Naxos
Shor: Composer’s Notebook, Vol 1 (Naxos)
A well recorded collection of contemporary pastiches [PRJ]
Handel: Water Music & Royal Fireworks Suites (Naxos)

(Déjà Review) These performances are among the best on the market [PG]
Massenet: Hérodiade (Naxos)
An exciting and well sung account of Massenet’s biblical opera [RWe]
CPE Bach: Sonatas and Rondos (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) I am thrilled that this splendidly crafted and colorful music has seen the sunlight [KS]

(Déjà Review) Heartily recommended to Ketèlbey’s once more growing band of admirers [JW]
Rodrigo: Complete Orchestral Works, Vol 3 (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]

The cast as a whole makes this the best set so far [GF]

(Déjà Review) Undeservedly neglected light music [IL]
Auber: Overtures Vol 7 (Naxos)
One of the best entries so far in this enterprising series [RMay]

(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]

(Déjà Review) The merit of this distinguished 1988 recording, in its new incarnation, burns just as brightly [JW]
Rachmaninov: Music for Two Pianos (Naxos)

Malawski: Orchestral Works (Naxos)
A valuable disc of music by a composer writing at the height of the Stalinist terrors [NB]

(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]
