Brief notes
Dec 23, 2020
3 minutes
Ed Bennett Psychedelia etc
RTE National Symphony NMC D257
This dramatic album of large-scale pieces reaches a transcendental climax in the title work, followed by a moment of calm in Magnetic for bass clarinet and prepared piano. (FP) ★★★★
Bernstein • Ginastera • Moussa
Violin Concertos
Andrew Wan (violin) Analekta AN28920
From the spikiness of Ginastera to the genial wit of Bernstein and the eerie stillness of Samy Moussa, this is a refreshingly imaginative combination of rarities for violin and orchestra, played with real aplomb. (JP) ★★★★★
Brahms Cello Sonatas etc
Luigi Piovano (cello), Antonio Pappano (piano) Arcana 475613
Good to hear Pappano back on the piano
