  • Eivind Groven Symphonies solidly Norwegian

    Jan 6th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Eivind Groven, Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, Naxos, Orchestral music, Peter Szilway

    Norwegian composer Eivind Groven had a unique compositional voice. It was informed by his intimate knowledge of Norwegian folk music and folk instruments. Groven came from a family of folk musicians and was an accomplished Hardanger fiddle player. While similar to a violin, there are many differences. These differences form the basis of the music […]

    Jan 5th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, CPO, Federico Guglielmo, L'arte dell'Arco, Roberto Loreggian

    Giovanni Benedetto Platti was born when Johann Sebastian Bach was 13, and died when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was seven. Just as his life spanned the late Baroque and the early Classical era, so did his music. This release features four of Platti’s nine published harpsichord concertos. The works were written between 1730 and 1750, for […]

    Jan 4th, 2021 | By WTJU

  • Modern masterworks by Victoria Borisova-Ollas

    Jan 4th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andrey Boreyko, BIS, CD Review, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Martyn Brabbins, Orchestral music, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sakari Oramo, Victoria Borisova-Ollas

    Victoria Borisova-Ollas is a Russian-born composer making her home in Sweden. If you (like me) aren’t familiar with her work, start with this recording. It’s stunning. Borisova-Ollas writes deeply spiritual music, drawing on classical music traditions of the past as well as the present. And she’s an imaginative orchestrator. Her use of percussion is original […]

  • Mona and Rica Bard jumpstart Bruch double piano concerto

    Dec 31st, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Ariane Matiakh, Capriccio, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Max Bruch, Mona and Rica Bard, Orchestral music, Staatskapelle Halle

    This release features two live recordings from a Max Bruch Jubilee Concert. The recorded sound and the performances are first-rate. The Staatskapelle Halle directed by Ariane Matiakh has a warm sound that’s still richly detailed. The audience is so well-behaved that this could pass for a studio recording. For many, Buch is a one-hit-wonder. His […]

  • Florent Schmitt release balances the familiar with the unknown

    Dec 30th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, CD Review, Florent Schmitt, JoAnn Falletta, Naxos, Nikki Chooi, Noteworthy Release, Orchestral music, Susan Platts

    This release mixes Florent Schmitt’s most recorded work –La Tragédie de Salomé — with some receiving their world recording premieres. But it’s all Schmitt, so it’s all good. Maestro JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra do well with late Romantic/early Post Romantic repertoire. Their previous Schmidtt recording of Antoine et Cleopatre was outstanding. As […]
