Within the arts, as within many fields, it has meant two things: an opportunity to slow down and be present in life in a different way, and at the same time, a stimulus to intense creativity and innovation. Today we’re very proud to release a disc by the Amsterdam-based Ruysdael Quartet, taken from a live performance at their own annual ZOOM! Festival in Velp, The Netherlands. When they first came to us with this project, we could little have guessed how precious live music […] - [Never mind the coronavirus - here's a beautiful new piano disc!](https://deux-elles.co.uk/2020/04/30/never-mind-the-coronavirus-heres-a-beautiful-new-piano-disc/): Carl Maria von Weber, Complete Keyboard Duets (DXL 1184) Bringing out a new disc always involves a flurry of activity and excitement, as we scramble to get everything ready for a big public concert at which the artist will triumphantly unveil their new album.

It shows that the theorbo has not only a rich past, but a present and a future as well.” In this recording, he joins forces with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, directed from the violin by Benjamin Marquise Gilmore. Only 400 CDs are available, all signed by the composer and […] - [New Release: Brahms Cello Sonatas on period instruments](https://deux-elles.co.uk/2018/11/11/new-release-brahms-cello-sonatas-on-period-instruments/): We’re delighted to announce the release of a debut recording of the Brahms Cello Sonatas by cellist Kate Bennett Wadsworth and pianist Yi-heng Yang, using an original 1870 Streicher piano and based on the latest historical performance research into Brahms’ own playing style. Kate notes, ‘what excites me about studying Brahms-era performing practice is that some of his most trusted colleagues lived long enough to make recordings, so it is possible to piece together written descriptions with actual sounds. Yi-heng and I were especially inspired by the recordings of Brahms’ younger female colleagues, many of whom scaled back their public performing […] - [New Release: Martin Roscoe's Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Vol. 7: The Tempest](https://deux-elles.co.uk/2018/11/11/new-release-martin-roscoes-beethoven-piano-sonatas-vol-7-the-tempest/): We’re thrilled to announce the release of Vol. 7 of Martin Roscoe’s cycle of Beethoven Piano Sonatas The main part of this volume is devoted to the Op 31 Sonatas composed in 1802 at a time when Beethoven was probably in the darkest place of his whole life, early in his thirties with the realisation of his impending deafness.

The resultant preludes are highly contrasted in scope and style, from virtuosic moto perpetuo movements to sound-worlds of deep serenity and intimacy. Paired with these are Mark Houghton’s ‘Twelve Preludes, Op. 79’, a neo-Romantic indulgence in the sonority of the guitar, with its special fusion of lightness and richness. Correa navigates these rapid changes of scenery with great mastery and poise, and the warmth of his […] - [You Did Not Want For Joy (DXL 1192)](https://deux-elles.co.uk/product/you-did-not-want-for-joy-dxl-1192/): You did not want for joy is Carolyn Sampson and Matthew Wadsworth’s third album together.

The title is inspired by the story that Handel’s early biographer John Mainwaring tells, about the young Handel secretly going up to the attic during the night to practise on the clavichord, in defiance of his father. The pieces in the first half are by some of those composers mentioned in a notebook of 1698, now lost, which Handel used while he was studying in Halle with Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow.

I think you’ll enjoy them.” -Gramophone Even by Beethoven’s own extraordinary standards, Op. 57 is one of his most striking and original works. Its intense emotion led to the unattributed nickname Appassionata around 1838, but the name really only tells part of the story. The visceral power, the tragic atmosphere and the many unique structural features all combine with that intensity to make the Appassionata arguably Beethoven’s greatest and most-admired piano […] - [Quart de Nuit: Ravel, Dutilleux, and Debussy (DXL 1185)](https://deux-elles.co.uk/product/quart-de-nuit-ravel-dutilleux-and-debussy-dxl-1185/): Some music sings, some music dances, and some music creates a space you can live inside, like a room or a landscape.

Composed by a young Beethoven at the age of twelve, these early piano masterpieces perfectly illustrate the daringness and originality of the young composer. Piano Sonata in C sharp minor, 'Moonlight' is the most famous work of Beethoven's piano works.  Martin Roscoe notes how ground-breaking it is with the composer's choice of key - C sharp minor was hardly ever used by composers, and secondly the opening with an Adagio slow triplet movement to produce a hypnotic calm while the funereal dotted rhythm of the main theme evokes the feeling of tragedy.  Producer Mike George adds that the F minor sonata is probably the most interesting and forward-thinking of Beethoven's early sonatas. “Listeners whose internal Beethoven sonata barometers read ‘intimate’ rather than ‘cosmic’ will respond to the stature and high standards of Roscoe’s artistry.” Gramophone, May 2017 View the booklet View on The Classical Shop   - [In The Beginning (DXL 1165)](https://deux-elles.co.uk/product/in-the-beginning-dxl-1165/): ‘In The Beginning..’ (Volume 5) presents the early Piano Sonatas of the Beethoven -  No 1 in E fat (Wo O47) composed when he was just 12 years old, and the Op 2 Sonatas, which perfectly illustrate the daringness and originality of the young composer. “[these accounts] go out of their way to emphasis the freshness and cheekiness of Beethoven, for all his indebtedness to Haydn.
