Silhouettes
by Justina Jaruseviciute
supported by 6 fans who also own “Sonata Op. 147, for Cello and Piano II. Allegetto”
I'm on my third listen and this album has real depth. Different passages keep leaping out at me, but I like the way it maintains a characteristic tone while being full of melodic, rhythmic and modal variety and even surprise. Really good. I wish I'd bought the CD.

Dmitri Shostakovich: String Quartets Nos. 14 & 15, Two Pieces Op. 36
by Prazak Quartet
supported by 6 fans who also own “Sonata Op. 147, for Cello and Piano II. Allegetto”
The 15th is my favourite of the Shostakovich quartets, and a deeply sad, haunting work. I've got the Fitzwilliam Quartet's complete Shostakovich string quartets, so this is, at first glance, a bit of a superfluous buy. However, the Two Pieces that sit between the quartets on this album are new to me and add a new dimension to the composer's chamber music. Also, on second hearing, this seems to me a more spacious and steady performance than the Fitzwilliams' recording.

When The World Was One
by Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra
supported by 6 fans who also own “Sonata Op. 147, for Cello and Piano II. Allegetto”
Difficult to name a favourite track, however if I was forced to choose an all time favourite album this would certainly be up there at the top. I'm in the UK but it was a friend in South Africa that introduced me to Gondwana. Absolutely beautiful album from start to finish, amazing musicians and composition both. Thank you, it inspires me to become a better musician.

A stirring set of chamber music from this composer from Berlin, which seem to capture hope & sadness at once.

David Baron recorded the beautiful, moving “Cycles” in New York’s famed Beethoven Hall, the perfect setting for his rich compositions.

5 tracks that will eat your soul. You can hear natural elements getting rolled up into a ball and eaten by field mice, only to be farted back out as one big colossal Italian kraut rock/ethereal blowout. Lots of space, lots of moments. Lots of grandiose psychoticisms, and devilish melodicisms... Good Menimals get let out of their cages... It's brilliant.
