These are some new recordings that will soon be available in the States:
Bach's B minor Mass from Pearlman/Boston Baroque on Telarc - release date
is February 22, and the price is for just one cd. This group recorded an
outstanding Messiah a few years ago.
Volume 9 of Koopman's Bach Cantatas - 3 cd's as usual. The release date is
March 7.
Volume 2 of Cherubini string quartets from Hausmusik London on CPO - these
are period instrument recordings. Volume 1 initially seemed a little
restrained, but I'm enjoying it more with time. The release date is March
7.
Volume 2 of Nielsen string quartets from the Oslo String Quartet on Naxos
- volume 1 was outstanding and easily stands tall with premium priced
versions. Again, the release date is March 7.
Richard Wetz's Symphony no. 2 on CPO should be released by February 15.
His first symphony, also on CPO, was very interesting.
