Contemporary Music

Spring Forward

David Shifrin, the Miró, Dover, and Jasper String Quartet’s present Spring Forward: Music for Clarinet and String Quartet featuring music by Peter Schickele, Richard Danielpour, and Aaron Jay Kernis.

“everyone involved in the entire project deserves accolades for their performances.… a rewarding experience of three composers all of whom have produced thoroughly engaging and contrasting works.”

—Steve Arloff, MusicWeb International

Vocal Music

Ritorna Vincitor!

Prepare for endless delight and intense emotional stimulation as you listen to soprano Veronika Dzhieova’s marvelous collection of her favorite Italian arias, with wonderful support from the GRAMMY®-nominated team of Constantine Orbelian— “the singer’s dream collaborator” (Opera News)— and his superb Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra.

“plenty of bang for your buck in this high-voltage recital by a rising soprano… It’s hard to argue with her impressive weaponry”

—Neil Fisher, Gramophone Magazine

Choral Music

Verdi: Messa da Requiem – In Memory of Dmitri Hvorostovsky

In the wake of the beloved Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s untimely passing in November 2017, tributes, memorials and musical event dedications have flowed non-stop. But none thus far has matched the sheer scope, power and sonic splendor of this all-Russian performance of Verdi’s blockbuster Requiem Mass.

“a magnificent setting, choral singing and orchestral performance of spirituality and drama under conductor Yuri Temirkanov, it has much to admire in a very competitive market of this work.”

—Robert Farr, MusicWeb International
