Weber: Clarinet Concertos & Quintet [Hybrid SACD] (2006) more music like this

performed by Martin Frost (clarinet), Tapiola Sinfonietta, Jean-Jacques Kantorow (conductor)
composed by Carl Maria von Weber

The billing of moderately well-known Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst in last-name-only large type, above that of composer Carl Maria von Weber, may seem a bit presumptuous, but Fröst delivers what he presumes. This is a superb recording of Weber's clarinet music, which is attractive for its mixture of an extreme virtuoso language with Germanic ...

The Ultimate Most Relaxing Music for Strings in the Universe may look like a double-disc collection of popular short pieces and excerpts from larger works for bowed strings, but a substantial portion of the program is actually filled with guitar music, a fact not suggested by the appearance of a violin on the cover. Listeners who expect mostly ...

Mozart: Flute Concertos (2006) more music like this

performed by Alain Marion (flute), Auvergne Orchestra, Jean-Jacques Kantorow (conductor)
composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart's statements that he disliked the flute have to be taken at face value inasmuch as he chose, given a nice commission, to arrange the Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major, K. 314, from an oboe concerto rather than write something fresh. There's no shortage of recordings of the two flute concertos and the various shorter works for flute and ...

Shostakovich/Barsai: Chamber Symphonies (2004) more music like this

performed by Tapiola Sinfonietta, Jean-Jacques Kantorow (conductor)
composed by Dmitry Shostakovich

Aside from providing income for Rudolf Barshai, what purpose was served by his having arranged Shostakovich's String Quartets No. 3 and No. 4 for chamber orchestra? One could understand and accept his arrangements of Shostakovich's Eighth and Tenth quartets for string orchestra: the intention was sincere, the tone color was the same, and even the ...

composed by Camille Saint-Saëns

Ah -- smart programming. It's as satisfying to see as it is to hear. While smartly programmed live performances will often feature one work of wide recognition and popularity to draw in the audience and then expose people to lesser-known works, so do well-considered CD programs. In this case, the "blockbuster" is Saint-Saëns' Third Violin Concerto ...
