Zibuokle Martinaityte Choral Works Uniquely Beautiful
Four perfectly-sung performances. And they create four soundscapes of exceptional beauty.
Maria Rosa Coccia - Sacred Music from 18th Century Rome
Coccia writes in the clean, elegant style of the middle Classical period. If you enjoy the choral works of Haydn and Mozart, you'll find a lot to like in Coccia's music.
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
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.
Farrenc: Complete Piano Works Vol. 3 - All World Premiere Recordings
Maria Stratigou's doctoral dissertation was "Performance Aspects of Louise Farrenc’s Piano Études." This is music she understands deeply. And as a pianist, Stratigou has the technique to make these works come alive.
Thea Musgrave - Chamber Works for Oboe
Daniel plays with a clean, clear tone and is in complete command of this material. He can be warm and expressive, or play aggressively and with great agility as the music demands. An unusual but very compelling portrait of a modern master.
Early Jennifer Higdon Works Age Well
In this collection of early chamber works, one can hear hints of the composer Jennifer Higdon would become -- and the amazing amount of talent she already possessed.
