Something’s gone awry with Warner’s scheduling when they issue three violin-piano recitals at the same time (except one of them’s actually on cello). Something’s also skewed with the repertoire selection.

This album is pure pleasure, so much so that I feel guilty sharing it because the label suits will wake up and put him back in a catalogue box.

Jewish composers write violin concertos first, piano second. All other instruments are also-rans. This whole disc is a real find.

Did Daniil Trifonov and Yannick Nézet-Séguin just surpass Vladimir Ashkenazy with Andre Previn's Rachmaninov Piano Concertos?

In a year full of Beethoven, these workshop scrapings exert a haunting fascination. Vetter’s the one to try.

Rarely has music so accurately reflected a moment in history, projecting and preserving it for all time. Indispensable? That might be an understatement.

Johannes Moser and Alisdair Beatson offer a rare opportunity to hear both Mendelssohn siblings in one superb recording.

Lisiecki, as pianist and conductor, is a guide one would trust anywhere in the herbaceous maze of Beethoven’s barely penetrable mind.

Gugnin, a young Russian who won a piano competition in Sydney, Australia, plays at times maddeningly fast, just to show he can. But amid the helter-skelter there are moments of tender and profound contemplation that I need to hear again and again.

This album seeks out intimate silences between the instrumental lines in clarinet trios by Beethoven and Brahms.
