CIMAROSA: Requiem – Valerie Gaball, sop./ Katalin Varkonyi, mezzo-sop./ Etienne Lescroart, tenor/ Roman Nedelec, baritone/ Choir de Chambre des Musiciens du Louvre/ La Philharmonie de Ch./ Jeremie Rhorer – Ligia
The fifth available recording of this neglected work is a worthy addition to the catalog.
GOUVY: Works for Two Pianos = Sonata for Two Pianos; Scherzo; Lilli Bullero; March; Fantasie for Two Pianos; Divertissement – Laurent Martin & Carole Dubois, pianos – Ligia CHABRIER: Complete Solo Piano Works and 4 Works for 4 Hands – Bruno Canino & Bertrand Giraud, pianos – Anima Records (2 CDs)
A pair of delightful two-piano CDs by French and half-French composers.
DOMENICO SCARLATTI: Stabat Mater; Madrid Mass; Cibavit nos; Te Deum – Ens. Jacques Moderne/ Joel Suhubiette – Ligia
I can think of no better introduction to the sacred music of this composer.

Some of the transcriptions work better than others, but kudos for originality of conception, virtuoso performances, and room-filling sound.
