The Guitar History of Alirio Diaz = Works of TARREGA, LAURO, ALBENIZ, HAYDN, BACH, SCARLATTI, SPOR & Others – Tuxedo
For fifty minutes we remain enthralled by some dazzling guitar playing from an old master.

HAYDN: Piano Sonata No. 59; Piano Sonata No. 39; Piano Sonata No. 47; Piano Sonata No. 39 – Denis Kozhukhin, p. – Onyx
Youthful Russian virtuoso Kozhukhin demonstrates his tasteful prowess in the music of Haydn.

C.P.E. BACH: Keyboard Sonatas, Vol. II = Sonata in F-sharp Minor; Sonata in E Major; Sonata in C Minor; Sonata in A Major; Fantasie in F-sharp Minor; Rondo in D Minor – Danny Driver, piano – Hyperion
Having shed the “learned” affections of his father, C.P.E. Bach cultivated a “sensitive” and dramatic style that pianist Driver finds completely sympathetic to his own virtuoso ambitions.
"Hommage á MOZART" – Sonata for 2 Pianos (mvt. one only); Sonata for 2 Pianists; MICK BAUMEISTER: Ballade about Mozart; Vicious Circle; RICHIE BEIRACH: Fantasy on a Mozart Theme; LISZT: Reminiscences de Don Juan – Hans-Peter & Stenzl/Jazzduo – Ars Musici
All in all, it’s a surprisingly mind-bending excursion into what we think Mozart sounds like.
