New Releases

Pretty sure the Benjamin Concertino turned up on an old Everest LP........

I'm sure you are right. I once had that Everest LP.

58 discs worth hearing.





Sure to be one of the best album covers of the year.

Yeah! Thanks for this.

Banegas going Bananas !

[JBS]

I can't find a postable image, but Rinaldo Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano are releasing a recording next month of Vivaldi--L'Estro Armonico--and Bach--the various transcriptions for organ and keyboard of Vivaldi's concertos.

Good catch, Roy. I've enjoyed his Oboe Concerto and Symphonies 1 and 4 in the past. Glad to have these too. He wrote me a very warm email some years ago, which has always left a positive impression on me.

[kyjo]

Nice! I enjoy his music a lot.

[Todd]

I'll take it!

[JBS]

I'll take it!

The Baiba Skride goes in the shopping cart...but that cover photo of the Haas Quartet is a bit wierd.
Two guest artists (I suppose*) face the camera while PHQ unanimously turns their backs to them and instead stares out the window...a bit rude, I should think.

(*if that's Giltburg--he seems to have fattened up from previous cover pictures)

Guest performer Nikl is far left (and of course was the PHQ's original violist) and Giltburg is the rightmost male. The other fella staring forward is the cellist (and seated 1st violinist's husband).

+1 for Ross Edwards - especially the very moving Symphony No.4.

Definitely extremely interesting, it caught my eye too.

😳
He seems even more totally different than I thought!

Thanks for the correction.

MAY

Can I just say...this month's releases are really exciting. Kopatchinskaja plays Antheil? A new set of the Ravel Prix de Rome cantatas? Heidelberg Haydn? A really cool piano recital from Can Cakmur? The May releases just keep on giving. Plus the Baiba Skride and Pavel Haas Quartet albums that Todd already posted. Also, the Bach Brandenburgs with Collegium 1704 are Blu-Ray live performances (or DVD if you prefer that format).










This is a box set of all of Trio Zimmermann's recordings so far, in case you don't have them (Mozart, Beethoven, Schoenberg, Hindemith, Bach).



This piano recital looks likely to be GMG's hivemind pick of the month.

[Todd]

This may have potential, and that Zimmermann box looks rather enticing.  A post-Covid recording and reissue boom?

[JBS]

Don't overlook the Guarnieri.

And I am sure Harry is not the only GMGer who will be interested in the Pejacevic.

[Madiel]

I did not see the Ravel cantatas coming. If I had, I could have potentially saved all the angst I had tracking down the 2 discs needed to cover that repertoire!

More Pejacevic recordings is also nice to see.

[Harry]

Don't overlook the Guarnieri.

And I am sure Harry is not the only GMGer who will be interested in the Pejacevic.

Your right, I have this already on my order list, just for the gorgeous picture this is worth acquiring  But seriously, a SACD release, a fine orchestra plus conductor, I expect much!
I am much surprised though that Chandos found it a worthwhile project, and hopefully this will not be a one off.
