Classical Music Highlights for July 2024

Brain BurstClassical Music Highlights for July 2024

The classical albums of note this month found our reviewers covering both the familiar in new ways and the unfamiliar. Among the former are orchestrations of Brahms’ music by later composers, conducted by Michael Stern. Among the latter is the third volume of Haydn’s Piano Trios from Trio Gaspard (pictured). The ensemble always includes a new piece as well, that reflects on the original Classical-era music. Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, one of the earliest operas ever written, is also familiar, but Stéphane Fuget and his group Les Épopées give it an immediacy rarely heard. Finally, cellist Laura van der Heijden gives us a new, attractive, nature-themed concerto by Cheryl Frances-Hoad.
