Miklos Rozsa: Sinfonia concertante
Gregor Buhl directs the Deutsche Staatsphilharmoni Rheinland-Pfalz. Their playing is disciplined with a concentrated power that matches the soloists.
Les Kapsber’girls — Vox Feminae
These works are not presented as academic curiosities. This is a program filled with exciting and engaging performances.
Arnold Rosner’s Music for Wind Band: Bold and Unfiltered
Density512 is a first-rate ensemble, dedicated to contemporary music. They play with commitment, expression, and enthusiasm. Arnold Rosner was truly a unique composer with a voice all his own.
The Last Rose: Mysterious Music on Silent Instruments Reborn
Even if you have a large collection of early music, you should add "The Last Rose" to your collection. And if you're starting your exploration of this genre, "The Last Rose" is a great choice as well.
Violina Petrychenko Champions Ukrainian Masters
This album presents two world premiere recordings. And what wonderful additions to the repertoire they are.
The Timeless Sequences of the Liber ymnorum
The performances are excellent. This is serene, contemplative music designed to enhance worship -- or at least thoughts of the Divine. It succeeds.
Derek Scott’s Dance Suites: Defying Academia
Scott's Dance Suites may be frowned on by academia, but they brought a smile to my face.
Theodore Dubois: A Romantic Voice Rediscovered
If you enjoy the music of French masters such as Massenet and Saint-Saens, give Dubois a listen. It's music worth exploring.
Anatoly Alexandrov’s Landmark Piano Sonatas
Divine Art sequences the sonatas in chronological order. And that's a great way to listen to them (at least initially). It's easy to hear the development of Alexandrov's compositional skill. And at the same time hear the spiritual foundations that tie these works together.
