Kölner Akademie's Telemann Easter Cantatas Highly Recommended

The musicianship is superb. Willens' direction brings out the individual characters of each cantata.

Just give this album a listen. Franz Joseph Haydn admired his brother's music. You should too.

Solomiya Ivakhiv - Poems & Rhapsodies original and beautiful

For her showcase album, Ikvakhiv didn't play the pieces she had to -- she played the music she loves. I heard that love in every track.

Kaleidoscope Sky - London Trio excels with Rosner and Cooman

Rosner and Cooman have different but not incompatible styles. The London Trio (and friends) deliver a compelling program. This is contemporary music most audiences should relate to.

Eduard Franck Concertos Receive Their Due

These are interesting works and provide some refreshing alternatives to the warhorses. Love to hear them in concert one day.
