Each week, PARMA has the pleasure of not only releasing powerful works by our artists, but also seeing the positive impact that these works have on listeners. Read on for a selection of what the press had to say about the latest releases from Navona Records.
“The frequency spectrum is clear and well balanced, with good transparency, extended highs, and convincing lows. Moreover, dynamics are more than adequate for the type of music it is, and because of the relatively small size of the ensemble and the success of the engineering, we get a fine sense of depth and space among the players.”
Classical Candor on Orlando Cela and the Lowell Chamber Orchestra’s THE SUITE.
“Scriabin’s earliest works are those of a bold individual who captures a broad range of musical characters. His powerful emotional and dramatic range is marked by a sense of wonderment, abandon and curiosity.”
Rhinegold on Russell Hershfield‘s ALEXANDER SCRIABIN: EARLY WORKS.
“The performance is very nicely rendered under the composer’s direction”
Gramophone on Rosśa Crean‘s THE PRIESTESS OF MORPHINE.
The Wild Blue Yonder by Eleanor Alberga from WILD BLUE YONDER featured on WCNY’s Feminine Fusion.
Demondrae Thurman featured on the front cover of Brass Band World for his album SOUND & LIGHT.
“I believe the bass clarinet lends itself better to these suites than almost any other instrument, other than the cello itself. I’ve even had cellists hear certain movements and tell me they prefer the way it sounds on the bass clarinet. That, to me, is the highest of compliments!”
Vandoren interview with Joshua Ranz on THREE CELLO SUITES.
“Conductor Donald Nally is brilliant leading The Crossing from musical subtleties to complexities. The Crossing’s performances illuminate their expansive musical artistry.”
the Whole Note on The Crossing’s THE TOWER AND THE GARDEN and A NATIVE HILL.
“[Faliks’] performances are solid here and the works make extensive exploration of the rich sound of the piano which is captured well in this release.”
Cinemusical on Inna Falik’s upcoming release REIMAGINE: BEETHOVEN & RAVEL.
Lotosträume (Lotus Dream) by Bun-Ching Lam from CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SOUL featured on Martian Gardens.
