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.
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.
Richard Stohr Orchestral Music, Vol 3 Focuses on 1942
Ian Hobson directs the Sinfonia Varsovia in some inspired performances. I especially enjoyed their performance of the Symphony No. 2. The ensemble makes it sound expansive and symphonic, yet also thoughtful and introspective.
Juozas Gruodis Piano Music
Another exceptional release of music worth discovery from Toccata Classics.
Maria Rosa Coccia - Sacred Music from 18th Century Rome
Coccia writes in the clean, elegant style of the middle Classical period. If you enjoy the choral works of Haydn and Mozart, you'll find a lot to like in Coccia's music.
Richard Flury Chamber Music, Vol. 2 - Quartets of Quality
Highly recommended -- along with volume one. I anticipate the remaining volumes will be of the same high quality.
Balkan PIano Music United in Quality
This is a series worth exploring.
Reissiger Complete Piano Trios, Vol. 1 - a good start
The Trio Anima Mundi delivers some sensitive readings. They keep the music light and transparent.
