“Heavy Sleep” = Works of BACH, ANDRES, KURTAG, SILOTI, REGER – Bruce Levingston, piano – Sono Luminus
Very restful throughout; thought-provoking and moody.
“Nightshade Trilogy” = POUL RUDERS: Nightshade; The Second Nightshade; Final Nightshade—Capricorn/Knussen—Odense Sym. Orch./ Mann/ Yoo—Bridge
Dark and Cool Narratives Intrigue the Ear and Shiver the Senses.
SOFIA GUBAIDULINA: “Repentance” = Repentance; Serenade for solo guitar; Piano Sonata; Sotto voce – various performers/soloists – BIS
Very interesting collection of chamber works by this characteristically “dark”-sounding composer.
SCHUBERT: Winterreise – Gerald Finley, bar./ Julius Drake, p. – Hyperion
What? Again? Yet another amazing Schubert Winterreise.
“Wanderer’s Nachtlied” = SCHUBERT Edition Vol. 8 – Matthias Goerne, bar./ Helmut Deutsch & Eric Schneider, p. – Harmonia mundi
Could well be one of the finest such collections ever.
ALLAN PETTERSSON: Symphony No. 9 – Norrköping Symphony Orch./Christian Lindberg – BIS
This is essential for a study of twentieth century music!
