BYRD: “The Three Masses”; Ave verum corpus – Choir of Westminster Cathedral/ Martin Baker – Hyperion
Three Byrd masses without parody movements.
MAHLER: Symphony No. 6 in a minor – Bamberger Sym./ Jonathan Nott – Tudor
A solid Mahler Sixth Symphony with fine sonics.
The Phoenix Rising = Works of BYRD, MORLEY, TALLIS, GIBBONS, WHITE, TAVERNER – Stile Antico – Harmonia mundi
Another winner from Stile Antico, this time probing the riches of the Tudor Church Music Project.
MAX BRUCH: Scottish Fantasy; Violin Concerto No. 1; Romance for Violin and Orchestra – Guy Braunstein: violin, Bamberger Sym./ Ion Marin – Tudor

WEBER: Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F Minor; Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in E-flat Major; Concertino for Clarinet and Orch. – Karl-Heinz Steffens, clarinet / Bamberg Sym./ Radoslaw Szulc – Tudor
Fine performances of these classics in outstanding SACD sound.

LEOS JANACEK: Sinfonietta for Orchestra; Taras Bulba (Rhapsody for Orchestra); Suite from the Opera “The Cunning Vixen” (arr. Jilek) – Bamberger Symphony/Jonathan Nott – Tudor
A fine collection of the very distinctive orchestral music of Janacek.
