    It won't happen. Ms Benedetti has one exceptional ability, which is shaping a melodic phrase in the sweetest way. So her current strategy makes sense and she is quite popular in the UK.

    His string quartets are very good.

    Here's an unexpected performance I came across that I liked. Six Concert Etudes for Marimba, composed by Peter Klatzow and played by Jisu Jung. I admire her technique.

    The name Simone Stella sounds familiar but I do not have any of her recordings. How is the box?

    Heh, I made the same assumption, but FYI Simone Stella is male. I'm happy I bought it and enjoyed listening. :)

    Stella is Italian (stella = star) and some Italian male first names look female to non-Italians.

    Well, it is like another case of Renee as in Renee Jacobs, whom I do not particularly like - my aversion to countertenor ... ;)

    Buxtedude is still better known for his organ works.

    Actually, his first name is René. It's originally a French name for men, though Jacobs is Flemish; Renée is the female form. René is a common name for men in the Netherlands as well.

    Very few CD's I have seen shown René Jacobs. Perhaps they are all for American consumption ...

    Mortensen is much better known to me since he made a number of recordings with Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert.

    What do you think about Kent Nagano's Varèse work? I saw there was a copy of the Apex 2 disc set on Amazon and gave my brother the high sign.

    I listened to the Violin Concerto from this yesterday, thank you for posting about it. It was interesting, I'll have to give it some more listens and the rest of the disc to see if I want to buy it.



    @Rose River Bear while you're here do you mind listing your favorite individual discs for Sibelius' first two symphonies? Vanska/Lahti and Berglund/Bournemouth have been in my heavy rotation since our last discussion (Segerstam/Helsinki set is on the way) and I am reminded of just how great Sibelius' early symphonies are. 2020 I'm definitely going to buy much more Sibelius and Martinu.
