Howells and Wood - String Quartets by Puepil and Teacher
The "Englishness" of these pieces comes through without sounding cloying or artificial. Wood and Howells were masters of their craft. And the inherent beauty of these works is what the quartet delivers.
African Art Song - Uncommon Music Awaiting Discovery
Rebeca Omordia and her colleagues have produced an album of music worth exploring. And music that encourages further exploration. Here's hoping there's a volume 2 in the works.
Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 5 - Another Noteworthy Release
The penultimate volume in this series continues to surprise and illuminate. All recordings come from the archives of the Bruckner Society of America. Audio
African Pianism Volume 2: Still much to explore
There's a lot to explore. Africa is a large continent with many cultures and many musical traditions.
Mirage: Solid Piano Works by Stephen Dodgson
A welcome addition to this ongoing series.
Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 3 - More, please
Another fine addition to this series. Looking forward to volume 4.
Stephen Dodgson: Canticle of the Sun
Well-crafted music sung by a top-notch ensemble. If you're a fan of choral music, this belongs in your collection.
The Pre-Raphaelite Cello — British Gold
Every track is a well-crafted miniature. And yes, there is a commonality to these works.
Bruckner From the Archives, Volume 1 - A Remarkable Series
Kudos go to Lani Spahr, responsible for the audio restoration and remastering. The recordings range from 1944 to 1974. Spahr does a great job bringing these tracks close to the same sound.
