Florent Schmitt release balances familiar with unknown
Maestro JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra do well with late Romantic/early Post Romantic repertoire. Their previous Schmidtt recording of Antoine et Cleopatre was outstanding. As is this.
Carl Reinecke - Orchestral Works show influences
Henry Raudales and the Munchner Rundfunkorchester deliver some good performances. The orchestra has a mellow warmth to it that seems to suit Reinecke's music.
New England Trios make a solid program
These trios are all finely crafted, but it's the craft of the musicians that animate them.

Christian Friedrich Ruppe cantatas have broad appeal
These cantatas are straight-forward and direct in their appeal. And I think that's quite appealing.
Auber Overtures 3 -- keeps getting better
A strong addition to this series.
TECS presents: All Six Bach Brandenburg Concertos, Dec 24 - 28
Robert Furstenthal Chamber Music Volume 3 maintains quality
Like the preceding volumes, the music here is of very fine quality, and timeless.
Seasonal Serenity from Brian Galante and Stephen Paulus
Choral music focused on the spiritual center of the season, sung with beauty and sensitivity, instilling a sense of tranquility. I love it.
