Gubaidulina Triple Concerto and Rejoice! Exceptional
Gubaidulina writes like no one else. If you're familiar with her style, know that these are some of her best compositions. If not, be ready for some real adventures in listening.
Collegium Vocale Gent Perform Near-Perfect Gesualdo
If you're familiar with Gesualdo, you should find this release outstanding. If you're not, this is a great recording to start with.

#ClassicsaDay #AltBaroque Week 2
The Classics a Day team offers a unique challenge for September. Participants are to share music from the Baroque Era on their social media posts. What makes this a challenge is to avoid the big names. So no Bach, Handel, or Vivaldi. (And no Pachelbel's Canon).
Daugherty: Harp of Ages one of his best
Bress is a first-rate harpist, and really delivers here.

These are major works created during a time of war and repression. And the violin concerto was recorded in a similar circumstance.

In this episode we explore Koussevitzky's gift of animating the music and musicians with his conducting.
#ClassicsaDay #AltBaroque Week 1
The challenge is to post music by Baroque composers -- but not by the Big Three: Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi.
Santoro Symphonies Revel in Brazilian Sound
I recommend this release to anyone not familiar with Santoro. These works illustrate the essence of his style. That style evolved. But his Brazilian heritage can be most clearly heard in these works. Looking forward to volume five!
