The Mexican Harp - Janet Paulus Showcases New Masterworks
The quality of Paulus' playing is incredible. The quality and variety of these compositions are amazing.

The Makris Symphony Orchestra directed by Jorn Fossheim is in fine form. Hjellemo's second symphony is a big piece, using an expanded orchestral. The Makris SO rises to the occasion.
