regime, although his musical language – tonal and grounded in the late Romantic tradition – wasn’t likely to provoke any reprisals. Yet in these works for the stage, Vladigerov displays a cosmopolitan side, easily slipping into the world of Strindberg for his Scandinavian Suite, chinoiserie for The Chalk Circle, based on the play by Klabund, and exoticism for Caesar and Cleopatra, based on the play by George Bernard Shaw.
‘Listening to the music, I found the Meccore Quartet to be highly accomplished and expressive, and the recorded sound up close and immediate…This is essential listening for all admirers of Penderecki’s string chamber music.’

Describing Markus Poschner as a conductor who transcends boundaries is to miss the point that he would never accept the concept of boundaries in music-making, thinking or educating in the first place. Having been born into a dynasty of musicians in Munich, he was influenced early on by his role as assistant to Sir Colin Davis and Sir Roger Norrington.
In 2018 his recording of the complete Brahms symphonies for Sony Classical with the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, whose chief conductor he has been since 2015, featured a completely new reading of these works and promptly won a prestigious International Classical Music Award. His recording of Offenbach’s Maitre Péronilla with the Orchestre National de France was celebrated by the press and won the German Record Critics’ Award in 2020.
Since winning that latter award, Markus Poschner has made guest appearances with many internationally renowned orchestras and noted opera houses that include Oper Zürich, Oper Frankfurt, the Staatskapelle Dresden and Berlin, the Munich Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Radio Symphony Orchestras of Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Leipzig, Stuttgart and Cologne.
In 2017 Markus Poschner also assumed the position of chief conductor of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the Linz Opera. Under his leadership, the orchestra quickly caused a stir by exploring its distinctive interpretation of the music of its namesake, Anton Bruckner. An unmistakably upper-Austrian musical dialect makes the composer’s oeuvre shine in a new and previously unheard light, keeping audiences and the press on the edge of their seats. In 2020 the Bruckner Orchestra Linz was named ‘Best Orchestra of the Year’ at the Austrian Musical Theatre Awards. Markus Poschner also won the 2020 ‘Best Opera Conductor’ award for the production of Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. Most recently, he opened the Bayreuth Festival in July 2022 with Tristan und Isolde and will again conduct this production there in 2023.
‘Poschner and the ORF musicians from Vienna collaborated to create this overview of the Fourth Symphonies. In the currently recorded 1888 version, Poschner shows that he knows the scores intimately and knows how to convey his ideas.’
– Pizzicato ★★★★★
‘Poschner establishes a fine balance between the serious, grandiose outbursts and the more idyllic, rustic sections but the mood is prevailingly sombre. The otherworldly coda is beautifully gauged bringing a finely controlled account to an appropriately imposing conclusion – one of the greatest in the Bruckner canon, regardless of edition.’
– MusicWeb International
‘[Markus Poschner’s] performance of the 1890 score of the Eighth (1/22) was extremely fine, and happily so is this fleet, idiomatic and clear-sighted interpretation of the 1887 version. I’m inclined to think it’s the finest performance of the score now available…’

Klaus Heymann, founder and Chairman of the Naxos Music Group, has been awarded the medal of Commander of the Order of Rio Branco by the Brazilian government for his contribution to Brazil’s classical music heritage through the award-winning ‘Music of Brazil’ series on Naxos.
‘When I was young, Brazil was the land of my dreams, and I was planning to emigrate and live there.’ The idea of living in Brazil did not become reality, but interest in the country remained. ‘Brazilian music has to be heard more in the world. Music publishers who control the works of the major composers have to make a greater effort to get the music performed. And we need more Brazilian musicians at an international level that can help promote the country’s music,’ emphasised Heymann, who embraced the project from the very first moment.
To recognise Mr Heymann’s dedication and efforts to introduce and promote Brazil’s classical music to a global audience, the Consul General of Brazil in Hong Kong and Macau, Ambassador Manuel Innocencio de Lacerda Santos Jr conferred the insignia of the Order of Rio Branco on Mr Heymann last week. The Order of Rio Branco distinguishes meritorious service and civic virtues, stimulating the practice of actions and deeds worthy of honourable mention. Notable past recipients include Laurindo Almeida, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Toots Thielemans and Ban Ki-moon.
Consul General Lacerda Santos Jr had this to say: ‘On behalf of the Brazilian government and people, I would like to congratulate Mr Heymann for receiving the Commander of the Order of Rio Branco Award, one of the highest distinctions that Brazil can bestow upon a foreign citizen. We not only celebrate his extraordinary achievements but also express our heartfelt gratitude for his invaluable contributions to the cultural enrichment of our society. This recognition serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to the arts, his tireless efforts in fostering cultural understanding, and his deep appreciation for Brazil’s classical music heritage. He is an example of how one person can make a difference in the world through his work and his ideals. He is an inspiration for all of us who believe in the power of music to bring people together and to make our world a better place.’
In his acceptance speech, Mr Heymann said, ‘Brazil is a country of 220 million people and most of them are music lovers. It’s a music-loving country, probably more than any other country in the rest of the world. I hope this project will help not only to make the music of Brazil better known in the world, but also to put Brazil on the map as a land of culture and with a big musical background.’
This ambitious project, Brasil em Concerto, developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, promotes music by Brazilian composers dating back to the 18th century. The series has reached its halfway point of releasing 100 orchestral works from 19th and 20th century Brazilian composers, performed by the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, the Minas Gerais Philharmonid Orchestra, and the Goiás Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as a selection of vocal and chamber music featuring Brazilian artists such as Latin GRAMMY-winning pianist Sonia Rubinsky.

