Bliss conducts Bliss (Pristine Audio)
Two important works, well performed under the baton of the composer [JF]
Williams: Orchestral Works (Resonus)
A programme full of attractive and highly imaginative music which is well worth getting to know [JQ]
Bach: Goldberg variations (Azure Sky)
Well played but very closely and reverberantly recorded, and somewhat anonymous, while the absence of repeats makes it sound truncated [RMo]
Śmietański: Chamber Music (Acte Préalable)
The trio is certainly worthy of your time and attention, the sonata less so [RHa]
Christine Walevska (cello) The Beauty and the Bow (Rhine Classics)
The admirable cellist Christine Walevska traced over 50 years of performances and recordings [JW]
Donizetti: L’aio nell’imbarazzo (Naxos)
Not a forgotten masterwork but an early comedy worth rescuing from almost total oblivion for 200 years [GF]
Schubert: Winterreise (Orchid Classics)
An extraordinary recording debut: a self-accompanied recording of Winterreise which proves to be much more than just a gimmick [PT]
Grainger: The Warriors (Cala)
(Déjà Review) High excitement, earthy vitality and superbly recorded sound [MC]
