Shostakovich Symphonies and Concertos - An Owner's Manual: Unlocking the Masters Series (Unlocking the Masters)
The fall of the Soviet empire has not diminished the popularity of Dmitri Shostakovich's great symphonies and concertos one bit, despite the fact that most literature on him neglects any substantive discussion of the music itself in favor of biographical speculation on the relationship between the composer and the political climate of the day. This is the first book to provide a detailed, descriptive analysis of the 21 symphonies and concertos, work by work, explaining not just why they are significant documents of their time and place, but why they are great music in general. This offers readers an understanding of why Shostakovich's music enjoys the enduring support of performers and listeners alike, and how it fits into the great tradition of Western classical music generally..

Bela Bartok - Concerto for Orchestra: The Masterworks Library (Boosey & Hawkes Masterworks Library)
Bartk's Concerto for Orchestra was the biggest public success of his career. He had previously been considered a minority interest, an uncompromising modernist. But the concerto was approachable and brilliantly effective; typical of the relatively straightforward style of his last works. It remains today his most performed work. The use of the term concerto was intended to signify something similar to the Baroque concerto grosso, with different sections of the orchestra being displayed in turn. The five-part form is unusual, but relates to the symmetrical or "arch" forms that Bartk had used in many earlier works..

Relax and De-Stress: Rest, Re-balance, and Replenish with Classical Music for Healing
"Legendary composers like Beethoven, Bach and Chopin instinctively understood the profound effect that music can have on our emotions and physical bodies. Now best-selling author and physician Dr. Andrew Weil has joined with producer and sound researcher Joshua Leeds to bring you Dr. Andrew Weil's Music for Self-Healing Series-classical music for promoting good health. With Relax and De-Stress, the first CD of this new series, listeners will enjoy a selection of soothing classical music, scientifically selected and performed to reduce physical tension, dispel anxiety and create inner calm. The award-winning players of the Apollo Chamber Ensemble perform each piece on Relax and De-Stress with the guidance of the sound-healing research of Dr. Weil and Joshua Leeds. Through subtle rearrangement and emphasis on the underlying psychoacoustic harmonics embedded in the music, these renowned musicians draw out each composition's innate healing potential. Masterpieces such as Debussy's "Reverie" and Vivaldi's "Winter" (Largo movement) are presented in a specific order on the CD, easing the listener with each track into a deeper state of stress-free tranquility. Relax and De-Stress is the perfect choice for listeners who wish to slow down from a hard day's work, prepare for a good night's sleep or simply unwind with some of the greatest work from classical composers.".
