The item was the Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 1 and the Janacek Violin Concerto (fragment). Although fairly recent, I can't remember any before February. As far as I'm concerned, Sony Classical took a nosedive when it fired many wonderful artists and dumped its Vivarte series that specialized in period instrument performances. Fortunately, other labels have come to the forefront such as PentaTone.
