The program opens with Franz Liszt\u2019s setting of \u201cPsalm 13,\u201d<\/b> conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham and featuring tenor Walter Midgley with the Beecham Choral Society and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This work is included in a recent release that shines fresh light on Beecham\u2019s stereo recordings, restoring the vivid choral and orchestral color that made his interpretations so distinctive.<\/p>\n

From the Resonus Classics label comes a significant recent release devoted to Avril Coleridge-Taylor.<\/b> Her Piano Concerto in F minor<\/b> is performed by pianist Samantha Ege with the BBC Philharmonic under John Andrews. The album, which pairs the concerto with other orchestral works, continues the important reassessment of Coleridge-Taylor\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

We continue our ongoing exploration of the Shostakovich<\/b> symphonies recorded live by the London Symphony Orchestra under Gianandrea Noseda. This week it\u2019s Symphony No. 14,<\/b> a powerful and intimate work that focuses on themes of death and reflection, written for a small orchestra, rather than full symphonic forces.<\/p>\n

American contemporary music is represented by Raymond Weidner\u2019s \u201cFrescos \u2013 Suite for Organ,\u201d<\/b> performed by the composer himself and featured on Raven Records\u2019 recent album \u201cOrgan Music of Raymond Weidner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jazz meets chamber music in Wynton Marsalis\u2019s \u201cMeeelaan for bassoon and string quartet,\u201d<\/b> performed by bassoonist Frank Morelli and the Callisto Quartet on the Musica Solis album \u201cFrom the Soul.\u201d And we\u2019ll hear Benjamin Britten\u2019s Cello Sonata in C major<\/b> performed by siblings Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason, from their recent Decca release.<\/p>\n

Discover these and other standout new recordings Saturday evening at 8:00 on WHRO-FM 90.3, or online<\/a>, with \u2018This Just In.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
