Naxos
Respighi: Violin Concerto (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A notable release for Respighi enthusiasts [IL]
Halévy: La Juive (Naxos)
Halévy’s neglected colossus arrives on Blu-ray with fine singing, but in a somewhat muddled staging [DHa]
Glazunov: String Quartets No.1-3 (Naxos)
Tippett Quartet on great form in delightful, impressive works [NB]
Oswald: Symphony, Sinfonietta & Elegia (Naxos)
A most rewarding discovery from Brazil [RMay]
Tansman: Clarinet Concerto, Concertino (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A quality disc for a quality composer [Byz]
Sarasate: Music for Violin and Orchestra (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Tianwa Yang’s best Sarasate yet, which is really saying something [BR]
Early One Morning: Finnish Orchestral Favourites (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) I loved this two-disc sampler of lesser-known Finnish composers [BR]
Bryars: Piano Concerto (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Wistful, often romantic and without flourish, and deeply intimate in reach [JW]
Alwyn: Violin Concerto (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Some very impressive and often very romantic music [JF]
Rutter: Gloria, Magnificat & Te Deum (Naxos)
I cannot imagine anyone who engages with John Rutter’s music being anything but delighted with this disc [NB]
Piazzolla: Sinfonía Buenos Aires (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Freshness, spontaneity matched by committed, idiomatic playing [DM]
Jascha Heifetz (violin) Walton & Castelnuovo-Tedesco: Violin Concertos (Naxos Historical)
One of the greatest historical bargains that I’ve heard for a long time [BW]
Puccini: Tosca (Naxos)
This latest version of the perennial favourite is dramatically convincing, if not always quite adequate vocally [DJa]
Castelnuovo-Tedesco: Piano Quintets (Naxos)
Refreshing and enjoyable piano quintets in an accessible idiom [SB]
Beethoven and His Teachers (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Another insightful, informative album of early Beethoven from Naxos [BR]
Roslavets: Works for cello & piano (Naxos)
These works will be of further assistance in putting Roslavets’ music in the spotlight [RB]
Spohr: Violin Concertante 1 & 2 (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A fine and satisfying recording of music which, if hardly outstanding, has strong merits [JPJ]
The Munich Guitar Society Manuscripts (Naxos)
First recordings of recently discovered, historically interesting music for guitar [ZT]
Glazunov: Complete String Quartets, Vol. 1 (Naxos)
A fine way to investigate this little-known corner of Glazunov’s output; the Third is a real discovery [DJB]
Winger: Symphony of the Returning Light (Naxos)
Two very fine contemporary works which place a high value on melody and rhythm [DJB]
Respighi: Maria Egiziaca (Naxos)
A more than respectable recording of Respighi’s pallid, mystic hybrid of opera and oratorio [MP]
Italian Clarinet Suites (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Interesting music from largely unfamiliar names [GPu]
The 18th Century American Overture (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A recording that generates a contented smile [JS]
