David Starobin plays Guitar Music by Guitar Virtuosi
This is a collection of virtuoso guitar music written by virtuoso guitarists. And it's played by a virtuoso guitarist.
Bruckner From the Archives, Volume 1 - A Remarkable Series
Kudos go to Lani Spahr, responsible for the audio restoration and remastering. The recordings range from 1944 to 1974. Spahr does a great job bringing these tracks close to the same sound.
Schumann Trilogy Surveys Concertos and Piano Trios
The trios have a sense of exuberance about them, especially in these performances. As I said -- a perfect program. And in this case, played to perfection.
Charles Villiers Stanford: Irish Song Cycles Return to Roots
A fine addition to Somm's survey of Stanford's music.
Daniel Gortler Debuts With Favorites
Gortier's put together an enjoyable program and a well-executed one.
Strong Debut by Clarinetist Sam Boutris
If you want to know how the clarinet should be played. pick up (or download) a copy of Phases.
Four Hands at Home Present Cozy Compositions
An interesting audio recreation of a time gone by. And a revival of some sadly-neglected repertoire.
Zillacus Quartet Present Collaborative Masterworks
The Zilliacus Quartet has a warm, clear ensemble sound. They bring out the emotional content of this music, but never to excess.
Dario Salvi Brings Marschner Center Stage
Salvi conducts the Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble has an attractive sound. Details are easy to hear, yet the sound has a smooth, homogenous texture.
