String Theory 4: String Orchestras
Ever willful, Pettersson forges sternly lyric melodies in which every pitch counts. Typical of the composer, gorgeous tonal moments, usually cadential, emerge from dissonance.

Composer-pianist Olivier Greif (1950-2000) passed away seated at his instrument, where he was discovered days later. Despite his obscurity, Greif attracted first-rank interpreters.

Mostly Symphonies 15.
As Gardiner tells it, Brahms was not the progressive Schoenberg thought he was.

String Theory 3: Viols and Violas
What are the odds that we’d have two shakes at one Aperghis opus?

This CD moves on alternating fronts, music in Dowland’s sphere and readings from the Corpus Hermeticum, attributed in the Renaissance to an ancient Egyptian sage.

Mostly Symphonies 14.
Independently wealthy Gouvy wrote amiable, conservative symphonies while the rest of France dallied with operas and ballets. As one would expect, he had more successes in Germany.
