Salvatore Di Vittorio release not up to par

I won't give up on Di Vittorio or the Chamber Orchestra of New York. But I have to say -- to my ears, this release was a real disappointment.

Pál Hermann's music revived, thanks to Toccata Classics

This is an important release. Pál Hermann vanished from history. His music deserves a better fate. Highly recommended.

Respighi Works for Flute and Orchestra work for me

Those early works only exist in manuscript, and it's not clear if they were ever performed. I'm so glad they are now!

Roxanna Panufnik - Heartfelt chamber music

While the influences are many, the results are consistent. Panufnik refines her source material into something beautiful, and something that's uniquely her own. If you only know (and love) her choral music, "Heartfelt" is a must-have release.
