Sohal: String Quartets (Toccata Classics)
Sohal_StringQuartets_ToccataClassics [DHa]
Debussy’s Corner (Cyprès)
(Déjà Review) A well planned, superbly played programme that is a pure joy from start to finish [HC]
Strauss: Salome (Chandos)
A thoroughly disappointing recording, poorly sung, indifferently conducted and afflicted by problems in the recorded balance [RMo]
Hahn: Le Dieu Bleu (B Records)
An interesting premiere recording of a ballet not seen for over a century [MP]
Stone, Salt & Sky: Duos for violin and cello (Delphian)
Very well played, adventurously programmed and well recorded [GPu]
Stjernebru: Nordic choral music (2L Records)
Had enough of contemporary Nordic choral music? Well, think again… [DC]
Rorem: Choral Works (Resonus)
Highly accomplished performances of music that is polished and refined [JQ]
Bach: Keyboard Concertos (Warner Classics)
Wonderful Bach from Beatrice Rana accompanied by some highly skilled, like-minded, Dutch string players [PH]
Fagerlund: Chamber and Orchestral Works (BIS)
Yet another superb addition to Fagerlund’s discography and a must for any follower of this composer [HC]
JC Bach & CPE Bach: Orchestral Music (Harmonia Mundi)
(Déjà Review) A real success here, then, from all angles [CC]
Maria Lettberg (piano): Europolis (Oehms Classics)
Music that should be better known and will reward the listener on every hearing [SA]
Dring: Complete Works for Oboe (Chandos)
A disc of unexpected delights – delicious music played with wit and elegance [NB]
Elgar: Symphony No.1 (NDR Radiophilharmonie)
Another great take on Elgar’s First from a top German orchestra and their outgoing chief [PH]
Puccini: Tosca (Pristine Audio)
Much here is vivid and compelling, especially with Pristine’s enhanced sound, but for me de Sabata prevails [RMo]
The Last Castrato. Arias for Velluti (Château de Versailles)
Mostly unheard gems by less familiar composers of the Bel canto era [MP]
Contemporary Choral Works (Regent)
An enjoyable and stimulating album of recent church music [JQ]
17th and 18th Century Organ Toccatas, Sonatas and Canzonas (Da Vinci Classics)
Bellatti is a skilful guide through the Ligurian organ landscape [JV]
Bruckner: Symphony No.5 (Elatus)
(Déjà Review) Bruckner would surely have been pleased with the passionate commitment shown here [TB]
Peter Moore (trombone): Shift (Chandos)
Peter Moore has built on his astonishing debut and his world renown is well deserved [SA]
Bruckner & Gesualdo: Motets (Soli Deo Gloria)
A stimulating and interesting musical programme, superbly performed by the Monteverdi Choir [JQ]
R & C Schumann & Liszt: Piano Works (Danacord)
A thought-provoking recording of Schumann and Liszt on an 1856 Erard [RMas]
Puccini: Le Villi (BR Klassik)
As satisfying an account of the youthful Puccini’s first success as one could wish to encounter [RMo]
Williamson: Chamber Music for Wind and Piano (Divine Art)
This is a thoroughly entertaining release, including a really excellent mix of Williamson’s chamber music [KT]
Ben-Haim: Orchestral & Chamber Music (cpo)
A thoughtfully assembled set [EJW]
