The Nash Ensemble plays with precision and energy. All four works are compositions of substance that deserve to be heard on their own merits.
Billband - Towards Daybreak
Listening from start to finish provides a complete aesthetic experience and one that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Wolfgang Rihm: Complete Works for Violin & Piano
If you're up for some active listening of thought-provoking music, then this may be the disc for you.
C.E.F. Weyse - A Danish Treasure Rediscovered
I was pleasantly surprised by what I heard -- I hope you will be, too.
Marcel Tyberg - A Voice Not Silenced
In a video promoting this release, JoAnn Falletta stated she’s fallen in love with Tyberg’s music. And her performance shows it. Highly recommended.

The purpose of this recording is to showcase the Radom Chamber Orchestra. It’s a good start.

American composer Adolphus Hailstork has been quietly building up an impressive catalog of well-crafted works. This new collection brings some of them to light.
Turnage Orchestral Works - Great performances by LPO
If you're looking for an introduction to Turnage, this disc can provide a nice overview of his orchestral writing.
