The Emerson Quartet's recordings of the late Beethoven string quartets from 1994 and 1995 are by no means bad or even poor performances. The Emerson is clearly a superb quartet, arguably the best America has ever produced, with a strong tone, coherent intonation, and a cogent ensemble. No matter how difficult Beethoven's writing becomes – and in the late quartets, Beethoven's writing can become immensely difficult – the Emerson rarely shows any trace of effort or strain, but rather sails through the music with its virtuoso technique. But a virtuoso technique is the only basic requirement for playing Beethoven's late quartets. What the late quartets demand is not just virtuosity but intellectual, emotional, and spiritual depth. And while the Emerson surely has the intellectual depth and possibly the emotional depth, it certainly lacks the spiritual depth..

Recording exclusively for Sanctuary Classics, the Lindsays’ extensive discography includes complete cycles of Beethoven and Bartók, and a series devoted to Haydn, Schubert and to 'The Bohemians'. In 1984 they received the Gramophone Award for their recording of the Beethoven ‘Late’ Quartets. As an enthusiast of the Lindsays, I have long admired their special affinity for the string quartets of Schubert. This four disc box set from Sanctuary Classics on their Resonance label uses previously released material and proves a fitting tribute to the ensemble’s art.

Jürg Frey and Magnus Granberg are two of the musicians who feature most frequently in the Another Timbre catalogue. So, when the label commissioned two new works in 2015, it was no surprise that they were the chosen composers. Performed by Ensemble Grizzana, including a stellar line-up of AT regulars alongside Frey and Granberg themselves, the resulting pieces were premiered at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival at the end of November 2017, receiving a prolonged ovation and rave reviews.

This debut album was rewarded with four Handy Award nominations.This was the first in a long series of releases by Chris Cain and still remains one of his strongest. The music is fresh, the songs truely original, the band performances solid, and both the vocal and guitar performances by Chris are on a level that few musicians attain after years of trying.Praises have been heaped on Chris by masters like BB king and Albert King as well as by next generation heavy hitters like Robben Ford. Chris is 100% the real deal and is one of those who keep the blues idiom alive and well.

These are the first recordings of late symphonies by G.B. Sammartini, ‘the father of the classical style’.
Although Sammartini laid the foundations of the symphony his works are virtually unknown. In Italy the Arcadia Foundation seeks to correct this. The Sammartini project set out to publish and catalogue the composer’s works. Another aim is to perform and record previously unpublished works, including the late symphonies. There are 68 symphonies attributed to Sammartini with certainty. Another 74 might be by him as well.
Stylish performances by the Accademia d’Arcadia on period instruments under Alessandra Rossi Lürig. These first recordings offer a most enjoyable and interesting insight into this unjustly neglected composer.

It is important to note that these concertos were composed by Vivaldi (1678-1741) late in his career. Do not try to associate any type of chronology to the RV numbering of Vivaldi's works, as this numbering represents a simple cataloguing. You might be wondering, what makes a "late" Vivaldi concerto different from any other Vivaldi concerto…
