Recent Releases No. 69 (CD Reviews)
[…] piano part carrying over unchanged. If anything, the work becomes more intimate, more intense, if not quite so rich in color and texture. For those who love the Mozart piano concertos – and I doubt there are many classical music lovers who do not – this recording will not only prove rewarding in its own right, but it will complement and enhance other recordings of these concertos. Highly recommended. Mozart’s Jazz Requiem: The Queen’s Cartoonists (Joel Pierson, piano, arrangements;Rossen Nedelchev, drums; Mark Phillips, clarinet, alto sax, flute, soprano sax; Greg Hammontree, trumpet, trombone; Drew Pitcher, tenor sax, bass clarinet; Steve Whipple, bass); Special Guests – Jon Singer, xylophone, marimba;; Samantha Lake, tuba (3, 6); Jen Wharton, bass trombone; Tatum Greenblatt, trumpet; Wayne Tucker, trumpet. 7 Train Records (digital release) Well, there are arrangements and then there are arrangements. Ignaz Lachner’s arrangements of Mozart’s piano concertos, for example, kept the piano part intact but reduced […]

Christmas disc round-up: from Christmas Matins in Bavaria & Nine Lessons & Carols at King's College, Cambridge to festive brass from Canada & the Wexford Carols
Daniel Hyde and the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, recording In the Bleak Midwinter in the chapel in December 2020 This year's Christmas round-up has something of an edge to it, many of the discs were recorded under the challenge of social distancing and the effect of the pandemic on child choristers who will have been deprived of the experience of singing in public.
