J. Brahms - Sextet 1 Op 18 / Sextet 2 Op 36 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Following the acclaimed Brahms recording in 2021, Emmanuel Despax presents his sixth album with Signum Classics Chopin Piano Concertos (chamber versions) with Chineke! Chamber Ensemble. InchChopin's Piano Concertos are among his first and most significant points of departure, a marked liberation from the constraints of an early but short-lived respect for custom and tradition... I would say that the exceptional nature of this Chopin recording lies in the combination of the chamber music, quintet slimmed-down version of the Piano Concertos complemented by a pianist who plays with an almost epic size and grandeur.Inch (Bryce Morrison) Emmanuel Despax has gained worldwide recognition as a singular artist, whose interpretations bring a rare sincerity and imagination to the music. Chineke! Was founded in 2015 by the double bass player, Chi-chi Nwanoku OBE, to provide career opportunities for established and up-and-coming Black and ethnically diverse classical musicians in the UK and Europe. The Chineke! Chamber Ensemble comprises the principal players of the Chineke! Orchestra. Album Tracks 1. Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11 2. Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21

Adeste Fideles Christmas Carols from her Majesty's Chapel Royal by Various artists - The English choral Christmas album has tended toward innovation, and it's good to hear that there's still a place for the traditional kind, with lightly embroidered traditional hymns, just ever so slightly wobbly, but utterly endearing, boy sopranos, and strongly diatonic Christmas compositions that are consistently and simply rapt in mood.
