Claves
Wissmer: Violin Concerto No 1-3 (Claves)
Beautifully moulded, beckoning and well-recorded performances [SG]
Bloch, Bruch & Dohnányi: Cello & Orchestra (Claves)
An impressive young cellist in an attractive programme [RWe]
Légende – Solo harp works (Claves)
A consistently engaging anthology of ‘romantic’ music for solo harp, all perceptively played [GPu]
C Stamitz: Cello Concertos (Claves)
(Déjà Review) Wonderfully wrought works, full of catchy, instantly memorable melody and magnificently harmonious [TM]
Turina: Serenata, String Quartet, Las Musas de Andalucía (Claves)
(Déjà Review) Each work is well worth hearing, and the Serenata is considerably more than that [CW]
J S Bach: St John Passion (Claves)
Despite some shortcomings, this is one of the better performances of the St John Passion [JV]
Bloch, Bruch & Dohnányi: Works for Cello & Orchestra (Claves)
Imaginatively programmed and superbly performed [DC]
Clarke, Britten & Bowen: British Music for Viola and Piano (Claves)
An international version of some very British works [SB]
Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 5 & 6 (Claves)
A lyrical, transparent account of the Fifth with an interesting condensed finale, and a good Sixth of no special distinction [RMo]
American and English Orchestral Music (Claves)
A fascinating juxtaposition of the familiar and the unfamiliar [PJ]
Oboe Concertos from Bohemia (Claves)
(Déjà Review) An excellently planned programme [NHo]
Bach: Cello Suites (Artway Records and Claves)
Two fine new accounts of Bach’s cello suites but the Artway issue is clearly preferable [RMo]
Michael Studer (piano) The Legacy (Claves)
(Déjà Review) Buy it for the Bach, and become enthralled by the rest [DC]
Gaubert: Chamber Music (Claves)
Assured and attractive music by a major figure in the history of the flute, well played and recorded [GPu]
