Yuja unloading on a track from the forthcoming Michael Tilson Thomas collab. Brilliant. Fascinating - is that composed by Tilson Thomas? I didn't know he was branching into composition. It sounds perfectly matched to Wang's talents. EDIT: there's just a touch of Ginastera towards the end of the piece. |

He's battling a difficult illness but working so creatively. www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/02/06/the-ageless-exuberance-of-michael-tilson-thomasI have the wonderful memory of being conducted by him as a choir member for Mahler 3 in France back in the late 70s. |

New from Christina Pluhar but something tells me it won't be a firm favourite of MikeMusic

A countertenor suits the music rather well.

Another attractive release from the busy Alice Sara Ott.
Martin, and others, might particularly enjoy the Satie here.

This is the Beethoven VC with a new recording from the young Spanish violinist, Maria Duenas, who is attracting a lot of attention at present. In 2021 she won first prize in the Menuhin, but is she ready to tackle the Beethoven at the age of just 20?
I note that she is appearing in a Spanish themed Prom this year, I might add that to my list and see what she is made of.

Right, I'm back in the saddle after a short break.  Heads up MartinT! A new Respighi trilogy from the fabulous Robert Trevino who stunned both myself and Martin with his electric Mahler at Birmingham's Symphony Hall.
