One question I’m frequently asked is for my recommendations for recordings. And at this time of year, many of us are seeking ideas for gift-giving, too, so I started the annual Sunday Baroque Holiday Gift List. I choose some of the outstanding recent recording releases that I want you to know about — some are new recordings of famous and beloved works, and some are by less well-known composers. They are ALL top-notch performers, and it’s great listening even if the only “gift” is the gift you give yourself time to listen. In addition to hearing these fine recordings on the weekly Sunday Baroque program, today’s Beautiful Music features highlights from one of my gift list suggestions: violinist Rachel Podger’s TUTTA SOLA recording of solo violin works. There’s also a link to the SB Holiday Gift list below.
