Classical Interviews – Izzy Tucker
Julian Carrillo Orchestral Works show originality
If microtones aren't your thing, give this disc a listen. There's a lot to enjoy. And if they are, then give this disc a listen. It will give you insight into the early days of an original thinker.
Classical Interviews – Amelia Bailey
Johann Mayr Messa di Gloria - forgotten, but not forgettable
I admire the skill and effort Hauk (and Naxos) have put into this project. These are finely crafted works. Forgotten, yes. Forgettable, I don't think so.

Classical audiences might be aware that there are contemporary female composers. But perhaps not so aware (with the exception of Hildegard von Bingen), of how many women composed music throughout the centuries.
Christoph Graupner Easter Cantatas intimate and effective
This is sacred music designed for the chapel, not the concert hall. The performances are intimate and finely-crafted.
Paul Wranitzky Orchestral Works worth a listen
A contemporary critic wrote that Wranitzky's music was popular "because of his natural melodies and brilliant style... His works held up very well in comparison with those of Haydn."
The works on this release support that assessment.
New release celebrates individual voice of Elisabetta Brusa
Both works receive their world recording premieres with this release. Now that they're available, I'd like to see them show up on classical radio playlists and perhaps even concert programs.
