Second heartily NYT piano choice; Leif Ove Andsnes album for Sony is gorgeous. Sibelius for piano is surely a discovery to make. Bought this earlier this year and have been happily listening to it repeatedly. Strongly recommended!

Janet Hilton (cl) & Jakob Fichert (p) - Max Reger - Clarinet Sonatas (Naxos)

Lars Gullin - The Yellow Leaves´ Love to the Earth

Like this one, too, especially the title cut. Wondering why "Rose Tattoo" has not been covered more frequently - beautiful song! At least Hubbard is one of the few who have recorded it (dont know if he ever played it live).

Henri Sigfridsson - Sibelius: Piano Transcriptions (SWR/Hänssler) This young Fin is a stunner, dynamic playing, gorgeous transcriptions, lovely music.: Among my piano CDs the one I´ve been spinning repeatedly and most frequently for the last months.

Robert Fürstenthal - Songs and Ballads of Life and Passing (Toccata) Somber, melancholic Lieder, great stuff, and there´s a life story behind it! Thanks to young baritone Rafael Fingerlos, pianist Sascha El Mouissi and the Toccata team for discovering this music and presenting it on a wonderful album!
