Aurelio Barrios y Morales let down by performers
If you want to explore the music of Barrios -- and you should -- this release is a must. But if you're like me, you'll have to listen past the performances.

Lyrita completes Jones symphonic cycle
The recording quality -- as always -- is quite good. And the material, even better.

It turns out that 1922 was quite an eventful year! Here are my posts for the fourth and final week of #ClassicsaDay #Classical1922.
Arthur Farwell - Listen, then Judge
Is Farwell guilty of a concept that arouse seventy years after his death? I don't think so. That's not what I heard in this music. My recommendation -- listen first, then decide. But do listen.
