Jan 15, 2016 | Sony Classical Releases The 2016 New Year's Concert With The Vienna Philharmonic & Mariss Jansons
Jan 15, 2016
NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Classical is pleased to announce the release of the recording of one of the world's most famous classical music events: the 2016 New Year's Concert with the Vienna Philharmonic under the direction of Latvian conductor Mariss Jansons. The live recording is available now exclusively at
through all major digital service providers.
will be released nationwide on January 22.
will be available on February 5.
Few other concerts can claim to generate such tremendous international interest as the New Year's Concert from Vienna. Under the direction of some of the leading conductors of our day the Vienna Philharmonic rings in the New Year with a gala concert that is broadcast from the magnificent setting of the Golden Hall in Vienna's Musikverein to over ninety countries around the world and watched by more than fifty million viewers. The 2016 New Year's Concert is conducted by the maestro Jansons, the third time that he has presided over this event. He made his acclaimed debut in 2006, before returning six years later for a concert that was described by the Viennese daily Der Kurier as &a red-letter day in the annals of music& and as &one of the finest concerts of recent decades,& a concert worthy of being &ranked alongside the legendary New Year's Concerts under Karajan and Kleiber.& Jansons made his debut with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1992, and since then he has been one of those select conductors with whom the orchestra feels a particularly close bond.
Until recently the program of the New Year's Concerts has tended to be a closely guarded secret and was often not divulged until a few days before the event, but in the case of the 2016 New Year's Concert it was revealed at an official press conference on November 30. In keeping with a long-standing tradition the program is made up of an ingenious mix of works by members of the Strauss dynasty (Johann Strauss I and II as well as Josef and Eduard Strauss) and their contemporaries. But on this occasion there are no fewer than eight works not previously heard within the framework of a New Year's Concert, namely, Robert Stolz's March of the United Nations, Carl Michael Ziehrer's waltz Weaner Mad'ln, Emil Waldteufel's waltz Espana, the Ball Scene by Josef Hellmesberger the Elder, two French polkas by Johann Strauss II (Violetta and Sangerlust), the Entr'acte Music from between Acts Two and Three of Furstin Ninetta, also by Johann Strauss II, and a polka by Eduard Strauss, Ausser Rand und Band. The New Year's Concert traditionally ends with a festive greeting and with three encores, the second and third of which have since 1958 been the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II and the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss I.
At the same time, the New Year's Concert is celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary. To mark the occasion, Sony Classical released a jubilee edition, The New Year's Concert: The Complete Works. This twenty-three-CD boxed set features all of the 319 works that have ever been played at a New Year's Concert, including twenty-five previously unreleased recordings from the archives of Austrian Radio, plus a bonus CD with thirteen brand-new recordings of works from the early years of the New Year's Concert when it was not yet recorded live.
The press conference was also an opportunity to announce a long-term extension of Sony Classical's partnership with the Vienna Philharmonic. This agreement provides for their continuing cooperation on the worldwide release and marketing of the New Year's Concert in all of its physical and digital formats. The partnership between the Vienna Philharmonic and Sony Classical is part of a great tradition dating back nearly thirty years – it was Sony Classical that released the legendary New Year's Concerts under Herbert von Karajan in 1987 and under Carlos Kleiber in 1989 and 1992.
For its part, the Vienna Philharmonic can trace back its roots to 1842, when Otto Nicolai conducted a Grand Concert involving &all of the orchestral players from the Imperial and Royal Court Opera.& The event was initially described as a &Philharmonic Academy& and is generally seen as marking the birth of the orchestra. Since its formation, the orchestra has been run by a democratically elected committee uniquely responsible for all of its artistic, organizational and financial decisions. In the 20th century, the orchestra has worked closely with a number of eminent conductors – Richard Strauss, Arturo Toscanini, Wilhelm Furtwangler and, after 1945, its two emeritus conductors, Karl Bohm and Herbert von Karajan. The Vienna Philharmonic has given some 7,000 concerts on all five continents. Since 1989, it has performed a Philharmonic Week in New York and since 1993 it has given a similar series of performances in Japan.
The tradition of the New Year's Concert dates back to 1941. The first concert to mark the New Year took place in 1939, but on that occasion it was given on December 31. Its first conductor was Clemens Krauss, who was followed in 1955 by Willi Boskovsky. Boskovsky conducted the New Year's Concert no fewer than twenty-five times between then and 1979. The list of conductors who have presided over a New Year's Concert reads like a who's who of leading maestros. Televised lived for the first time in 1959, the New Year's Concert is regarded by the Vienna Philharmonic as a musical greeting to the world that is offered in a spirit of hope, of friendship and of peace at the start of the New Year. The recordings of the New Year's Concert are among the most important releases on the classical market and Sony Classical is keen to ensure that they are available to a broad, international audience.

