Florent Schmitt release balances familiar with unknown

Maestro JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra do well with late Romantic/early Post Romantic repertoire. Their previous Schmidtt recording of Antoine et Cleopatre was outstanding. As is this.

Marcel Tyberg - A Voice Not Silenced

In a video promoting this release, JoAnn Falletta stated she’s fallen in love with Tyberg’s music. And her performance shows it. Highly recommended.

Fuchs: Atlantic Riband - Rousing American Music

The American Rhapsody for violin and orchestra is a more substantial work. It's elegiac, unabashedly beautiful music.

Suk's Fairy Tale has Happy Ending, Beginning, and Middle

Particularly striking is how well-recorded this release is. Suk’s music is as much about orchestral coloration as it is about structure. The Buffalo Philharmonic has a warm, inviting sound that really adds to the performance of these works.
