#ClassicsaDay, #Strings Week 3
The #ClassicsaDay challenge for this month is to post examples of string orchestra works. No brass, winds, or percussion allowed!
Howells and Wood - String Quartets by Puepil and Teacher
The "Englishness" of these pieces comes through without sounding cloying or artificial. Wood and Howells were masters of their craft. And the inherent beauty of these works is what the quartet delivers.
African Art Song - Uncommon Music Awaiting Discovery
Rebeca Omordia and her colleagues have produced an album of music worth exploring. And music that encourages further exploration. Here's hoping there's a volume 2 in the works.

Juozas Gruodis Piano Music
Another exceptional release of music worth discovery from Toccata Classics.
Handel’s Jephtha a Modern Triumph
Dame Jane Glover conducts from the harpsichord, as Handel would have. Under her direction, we get a performance that's both authentic and engaging. The choruses are clean and precise, letting us marvel at Handel's counterpoint. The soloists are first-rate.
Koussevitzky@150 - Koussevitzky’s Prokofiev
Conductor Serge Koussevitzky championed the music of Prokofiev in Russia, France, and the United States.