Sony ClassicalRead More &Jan 13, 2016 | Jazz Singer Stacey Kent Releases New Album, Tenderly
Jan 13, 2016
NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- &Life is the art of the encounter, though there are many failed encounters in life.& Seldom has the Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes's philosophy been more fully realized than in this meeting of Roberto Menescal and Stacey Kent.
There are so many reasons why Stacey Kent and Roberto Menescal should never have met, let alone formed a friendship based on mutual admiration and shared artistic vision, that the very existence of this ,
(OKeh) available January 15, is close to miraculous.
Stacey Kent – for whom jazz and the &Great American Songbook& formed the musical wallpaper of her East Coast adolescence – viewed Brazilian music with much the same fascination as that with which Menescal had viewed American jazz a generation earlier. Each went on to become an important figure in their own musical sphere. Roberto Menescal began his musical journey in the 1950s as a student in Rio de Janeiro. As an admirer of the exotic sounds of American jazz and popular song, one of his early idols was the jazz guitarist Barney Kessel.
Born in South Orange, New Jersey, in 1968, Stacey Kent began her musical career as an interpreter of American standards, bringing her own unmistakable, intimate and emotionally intelligent style to a vast repertoire. A natural minimalist, she gained a legion of fans for her &less is more& approach. While her music has become increasingly involved with French and Brazilian influences, the same quiet intensity that characterized her interpretation of the &Great American Songbook& has continued to inform her singing.
Born in Espirito Santo in 1937, Roberto Menescal became one of Brazil's most important 20th-century musical figures. A composer, guitarist, founding father of Bossa Nova, record producer and winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2013 Latin Grammy Awards, Menescal's importance to the history of Brazilian music from the late 1950s to the present day can hardly be overstated. That he remains as busy as ever – performing, composing and producing – is testament to his true passion for music.
The first step on the journey that led to the encounter between these two great artists was taken when the Brazilian DJ Bob Tostes, an aficionado of American jazz singers and a friend of Menescal, made a compilation of favorite singers for Menescal and his wife Yara. One track stood out for them: a recording of Gershwin's seldom played &Isn't It a Pity?& by Stacey Kent. In this recording Menescal recognized a quality that resonated for him: an emotional depth expressed with a quiet, un-dramatic intensity. This was a quality shared by some of the great Brazilian singers such as Nara Leao, with whom Menescal had enjoyed his closest working relationship. Yet here was an American singer displaying just such qualities.
Menescal made it his business to search out more of Stacey Kent's recordings, and quickly became such a fan of her work that, whenever he was producing a new, young singer, he would give them a selection of Kent's recordings with the instruction, &Listen to this and then we'll talk.& However, despite his admiration, Stacey Kent remained merely a name on the sleeves of his treasured albums. Similarly for Stacey Kent, a fan of Brazilian music since her youth, the name Roberto Menescal was just a name on an album sleeve. The idea that they knew of each other had never occurred to either of them.
Fast-forward now to 2011 and the final step on that journey: an invitation to Stacey to sing at the Show de Paz, held in Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Cristo Redentor, the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado. Stacey had been invited by Brazilian singer-songwriter Marcos Valle to sing his classic &Samba de Verao.& This was itself a meeting that would result in a close and enduring musical and personal friendship that has to date yielded a live album, many concerts and a DVD-in-the-making. But it was as Stacey was leaving the stage after her performance with Marcos that the encounter which led to this recording took place.
Menescal was to perform with the band Bossacucanova and was preparing to go on stage. In the bustle of the crowded backstage area, neither Kent nor Menescal had seen the running order or the artist list. And so it was that, on leaving the stage, Stacey spotted Roberto, guitar in hand. Already on cloud nine from her performance with Marcos, here was another idol! On the verge of stage-struck, she could say nothing other than &Roberto!& Menescal, similarly surprised but recognizing the singer from the covers of his cherished CDs, replied, &Stacey!&
Until that encounter, neither had any idea that each was aware of the other. A hurried exchange of email addresses in the wings sealed the friendship. Several subsequent meetings in Brazil and a regular exchange of emails and telephone calls allowed the new friends to make up for the lost years. For two artists of such remarkable empathy, a recording project was the next natural step.
Their first recorded collaboration was for Stacey's 2013 album The Changing Lights, which included Menescal's timeless classic &O Barquinho& and the Jim Tomlinson/Antonio Ladeira original &A Tarde,& both with Roberto on guitar. Such was their musical empathy that further recordings were bound to follow.
