    What better way to celebrate a new year than with a look back? In this case, the Classics a Day team decided to go back 100 years. For January 2021 the challenge is to post works that were completed in or recordings released in 1921. It turns out there was quite a lot going on […]

(Mexico doesn’t have a major holiday in July, but we decided to be inclusive).  In my posts for #ClassicsaDay I […]

  • Tasmin Little Plays Exceptional Music by Exceptional Women

    Apr 22nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Amy Beach, CD Review, Chamber music, Chandos, Clara Schumann, Classical music, Ethel Smyth, Romantic period, Tasmin Little

    Tasmin Little presents a solid program of late-Romantic violin works. As always, her performances let the emotional content of this music blossom forth in beauty. Little has done other outstanding recordings of this repertoire (her Brahms album springs to mind). She seems to have a natural affinity of the late-Romantic style. Oh – and all […]
