Reference Recordings

  • Jonathan Leshnoff Symphony 3 beautiful and inspiring

    Jun 21st, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Jonathan Leshnoff, Joyce Yang, Kanasas City Symphony, Michael Stern, Noteworthy Release, Reference Recordings, SACD, Stephen Powell

    The horrors of the First World War were not lost on the artists who survived it. Works written immediately after to commemorate the event were generally quiet, contemplative pieces.

    Feb 11th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Adam Schoenberg, CD Review, Classical piano, contemporary classical music, Genevieve Feiwen Lee, James Matheson, Nadia Shpachenko, Peter Yates, Reference Recordings, Tom Flaherty

    Pianist Nadia Shpachenko commissioned four composers to write music for her. But they weren’t just any four composers, and it wasn’t just for any reason. To usher in the new era (according to the Mayan calendar), Shpachenko asked four close friends to write works that would represent a new look at piano literature. Although the […]
