Although Argerich has participated in numerous musical partnerships, not to mention her longtime mentoring of young artists, her associations with violinist Gidon Kremer and cellist Mischa Maisky are surely among the pianist's most substantial and musically rewarding collaborations. The present collection includes all of the Argerich/Kremer and Argerich/Maisky duo recordings for Deutsche Grammophon as originally released and in chronological order, allowing listeners the opportunity to trace each duo's evolution in terms of artistic rapport, sensitivity, risk-taking and the fine tuning of nuance.
Any discussion of Beethoven's violin sonatas (CDs 1, 4, 9 & 10) must address the fact that the composer did not designate these works as being "for violin and piano". For example, the first published edition of the "Spring" Sonata op. 24 from October 1801 reads "Sonate pour le Piano Forte," in large letters, followed in smaller print by "avec un Violon." Similarly, the title-page of the first edition of the "Kreutzer" Sonata op. 47 from April 1805 reads "Sonata per il Piano-forte ed un Violino obligato." None of this should be taken to mean that the violin writing plays "second fiddle" to the piano part, so to speak, but rather that both instruments carry equal weight within the musical discourse.
Argerich and Kremer understood this from the start of their recorded Beethoven encounters, originally intended as part of a series encompassing all the violin sonatas, the music for cello and piano with Maisky, plus the five piano concerti with Giuseppe Sinopoli and the Philharmonia Orchestra (in the end, Argerich and Sinopoli recorded only the First and Second Concertos). Initially Argerich expressed apprehension about recording Beethoven, lest her readings might sound self-conscious under the microphone's objective, unforgiving scrutiny. Yet, during an interview conducted prior to the cycle's final sessions, both Argerich and Kremer spoke of using the recording process to look for the unexpected. "It was an inspired idea to match (Argerich) against a violinist so unpredictable as she is herself," wrote Edward Greenfield in Gramophone, "for though there is nothing `safe' about these interpretations, and not everyone will respond to their sparkling, volatile qualities, the liveness of the experience is undeniable."

A superb collection of some of the greatest
performances of Richard Strauss's orchestral,
operatic, chamber and vocal works, brought
together in a stunning 35-CD edition of
fantastic value. The collection begins
with a survey of Strauss's orchestral music, including the supremely popular symphonic poems - Don Juan, Don Quixote, Also sprach Zarathustra, Till Eulenspiegel, Tod und Verklärung, Eine Alpensinfonie and Ein Heldenleben are included, together with comparatively rare orchestral works such as the wonderful Burlesque for piano and orchestra. These recordings, performed by the Staatskapelle Dresden and conducted by Rudolf Kempe, are a particular highlight of this box set,
some of the greatest recordings of the
classical catalogue. Alongside an extensive survey of Strauss's chamber music, performed by major international instrumentalists including Wolfgang Sawallisch (piano), Erno Sebestyen (violin), Wenn-Sinn Yang (cello) and the Sinnoffer Quartet, some of the definitive performances of Strauss's best-loved operas are also featured. In particular, Herbert von Karajan's Der Rosenkavalier remains unsurpassed. This comprehensive box set concludes with 3 CDs of Lieder, including the enduringly popular Vier letzte Lieder sung by
Charlotte Margiono and a disc of historical
recordings accompanied by Richard
Strauss on piano.
Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic stand among his greatest achievements. These televised programs introduced an entire generation to the joys of classical music. Bernstein conducted his first Young People's Concert on January 18, 1958, just two weeks after becoming Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. Such programs were already a Philharmonic tradition when Bernstein arrived, but he made them a centerpiece of his work, part of what he described as his "educational mission." Looking back on the concerts years later, he referred to them as being "among my favorite, most highly prized activities of my life." When he took a sabbatical season from the orchestra in 1964-65, he still came back to lead the Young People's Concerts. He continued to lead these programs until 1972, even though he had stepped down as director of the Philharmonic in 1969. Bernstein led a total of fifty-three Young People's Concerts during those fourteen years, and covered a broad range of subjects. The works of the great composers were explored, including tributes to modern masters such as Dmitri Shostakovich, Paul Hindemith, Gustav Holst, Aaron Copland and Charles Ives. Bernstein discussed "Jazz in the Concert Hall," "Folk Music in the Concert Hall," and "The Latin-American Spirit." He explained the intricacies of Music Theory in programs such as "Musical Atoms: A Study of Intervals" and "What is a Mode?" He broached complex aesthetic issues such as "What Does Music Mean?" (his first program) with clarity and without condescension. Bernstein also used the Young People's Concerts to introduce young performers to the musical world. The sixteen year-old pianist André Watts made his debut in the concert of January 15, 1963. Originally broadcast on Saturday mornings, the programs were considered so important that for three glorious years CBS presented them at 7:30 p.m. (prime time for television viewing). Eventually the programs were moved to Sunday afternoons. The concerts were translated into other languages and syndicated to forty countries.

We may tend to think Of Pilates as some new kind of exercise craze, but its humble origins date back to the early twentieth century when Joseph Pilates devised some exercises in Germany which were specifically for dancers.
What Is Pilates?
Pilates is a series of exercises that combine concentration, balance, deep breathing and body strength with effective stretching and movement. This provides a full body workout and plenty of healthy benefits, let me highlight a few of the key benefits of doing Pilates.
Key Benefits Of Pilates
1. Builds Core Strength
Your core muscles are some of the most important in your body and provide vital support to your spine. They are the deep internal muscles in your abdomen and back and help promote good posture and healthy movement, taking the pressure off other parts of the body such as your shoulders and neck. Pilates works and develops your core muscles, increasing overall body strength and freeing up the rest of your body to function efficiently.
2. Suitable For Everyone
We can all benefit from good posture, greater flexibility and supple muscles, and the great thing is that Pilates is suitable for everyone. You do not need a high level of fitness to start, and Pilates does not put extreme stress on the body. Everyone from children to the elderly can benefit form Pilates.
3. A Full Body Workout
Pilates provides you with a full body workout, as it trains and develops the whole body (not just specific muscle groups). It improves strength, balance, flexibility and movement for your whole body as well as relaxing and refreshing your mind. Pilates will have your mind and body working in perfect harmony, providing a state of health that is hard to attain anywhere else.
4. Better Flexibility
Stretching is a huge part of Pilates, and the more you stretch safely then the more flexible and supple your body will become. This will promote better movement within the joints. This will mean less strain on your core muscles and a lot less aches and pains, Pilates really can provide total body fitness.
5. Builds Lean Muscle Mass
If you are looking for flatter abs, a solid stomach and a more toned body, then Pilates can certainly give you this. Building muscle mass will also raise your metabolism (as muscle burns calories a lot faster than body fat), allowing you to lose weight or maintain a healthy body weight. It also gives you a slimmer and leaner appearance.
6. Improved Mental Well-Being
Pilates does not only provide physical health benefits, it promotes improved mental well-being as well. Pilates integrates body and mind, as total focus, deep breathing and concentration are key ingredients. Pilates is a great way to connect with your inner-self, find calm, peace and reduce stress levels.
