Dan Morgan
Nina Kotova (cello): Solo Cello (Delos)
Passionate, gutsy cello playing in a beautifully planned programme [DM]
Bach & Pärt: Works for Violin & Orchestra (Pentatone)
Spry, lively performances in bold sound [DM]
Shostakovich: Symphonies 8-10 (Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings)
Bravo, bravo, and thrice bravo; Kirill Petrenko’s Shostakovich sweeps the board [DM]
Prokofiev: Violin Concertos (Channel Classics)
Could be the recording that takes Milstein’s career out of the wings onto centre stage [DM]
Scriabin: Orchestral (BIS)
Good, solid orchestral performances, very well recorded; the sonata is a welcome bonus [DM]
Langgaard: Symphony 1 (Dacapo)
Very good, but not outstanding; Dausgaard’s 2007 recording remains the benchmark here [DM]
