JUST THE FACTS: • This is the auspicious premiere of a series of New Year's Eve Concerts from the famous
Semperoper in Dresden. Deutsche Grammophon is proud to announce a long-term
cooperative association with Christian Thielemann, Staatskapelle Dresden and
Unitel/Classica to brand a new series of CDs and DVDs, beginning at the turn of the year.
• Christian Thielemann, no stranger to the Yellow Label, and designated Principal
Conductor of Staatskapelle Dresden, pours his expertise into Lehár’s evergreen The Merry
Widow, with the American megastar Renée Fleming in the title role.
• Adding to the magnetic presence of Renée Fleming is the chocolaty baritone and charm
of Christopher Maltman, both singers making their Staatskapelle bows. Short encores
from Lehár’s The Land of Smiles and, on this occasion, obligatory, waltzes of Johann
Strauss II, round the musical event off.
• This is a rush release as this performance was only recorded on 30 & 31 December 2010.
ARTISTS: • Renée Fleming
• Christopher Maltman
• Carolina Ullrich
• Andrej Dunaev

JUST THE FACTS: • Pianist Krystian Zimerman returned to the recording studio after a five-year absence to
celebrate the 100th birthday of the foremost female Polish composer of the 20th century,
Grażyna Bacewicz
• This album features two hugely imaginative piano quintets and the forceful Second Piano
Sonata that Krystian Zimerman performed at the Salzburg Festival in 2008 to rhapsodic
reviews. Die Presse wrote: “One is . . . unlikely to experience anywhere else Polish music
of such power and charm and, at the same time, such refinement . . . In the “Maestoso”
first movement, Zimerman demonstrated his incredible flexibility, impetuous passages
merging directly into supple tenderness without any loss of tension.”
• Included is a unique bonus track: Bacewicz’s 1958 Violin Sonata no. 2, recorded for
Polish radio in the 1960s, performed by Bacewicz herself

RELEASE DATE: February 22, 2011
JUST THE FACTS: • Sketches of Corsica: the radiant lyric trumpet of Paolo Fresu glides across the massed
voices of A Filetta, the singers who are both trailblazers and keepers of tradition in the
realm of Corsican polyphony. The ancient and the experimental blend seamlessly in these
compositions, several of them written by ensemble founder Jean-Claude Acquaviva, who
has directed the singing group for more than 30 years. A powerful showing here also for
Italian bandoneon innovator Daniele do Bonaventura, who contributes new music, solos
imaginatively, duets with Fresu, and envelops voices and trumpet with an almost
orchestral sense of form.
