Ukrainian Christmas a Joy in Any Language
Among the many classical holiday albums released this year, "Ukrainian Christmas" is a real standout.
Seasons Greetings from Franz Liszt!
Wojciech Walczek has the chops to play Liszt's knuckle-busters. But he dials it back. We get a performance that's sensitive and warm. I'll be adding this to my classical holiday playlists.
Koussevitzky@150: The London Philharmonic and Farewell
In the final episode of this series, we follow Koussevitzky into retirement and hear is final recordings.

Howells and Wood - String Quartets by Puepil and Teacher
The "Englishness" of these pieces comes through without sounding cloying or artificial. Wood and Howells were masters of their craft. And the inherent beauty of these works is what the quartet delivers.
African Art Song - Uncommon Music Awaiting Discovery
Rebeca Omordia and her colleagues have produced an album of music worth exploring. And music that encourages further exploration. Here's hoping there's a volume 2 in the works.
#ClassicsaDay #Strings Week 2
