The Magics of Music + Castelfranco Veneto Recital (2015)
Two terrific film portraits of musical genius Daniil Trifonov.
Poldi Mildner, piano = SCHUBERT: Fantasie in C, “Wanderer”; CHOPIN: Piano Sonata No. 2, “Funeral March”; LISZT: Sonata in B Minor; DEBUSSY: Estampes – Poldi Mildner, p. – MeloClassic
MeloClassic scores another triumph of historical keyboard restoration with an artist we must reckon among the formerly unsung titans of her art.
Ida Haendel – Prague Recordings 1957-1965 = Supraphon (5 CDs)
Supraphon’s generous tribute to Polish violin virtuoso Ida Haendel restores her Prague recordings and appearances, many of them superlative readings.
SERENA WANG – Dances of the Dolls [TrackList follows] – Serena Wang, piano – Channel Classics of China
A pleasant collection of music that is not a benchmark in sound or performance.
BRITTEN: Var. on a Theme of Frank Bridge; Lachrymae; Elegy for Strings; Simple Symphony; 2 Portraits – Camerata Nordica/ Terje Tønnesen – BIS
Well-played Britten with a world premier selection.
Brittni Paiva – Living Ukulele
Documentary on 23 year old ukulele virtuoso is revelatory.
