Description:

The modern version of tonality style of 'Earth, Spring’s Daughter' will fall agreeably on the ears of those versed in today’s musical world. Conductor and orchestra prove forceful advocates of the music."> Tarkiainen: Earth, Spring's Daughter / Storgards, Lapland Chamber Orchestra There is no doubt here of pianist Tuija Hakkila's affection for the music and agility in her execution. The two lovely instruments she plays ‘speak’ readily, and the sound quality is truly superb."> Haydn: Eight Early Sonatas / Hakkila Trevino's “Ode to Joy” finale in the Ninth benefits from fine singing and tempos that are intelligently unified and not too fast nor too slow. The conductor’s stylish flair, astute musicianship, and good taste are never in doubt."> Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies / Trevino, Malmo Symphony Olli Mustonen has the fingers to express with confident assurance and at times with dazzling flourishes. In my corner this release is one of the most refreshing of the Beethoven year."> Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos / Mustonen, Tapiola Sinfonietta The slow and sustained writing of the A Minor's great central Adagio couldn’t be more beautifully controlled and modulated. Christian Tetzlaff and his colleagues realize their conceptions without the least hindrance, hesitation, or compromise."> Beethoven: String Quartets Opp. 132, 130 & 133 / Tetzlaff Quartett Vogt’s approach is robust, shapely, and highly rhythmical. Together with the orchestra, a marvelous plasticity of line is maintained throughout. What a pleasure to encounter Brahms captured with his eyes brimming with joy."> Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 & Handel Variations / Vogt, Royal Northern Sinfonia Lintu’s performances are superb. In the Symphony No. 3, there is a good deal of fast and intricate writing for woodwinds and strings, and this is realized with confidence and a verve which goes beyond previous performances."> Lutoslawski: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3 / Lintu, Finnish Radio Symphony Featuring three works for piano trio, all are quintessentially Vasks. The performances of their compatriot’s music plumb the depths of these works. The trio plays not just beautifully, but lovingly."> Vasks: Works for Piano Trio / Trio Palladio This is a release that can restore your faith in the power of contemporary music. The ENSO play throughout with the greatest of conviction and the glossiest tone, driven on by the conductor's unique understanding of K rvits’s work."> Korvits: Hymns to the Nordic Lights / Joost, Estonian National Symphony Competition abounds in Nielsen’s Flute Concerto of 1926 but Andrada is totally inside the unsettled, quixotic nature of the music and communicates lyrical passages with ardent conviction."> Nielsen, Ibert & Arnold: Flute Concertos / Andrada, Martin, Frankfurt Radio Symphony A Gramophone Editor's Choice! The music-making is nothing short of sensational. This is a bold reading with immense character, audacious, and courageous. Every gesture seems bent towards maximum expressivity."> Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 & Four Ballades / Vogt, Royal Northern Sinfonia Elts’ssensitive readings feature playing of refreshing refinement. Certainly no one coming to this music afresh will be disappointed by what is on offer here.

