JACQUET DE LA GUERRE, E.: Judith / Violin Sonata in D minor
Strum: Music for Strings
Mozart: Piano Concertos, Vol. 2 / McDermott, Odense Symphony
Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott's Mozart Piano Concerto cycle continues with Mozart's brilliant first original Piano Concerto, the D major Concerto, K. 175, composed at age 17. Volume 2 also presents two of Mozart's unquestionable masterpieces, the powerful concerto in D major, 451, and the ever-popular Concerto in B-flat major, K. 450. McDermott's Mozart Vol. 1 has been met with glowing praise, Donald Vroon in The American Record Guide writing of K. 238: "Her playing is better than anyone else that I've heard. It's so alive! It's as if I never heard this Concerto before."

REVIEW:
Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott is competitive in her performances here with the best of the considerable recorded competition in this repertoire. If she maintains this high a level of playing throughout the series, she might well be a first choice in this repertory. This is simply excellent Mozart artistry and thus highly recommended.

Grainger: Famous Folk-Settings / Montgomery, Bournemouth Sinfonietta
A fine instance is Green Bushes. Butterworth used a variant of this in his The Banks of Green Willow, but with Grainger it serves quite different ends in a well-organized passacaglia. The two movements from his Youthful Suite are remarkable for a teenager without formal training in composition, although it is inevitably the later scores which show the inventiveness of his orchestral writing. Blithe Bells, which takes ''Sheep may safey graze'' as its starting point, is gently iconoclastic, My Robin is beautiful in an individual way and here played with the sort of ''drowsy lilt'' Grainger indicated. And there is excellent work from Moray Welsh in the quietly rhapsodic Youthful Rapture."
