(Rachmaninoff) Hall creditably never lets bravura get in the way of the music’s message.” David Claris (Fanfare) “He nicely captures the wit and liveliness of the Beethoven sonata and much of the craggy grandeur of the Rachmaninoff.” Morin (American Record Guide) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |

![]() Michiko Otaki, piano Dmitri Kabalevsky: 24 Preludes, Op. 38 https://facultyprofiles.clayton.edu/faculty/motaki “In what may well be the first recording of the Kabalevsky Op. 38 Preludes by a non-Russian, Otaki shows the qualities needed to put them across, which include her rhythmic verve, lithe phrasing, and her warm tone. She gets to the heart of things quickly as she characterizes each prelude.” Phil Muse (Audio Video Club of Atlanta) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |
![]() Steven Hall, piano Johann Sebastian Bach: Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue “From the first bars of his opening Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue, it is obvious that the ride ahead is going to be an exciting one, and so it proves. …the Beethoven C-Minor Variations and a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 that rounds off the disc with the barns completely stormed. – among the best-recorded piano tone I have heard for a good while.” Martin Anderson (Fanfare) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |

That’s important here, for much of the music depends on nuances of timbre and phrasing for its effectiveness.” Phil Muse (Creative Loafing) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |
![]() David Watkins, piano Igor Stravinsky: Four Etudes, Op. 7 Robert Helps: Portrait Alban Berg: Sonata, Op. 1 Frank Martin: Eight Preludes “…his aesthetic is particularly appropriate to the music of Stravinsky … Watkins has a particularly strong affinity for Helps and Martin.” Bellman (American Record Guide) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |

![]() Ruth Slenczynska, piano Frédéric Chopin: Four Ballades, Op. 23, 38, 47 & 52 Frédéric Chopin: Twelve Etudes, Op. 10 Franz Liszt: La Campanella “Any pianist can be eaten alive by this music. The four Ballades reveal Chopin at his most technically complicated and emotionally demanding. Slenczynska more than meets their challenge. … Musically and technically this is a fine tribute to a remarkable artist.” Linkowski (American Record Guide) “Slenczynska had recorded these virtuoso works in the studio 25 years earlier, but the live performances are nearly as note-perfect, and even more communicative.” Richard Dyer (The Boston Globe) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |
![]() Songs of Vittorio Giannini Jeffrey Price, tenor Cary Lewis, piano Twenty-four songs of Vittorio Giannini on poems of Karl Flaster. “…Price exhibits a pleasant, … well-schooled tenor voice, which he uses sensitively, and he knows how these songs should be sung. …I enjoyed listening to him, and to his excellent accompanist.” Green (American Record Guide) Available for purchase and streaming at Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube |

The cello encore fancier will see some rarities here, and they are all quite nicely performed.” David K. Nelson (Fanfare). |

Krape: Choral Triptych John Weaver: Passacaglia on a Theme by Dunstable Jean Langlais: Hommage á Frescobaldi https://alanmorrison.com Recorded on the Schantz organ at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody, GA. “… the Duruflé and Langlais works disclose Morrison’s affinity and aptitude for music of recent French composers” Haig Mardirosian (Fanfare) “…his strengths are clarity, poetry, precision and coloristic sensitivity… But this CD’s greatest contribution is what appears to be the only available recording of Langlais’ haunting “Homage a Frescobaldi…” In an eloquent, deeply sympathetic realization, Mr. Morrison transports us to a rarefied spiritual world.” Derrick Henry (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) |
