Comment:The soloists are - Lenka Cafourkova and Gabriela Eibenova, soprano, Pascal Bertin, alto, Virgil Hartinger, tenor and Marian Krejcik, bass, in this third selection of Zeleka's Psalmi, some of which are World Premiere recordings.

Comment:A chart topping SACD of Vivaldi's Le Quattro Stagioni with Rachel Podger leading her Brecon Baroque playing one to a part on period instruments. With only eight musicians this brings out extraordinary details, in a warm SACD Surround Sound acoustic.

Comment:Here is an amazing collection of Concertos for 2 Pianos by mainly little known 20th century composers, any one of which would be a concert hall sensation. Joshua Pierce and Dorothy Jonas play fast and furious through these inventive, original concertos.

Comment:Nocni Optika (Night Sight) are Miroslav Nosek, guitars, Jakub Dvoracek, piano, Stepan Zbytovsky, flutes, Jan Keller, cello, Jan Dvorak, drums. Hints at unnatural behavior lay behind this album. Listeners will catch some exciting new Czech Jazz sounds.

Comment:With Szymon Klima, clarinet are - Dariusz Rubinowski, tenor saxophone, Jakub Mizeracki, guitar, Adam Kowalewski, bass and Jakub Miarczynski, drums. Their Jazz originals are inspired by Polish traditional music, plus their own melodies and improvisations.

Comment:Aurora Duo, Donna Fairbanks, violin and Lysa Rytting, harp, formed in 1991. Their programme, Fantasie, features several World Premiere recordings, and an extensive work by Saint-Saens that is not heard very often. An unusual combo of instruments.

Comment:Continuing its series of recordings made by pianist Nadia Reisenberg, Romeo Records have collected her performances of Haydn Sonatas and Variations made for Westminster between 1955 and 1958. Music and playing are marvellous!

Comment:Prokofiev's rarely heard Second Symphony has an extensive first movement followed by a Theme and Variations, his Third uses music from his opera The Fiery Angel. In Pentatone's SACD Surround Sound these are mind-blowing recordings!

Comment:Supraphon fill gaps in our knowledge of Martinu with his Bouquet of Flowers, composed in 1937, which draws on Moravian Folk songs. There is also the first studio recording of Jan Novak's (1921-1984) wonderful Philharmonic Dances. An essential disc!

Comment:Shostakovich's 5th Symphony is probably one of the most celebrated of the 20th century. It is paired with his 6th premiered in 1939. Its unusual structure appears to have no formal first movement. Superb playing and recording in this ongoing series.
