Genova & Dimitrov Excel with Reinecke Two Piano Works
It's a rich and varied program, and the Genova & Dimitrov Piano Duo keeps things moving.
Florence Price: Songs of the Oak Solidifies Reputation
John Jeter leads the ensemble in some spirited performances. I especially enjoyed the concert overtures and the dances.
Carl Friedrich Abel Cello Concertos Nice and Light
Bruno Delepelaire delivers some amiable performances. Style galante is about simplicity and elegance. Delepelaire plays with delicacy and finesse.

Episode forty-nine of WorldView features four works by only one artist: American composer Adolphus Hailstork.
Kaveli Aho Concertos Receive Outstanding Performances
Elina Vähälä is an exceptional performer. This is music that she's internalized. Her playing sounds more like a monologue than a series of notes.
Michael Hix adds to Christopher Graupner Catalog
Baritone Michael Hix presents four cantatas featuring the bass voice. Accompanying him is a small ensemble -- two violins, viola, cello, and harpsichord. These are intimate performances, and they work well.
