Recommendations

Clyne This five-movement work is highly original, and I found Inbal Segev's performance and the recording stunning.

Farr A work of remembrance for the role of women in the First World War in a single span and often with a plangent tone, Sébastien Hurtaud's playing is suitably impassioned.

Lindberg As with his first concerto, No.2 makes a powerful impression in the expert hands of Anssi Karttunen.

Muhly/Helbig/Zhou Long This multi-composer work called Three Continents hangs together well in the capable hands of Jan Vogler.

Say The Turkish composer may be better known as a pianist but this is a very fine programmatic concerto which includes subtle use of birdsong. Camille Thomas plays it with conviction.

Vasks His second concerto called Presence is one of the standout works of the period. Beginning with an extended cadenza, there is then an allegro followed by a long-breathed adagio. Sol Gabetta is an excellent soloist in the premiere recording.
