Piazzolla's Steely Passion
I’ve heard some Piazzolla recordings that make pleasant background music. This isn’t one of them. The brass bring an immediacy to the music that cannot be ignored. And that’s a good thing.
Dussek Piano Concertos - Undiscovered Gems
Tuneful and appealing -- recommended for the concertos.
WTJU Needs You!
Have you ever listened to a program on WTJU, and thought to yourself I could do better than that guy. Well, you're probably right.
Joseph Schwantner, Chaser of Light
Top-flight in every way.
Hummel at the Opera
Pleasant – and in some cases – thought-provoking arrangements that make for an enjoyable listening experience.
Atlanta Symphony Premieres Theofanidis and Lieberson
Two substantial 21st Century works performed with authority and conviction -- the Atlanta Symphony's self-released CDs just keep moving from strength to strength.
The Naming Game, Part 3 - Tilted Titles
It doesn't really matter what a work is called, just how it calls to you.
Remembering JFK - 2 Views of History
The commissioned works are welcome additions to the repertoire, the 2011 concert is immensely enjoyable, and the 1961 concert recording is a wonderful historical document to a truly exciting musical event.
The Naming Game, Part 2 - Cataloging Chaos
When catalog numbers clarify, use them. When they don't, don't.
