Naxos
Domenico Scarlatti: Complete Keyboard Sonatas Vol 29 (Naxos)
Convincing performances add to this splendid Naxos survey [SG]
Handel: Lotario (Naxos)
A thoroughly enjoyable, very well sung and played – if rather small-scale – performance of a neglected Handel opera [RMo]
Weber: Overtures (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Delicate contrasts of mood and bright clear recording [RW]
Copland: Orchestral Works (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) In all respects, recommended without a moment’s hesitation [KS]
Donizetti: Roberto Devereux (Naxos)
The cast as a whole makes this the best set so far [GF]
Anderson: Orchestral Music Vol. 5 (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Undeservedly neglected light music [IL]
Auber: Overtures Vol 7 (Naxos)
One of the best entries so far in this enterprising series [RMay]
Alwyn: Elizabethan Dances, Oboe Concerto, Aphrodite in Aulis (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Two premiere recordings at bargain cost and generally excellent performances [JW]
Barber: Piano Concerto (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A series of recordings that has gone from unusual and interesting to groundbreaking and formidable [KS]
Carrara: The Devil’s Bridge (Naxos)
A contemporary Italian composer with a real gift of creating narrative music that engages the listener [KT]
Piston: Symphonies Nos 2 & 6 (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) The merit of this distinguished 1988 recording, in its new incarnation, burns just as brightly [JW]
Rachmaninov: Music for Two Pianos (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) More delicate and finely nuanced readings of these pieces are very hard to find [TP]
Malawski: Orchestral Works (Naxos)
A valuable disc of music by a composer writing at the height of the Stalinist terrors [NB]
Granados: Goyescas Piano Suite, El Pelele (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) To put it simply, this is the finest recording of music for guitars that I have ever heard [KS]
Donizetti: L’aio nell’imbarazzo (Naxos)
Not a forgotten masterwork but an early comedy worth rescuing from almost total oblivion for 200 years [GF]
Busoni: Doktor Faust (Naxos)
A new recording of Busoni’s operatic masterpiece which falls short of expectations in a number of aspects [PCG]
Torke: Rapture, An American Abroad and Jasper (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) An excellent introduction to the sound world of Michael Torke. Minimalism with a difference [NH]
Bruckner: The Symphonies (Naxos)
A superb contribution to the anniversary celebrations: original interpretation, fine playing, good sound and outstanding documentation [RWe]
Ukrainian Christmas (Naxos)
Dazzling orchestral arrangements of traditional and recent Ukrainian Christmas music [GH]
Arnold: Concerto for Two Pianos (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A valuable addition to the growing Arnold catalogue [BBr]
Rieti: Piano Concertos (Naxos)
A delightful disc of music by an unjustly neglected figure [PRJ]
Hely-Hutchinson: A Carol Symphony (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Happy Christmas from Naxos, a real stocking filler! [NHo]
Shostakovich and Schnittke: Piano Quintets (Naxos)
Effective writing, leaving the listener almost breathless as the music disappears [KS]
Mussorgsky: Sorochintsï Fair & Salammbô Suite (Naxos)
A completely convincing account of a rarely performed opera in a new orchestration for chamber orchestra [MP]
