Naxos
Petrassi: Concerti for orchestra, Sonata da camera (Naxos)
The performances do not fully do justice to the concertos, but the sonata is more enjoyable [GPu]
Marschner: Overtures and Stage Music, Vol 3 (Naxos)
A few appealing selections, amid a lot of filler [SV]
Boito: Nerone (Naxos)
An intriguing rarity, mostly adequately sung but musically very patchy and dramatically incoherent [RMo]
Dohnányi: Violin Concertos (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Outstanding music … hits all the required emotional stops [WK]
Silvestrov: Violin Concerto, Symphony No.8 (Naxos)
These first recordings are to be welcomed [SB]
Falla: Piano Music – Vol 2 (Naxos)
Listen, stop the player, sip a glass of Rioja and move on to the next number! [JF]
Shor: Composer’s Notebook 4 (Naxos)
For the most part Alexey Shor’s music lacks individuality [GPu]
Cilea: Gloria (Naxos)
An unjustly neglected opera by the composer of Adriana Lecouvreur and L’Arlesiana [WK]
L Anderson: Orchestral Music Vol. 3 (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Leroy Anderson hits in uninhibited performances full of joie de vivre [IL]
Berg: String Quartet, Lyric Suite; Wolf: Italian Serenade (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Interpretative stature and technical prowess [CC]
Grieg: Orchestrated Piano Pieces (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Piano works by Grieg in orchestral garb by some important colleagues superbly played [GF]
Donizetti: Il diluvio universale (Naxos)
A pleasing, generally very well sung performance of what remains essentially second-rank Donizetti but one with some rewarding passages [RMo]
Alfvén: Synnöve Solbakken Suite (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) An exciting recording dealing with a lesser-known aspect of Alfvén’s career [WK]
Hildegard: Celestial Harmonie (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) The sheer beauty and simplicity of the music can stand alone [GH]
Corigliano & Friedman: String Quartets (Naxos)
I urge lovers of the medium to be brave and sample this wonderful disc [DWa]
Busoni: Violin Sonatas (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A disc full of enjoyable material executed with style [ED]
Das Partiturbuch: Instrumental Music of 17th Century Germany (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) Played with flair, imagination and no little virtuosity [JW]
Donizetti: Alfredo il Grande (Naxos)
Alfred battles with the Danes and the lack of star-quality singers in this slightly disappointing release [MP]
Persichetti: Music for Wind Band (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A fine all-round anthology of Persichetti band works [WK]
Grieg: Music for String Orchestra (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) A veritable smorgasbord of simply scrumptious music! [GPJ]
