Annar Follesř (violin), Björn Nyman (clarinet) & Christian Ihle Hadland (piano) The young 2L label shows the tremendous scope of its activities in the six
discs released this month. All recorded in state-of-the-art compatible SACD
format, the repertoire ranges from Gregorian Chant for Lent and Holy Week, to
the music of Ola Gjeilo, very much a 21st-century post-modernist composerperformer,
and Arne Nordheim, probably Norway’s best-known contemporary
composer.
The Nordheim disc demonstrates the other strand in 2L’s release programme:
young Norwegian artists – in this case the Cikada Duo. There is also a live
recording of an excellent concert given by pianist Steffen Horn (Dussek, Grieg,
Rachmaninov and Prokofiev), and two discs devoted to young violinists in 20th
century repertoire: Annar Follesř playing Bartók, and an enticing coupling of
sonatas by Richard Strauss and George Enescu, played by Kolbjřrn Holthe
accompanied by Tor Espen Aspaas.
Attractive and unusual “book” style presentation completes the picture, giving
instant ‘eye appeal’. Certainly, all worth checking out. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 6 working days. |

Laurent Korcia (violin), Michel Portal (clarinet) & Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano) City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo “His recordings of Ysaye and Bartok make it clear: Laurent Korcia is an outstanding violinist. One of those whose passion and instinct just grab you from the very first bars. Just like those turn-of-the-century virtuosos, Elman, Heifetz, Ysaye or Kubelik, whose style, sound and vibrato were a real trademark, you can’t mistake Korcia for another. For this reason, he stands out among his contemporaries.” Diapason | | Naive - V4991 (CD - 2 discs) Normally: $30.49 Special: $24.39 |

| |  | Trio Contrastes
Stéphan Sylvestre (piano), Olivier Thouin (violin), David Veilleux (clarinet) The young and talented Trio Contrastes devotes its first CD to four modern works of lasting and irresistible appeal. From Khachaturian’s shimmering and exotic youthful work, to Bartók’s energetic and virtuosic Contrasts, composed for Benny Goodman and Jószef Szigeti, to Stravinsky’s seldom-heard Suite for violin, clarinet and piano taken from his famous Soldier’s Tale, and ending with the much-loved Klezmer’s Wedding, full of Hebraic charm and humour, by the prolific Canadian composer Srul Irving Glick, this disc displays all the expressive capacities of this wonderful, colourful instrumental combination. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
