Fanfonis Bring Mauro D'Alay Concertos to Life
D'Alay is far from a household name. So it's not surprising that these are all world premiere recordings. And yet the quality of the music makes me ask, "why haven't these been recorded before?
Johann Joachim Quantz Trio Sonatas Show Versatility
Well-recorded and well-performed.
Luca Maranzio - Missa Jubilate Receives World Recording Premiere
The Cappella Musicale della Cattedrale di Vercelli has a wonderful vocal blend. There's a luminous quality to the sound, especially when the entire ensemble is singing.
Alessandra Pompili delivers more Hovhaness gems
Alesandra Pompili gives us Hovhaness' vision in her performances. Her playing is expressive and fluid. An excellent recording.
Xiaoya Liu Delivers with Carl Vine Sonatas
Xiaoya Liu plays these works with authority and enthusiasm. Her touch is sure, and her phrasing nuanced. I highly recommend this recording -- both for the music and the performances.
Quartetto Ascanio explores Paganini's influence
Recommended for chamber music enthusiasts. And anyone else who appreciates a well-turned melody.
Filippo Sauli Mandolin Partitas Real Baroque Gems
A fascinating release, and a nice alternative to all those Vivaldi mandolin concerto recordings.
Antonio Vandini Complete Works carefully researched
Vandini's style galante music is charming and elegant. And in these performances, I think we get a better impression of the musician who wrote them.
