German Christmas Music a Welcome Regift
This is intimate music-making indeed. And as a Christmas album, it provides a respite from the busyness of the season. Forty-plus minutes of quiet contemplation. Thanks for the regift!
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 2 2023
The #ClassicsaDay team has made holiday music the December theme. The music shared doesn't necessarily have to be related to Christmas. It can be any classical work associated with either the sacred or secular activities of December
JoAnn Falletta Finds the Right Approach for Kodaly
Zoltan Kodály felt that music should be for everyone. The works -- and the performances on this album -- should have broad appeal.
Bernard Herrmann: Symphony No. 1 a Welcome Reissue
If you only know Hermann through "Psycho," check out this recording. He wasn't just a film composer. Rather, he was a composer who also wrote for film.

House of Belonging - Award-worthy Music
This is an album of extraordinary beauty. Beautiful, insightful music sung by master musicians. Oh yes. This one deserves a Grammy nomination (if not the Grammy itself).
Jauchzet Gott: Cantatas by Bach, Graupner, and Zelenka
As I say -- these types of cantatas work for me. And these performances really make them work. Highly recommended.
Marc Ponthus’ Masterful Beethoven and Stockhausen
Ponthus is in control. He knows the function of every note, and how it fits into the structure of the work. With repeated listening, I began to hear hints of that structure, too.
