36; Allegretto in B flat Major,
WoO 39 - The
Romantics: vol. 10
The
Atlantis Trio - Jaap
Schröder, violin; Penelope Crawford, fortepiano; Enid
Sutherland, cello
The
Atlantis Trio presents three contrasting works by
Beethoven. First is the third of the three piano trios
from Op. 1, the work that established the young
composer’s reputation in Vienna around 1795. The
Allegretto in B flat was written for a child prodigy in
1812, while the CD concludes with Beethoven’s own
inspired arrangement for Piano Trio of his own Second
Symphony, Op. 36.

Op. 47; Sigismond Thalberg: Trio in A Major, Op. 69
- The Romantics: vol. 11
The
Atlantis Ensemble - Jaap Schröder, violin; Penelope

The
Atlantis Trio & Ensemble continues its presentation of
the major chamber works of Robert Schumann in its
Schumann 2010 project, which will include all the works
with fortepiano: the three piano trios, the piano
quartet and the piano quintet.
MO 0303: Carl Friedrich Zelter & Felix Mendelssohn:
Lieder - The Romantics: vol. 12
Andrea
Folan (soprano), Tom Beghin (fortepiano)
Soprano
Andrea Folan and fortepianist Tom Beghin present this
fascinating program of songs by master and student,
Zelter and Mendelssohn, who in addition to being the
composers, were jointly responsible for the revival of
Bach's St. Matthew Passion in Leipzig in 1829, an event
that spurred the modern revival of the Thuringian
master's music to its present-day unrivalled status.
MO 0305:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Complete Music for Two
Fortepianos
Penelope
Crawford, Nancy Garrett (fortepianos)
In this
exciting “stereophonic” release, fortepianists Penelope
Crawford and Nancy Garrett present Mozart’s entire
output for two separate pianos, including the great D-major Sonata and the C-minor Fugue, the latter a product
of Mozart’s discovery of the music of J. S. Bach through
the diplomat, Gottfried van Swieten.
MO 0307: Joseph
Bodin de Boismortier: Six
Sonatas for flute and obbligato
harpsichord, Op. 91
Douglas Worthen (Baroque flute),
Ursula Dütschler (harpsichord)
J.
B. de Boismortier (1689-1755)
was the first French composer to
earn a living solely from
writing and publishing his own
music, without the support of
wealthy and powerful patrons. He
was one of the first French
composers to explore Italian
concerto forms, while his six
sonatas for flute traversiére
are among the first such works
to feature a completely
written-out concertante
part for the harpsichord.
Long-time duo partners Douglas
Worthen and Ursula Dütschler
provide fine and sympathetic
performances of these gems of
the French High Baroque.