Associates of the Naxos Music Group were saddened to learn of the recent passing of composer Kaija Saariaho, one of the leading figures in 20th- and 21st-century music. Based in Paris since 1984, the Finnish composer made a unique contribution to both the cultural life of her native country and to the wider concert repertoire, a reflection of the unique artistic vision that sustained her pioneering work.
In a 2019 BBC Music Magazine poll, professional musicians around the world adjudged Kaija Saariaho the most important composer alive, representing a natural culmination to the numerous international awards for composition that she had previously received, including a Grawemeyer Award (2003), Sonning Music Prize (2011), GRAMMY Award (2011) and Polar Music Prize (2013). She was the winner of the Nordic Council’s Music Award in 2000 and recipient of the 2021 Venice Biennale Golden Award for lifetime achievement. Other accolades included the French orders of Chevalier (1997) and Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres (2013). She became a member of the Finnish Academy in 2023.
For Ondine, one of Naxos’ affiliated labels, her passing marks the end of a significant, 30-year collaboration. The vitality of her music, however, happily continues in the label’s many recordings of her music that have enriched its catalogue. Her final ;orchestral album for Ondine (ODE 1309-2) received a 2019 GRAMMY nomination; previous recognition for her music included a 2013 BBC Music Award for an album featuring her clarinet concerto (ODE 1173-2) and a 2009 MIDEM Classical Award in Cannes for a programme featuring her cello concerto (ODE 1130-2).
Alongside her outstanding and award-winning artistic creations, Kaija Saariaho will also be remembered as a warm, humble, kind and sensitive human being, who took genuine interest in others and wanted to make a positive impact on society and arts education.
Kaija Saariaho – 70 years was released earlier this year to mark her remarkable contribution to music. The album’s compilation programme may be viewed by following this link.
Naxos artist Marin Alsop was recently appointed as the next artistic director and chief conductor of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Poland. Starting in the 2023–24 season, she will conduct a number of subscription concerts, the final rounds of the Karol Szymanowski International Music Competition, and a production of Penderecki’s opera The Black Mask.
Marin commented: ‘I am thrilled to accept this appointment and excited to continue our already thriving relationship. Our Japan tour in September 2022 and our ongoing recording and concert projects are part of a new vision for the 21st-century orchestra.’
Currently chief conductor of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Alsop is also chief conductor and curator of Chicago’s Ravinia Festival where she conducts the Chicago Symphony’s summer residencies. She is music director laureate of the Baltimore Symphony, where she founded the orchestra’s OrchKids education programme, and conductor of honour of Brazil’s São Paulo Symphony Orchestra. In 2020 she was appointed music director of the National Orchestral Institute + Festival at the University of Maryland’s Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. She recently accepted the position of principal guest conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra, starting in the 2023–24 concert season.
This year Marin Alsop will also make her return to the Royal Albert Hall, for the historic third time, as conductor of the Last Night of the Proms. In 2024 she will also make her highly anticipated Metropolitan Opera debut, conducting John Adams’ opera-oratorio El Niño.

Complete editions of George Antheil’s Violin Sonatas are a rarity, as is the interpretative and technical brilliance of violinist Tianwa Yang, a leading Naxos artist whose every release proves to be a triumph.
New Jersey-born George Antheil (1900–1959) traveled to Europe in 1922 determined to become ‘noted and notorious’ as a pianist-composer, soon gaining a reputation as the ‘bad boy of music’ with works such as the infamous Ballet mécanique. The first three violin sonatas come from this period, with the eclectic Violin Sonata No. 1 displaying the fiercely barbaric influence of Stravinsky, and the more jazzy No. 2 developing experiments in ‘musical cubism’. His Violin Sonata No. 3 achieves a synthesis of Stravinskian rhythms and Antheil’s more song-like tendencies, while the later No. 4 is built on Classical and Baroque models.
Violinist Tianwa Yang won the prestigious Opus Klassik Instrumentalist of the Year Award in 2022 for her Naxos release of Prokofiev’s Violin Concertos, and in 2015 for her album of Ysaÿe’s Solo Violin Sonatas. In 2014 she received the Best Up-and-Coming Artist Award and the annual prize of the German Record Critics’ Award Association for her recordings of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concertos and Sarasate’s Complete Works for Violin, also on Naxos.
Pianist Nicholas Rimmer’s discography numbers over 20 albums. In 2012 he formed a duo partnership with violinist Tianwa Yang, collaborating regularly on a wide range of repertory. Their recording of works by Wolfgang Rihm received a Diapason d’Or, a Pizzicato Supersonic Award, and an International Record Review ‘Outstanding’ Recommendation.

