Berlin Philharmonic member Joaquín Riquelme and pianist Enrique Bagaría explore a century of viola and piano masterpieces, including spellbinding performances of Brahms’ Sonata op. 120/1 and Hindemith’s Sonata op. 11/4. Schumann’s lyrical and brilliant Adagio and Allegro op. 70 and Enescu’s virtuoso Concert piece complete this masterly performed recording.

The Belmonts are an American doo-wop group from the Bronx, New York, that originated in the mid-1950s. The original group consisted of Fred Milano, Angelo D'Aleo, and Carlo Mastrangelo. They took their name from Belmont Avenue, the street Milano lived on. There were several stages in their history, including the 1958–1960 period with Dion DiMucci, when the group was named Dion and the Belmonts. At this time Mastrangelo sang the bass parts, Milano the second tenor, D'Aleo the falsetto, and DiMucci did lead vocals. With Dion they scored such hits as 'A Teenager in Love' (No 5) but this was a short relationship & after Dion went solo, they continued to gain hits with such songs as 'Tell Me Why' (No 18), 'Come on Little Angel' (No 28)…
