Howard Wall - Horn Trios from Mozart to Piazzolla and Beyond, Vol. 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Among the 15 works in Vol. 1 we heard 8 world-premiere recordings, while Vol. 2 is literally brimming with world-premieres among the 13 works in Volume 2, there are 11 world-premiere recordings. The three artists offer breathtaking interpretations.

Violinist Elmira Darvarova is equally Inchat homeInch in Mozart (as a former concer
