Lovely playing here.
I have to confess that I have never heard of Gabriel Reyes. Nothing new there with me either. One for me to investigate further.
Hi Seán
He's a young Cuban pianist - now living in Paris. The light, latin touch comes through, even in the Mozart pieces.

It is a huge set Fergus. I think it's well worth having. I rarely listen to the symphonies or piano concertos otherwise I listen to cds from it quite a lot.
It is available for €69.99 on jpc. You may listen to excerpts from every cd in the set:

Antonio Vivaldi
The Four Seasons
Midori Seiler - Violin
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
Clemens-Maria Nuszbaumer directing.
Holy moly, what an ensemble! When they reach a crescendo they don't do it by half. This is fabulous. That said, I still prefer the Fabio Biondi/Europa Galante recording of the Four Seasons.

A new Naxos CD of music by Taiwanese composer Gordon Chin. His excellent and colorful Cello Concerto and very dramatic Symphony # 3 "Taiwan". The Kansas City Symphony premiered his Double Concerto (which the orchestra comedians dubbed "The Double Chin") and recorded it a few years ago for Naxos. Not well known out side Taiwan and Asia, but a really inventive, colorful composer.
You are good for something different every now and again Don!

Ah, I thought that it was only his chamber music Seán. I would not be interested in more symphonies or piano concertos at the moment.

Yes indeed Seán, I have a small amount of their music making and I also find them excellent.

A magnificent recording. I have, on occasion, reached for an umbrella when I hear the BPO storm sequence. LOL!
