RICHARD STRAUSS: Der Burder als Edelmann (Le bourgeois gentilhomme Suite); Wiegenlied; Zueignung; Four Last Songs; Morgen! – Lisa Larsson, sop./ Musikkollegium Winterthur/ Douglas Boyd – MDG
Nice readings that sound great yet fail to make the top grade.

MENDELSSOHN: Sym. No. 3, “Scottish”; Sym. No. 4 "Italian" – Heinz Holliger, cond. – MD&G
The “revised” version of the great Italian Symphony—but is it better?
* JOSEF GABRIEL RHEINBERGER: Organ Concerti 1 & 2; Three Pieces – Stefan J. Bleicher, organ/ Cäcilia Chmel, cello/ Musikkollegium Winterthur/ Douglas Boyd – MD&G
****** MULTICHANNEL DISC OF THE MONTH ******
