Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Orchestral Works Back in Print
It's good to have this release back in print. Especially at a time when audiences are looking for music by composers of color. Coleridge-Taylor wore music of substance. But he also wrote music that appealed to the ear.
Carl Fruhling Chamber Music Brought to Light
Highly recommended for the beauty of the music, and the quality of the performances.
