Yes, he did a NYPO concert a month ago of Nielsen 4 + Beethoven 5 and I think he's making bookings for next year. He has a really good recent Stenhammar album.

Wow!  Impressive.

Coming in May:

Also coming in May, what looks like a major addition to the discography of Bruno Maderna:




The selections on on this set appear to be different to those of the now hard to find Eötvös recording on Montaigne —which was actually made 10 years after this 1981 live recording now being released by Tactus—, but Hyperion was a work-in-progress that was constantly changing during the last decade or so of the composer's life.

Why is everyone releasing complete songs of composers whom I already have the complete songs of... and whom I like enough to be interested in at least checking out another complete songs? 

Seriously, that's 3 in the last few days. Faure, Barber and Duparc.

Hah! The Barber is of particular interest to me as I'm not completely satisfied with the Studer/Hampson/Browning DG set. I think the Hampson performances are brilliant, but I still don't know what to think of Studer. She sounds off-key to me as I've heard Leotyne Price sing the Hermit Songs (w/ Barber on the piano) and, though the fidelity wasn't the best, she sings magnificently. This newer set coming out on the Resonus label definitely will be a purchase for me.

More MAY stuff.
Todd and others have posted some but here's some more I spotted.



The Suppe piece "Mozart" is 51 minutes of incidental music to a play depicting Mozart's life. There is a bonus world premiere overture for Florestan and me to enjoy, reconstructed from the original manuscript.

The William Grant Still disc, all world premieres, mixes violin + orchestra miniatures with orchestra alone miniatures.

Carl Vine has written four piano sonatas. I've only heard the first.



Dubois - Dixtuor
d'Indy - Chansons et danses
Caplet - Suite persane

"musicians from the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin"



"Flautist Ana de la Vega's fourth PENTATONE album My Paris is a declaration of love to the glorious French capital and its rich flute history, as well as a trip down memory lane, featuring some of the greatest gems of French music history, including works by Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Massenet, Saint-Saëns, Satie, Poulenc, Mozart, Chaminade, Lili Boulanger, Von Paradis, as well as Bizet. De la Vega plays these pieces with verve and charm, full of reverence to centuries-old French flute-teaching traditions to which she still feels deeply connected and absorbed. She performs them together with the esteemed pianist Paul Rivinius. Flautist Ana de la Vega's presents her fourth PENTATONE album, after having released Bach Unbuttoned (2021), Haydn Stamitz (2020) and Mozart Myslivecek (2018). Paul Rivinius makes his PENTATONE debut."

How does Naxos decide when they're going to use their classic art design or full corner to corner art work?

Man, wish I knew  I actually like the classic design better.

I'm assuming the Taneyev set is these four CDs

[Symphonic Addict]

Not sure if it's been mentioned before:



Casella's Notturno and Tarantella also appear on it.

Looks like a cool disc, Cesar. I don't believe I own a recording of Malipiero's Cello Concerto, so I might end up buying this one.

Ah yes, I'll probably stick with the Naxos since it's probably easier to find. Thanks anyway, Cesar.

[vandermolen]

You would like it.  It's tuneful and dramatic.  Like something from mid 20th century soviet composer.  Not quite Prokofiev/Shostakovich in their way of encapsulating a style of speaking for the people, but more like Shchedrin or Schnittke's Symphony No. 0.

Thank you!

Interesting that someone is putting all the Vine piano sonatas together. The first is a complete knockout and seems to be his calling card to the world. I've heard at least one of the others but don't recall it as much.

Nice, this will be on my most eagerly anticipated this year; Bychkov recorded one of the greatest performances of Mahler's Symphony 3.

PentaTone is having him do a complete cycle with the Czech Philharmonic.
