PentaTone: PTC5186095
Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto / Souvenir d'un lieu cher / Serenade melancolique / Valse - Scherzo
Fischer plays with technical abandon, but also with a consistently gleaming and poised sound. Her lean and focused tone shines with a keen-edge brilliance as she dispatches all the technical difficulties in this demanding concerto. - Courier Post Online

Chandos: CHAN10584
Halvorsen, J.: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1 (Bergen Philharmonic, N. Jarvi)
There's not a note here unworthy of your time and attention, even the tiny La Mélancolie, an arrangement of an earlier tune by Ole Bull. As already noted, Järvi is back to his old exciting, vigorous self, and the orchestra plays with total commitment and enthusiasm. Great sound too. A terrific release.

Ars Nova: 8.226050
Taverner & Tudor Music I: The Western Wind
Paul Hillier and Ars Nova Copenhagen offer Renaissance polyphony with reliable brilliance. The main work on this CD, Taverner's Western Wind Mass, is a series of brilliant choral variations based on a secular tune; it is fittingly interspersed with a selection of spiritual partsongs from the same period. |
Our Featured Label of the Week: London Philharmonic Orchestra -- Take 20% off the entire label this weekend only. Offer good through April 22 only.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra made its first recordings on 10 October 1932, just three days after its first public performance following its founding by Sir Thomas Beecham. It has recorded and broadcast regularly ever since, and in 2005, established its own CD label.
