STUDIO SECRETS
We reveal who’s recording what, and where
Pianist William Youn has reached the fifth and final volume in his complete Mozart piano sonata series. He’s heading to Munich to polish off the final notes; the disc will be released on Oehms records.
The King’s Singers have been in the studio to record their triple album GOLD, which will be released next year as part of the group’s 50th anniversary celebrations. There will be a disc of close harmony and two of a cappella arrangements. It will be released on the Signum Classics label.
The Ephiphoni Consort and director Tim Reader have recently recorded their debut disc. The chamber choir headed to St John’s Church, Upper Norwood to record choral works by David Bednall, for Delphian Records.
Viola da gamba player Robert Smith, member of the acclaimed Fantasticus ensemble, has headed to North Yorkshire, to St Hilda’s Parish Church, Sherburn, to record an alltelemann recital for Resonus Classics. He’s focused on the Fantasias for viola da gamba, works lost for many years but recently rediscovered.
Albanian violinist Tedi Papavrami, whose previous discs include works by Saint-saëns and Ysaÿe, has again been indulging his love of all things French and Belgian, this time by heading into the studio for Fauré's and Franck's Violin Sonatas. Joining him for the recording, on the Alpha label, was pianist Nelson Goerner.