This album combines three works written within during the years 1926-1928."> Buried Alive - Honegger, Schoeck & Mitropoulos / Nagy, Botstein, Orchestra Now Anne-Marie McDermott's performances here are competitive with the best of the considerable competition in this repertoire. This is simply excellent Mozart artistry and thus highly recommended."> Mozart: Piano Concertos, Vol. 2 / McDermott, Odense Symphony Three of these trios are said to receive their recording premieres here, which makes this a welcome release. There is also evident joy in the performances, the communicatiion of their pleasure being readily audible."> New England Trios / Pitchon, Pelletier, Yu-Mei Wei Ruders furnishes the mother-daughter relationship with his most beautiful music, and the two singers - mezzo Tamara Mumford, as Gertrude, and lyric soprano Sarah Shafer as Lyra - are luminous in tone and moving emotionally."> Ruders: The Thirteenth Child / Shwarz, Starobin, Odense Symphony The recording is excellent with the performers giving a committed and engaging performance. While Harry Partch admirers may be the primary market, anyone is capable of enjoying this disc."> Partch: Sonata Dementia / Krieger, Rosenboom, Partch Ensemble Le dernier sorcier is a lovely discovery, and a work that, especially in this high-spirited performance, server up real listening pleasure."> Viardot: Le Dernier Sorcier / Owens, Barton, Myra Huang Hamelin supplies all the requisite virtuosity required by these works, and his own dedicated poetry. Is there anything this pianist cannot do? A feast for the ears, from start to finish, for all piano enthusiasts."> Liszt & Thalberg: Opera Transcriptions & Fantasies / Hamelin Beethoven’s masterly works in the genre are interpreted by musicians who defined their era as star soloists, close collaborators, and friends. These recordings do full justice to the spirit and scope of Beethoven’s genius."> Beethoven: Complete Violin Sonatas, Cello Sonatas, String Trios & Piano Trios Rostropovich’s performance of the solo part is impossible to overpraise, with its combination of phenomenal technique and complete musical understanding. Ormandy and the Philadelphians accompany him magnificently."> Eugene Ormandy conducts Shostakovich Werner was a warm, lyrical, and wise Bach interpreter, wholly devoid of artifice. The finest interpreters of earlier generations, of which he is undoubtedly one of the foremost, have much to teach us about these masterpieces."> Bach: Cantatas / Giebel, Krebs, Werner Anne Queff lec never made a bad recording. Her accomplished technique and tasteful musicianship consistently make themselves felt throughout. Pianophiles should snap up this set while they can."> Anne Queffelec: Complete Erato Recordings The Trout performance teems with delightful incident right the way through. The mood is convivial, like conversing friends who occasionally interrupt each other. In addition, Eschenbach’s solo moments have memorable rhetorical swagger."> Schubert: Trout Quintet, Waltzes & Landler / Eschenbach, Thymos Quartet The slow and sustained writing of the A Minor's great central Adagio couldn’t be more beautifully controlled and modulated. Christian Tetzlaff and his colleagues realize their conceptions without the least hindrance, hesitation, or compromise."> Beethoven: String Quartets Opp. 132, 130 & 133 / Tetzlaff Quartett This is a release that can restore your faith in the power of contemporary music. The ENSO play throughout with the greatest of conviction and the glossiest tone, driven on by the conductor's unique understanding of K rvits’s work."> Korvits: Hymns to the Nordic Lights / Joost, Estonian National Symphony Trevino's “Ode to Joy” finale in the Ninth benefits from fine singing and tempos that are intelligently unified and not too fast nor too slow. The conductor’s stylish flair, astute musicianship, and good taste are never in doubt."> Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies / Trevino, Malmo Symphony A Gramophone Editor's Choice! His playing of the Stravinsky Concerto is not merely crisp but insouciant, tossing off the music as if he were having the time of his life, and affording listeners much enjoyment here and throughout."> 1930s Violin Concertos, Vol. 1 - Barber, Hartmann, Berg, Stravinsky & Britten / Shaham DiDonato is mistress of all she surveys as the scheming empress, with an expressive palette and tonal beauty to match the finest Handelians, as well as enviable breath control. Emelyanychev's conducting sizzles with theatricality."> Handel: Agrippina / DiDonato, Fagioli, Orlinski, Emelyanychev, Il Pomo d'Oro A ClassicsToday 10/10! The performances reveal an unprecedented level of detail in both the solo and orchestral parts. Lortie has all the touch and sensitivity necessary to deliver the music’s more poetic moments."> Saint-Saens: Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 5 / Lortie, Gardner, BBC Philharmonic A ClassicsToday 10/10! Composer Nikita Koshkin is also an accomplished guitarist himself, which explains his master’s grasp of what’s possible in creating these terrific pieces. Don’t miss this."> Koshkin: 24 Preludes & Fugues For Solo Guitar, Vol. 1 / Selyutina Manuel Barrueco’s playing in the Concerto for Guitar is outstanding, especially in the Cadenza. The Quinteto Instrumental is a work of pure nostalgia, and a great work on which to end this very, very fine disc."> Villa-Lobos: Concertos for Guitar & Harmonica & Other Works / Guerrero, Sao Paulo Symphony A Gramophone Editor's Choice!

The spontaneity and drive of his playing smash the sterile confines of the studio."> Alkan: Symphony & Concerto for Solo Piano / Paul Wee A ClassicsToday 10/10!

The sound of the group's voices is extraordinarily gorgeous. They blend and move together perfectly while maintaining an absolute awareness of each line and its relative importance."> Penalosa: Lamentationes / New York Polyphony A ClassicsToday 10/10! This well-recorded release further demonstrates the pianist's penchant for unusual, fresh, and impeccably executed program building. These are delightful and stylish performances."> Ivan Ilic plays Haydn A ClassicsToday 10/10! Sharon Isbin’s appearance here informs the music with an authority that elevates the performances far beyond the merely respectable or routine. The Pacifica Quartet is a more than worthy partner."> Souvenirs of Spain & Italy / Isbin, Pacifica Quartet A ClassicsToday 10/10! This is serious music that bristles and singes and sings.
