New CD recordings

I'm directing this to the Forum Administrator really, but others may know something too.
One mail order company advertising in the latest issue of the Gramophone is listing a January issue of a CD entitled "Lamento" by Magdalena - no composer is listed - whereas I had rather expected the issue in December of a CD by MK of Bach family arias.
Can you throw any light on this please.

Dear Bryan,

as you probably already found out in the discography, it is just the one CD you are talking about. CD Lamento with the Bach family masterpieces internationally releases in January 2005 at DG (Archiv Production). I wish you like it

Thank you. As you can imagine, I caught up with the fact that the Bach family recording was "Lamento" very quickly. Pity - I had hoped there were two different CDs coming out! As a matter of interest can you tell us if there are any more recordings awaiting release.
On a separate point , and prompted by the January programme and your newsletter re the Brno concert, would it be possible to give us Magdalena's full programme of concerts rather than just the main tours when she returns to the performing platform? Sometimes we have the opportunity to be out and about in Europe and we might be able to get to some of her concerts.
Yours, Bryan Roberts

Just to say that there is a recording of Gluck's Paride ed Elena waiting to be released in May 2005.

It features Kozena as Paride, and Gritton as Elena I believe, and is conducted by Paul McCreesh. Further details are available on DG's website - and follow this link to get some audio previews!

Go to artists (at the bottom), scroll down the pictures, that start with Abbado, then Argerich; click on McCreesh; then click on In the Studio. Absolutely stunning singing, and I cannot wait for the complete release!

Dear Bryan,

as regards the up-date of the 'on tour' section, we hope to include there all missing confirmed performances for 2005 till the end of January -- thank you for your understanding. For now I can advise you to check the most recent pictures from Brno recital that took place on 8th Jan. There are new pictures added in the photogallery in both 'performances' and 'fan-gallery' sections. Further we are working on the new reviews and articles to be on soon...

Kindest regards,

New 'Paride ed Elena' out in UK. Have listened to sections already, and Magdalena sounds fabulous, and her intrepretation of arias seems to have intensified from 'Le Belle Immagini' album!
