Aronowitz Ensemble
Mendelssohn, Suckling and Dvorák on Sonimage. Aronowitz violinist Nadia Wijzenbeek comments: “This CD is all about playing music we love! It’s an unexpected combination, but they all fit nicely together.” The new work by Martin Suckling was specially commissioned for the whole ensemble of seven players and is “very effective, imaginative, evocative music.”
Irina Zahharenkova piano
Scarlatti Piano Sonatas on Classical Records (Russia). This recording follows on from Bach’s Goldberg Variations on the same label in 2010. “Beautifully sculpted pianism with plenty of colour, character and imagination. A very enterprising programme, too: a good number of the sonatas– all of them musically interesting - are relatively unfamiliar. “ (Rob Cowan BBC Radio 3)
Trio Mondrian
Ravel, Shostakovich piano trios on Challenge Classics. “This performance [of Shostakovich] has terrific integrity, blending bitterness and irony with the elegiac… The Mondrians’ colours and textures in the Ravel are luminous, with delicacy and gusto achieving a fine equilibrium.” Gramophone, April 2012.
