It’s a Girl! Clever title, exceptional music

The piano trio of Irnberger, Geringas, and Moser present a program of music by female composers that spans about a century. There are big names, such as Louise Farrenc and Amy Beach. But the trio also includes other women who haven't enjoyed much exposure.

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!
