Gramophone Editor's Choices - April 2015
The latest instalment of Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque's sparky Vivaldi survey heads up the list this week, with three other series (one newcomer and two established) also making the grade: Vol. Three of Hyperion's Liszt Songs project (with Gerald Finley and Julius Drake taking over on this volume) and Martin Roscoe's Dohnányi collection, plus the first instalment of the Elias String Quartet's Beethoven cycle on Wigmore Hall Live.
