Dan Visconti: Lonesome Road - Music for Explorers
If you're tired of the same old/same old classical repertoire, and are looking for something other than dry academic exercises, "Lonesome Roads" will renew your faith in classical music's contemporary relevance.
Snapshots - Peter Knell miniatures shine in new collection
Markus Pawlik's technique is flawless. His clean articulation at times makes the music sparkle.
Arabella Steinbacher: Bruch/Korngold Violin Concertos
Steinbacher's art is quietly attractive, and one that can make even these overly-familiar works sound fresh.
Tugan Sokhiev Marks Stravinsky Anniversary
All in all, a nice commemorative package for an important milestone.
Zbigniew Bargielski String Quartets
Make no mistake: this is difficult listening. But the music holds rewards for the thoughtful and attentive listener.
Running the Gamut 5 - A Thousand and One Thanks
Every day volunteers from your community show up to educate, entertain, and enlighten. Thanks for your continued support. Many, many, many thanks.
Leon Kirchner - Revelations
Pianist Joel Fan, who performs on all but one of the selections, is an admirable interpreter of this music. His sympathetic readings bring its emotional content to the fore.
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.
