Mandolin music of Italy, Iberia, and the Black Sea in Song of the Birds, and orchestral music by women composers in Breaking Waves. And albums focusing on works by Florence Price, Valentin Silvestrov, and Georg Philipp Telemann.
A particularly evocative group of releases this week features tributes to the night sky (and British women composers), dearly beloved family members, opera fantasies, and dreams. Plus, surveys of music by Johannes Brahms and Errollyn Wallen.
