Bach: Freddy Kempf (BIS-CD1330)
Freddy Kempf gives a sterling performance of Bach's Partitas Nos 4 and 6. His intimate playing both highlights the strong structural outline of the works, while exuding the inner spirit of Bach.
Monteverdi: Il sesto libro de madrigali (Naive OP30423)
Following the highly successful recent release of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, Rinaldo Alessandrini reverts to the music with which he is so familiar, Monteverdi Madrigals. The first of a number of Monteverdi releases featuring Concerto Italiano, the sixth book is a portrayal of partings, from the painful to the passionate.

Eugene Ysaye's atmospheric, astonishingly impressionistic works for violin and orchestra find their perfect match in Albrecht Laurent Breuninger, the winner of the Prix Ysaye. Supported by the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, he performs with a keen articulation.
