Three Polish Voices, One Bold Sound
A fine album of music. And one that demonstrates just how diverse the music of a single country can be.
Liszt’s Legacy: Two Forgotten Concertos, Reborn
Triendl has the chops to pull off these concertos -- and they're needed. Emil von Sauer was considered Franz Liszt's heir. His piano writing is dense and difficult. Conrad Ansorge also follows in Liszt's footsteps.
Violina Petrychenko Champions Ukrainian Masters
This album presents two world premiere recordings. And what wonderful additions to the repertoire they are.
The Timeless Sequences of the Liber ymnorum
The performances are excellent. This is serene, contemplative music designed to enhance worship -- or at least thoughts of the Divine. It succeeds.
Kreutzer Quartet: Four Premieres, Four Bold Voices
Derek Scott’s Dance Suites: Defying Academia
Scott's Dance Suites may be frowned on by academia, but they brought a smile to my face.
Theodore Dubois: A Romantic Voice Rediscovered
If you enjoy the music of French masters such as Massenet and Saint-Saens, give Dubois a listen. It's music worth exploring.
Anatoly Alexandrov’s Landmark Piano Sonatas
Divine Art sequences the sonatas in chronological order. And that's a great way to listen to them (at least initially). It's easy to hear the development of Alexandrov's compositional skill. And at the same time hear the spiritual foundations that tie these works together.
Ronaldo Miranda’s Piano Works Shine in New Release
Pianist Eduardo Monteiro brings a lot of attitude to his playing. And it's what Miranda's music requires. This is music to be enjoyed.
