The Golden Age of the Horn — Double Plus Good
Highly recommended to anyone interested in the music of Haydn or Mozart. Or any fan of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
JoAnn Falletta Finds the Right Approach for Kodaly
Zoltan Kodály felt that music should be for everyone. The works -- and the performances on this album -- should have broad appeal.
The Women's Philharmonic Re-issue Well Timed
Save for the piano concerto, these works are still seriously under-represented in recordings. So it's good to have this one back in print.
Andrea Tarrodi: Four Elements
The only way to understand her work is to experience it. And this release is an excellent place to start.
Florent Schmitt release balances familiar with unknown
Maestro JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra do well with late Romantic/early Post Romantic repertoire. Their previous Schmidtt recording of Antoine et Cleopatre was outstanding. As is this.
Tyberg Symphony Saved from Holocaust
JoAnne Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic are thoroughly invested in this work, and that dedication shows.
Marcel Tyberg - A Voice Not Silenced
In a video promoting this release, JoAnn Falletta stated she’s fallen in love with Tyberg’s music. And her performance shows it. Highly recommended.
Adolphus Hailstork - An American Port of Call
American composer Adolphus Hailstork has been quietly building up an impressive catalog of well-crafted works. This new collection brings some of them to light.
Fuchs: Atlantic Riband - Rousing American Music
The American Rhapsody for violin and orchestra is a more substantial work. It's elegiac, unabashedly beautiful music.
