Richard Stohr Orchestral Music, Vol 3 Focuses on 1942
Ian Hobson directs the Sinfonia Varsovia in some inspired performances. I especially enjoyed their performance of the Symphony No. 2. The ensemble makes it sound expansive and symphonic, yet also thoughtful and introspective.
York Bowen, William Walton Viola Concertos Fresh and Appealing
Diyang Mei gives us a pair of excellent performances. In his day job, he's the principal violist of the Berlin Philharmonic. But he definitely has the personality to be a solo violist. Mei plays with warm expression and near-flawless technique.
Wranitzky Symphonies Anticipate Beethoven
If you like late-period Haydn and Mozart, you should enjoy Wranitzky. He was a master of his craft, and that shows in every measure.
The Wonderful Warwick Symphony Orchestra
A new weekly program premieres this Wednesday exploring classical reccordngs made in the pre-digital era.
