Göran Forsling
The King’s Singers: Close Harmony (Signum Classics)
I recommend this issue with all possible enthusiasm [GF]
Erik Möllerström (guitar): Guitar (Sterling)
An issue not only for guitar afficionados, but for anyone who appreciates beautiful music [GF]
Saimir Pirgu (tenor) Saimir (Opus Arte)
A comprehensive recital: a lot of brilliant and heroic singing, and some subtle and lyrical [GF]
Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin (Atma Classique)
One of the freshest and most uplifting interpretations I have come across for a very long time [GF]
Jésus Léon (tenor & guitar): Passione (Rubicon)
A mix of well-known and unhackneyed songs, first class playing and agreeable singing [GF]
Jakub Józef Orlínski (vocals): #LetsBaRock (Erato)
A highly professional crossover album, that should be attractive to lovers of rock music, but is not quite my cup of tea [GF]
Bizet: Carmen (Pristine Audio)
A marvellous restoration of an old and half-forgotten recording [GF]
Ombre di luce – recital (Pentatone)
An attractive programme, very well sung, with several rarities [GF]
Richard Galliano (accordion): Around Gershwin (Pentatone)
This imaginative and varied programme proves emphatically that Richard Galliano still sits safely on his throne as the King of the Accordion [GF]
Verdi: Don Carlo (Orfeo)
Not only die-hard Verdians but all serious opera lovers should give it a try [GF]
Pene Pati (tenor): Nessun Dorma (Warner Classics)
That Pene Pati is a talented tenor far beyond the ordinary is obvious, and I hope he isn’t tempted to take on heavier roles too early [GF]
Roberto Alagna (tenor): Roberto Alagna 60 (Aparté)
A vital and compelling celebration of Roberto Alagna’s 60th birthday [GF]
Huw Montague Rendall (baritone): Contemplation (Erato)
A debut recital that every lover of great singing should treasure [GF]
Verdi: Noble Renegades – Scenes & Arias (Delos)
A stimulating and well-sung programme with lots of atmosphere from the stage [GF]
Williams: Reimagined (Warner Classics)
For chamber music lovers and admirers of John Williams alike, this should be fascinating [GF]
Sheehan: Akathist (Bright Shiny Things)
A deeply felt, very beautiful work which should bring hope to the world of today [GF]
Offenbach: Colorature (Alpha Classics)
A wholehearted recommendation for the unhackneyed programme and the magnificent singing [GF]
Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin (Harmonia Mundi)
Another marvellous recording of Die schöne Müllerin to add to the ever-growing list of highly recommendable versions of this indestructible masterwork [GF]
Charms to Soothe (Azica)
This is a disc for anyone with a taste for beautiful and stimulating music, played with taste and devotion [GF]
Graun: A Gentle Tenor (Accent)
A valuable contribution to our knowledge of vocal music of the early 18th century [GF]
Mahler: Lieder aus Des Knaben Wunderhorn (MDG)
In a crowded market this newcomer holds its own against the competition [GF]
A Waltz Through the Woods (Divine Art)
Light music at its best, entertaining, melodic, charming – and performed with the utmost professionalism [GF]
H Koppel: Piano Works Vols 1-3 (Dacapo)
A great achievement, recommended for those who want something off the beaten track [GF]
Brouwer: Rhapsodies (Naxos)
A many faceted and thrilling disc of works by a distinctly individual composer – and all the works are first-time commercial recordings [GF]
