No Madness in Method Music of Lawrence Ball

Although I couldn’t say exactly what Method Music was, I could decidedly hear it at work.

Janacek Choral Works Return to Czech Roots

If you enjoy the music of Dvorak, Smetana, or Janacek, then this album will be a treat. If you just enjoy good choral singing, then give this a listen -- the Capella Amsterdam will not disappoint.

Tune Thy Musicke to Thy Hart

Stile Antico performs with clarity and precision. Fretwork lends support on some selections, their viols adding a warm richness to the ensemble. Even if you have a lot of Renaissance music, I highly recommend this recording.

Listening to Richter

Fortunately, Richter's recorded legacy is almost as vast as his repertoire.

Lisa Smirnova plays Handel

Much as Angela Hewitt has done recently with Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Smirnova offers a complete body of work that is impossible to resist. I can predict that the keyboard suites of GF Handel played by Lisa Smirnova will soon be heard on WTJU.

Roussel - The Spider's Banquet an Aural Feast

If you’re not familiar with Roussel, this disc might be a good place to start. The Spider’s Banquet just may entice you into Roussel’s charming musical web.
