Berlioz’ most famous composition gets the typically excellent ‘Keeping Score’ treatment in this exemplary offering.

Beethoven’s best remembered mass is given a stellar performance by an ensemble and soloists who may be largely unfamiliar to a lot of listeners.

The early decades were ruled by sheet music in the...
In this super-deluxe version of the hoary favorite, the “yule log,” you get all sorts of fires to fall asleep to. I cant say for sure when I first stumbled across the yule log, an annual television spectacular (I joke because I love) which is broadcast here in the northwest every Christmas Eve. I will say Ive spent many years...
A nice variety of Schumann pieces is presented in this 2006 concert conducted by Ricardo Chailly and featuring the elegant piano of Martha Argerich.
