the intensity doesn’t let up, but neither does the quality of the playing...Indebted to Bach and to Liszt, the Fantasia Contrappuntistica can be an impenetrable work. Levit’s approach is lucid... — More…

Recommendedincluding bonus documentary DVD
Barbara Hannigan (soprano/conductor)
Ludwig Orchestra

Lieder: Berg, Schumann, Wolf, Shostakovich, Brahms
RecommendedMatthias Goerne (bass-baritone), Daniil Trifonov (piano)
Goerne and the equally probing Daniil Trifonov – a true conversational partner – seem to conceive the whole programme as a brooding mega-cycle on the human condition. — More…

RecommendedGil Shaham (violin)
New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden, Sejong Soloists, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, David Robertson, Juanjo Mena