Summer
2010
MO 0306: Franz
Joseph Haydn: XII Lieder; Arianna a Naxos
Andrea Folan (soprano), Tom Beghin (fortepiano)
Haydn’s rarely heard songs are performed here by Andrea
Folan and Tom Beghin with due recognition of 18th
century performance practice, including embellishments
added to the vocal line. The first of two sets of songs,
these works provide a window into a little-known part of
Haydn’s output and an important part of the story of the
German Lied that found its later expression in the works
of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms. Also included is
Haydn’s great solo cantata, Arianna a Naxos.
MO0310: Franz Schubert: Complete
Music for Piano Trio
The Atlantis Trio; Jaap Schröder
(violin), Penelope Crawford
(fortepiano), Enid Sutherland
(cello), David Cerutti (viola)
Franz Schubert’s two piano trios are
among his latest and greatest
works, jewels of the early
Romantic chamber repertoire. The
1995 performances of Schubert’s
complete music for piano trio by
the Atlantis Trio – Jaap
Schröder, Penelope Crawford and
Enid Sutherland, re-released
here in newly mastered versions,
are classics of the “period”
instrument discography. In the
second trio in E flat major, the
finale which Schubert, under
pressure from his friends
severely edited, is restored to
its original “heavenly”
proportions.
MO 0311: Mozart: Sonatas K.
284/205b, 457; Rondo K.511;
Fantasie K.475
Penelope Crawford (fortepiano)
One of the leading fortepianists of
our day, Penelope Crawford
provides magnificent
performances of two of Mozart’s
greatest piano sonatas, plus the
A minor Rondo, K. 511 and C
minor Fantasie, K.475. Played on
a copy of a Walter fortepiano,
this CD takes us into the world
of Mozart the virtuoso, whose
playing was able to astonish his
listeners and set the standards
for the remainder of the 18th
century.
MO 0312: Georg Philipp Telemann: Seven Sonatas for
recorder and continuo<
Saskia Coolen (recorder), Margriet Tindemans (viola da
gamba), Peter Watchorn (harpsichord)
J. S. Bach’s friend: the celebrated, long-lived and
prolific composer, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767),
stood godfather to his second son, Carl Philipp Emanuel.
Among his many solo sonatas are seven for solo recorder
and continuo, works that range from simple pieces for
amateurs through to full-fledged virtuoso showpieces.
Distinguished Dutch musicians Saskia Coolen (recorder)
and Margriet Tindemans (viola da gamba) are joined by
Peter Watchorn (harpsichord) in this complete recording
of these essential and colourful works.
MO 0401: Chiara Margarita
Cozzolani: Salmi a otto voci
concertante, Venice 1650
Magnificat, directed by Warren
Stewart
The third of three surviving
publications by the Benedictine
nun, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani
(1602-1677) reserves her most
spectacular music for last. The
present collection contains
Donna Chiara’s most ambitious
works for an eight-part double
chorus of virtuoso singers, a
testimony to the high musical
standards for which her convent
of S. Radegonda in Milan became
famous. This set is the first
installment of Musica Omnia’s
“complete” Cozzolani edition,
performed by San Francisco’s
virtuoso ensemble, Magnificat,
directed by Warren Stewart.
Fall 2010
MO 0308:
Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonatas
Op. 109-111
Penelope Crawford, fortepiano
Penelope Crawford, the stellar
fortepianist of the Atlantis
Trio & Ensemble introduces her
dual surveys of the late solo
piano works of Beethoven and
Schubert with three of the
greatest sonatas by Ludwig van
Beethoven, playing her
magnificent and beautifully
restored instrument by the
leading Viennese maker of the
early 19th Century,
Conrad Graf.
MO 0406: Ralf Yusuf Gawlick:
Kinderkreuzzug
Ralf Gawlick presents his newly
composed cantata for children,
based on the poem
Kinderkreuzzug (The
Children’s Crusade) by Berthold
Brecht. The work was composed to
commemorate the 70th
anniversary of the outbreak of
World War II. Three children’s
choirs join instrumentalists
Blanka Bednarz (violin), Rafael
Popper-Keizer (cello), Richard
Shaughnessy (clarinet) and
Heinrich Christenson (organ)
MO 0410: Chiara Margarita
Cozzolani: Concerti sacri a Una,
Due, Tre, et Quattro voci,
Venice 1642
Magnficat, directed by Warren
Stewart
Donna Chiara Margarita Cozzolani’s
debut publication included
motets for everything from solo
voice to vocal quartets, all
with basso continuo. Her highly
individual and expressive
setting of Latin texts
epitomized the ideals of the
second generation composers of
the Italian Baroque, with
individual words often repeated
or highlighted for maximum
dramatic effect. Following the
success of Musica Omnia’s first
Cozzolani releases a decade ago,
we now present all of Donna
Chiara’s surviving works as she
published them, astonishing her
contemporaries with her
audacious harmonies and vivid
text settings.
Spring
2011
MO 0402: J. S. Bach: French Suites, BWV 812-817
Peter Watchorn (harpsichord)
Harpsichordist Peter Watchorn continues his survey of
Bach’s complete music for solo keyboard with this
exquisite recording of Bach’s six French Suites, like
the English Suites provided with a mysterious and not
entirely accurate title. The most tuneful and
approachable of Bach’s great sets of keyboard suites,
the French Suites are presented here in their entirety,
with all repeats, ornamented in the Baroque style. They
are played on a new brass-strung two-manual harpsichord
by Zuckermann Harpsichords International, for which
Peter Watchorn serves as chief tonal advisor. It is
patterned after a surviving original harpsichord from
1738 by Christian Vater, and represents exactly the type
of instrument for which the French Suites were written
in the 1720s.

MO
0403: J. S. Bach: Clavierübung II & III: Italian
Concerto, BWV 971; French Overture, BWV 831; Four Duets,
BWV 802 – 805
Peter Watchorn (harpsichord)
Bach’s Clavierübung was a four-part publication
that extended over fifteen years, from 1726, with the
appearance of the first of the Partitas (BWV
825-830) to the Goldberg Variations of 1742 (BWV
988). Part 2 comprises two utterly contrasting works: in
genre, national style and key: the Italian Concerto
in F major and the French Overture in B minor.
The four duets from Part 3: extended two-part Inventions
are also included, with their apparent simplicity of
texture and form concealing some of Bach’s most
sophisticated late counterpoint.
MO
0409: J. S. Bach: Six Partitas, BWV 825-830
Peter Watchorn (harpsichord)
Peter Watchorn continues his complete survey of Bach’s
harpsichord works with this recording of the six
Partitas, Bach’s Op. 1. These six suites represent
Bach’s most advanced suite writing, consciously
combining and juxtaposing numerous national stylistic
and technical features, the result representing a
virtual compendium of Bach’s mature keyboard style.
