First Hand Records
Shura Cherkassky (piano) The Ambassador Auditorium Recitals 1981-9 (First Hand Records)
A desirable collection that captures the Cherkassky magic [SG]

Good performances of Ravel’s three major chamber works [SB]

Surprises and little-known Sibelian nuggets [JW]
Eller: Works for Violin & Piano (First Hand Records)
Ten world premiere recordings amongst this conspectus of Eller’s violin works [JW]
Vestiva – Embellishing 16th & 17th Century Music (First Hand Records)
A fine demonstration of some of the main aspects of performance practice in music of the late Renaissance and early Baroque [JV]

With seventeen never-before-recorded songs, this issue is a valuable addition to the growing discography of Fanny Hensel [GF]

Enchanting and personal Bach playing [RCh]
