#ClassicsaDay #FunintheSun Week 3
The Classics a Day team chose to catch some rays this August. And to find out how many classical composers did so with their music.
New York Youth Symphony Excel with Composers of Color
This is a fine album that I'll be revisiting many times. For the newer works, as well as the old ones.

Deutsche Staatsphilharmonic Rheinland-Pfalz is directed by Modestas Pitrenas. There are some standout solos by principal players. And the ensemble has a rich, homogeneous blend that well suits this music.

Alessandra Pompili delivers more Hovhaness gems
Alesandra Pompili gives us Hovhaness' vision in her performances. Her playing is expressive and fluid. An excellent recording.
