Avalon String Quartet Gives Chicago Composers Some Love
The Avalon String Quartet present works seldom heard. And they're all works that deserve to be heard -- a lot.

Every track is a well-crafted miniature. And yes, there is a commonality to these works.

The Classics a Day team realizes that Cinco de Mayo is more of an American than a Mexican holiday. But it is an opportunity to celebrate Mexican culture. And so, the challenge for May is to post examples of Mexican classical music on your social media platforms.
Valentin Silvestrov Series Continues with Masterwork
Silvestrov is not just an important Ukranian composer. He's an important composer of our time. His music should connect with us all. It certainly does with me. Highly recommended.
Ronald Woodley Presents a Varied Program for Clarinets

Bruckner From the Archives Volume 2 Offers New Revelations
The two volumes present a variety of ensembles -- from a variety of decades. And all unfamiliar performances. These multiple approaches make the listener reassess Bruckner's music. Even music they've heard hundreds of times over.

George Crumb: The Final Volume
Bridge Records has created something truly phenomenal with this series. We have a recorded document of one of the 20th Century's most unique composers. This is an invaluable reference for anyone seeking to understand Crumb's music.
