Juozas Gruodis Piano Music
Another exceptional release of music worth discovery from Toccata Classics.
Zibuokle Martinaityte Choral Works Uniquely Beautiful
Four perfectly-sung performances. And they create four soundscapes of exceptional beauty.
Rediscovering Maria Herz’s Piano Music
I applaud St. Pierre for her bold programming choices. Most artists stick to the basics for their debuts. This is well-crafted music that indeed deserves rediscovering
Richard Flury Chamber Music, Vol. 2 - Quartets of Quality
Highly recommended -- along with volume one. I anticipate the remaining volumes will be of the same high quality.
The Estonian Cello Presents Unknown Masterworks
And what a gift to the world. Pianist Sten Lassman and cellist Valle-Rasmus Roots are both Estonian. They both understand the underlying aesthetics of this music. And that understanding illuminates their performances.
Balkan PIano Music United in Quality
This is a series worth exploring.
Gubaidulina Triple Concerto and Rejoice! Exceptional
Gubaidulina writes like no one else. If you're familiar with her style, know that these are some of her best compositions. If not, be ready for some real adventures in listening.
Daugherty: Harp of Ages one of his best
Bress is a first-rate harpist, and really delivers here.
De Hartmann Rediscovered Revives Two Masterworks
These are major works created during a time of war and repression. And the violin concerto was recorded in a similar circumstance.
