Paul Wee Recovers Henselt and Bronsart Concertos
Paul Wee performs these concertos with abandon. His technique is formidable, and he employs every bit of it in this work.
Bacewicz, Ysaye, Enescu: Music for Strings
That three-dimensional sound stage really makes these works come alive. It also highlights the interplay between instruments, something key to all three works.
Top-flight recording, and top-flight performances.
Wigmore Soloists Focus On British Music
This is a fine addition to the Wigmore Soloists' catalog. And it would make a fine addition to most listeners' music libraries.
Missy Mazzoli Dark with Excessive Bright -- Exceptional
If you're not that familiar with Mazzoli's music, this is a great place to start. Especially when you compare the two versions of Dark with Excessive Bright.
Myriam Barbaux-Cohen Delivers with Mel Bonis
If you love Debussy and Ravel, add this release to your collection. Bonis had her own ideas of Impressionism and her creations have a lush, fluid sound to them.
Christian Lindberg adds insight to Pettersson Symphony 15
Christian Lindberg and the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra have done Allen Pettersson a real service. Their traversal of his symphonies has helped give his music a wider audience.
Johann Wilms Piano Concertos Rescued from Obscurity
Wilms' music is well-crafted. And these concertos are certainly undeserving of the obscurity they were consigned to.
Anders Eliasson symphonies present a unique voice
All three works are exceptionally well-constructed. And, at least for me, this disc was successful in its mission. I now want to hear more from this extraordinary composer.
Kaveli Aho Double and Triple Concertos - Definitive Performances
These are outstanding works, and real additions to the concerto repertoire.
