DCD 048 - Walter Ross Chamber Music
We're very proud of this edition of the "DCD Classical 'Cast." In this episode we showcase selections from our newest release, "Walter Ross: Brass Trios."
Ross is a composer living in Virginia (close to the world-wide DCD Records headquarters!) and I've known him personally for some time. A french horn player, Ross writes naturally and idiomatically for brass instruments. His chamber works for

DCD 045 - Boston Guitar FestThe Boston Guitar Fest is quite a prestigious event. A joint project of Northeastern University and the New England Conservatory, it's a week-long celebration of the guitar and guitar artistry. One of the high points of the Boston Guitar Fest is the juried performance competition.
One of the prizes for that competition is a recording with VGo Recordings. In 2006, there were two co-winners, but

DCD 044 - Richard ArnellCon Brio Records has released a new CD by the MusicaNova Orchestra, conducted by Warren Cohen. The performances -- and the repertoire -- were so compelling, I just had to give the release its own podcast episode.
The disc is the U.S. recording premier of two symphonies by British composer Richard Arnell. Arnell was a contemporary of Benjamin Britten, and shortly before the Second World War lived

DCD 043 - A Collection of ChoirsThis episode of the "DCD Classical 'Cast" we present a program of choral music. We start and finish with selections from the Seattle Pro Musica, a professional group active in the Pacific Northwest. Their holiday album, "Wiehnachten: A German Christmas" is a perennial best-seller for us. And, as you'll hear, their other releases, "Peace in Our Time" and "Alnight by the Rose" are of equal quality.

At first blush you might think an album of contemporary music would have nothing in common with a collection of baroque works, but in this case you'd be wrong.

DCD 039 - Piano 4-HandsThis episode of the DCD Classical 'Cast we explore the repertoire for piano four-hands. Some composers wrote for the genre for practical reasons; others for artistic.
During his lifetime, most of Franz Schubert's music was performed by the composer in a salon setting (called "Schubertiads" by his friends). It was certainly easier to get someone to play alongside the composer for more complex

This program features three different concerto movements from three composers -- each one resolving the respective roles of solo instrument and orchestra in different ways.
Mozart places the solo piano front and center, and the orchestra has
