New Releases for Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Vocal Recital: Hvorostovsky, Dmitri - Tchaikovsky, P.I. / Mussorgsky, M.P. / Taneyev, S.I. (In this moonlit night)
Ondine: ODE1216-2

This second release by star baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky for Ondine features Russian Lieder by Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and Taneyev. Dmitri Hvorostovsky is recognized as one of the leading and most charismatic baritones of our time, performing internationally at such opera houses as the New York Met, and partnering regularly with singers Renée Fleming and Jonas Kaufmann.

Other Featured New Releases:

	Bartok, B.: Violin and Piano Works, Vol. 2 (Ehnes, Armstrong) - Violin Sonatas, BB 28, 124 / Hungarian Folksongs Chandos: CHAN10752 Volume 2 of James Ehnes's survey of Bartók's chamber music for violin and piano includes the folk-inspired Sonata for solo violin, a very challenging work originally written for Yehudi Menuhin. The Strad commented: 'Thrilling Bartók from a player who triumphed in the composer's concertos... James Ehnes weaves Bartók's extended lines like spells.'

	Mozart, W.A.: Piano Concertos Nos. 13 and 14 (chamber version) / Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Fialkowska, Chamber Players of Canada) ATMA Classique: ACD22532 Two rarely-heard Mozart concertos from Janina Fialkowska and trans-Canadian all-stars The Chamber Players of Canada. Bravo.

	Gliere, R.: Duets with Cello (Complete) - 8 Pieces, Op. 39 / Ballad / 10 Duos / 12 Pieces, Op. 51 (Rummel, Eichhorn, Hulshoff, Korber) Naxos: 8.572713 Reinhold Gliere's astonishingly inventive melodic gift is fully on display in these contributions to the cello repertoire; from the folk melodies in 12 Album Leaves for cello and piano to the orchestral sonorities found in these rare cycles for two cellos.
