Macedonian composer and violinist Mihailo Trandafilovski is a performer-composer in the mold of Telemann, Bartók, Joachim and Liszt. Like them, it is quite impossible to separate his compositional and instrumental imaginations, and he exhibits a swirling yet sold inter-dependence between the energies of each. His contribution to the violin is extraordinary; his violin-piano duos (sonatas in all but name), concerti, violin duos, chamber works and pedagogical works are gifts for audiences and players alike. Previous recordings of his works have attracted glowing reviews around the world. The mix of chamber and duo works here also, according to the composer, relate to his whole life journey and relationship with the violin. Top performers on the album include the Kreutzer Quartet, in which Skærved and the composer are the violinists. All works here are receiving their first recording.

THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 1 BONUS TRACK - 180-gram VIRGIN VINYL - LIMITED EDITION. An amazing live concert recording presenting the great Oscar Peterson performing in his native country, Canada. Featuring his classic trio with guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown, On the Townone is one of the best recordings of Oscar's discography.
