Cesar Guerra-Peiza: More Brazilian Treasures
Goias Philharmonic Orchestra; Neil Thomson, conductor delivers some inspired performances here.
Akadamie fur Alte Musik Berlin Performs CPE Bach
Gustov Hoyer: Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Gustav Hoyer's "Rime of the Ancient Marriner" works on two levels. And that's a remarkable feat.
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and Falletta Echo Success
The BSO and Falletta give the symphony a stirring reading. It's a performance I found satisfying with repeated listening.
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.
Audiophile Society Deliver with Strauss
This is a release from the Audiophile Society. So sound quality is paramount. But on this release, performance quality is also paramount.
Fridrich Bruk Symphonies Reflect on Art
The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra directed by Imants Resnis delivers spirited performances. I'm hoping Toccata Classics will eventually release all Bruk's symphonies. Every one I've heard so far is well-crafted and has a distinct personality.
Howard Blake Orchestral Works Show Depth
Blake has had a long and successful career both in the concert hall and in film. He's a skilled and prolific composer, with over 650 works to his credit. And yet to many, he's a one-hit wonder.
Argentinian Contemporary Music Takes Flight
Four composers, four compositions. All are Argentinian, and that's really the only common denominator. Recommended.
