Album of the Month
Sibelius & Prokofiev – Violin Concertos – Janine Jansen, Klaus Mäkelä
“[Jansen’s] dynamic control and ease in inhabiting the music’s mercurial mood shifts are consistently impressive. And Mäkelä and his Oslo players are with her every step of the way.”
Beethoven – Triple Concerto – Benedetti, Kanneh-Mason, Grosvnenor
“The thoughtful curation and enthusiastic performances makes this a fabulous addition to any Beethoven lover’s collection. The Triple Concerto is especially impressive and engaging, brimming with refreshing, youthful charm.”
Henselt & Bronsart – Piano Concertos – Paul Wee
“The curation of these two concertos side by side — one that experienced massive success and another which didn’t — only goes to show how passionate Wee is about encouraging exposure for what are essentially (and regrettably) ‘lost concerti’.”
Margaret Brouwer – Rhapsodies – Marin Alsop
“This is a wonderful collection of works from Brouwer (…) Alsop and the ORF ensemble do these works absolute justice in these readings.”
Mozart – Symphonies – Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen – Peltokoski
“boldly conceived interpretations highlighting the beginnings of a promising new partnership – I look forward to their next recording.”
“Avec Elles” – Mathilde Calderini, Aurèle Marthan
“Flutist Mathilde Calderini delivers a rich and warm sound across all registers and dynamics, with meticulously planned breathing that enhances the expressiveness of each phrase.”
