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.
The Unknown Enescu, Volume Two is Worth Knowning
Sherban Lupu's playing is superb. It's technically spot-on. And it embodies the Romanian soul Enescu channeled into this music.
New Release Features Richard Stöhr Firsts
The Sinfonia Varsovia is in top form here. Under Ian Hobson's direction, they've captured the Viennese character of Stöhr's music.
Richard Stohr Orchestral Music Proves of Interest
The Sinfonia Varsovia directed by Ian Hobson has a fine sound. They play with real warmth, enhancing the Romantic nature of Stohr’s music.
Ian Hobson launches new Moritz Moszkowski series
Ian Hobson is a champion of Moszkowski's music. His performances bring out the lyrical beauty of these works.
Moszkowski series continues with sweet orchestral suites
These are exceptionally beautiful works. This is music that (in an ideal world) could easily find a wider audience.
