Bach for Two - Transcriptions and Originals for Viola da gamba and Organ
Romina Lischka Marnix De Cat Qobuz 24/96 One of the albums above led me to exploring this label a bit more. This is a great album! Good sound too. Johann Sebastian Bach left us three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord. He made various transcriptions of the gamba sonata in G major, one of which was of the last movement as a trio sonata for organ. Several movements of the six organ trio sonatas themselves are also reworkings of previously composed material from his cantatas, organ and chamber works. This practice inspired the "Bach for Two" programme by Romina Lischka and Marnix De Cat, in which they have assembled the most beautiful combinations of viola da gamba and organ in both original and arranged versions of Bach’s chorale preludes and trios. Bach is a master of both the head and the heart. With text and melody as his starting point, he created small musical worlds in his chorale preludes for organ and takes the listener on the most varied of inner journeys. To experience musical joy, to find inner peace through every possible emotion, to be comforted in one’s search or sorrow, to be moved to the depths of one’s being - this is the art of Bach, the magician of sound. © Ramée

Yoshiyuki Funaki - Bass clarinet album
Qobuz 24/192 Music from Schoeck, Brahms, Verbesselt, Russell, Poulenc and Fukuda. Also this label (OMF) delivers interesting albums. One disadvantage: no booklets included.

Rip of the K2 HD remastering to CD of Arthur Fiedler's and the Boston Pops' late 1960's RCA readings of Rodion Shchedrin's percussion-peppered, Bizet-based Carmen Ballet, Dimitri Shostakovich's Hamlet, and Alexander Glazunov's Carnaval Overture. While the Carmen Ballet (also known as Carmen Suite) gets main billing here, I find the performances of both the Shostakovich and the Glazunov equally compelling. And the remastered sonics are presence-delicious.
