composed by György Ligeti

Deutsche Grammophon's budget-priced, four-CD collection of all the works by György Ligeti in its catalog has many things to commend it, beginning with the title. Clear or Cloudy is a profoundly astute description of the composer's career, encompassing both the great sound clouds of his micropolyphonic work of the 1960s, such as Atmosphères, ...

composed by Richard Strauss

David Zinman and the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra's seven-disc set of Strauss' orchestral works covers all the greatest hits plus the usually B-sides along with a couple of bonus tracks and odd-ball choices thrown in. The first big hits are here, the libidinous Don Juan through megalomaniacal Also Sprach Zarathustra, plus the later hits, the massive ...

Swedish trumpeter Hakan Hardenberger is bidding to become the successor to Maurice André, and he is similar to André in his willingness to take on repertory of almost any period and deliver a convincing performance. It apparently occurred to someone at Decca that a collection of Hardenberger performances could double as an all-purpose trumpet box, ...

performed by Roland Pöntinen (piano), Torleif Thedeen (cello)
composed by Alfred Schnittke

This CD brings together five attractive works for cello and piano by Alfred Schnittke. The pieces, while demonstrating the stylistic diversity for which the composer is famous, largely share a tone of nostalgia, of wistfulness for what has been lost, or of anger at the fact of its loss. The two sonatas for cello and piano in particular bring ...
