Jordi Savall, Montserrat Figueras & La Voix de l'Emotion
"Savall's wife, Catalan soprano Montserrat Figueras, died in November at the age of 69 after a long battle with cancer. This beautiful two-disc memorial compilation gives you the sumptuous length and breadth of her enchanted art, from Sephardic songs, pre-Baroque, Baroque, Romantic, Modern and postmodern repertoire all the way up to Arvo Part... The combination of her voice and Savall's ensembles was one of the great pleasures of recorded music in the past few decades." -Buffalo News 
2 Alia Vox Hybrid SACDs: 
Ferruccio Furlanetto In a Don Quichotte With Gergiev "Furlanetto's basso cantante makes a fine compromise [between Ghiaurov and van Dam] - rich but smooth in fluent French - and Valery Gergiev whips up the score more vigorously than either predecessor...Gergiev has excellent surround sound, and this new version comes recommended." -BBC Music Magazine 2 Mariinsky CD: 
Christopher Seaman Leads Vaughan William's London Symphony "The fine individual and collective playing of the orchestra evinced on this recording are a testament to what he has achieved during his tenure with them... The orchestral playing is supremely beautiful. Harmonia Mundi's presentation is excellent... Highly recommended - a recording not to be missed!" -SA-CD.net 1 Harmonia Mundi CD: 
The World Premiere Recording of Handel's Il Pastor Fido "Bates makes no attempt to address Il pastor fido's dramatic shortcomings in La Nuova Musica's world premiere recording. His love of Handel's instrumental textures is apparent." -BBC Music Magazine"The first aria brings us scorching singing from soprano Anna Dennis as shepherd Mirtillo. The third brings Lucy Crowe, vibrant as Amarilli, the nymph of Mirtillo's dreams." -The Times
2 Harmonia Mundi CD: 
Music from the Machine Age With Sascha Goetzel "A brilliant idea: to assemble five ballets from the 1910s or 1920s that are all supposedly inspired by the mythological past, yet evoke the violence of the "machine age"...The Turkish all-stars give hard-edged performances under Sascha Goetzel." -The Times 1 Onyx CD: 
The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin Presents Frederick The Great "The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin offers a chance to experience what his chamber concerts might have been like, in period pieces by court composers, with one of more than 100 hundred of the king's flute sonatas... CPE Bach's "Sinfonie No 1" is the standout, performed with gusto." -The Independent 1 Harmonia Mundi CD: 
Wolfgang Rihm's Astralis & Other Choral Works "This recording is impressive. The balance of the few instruments against the chorus and Rademann's disciplined control of dynamics are almost cosmological in nature. One is thus left with a sense of just how small man is in the grander scheme of being; and the impact of the performance is, to say the least, spooky." -Examiner.com 1 Harmonia Mundi CD: 
Marlis Petersen Sings Goethe LiederMarlis Petersen and Jendrik Springer have selected lieder from repertoire spanning two centuries, all centering on Goethe's concept of the Eternal Feminine. From Liszt to Trojahn, from Schubert to Wolf and from Schumann to Krenek, the music of celebrated and fascinating little-known composers rounds out a recital of consciously theatrical dimensions.
