When Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy's recording of the Preludes was first released in 2011, critics reached for the superlatives: 'In his recording of Chopin's 24 Preludes, Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy achieves a fusion of impassioned ardor and classical textual rigor... The best of Schmitt-Leonardy's Chopin adds up to a stimulating and compelling listening journey well worth traveling, even if you've heard these works hundreds of times.'

Not only acknowledged as a leading South-American composer of his day, Ginastera is also seen as one of the heroes of Latin-American music in general, whose enduring source of inspiration was Argentina itself: it's pre-Columbian legacy on the one hand and the vast landscapes of the pampas on the other. 095115188422 CHN10884.2 29293285 .00 22.99 .23 CHANDOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 01/29/2016 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/3/9/3/7/3077393.jpg 1 WAGENSEIL / COIN / ORCHESTRA LE PHENIX CELLO CONCERTOS & SYMPHONIA Georg Christoph Wagenseil (1715-1777) belongs, as his Viennese colleague Georg Matthias Monn, to that avant-garde of the 18th century, which replaced the instrumental music and thus also the then new symphonic genre from the dependence of Baroque dance forms and the musical theater. So they prepared the way for Haydn's and Mozart's later development towards fully trained Wiener Klassik". Christophe Coin and the Orchestra Le Phénix present the two cello concertos and a symphony in C major.