GRAMMY award-winning conductor JoAnn Falletta recently received the 2023 ‘Eroica Award for Outstanding Service to Music’ from the Major Orchestra Librarians’ Association (MOLA), an association of music performance librarians, during its 41st annual conference in Berlin. The association honoured Falletta for her many decades of exemplary leadership and tireless advocacy.
MOLA is the premier professional association for music performance librarians who acquire, prepare, catalogue and maintain music for their institutions. With more than 450 members, the international non-profit body represents more than 300 organisations.
“This award means so much to me,” Falletta said in her acceptance video (above). “I think that many of you know how much I admire MOLA and the work that you do – how much I admire your scholarship, your wisdom, your understanding of music, your support and appreciation of each other, and your incredible patience with all of us.” Falletta also thanked several librarians by name and acknowledged the important role they play in the performing arts ecosystem.
With a discography of more than 125 titles, Falletta is a leading recording artist for Naxos. She has won two individual GRAMMY Awards, including the Best Choral Performance award for the world premiere of Richard Danielpour’s The Passion of Yeshua (2021), and in 2019 the Best Classical Compendium award for Kenneth Fuchs’ Piano Concerto ‘Spiritualist’ and other concertos.

This acclaimed edition covering the early 20th century’s fashionable wave of hot dance music from America into Europe now takes us to Switzerland. One luxury hotel owner was able to boast that ‘only here, and at the Savoy Hotel in London, can you hear real jazz’. The trend for hotel bands spread its influence to all corners of ‘light’ and ‘classical’ musical culture, and Switzerland, as a popular destination for international travel, became an epicentre for this worldwide dance fever. 20th Century Foxtrots, Vol. 5 presents more evocative piano rarities from this Golden Age, performed with panache and grace by Gottlieb Wallisch.
‘Switzerland with its many talented composers from the 20th century turned out to be a real treasure chest for this ongoing project. I’m very excited to present Vol. 5 with almost exclusively world premiere recordings of Swiss foxtrots, tangos, blues, etc… This album is full of musical treasures and delicacies, coming from the heart of Europe!’
– Gottlieb Wallisch
Born in Vienna, Gottlieb Wallisch first appeared on the concert platform when he was seven years old, and at the age of twelve made his debut in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein. A concert directed by Yehudi Menuhin in 1996 launched Wallisch’s international career: accompanied by the Sinfonia Varsovia, the seventeen-year-old pianist performed Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’ Concerto. Since then Wallisch has received invitations to the world’s most prestigious concert halls and festivals. Conductors with whom he has performed as a soloist include Giuseppe Sinopoli, Sir Neville Marriner, Dennis Russell Davies, Kirill Petrenko, Louis Langrée, Lawrence Foster, Christopher Hogwood, Martin Haselböck and Bruno Weil. Gottlieb Wallisch is a Steinway Artist.

Pulitzer Prize and three-time GRAMMY Award-winning composer, Jennifer Higdon, continues to write what the Chicago Sun-Times describes as music ‘both modern and timeless’. Scheduled for release in August, Higdon’s Duo Duel for two pitched percussion instruments and orchestra is a double concerto of scintillating, high-speed virtuosity.
‘For a composer, nothing is more inspirational than writing for and working with fantastic performers. This recording is a testament to the joy of composing for two inspirational soloists – Svet Stoyanov and Matthew Strauss – and the thrill of hearing it all come to life in the hands of the fabulous Houston Symphony, with Robert Spano expertly guiding the proceedings! I could not be more pleased and honoured to share this work and the artistry of these extraordinary musicians through Naxos.’

Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, possessed a panoply of talents – leading swordsman, athlete, virtuoso violinist, composer and musical director – so it is not surprising that by the standards of his age he was not especially prolific. Nevertheless, Saint-Georges’ violin concertos demonstrate a gift for writing attractive and engaging music as well as a virtuoso technique with which to dazzle audiences, not least in his own performances. Published in pairs, the concertos recorded here show his originality of expression, his command of structure and a bravura exploitation of the violin’s higher register. The four virtuosic concertos are performed by the highly-acclaimed violinist Fumika Mohri and Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice, conducted by Micheal Halász.
Now you have the opportunity to experience Saint-Georges’ Violin Concertos simultaneously with the sheet music and the album! Enjoy a 10% discount on the digital sheet music versions (PDF) of all Saint-Georges works with the discount code ‘SG10OFF2023’ on ARTARIA EDITION! Valid until 30 June 2023.

Playing fairies
June 16, 2023
The importance of the date may have flown under your radar, but 24 June marks International Fairy Day. Acknowledging just how integrated these treasured tiny creatures of mythic imagination are in everyday life and centuries-old traditions, there will no doubt be numerous festivals taking place around the world in honour of the wee folk who have inspired so many artistic creations across all disciplines. So, instead of leaving out a biscuit and a glass of milk for any and all passing fairy folk, I thought this blog could make a quick flutter across music that has been inspired by fairies and a selection of their cousins: the sprite, imp, brownie, puck, dwarf and troll.
