Richard Strauss: Enoch Arden – A melodrama for piano and speaker after Alfred Lord Tennyson
 
Based on the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem of love and sacrifice, Enoch Arden tells the tale of a young Scottish sailor who leaves his family to make his name in the treacherous seas of the East.  Ten years pass, and passions and fortunes change as with the tide, and the long-lost and battered Arden returns to a very different home than he left behind.
 
This release also features Emanuel Ax's performance of Strauss' Five Piano Pieces for solo piano, Op. 3

Grammy winners Ax and Bronfman - Together for the first time!
Piano greats Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman come together for the first time to perform Sergei Rachmaninoff piano pieces for 4 hands. These rarely recorded works of Rachmaninoff showcase the pianists' different approach and style. Acclaimed for his poetic lyricism and brilliant technique, Ax lets the music slide out from under his fingers. Bronfman's dynamic interpretation brings tension and character to every phrase. Together these two extraordinary musicians create a delightful and emotionally charged listening experience.

"...a marvel of digital dexterity, warmly romantic sentiment and jaw-dropping bravura..." -- Chicago Tribune


Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma 25th anniversary
Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma celebrate their 25th anniversary as a duo. Ax and Ma were joined by Isaac Stern and Jaime Laredo for a recording of Dvorák's Piano Concerto No.2, and the "superstar quartet" completed a sold-out US tour to critical acclaim.

Other Ax/Ma collaborations include Brahms' Cello Sonata in D Major, which was paired with Brahms' Piano Concerto No.2 on a CD released in 1999. Ax was joined by the Boston Symphony Orchestra led by Barnard Haitink for the concerto. BBC Music Magazine gave the album five stars and named it "Orchestral Pick of the Month" for November 1999.

Phantasmagoria (The Fantasy Album)
The superstar duo of Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma are featured on an album of music from Oscar® winning composer John Corigliano (The Red Violin). Phantasmagoria (The Fantasy Album) is a whimsical, mesmerizing and dramatic group of works spotlighting the composer's outstanding craft and prolific imagination. Highlights of the album include Phantasmagoria for cello and piano, a work based on Corigliano's landmark opera The Ghosts of Versailles. Pianist James Tocco also appears on the album.

"Ax's solo turn comes in the compelling 1985 work 'Fantasia on an Ostinato', a stark, minimalist adaptation of the Allegretto movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony... As expected, Ma and Ax pull off this clever pastiche with energy and style."
-- Time Out, January 01

East-West
Emanuel Ax is featured on the soundtrack for East-West. Nominated for an Academy Award® as Best Foreign Film, the film's score was composed by Oscar® winner Patrick Doyle.]]>
