Chandos
Shostakovich: Symphony 13 (Chandos)
Shostakovich and Pärt, cheek by jowl, on this uneven disc [NC]
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4 for two pianos (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) This will be compulsory and compulsive listening for admirers of DSCH [PCW]
Arnold: Overtures (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) Hugely entertaining music conducted with incisiveness and flair [JQ]
A Room of Her Own (Chandos)
A handful of unfailingly accomplished, virtually unknown trios, in handsome performances and ideal sound [RHa]
Ravel, Berkeley & Pounds (Chandos)
A crisp interpretation of Ravel’s reverie that highlights its sui generis brilliance against his Boulangerist successors [NC]
Mozart: Piano Concertos – Vol. 9 (Chandos)
Bavouzet and Takács-Nagy are unsurpassed in sensitively conveying Mozart’s varieties of mood, but K415’s finale is diminished by a plethora of eingangs and a rescoring [MG]
Rachmaninoff: All-night Vigil (Chandos)
Musically and sonically outstanding [JQ]
Nielsen: Symphony No. 3 & Flute Concerto (Chandos)
An essential Nielsen recording that crackles with the chaotic energy of the life-force [NC]
A Room of Her Own (Chandos)
The Neave Trio charm us in this collection of rarities [RCh]
Tchaikovsky: Orchestral works (Chandos)
A very well played anthology of what is not Tchaikovsky’s most memorable or celebrated music [RMo]
Stravinsky: Violin Concerto, Apollon Musagète (Chandos)
Superb recordings of all the works here [SB]
Rachmaninov: All-Night Vigil (Chandos)
Another way to listen to this imperishable masterpiece, beautifully arranged for and performed by lower, male voices [RMo]
Beethoven: Complete String Quartets Volume 1 (Chandos)
Consistently magnificent performances, but comparison has a sting in the tail [MG]
Ravel, Berkeley & Pounds (Chandos)
Once again Impeccable music making from John Wilson and his Sinfonia of London [PRJ]
Path to the Moon Works for cello & piano (Chandos)
Three sonatas and a raft of transcribed songs offer fruitful material for the Chandos pairing [JW]
Felix & Fanny Mendelssohn: Choral Works (Chandos)
A full-blooded account of Mendelssohn’s weird pagan ballad, although his sister’s works will reward the curious listener in equal measure [RH]
English Guitar Concertos (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) The strong personality of dedicatee Julian Bream is ever present, but Ogden more than rises to the task. A fine disc [AD]
Ravel, Berkeley & Pounds (Chandos)
Three fulfilling works interconnected by pedagogical history [JF]
Bacewicz: Symphonies Nos 3 & 4 (Chandos)
This SACD presents music, in fine performances, that is well worth getting to know [JQ]
Lalo: Orchestral Works (Chandos)
A typical Järvi performance for good or ill [NB]
Massenet: Thaïs (Chandos)
Massenet’s opera is superbly rejuvenated in a recording which sweeps the field of all other versions [MP]
L Bernstein: Jeremiah and Age of Anxiety (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) This disc in excellent sound is a worthy alternative to the composer’s own [JW]
Müller-Hartmann: Chamber music (Chandos)
An interesting byway of twentieth-century music [WH]
Lalo: Orchestral Works (Chandos)
Played with sensitivity balanced by enthusiasm [JF]
