  by  Maureen Buja     January 12th, 2026 The new recording on SOMM of two selections from David Matthews’ opera   Anna   is a welcome addition to modern symphonic repertoire. The opera, which was given in a concert performance at The Grange Hampshire , in July 2023, would have only a limited circulation, but now, in this orchestral reduction, Matthews’ evocative music can find a new audience. David Matthews’s opera  Anna Anna , the opera, looks at the personal implications of the 1989 revolutions in Central Europe . Whole countries were freed, but when the countries started looking at how the previous regimes were so successful, stories of betrayal and bravery stood side-by-side.

Hoffmann:  Sonata in A Major , “Andante” Between Law Books and Lyres Hoffmann was born in Königsberg, present-day Kalinin...

Like its culinary namesake, a fragrant mixture of diverse elements, the musical potpourri brings together contrasting themes into a single work arranged to create variety, contrast, and cumulative excitement rather than formal development. Although sometimes dismissed as light entertainment, the potpourri has played a central role in the circulation of music, the rise of instrumental virtuosity, and the interaction between popular and art-music traditions. © opera-diary.com The potpourri appeared prominently in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, during a time when opera melodies circulated well beyond the theatre. Before recordings, audiences encountered favourite tunes through arrangements for salon performances, home music-making, and p...
