CPE Bach: Trio Sonatas (cpo)
Unjustly neglected music in good performances [JV]
Beethoven: Symphony No 9 (Naxos)
A splendid achievement that transcends occasional lapses of orchestral technique and sonic limitations [JQ]
Mozart: Overtures (BIS)
Willens is both stimulating and instructive. For me, he proves Mozart wants you eager to listen beyond the overture [MG]
Günther Groissböck (bass) I live alone in my heaven (Gramola)
A profile of the singer Günther Groissböck – no revelations, but there’s always the voice [ST]
Ysaÿe: Rêves – Violin Concerto & Poème concertant (Avie)
With these Ysaÿe recordings, one senses that Philippe Graffin has embarked on a labour of love [MC]
Schurmann: Orchestral Works (Chandos)
An appealing entry point into Schurmann’s eclectic neo-Romanticism [NC]
Braga Santos: Symphony No 4 & Symphonic Variations (Marco Polo)
(Déjà Review) Braga Santos – a nationalistic impressionist with Iberian exoticism. A top recommendation [RB]
Britten: Blest Cecila – Choral Works Vol 1 (Coro)
(Déjà Review) Fecundity of original ideas [GH]
