Avison: Harpsichord Sonatas Op 5 and Op 7 (Divine Art)
(Déjà Review) Recording quality (first class), performances and music come together in a wholly splendid way in this disc, one which advances Avison’s cause still further [JW]
String Quartets by Beethoven, Nordheim & Bartók (2L Records)
(Déjà Review) A shining jewel in 2L’s already richly studded crown [DC]
Schubert: Piano Trios (Erato)
The performances are lovely, which matters more than the fact that the musicians are brothers [ST]
Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé & Stravinsky: Le sacre du printemps (Pentatone)
The Ravel is all welcome grace and elegance but the Stravinsky lacks the requisite bite and wildness and emerges as disappointingly bland [RMo]
Schubert & Wallen: Song Cycles (Delphian)
A song recital that is more than it seems and which merits attention [WH]
Ruehr: Piano Trios 3, 4 and 5 (Avie)
Highly enjoyable, colorful chamber works that evoke a wide range of aural pictures. [ACG]
Glière & Rachmaninoff: Piano Music for four hands (Claves)
Forty-five minutes in the company of this duo is a delight, but the delightful twelve morceaux by Glière are the real winners here [SGa]
Ivanovs: Symphonies No.19, No.21 (Skani)
Late works by a prominent Latvian composer, in fine performances and recording [EJW]
