Three Hovhaness Premieres $8.99 $5.99NXS: Hovhaness
"The notes are helpful and specific - always valuable with Hovhaness - and add to the delights of this fine disc... I cannot over-emphasise how attractive this music is. Hovhaness wrote in the 1960s of the importance of identifying our own kind of beauty. These three works bear him out completely." -MusicWeb-International

Beriot Violin Concerti $8.99 $5.99NXS: Beriot
One of the most distinguished violinists of his time, Beriot was the father of the Franco-Belgian school of violin playing. His ten violin concertos display the youthful elan and high spirits of early romanticism. Beriot combined elements of the French School charm and taste with the new pyrotechnics pioneered by Paganini.
