The Solway Canal, Gavin Bryars.
Ralph van Raat, piano and Cappella Amsterdam. "These three works fascinate even if they do not involve. The Piano Concerto evokes something not far removed from Vaughan Williams's A Sea Symphony, only less storm-tossed. While delicate colouristic effects abound, it is a work of unhurried, dreaming whimsy. Van Raat is a passionate, skilled advocate." (The Sunday Times)
Piano works by "The Mighty Handful",
On his first solo recital disc for Chandos, Philip Edward Fisher performs piano works by members of the so-called 'Mighty Handful', a group of five Russian composers - César Cui, Alexander Borodin, Mily Balakirev, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov - who in the 1860s banded together in an attempt to create a truly national school of Russian music, free of the perceived stiffling influences of Italian opera, German lieder, and other western European forms.
The romantic violinist : a celebration of Joseph Joachim.,
"The major offering here is Bruch's evergreen First Violin Concerto, which Daniel Hope plays with cliche-free, heartfelt intensity. He radiates espressivo allure in Joachim's own Romanza and Notturno... The Joachim connection is fascinating, and Hope plays each piece as a music gem in its own right" (Classic FM)
Complete piano music. Volume 3, Douglas Lilburn.
This recording features Dan Poynton performing one of Lilburn's most renowned works for piano, Chaconne (1946), which explores the grandeur of New Zealand's South Island landscape as the musical subject matter and the composer's emotional response to the force of life he perceived in those surroundings.

Helix is a truly 21st century album.

The album features stellar performances by the New Zealand String Quartet, NZTrio and Donald Nicolson.
The complete solo piano music, Maurice Ravel.
Steven Osborne, piano.
Symphony no. 3 ; Divertimento concertante ; Concerto soiree, Nino Rota.
Barry Davis, piano, and Davide Botto, double-bass. "Barry Douglas plays with admirable clarity and fondness, careful not to upset the precisely crafted balance between piano and orchestra... Three very engaging works, then, performed with skill and affection, excellently recorded and with good presentation." (International Record Review)
Poesie : Lieder, R. Strauss.
Featuring Diana Damrau. "Damrau finds drama in these songs too...the songs that demand diamond-bright coloratura, runs and trills to affright a Zerbinetta hold no terrors...Thielemann has a very special affinity with singers. He also coaxes some fine playing from the Munich orchestra." (International Record Review)
