Martin Perry Performs Binkerd & Ives
As played by Perry, the sonata is very expressive, with some of the quieter sections sounding almost sweetly sentimental.
Martin Perry plays Carter, Bartók, Rózsa
Martin Perry presents works by three composers that aren't often grouped together: Bela Bartok, Mikos Rózsa, and Elliot Carter. And yet the three works on this disc form a cohesive and intriguing program.
Walter Ross: Through the Reeds
On Walter Ross' website, it says "he likes to write music that musicians enjoy performing and audiences enjoy hearing." That claim is ably supported by the works on this new release from Ravello.
High End Audiophile in the Automobile
Acura has teamed up with Krell Industries, manufacturers of $50,000 amplifiers and other home audio components, to create the best original equipment audio system yet.
Running the Gamut 3 - A Thousand and One Lessons
To some, broadcasting 3,000 hours of unique works may seem like a silly stunt. One of my colleagues who's a program director at a major public radio station told me it was the worst idea ever. I disagree.
Leif Ove Andsnes - The Beethoven Journey
It's taken a while for Leif Ove Andsnes to get around to Beethoven. And judging by the first installment of his traversal of the piano concertos, it was worth the wait.
Running the Gamut 2 - A Thousand and One Milestones
Looking over the master playlist for "Gamut," I'm amazed at both how much music by how many composers I've been able to air, and how much there is still left to do.
Beata Moon - Saros
If you think modern music is just academic cacophony, then Beata Moon's compositions should quickly change your mind.
Strong Finale for Ferdinand Ries Piano Concerto Series
Judging by the piano part, Ries must have been a ferocious player. Although there are some real technical challenges here, Hinterhuber makes them sound simple and even fun to play.
