One major popular composer of Romantic orchestral music whose work, outside of his ubiquitous symphonic suite Scheherazade, is not terribly over-recorded is Russia's Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov. That, and a tendency toward what for him was an "orientalist" strain in harmonic practice and orchestration, makes Rimsky-Korsakov an ideal choice for the ...
Something of Vagn Holmboe's approach to writing concertos may be discerned in his numeration: they are not grouped according to the solo instrument (e.g., Piano Concerto No. 1), but counted merely as Concertos in the sequence of their composition, regardless of the featured instruments.

One of its most exciting projects, a decade in the making, is a cycle of the major orchestral works of cosmopolitan Russian Alexander Tcherepnin with the Singapore ...

But it is hard to ...
Listeners not familiar with the three previous volumes in Noriko Ogawa's recordings of the solo piano music of Claude Debussy may be surprised by the young Japanese pianist's staggering virtuosity and consummate musicality. The magic of her playing is in her precisely calibrated attack, her brilliant tone, and her nuanced balances, but Ogawa's ...
Recorded between 2002 and 2004, this eight-disc set contains the complete orchestral music of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. This includes works one would expect -- the Peer Gynt Suites, the Lyric Suite, Symphonic Dances, the Symphony in C minor, and so on -- works one might expect -- the Piano Concerto, the Holberg Suite, and the other string ...
