Some great new classical music has been added to the collection lately! The reigning theme is: fresh takes on tradition. Check out some of the great possibilities below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bach Cello Suites vol. 2 (arranged for guitar)<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Jeffrey McFadden takes some of the most famous classical cello music ever written and puts a new twist on it – arrangement for guitar. In a new medium, the full harmonic complexity of the composition is on display, making this a worthy addition to the recordings of these pieces. Volume 1 coming soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Art of the Mandolin<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Avi Avital is definitely not something you see every day – an album comprised entirely of works written for the mandolin! Drawing from famous composers like Vivaldi and Beethoven, as well as contemporary composers including the performer himself, the album celebrates the mandolin in its unique glory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Debussy & Ravel with the London Symphony Orchestra<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>explores mystery, fantasy, and stirring odysseys through the work of two composers: Ravel, who explores his Spanish heritage in the Rapsodie espagnole, and Debussy, who creates mystic, free, and wild worlds in the Prelude de L’apres-midi d’un faune and La mer. Discover the subtleties and nuance of classical compositions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Time<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Jess Gillam is the second album by the award-winning saxophonist, following 2019’s Rise<\/a>. This album strives to emulate and evoke the rising and falling energies over the course of a day, and echoes a wide variety of styles and influences. It promises an immersive sound experience and a time for reflection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not Our First Goat Rodeo<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Stuart Duncan edges into the world of classical crossover, with chamber music melding with country, folk, and blues. This light-hearted ensemble features the cello stylings of Yo-Yo Ma, and promises a boundary-breaking good time. It’s a follow-up to the 2011 album Goat Rodeo Sessions<\/a>, also available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>John Williams in Vienna<\/a><\/strong><\/em> with the Wiener Philharmonic takes the classic soundtrack music of John Williams, and sets it in the stirring instrumentals of a philharmonic orchestra. Take an emotional and nostalgic journey with this star-studded program! Includes music of Indiana Jones, E.T., Luke Skywalker, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