Having devoured the recordings of Julie London and Barney Kessel in his youth, Menescal had always harbored a wish to record an album of standards along those lines. For Menescal, meeting Stacey was the chance to realize that life's ambition – and, beyond this, to record that album with his favorite standards singer. For Kent, it was the chance to work with a musical idol and one of the founding fathers of a genre that had completely informed her musical aesthetic.
With Stacey's husband Jim Tomlinson on saxophone and flute, and Jeremy Brown on bass, this intimate collection of songs is something of a homecoming for both Stacey and Roberto: for her, it is a return to the &Great American Songbook&; for him, it is a return to the jazz roots that inspired him as a young guitarist in the heyday of the Bossa Nova.
Despite their being separated by generations, continents, cultures and languages, that chance encounter in 2011 has resulted in some of the most distinctively focused and beautiful work in each of their careers. This album represents so much more than just the art of meeting. It is also truly the meeting of art.

Jan 12, 2016
NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy Recordings is proud to announce the forthcoming release of Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin on Friday, February 26, 2016.
Willie Nelson's new album of pop standards, penned by America's legendary songwriting duo George and Ira Gershwin, follows the selection of Willie as the 2015 recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. The first country artist ever to receive the distinguished Gershwin Prize, Willie Nelson was honored in November 2015 with a two-day celebration in Washington, DC, culminating in a star-studded tribute concert (scheduled for broadcast on PBS on January 15, 2016).
President Jimmy Carter, who was unable to attend the concert, wrote in a letter read by host Don Johnson to the crowd that Nelson's music has &enriched the lives of people far and wide for decades& and that the songwriter is truly worthy of this &prestigious and well-deserved award.&
&To get a Gershwin award for anything is great but to get one for songwriting is especially great because Ira and George Gershwin were just fantastic writers. They wrote some of the greatest songs ever,& said Willie Nelson in response to receiving the Gershwin Prize. &The Gershwin songs have been here for many many years. When I was just a small guy, I remember hearing all these great Gershwin songs and they'll be around forever because great music like that just does not go away.&
Willie Nelson's distinctive down home delivery and heartfelt vocal stylings mesh perfectly with the exquisite construction, unforgettable melodies and sublime romance of the Gershwin brothers' songs especially selected for Summertime.
Among the 11 Gershwin classics recorded by Willie Nelson for his new album are two duets: &Let's Call The Whole Thing Off& with Cyndi Lauper (the song was originally introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1937 film Shall We Dance) and &Embraceable You& with Sheryl Crow (the song was performed by Ginger Rogers in Girl Crazy, recorded by Billie Holiday in 1944 and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2005).
Other songs on Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin include: &But Not For Me& (written for Girl Crazy, Ella Fitzgerald's version won a Grammy in 1960); &Somebody Loves Me& (published in 1944, the song was a hit for The Four Lads in 1952); &Someone To Watch Over Me& (written in 1926 for Oh, Kay!, the song also closes out Willie Nelson's 1978 album Stardust); &It Ain't Necessarily So& (written for the Gershwins' 1935 pop/gospel opera Porgy and Bess); &I Got Rhythm& (the 1930s jazz standard written for Girl Crazy); &Love Is Here To Stay& (the last composition completed by George Gershwin before his death in 1937, the song serves as the main theme in An American In Paris and is a centerpiece of the Great American Songbook); &They All Laughed& (written for the 1937 film Shall We Dance); &They Can't Take That Away From Me& (written for the 1937 film Shall We Dance); and the immortal &Summertime& (an aria originally written for Porgy and Bess, &Summertime& has become one of the most covered songs in pop music history).
Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin hearkens back to Stardust, the 1978 blockbuster album of pop standards that secured Willie's reputation as pop balladeer (in addition to his status as one of the architects of outlaw country music). Stardust peaked at #1 on Billboard ' s Top Country Albums and #30 on the Billboard 200. Stardust was on the Billboard ' s Country Album charts for ten years—from its release in April 1978 until 1988. In 2002, Stardust was certified quintuple platinum, and it was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame class of 2015.
Produced by Willie's friend and musical collaborator Buddy Cannon along with co-producer Matt Rollings, Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin features musicians Matt Rollings (piano, B-3 organ, Wurlitzer), Jay Bellerose (drums), David Piltch (bass), Dean Parks (electric guitar, acoustic guitar), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), Kevin Smith (bass), Bobbie Nelson (B-3 organ, piano), Mickey Raphael (harmonica) and Willie Nelson (Trigger).
