Un virtuoso del nuevo mundo con musicalidad del viejo mundo: las grabaciones completas de Decca de JOSHUA BELL, capturando la primera década de la carrera del violinista registrada. Decca firmó a Joshua Bell, de diecinueve años, en 1986 sobre la base de cintas de concierto hechas en privado. Bell había tomado un violín por primera vez a la edad de cuatro años, pero había estado tomando el instrumento en serio durante menos de una década. Su musicalidad y aptitud técnica fueron nutridas y entrenadas por Josef Gingold, un alumno de Eugène Ysaÿe.

This set of recordings from the vaults of the Decca and Philips labels has an advantage over other samplers of the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in that it gives listeners complete multimovement works, not just a single movement or an excerpt of a movement. On the other hand, because of this, the number of works presented is by necessity much smaller than other compilations. Rest assured, though, that the producers selected the best of the best of Mozart's compositions. The symphonies are represented by No. 40 and No. 41 on the first disc of the set, with Georg Solti conducting the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
The Brazilian pianist, Jean Louis Steuerman, was born in into a musical family. He began his studies at the age of four and made his debut with the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra when he was just fourteen (Rio de Janero, September 15, 1963). He first came to Europe after winning a scholarship to the Naples Conservatory in 1967. In 1972 he won the 2nd Prize at the J.S. Bach Competition in Leipzig and quickly gained recognition throughout Europe as a soloist and recitalist.
This four-disc Ondine set collects the complete concertos of Einojuhani Rautavaara. While these 12 works may not make the best argument for the Finnish post-modernist's status as a great composer – his eight symphonies surely make good that claim – they certainly make the best argument for his status as an amazingly effective, astoundingly diverse, and wonderfully individualistic composer. The works themselves are all from Rautavaara's wide-ranging maturity.
