Episode #79 of the "DCD Classical 'Cast" presents three works from a Troubadisc CD. "Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel: Piano Chamber Music" includes music composed when she was young, after her marriage, and the year of her death.

Musica Pacifica - Matthew Locke (1621-22-1677) - Suite from the Broken Consort (1661) I . Fantaizie II. Courante III. Ayre (Almand) IV. Saraband Recorded live at the Coal Seller's Concert in Palo Alto, CA Oct. 31, 2008.

With special guest Robert Mealy, violin and Peter Maund, percussion To view Musica Pacifica s original videos, please also visit http://www.youtube.com/MusicaPacificaSF. Musica Pacifica achieved recognition as one of North America's premiere baroque ensembles soon after the group's founding in 1990. They have been described by the press as "some of the finest baroque musicians in America" (American Record Guide) and "among the best in the world" (Alte Musik Aktuell). At home in the San Francisco Bay area, the artists are members of Philharmonia Baroque and American Bach Soloists, and they appear with many other prominent early music ensembles nationally and abroad. They have collaborated with such early music luminaries as Stephen Stubbs (lute/guitar) and Maxine Eilander (harps); sopranos Ellen Hargis and Julianne Baird; countertenor and cornettist, Michael Collver; bassoonist Michael McCraw, and Baroque dancers Linda Tomko s "Performance Today" and "Harmonia." Musica Pacifica's seven CD releases--Bach Trio Sonatas and a 2-CD set of Marais, Pi ces en trio on Virgin/Veritas; Alessandro Scarlatti Concerti da camera, Mancini Concerti da camera, Telemann Chamber Cantatas and Trio Sonatas, Vivaldi La Notte: Concerti per strumenti diversi , and Fire Beneath My Fingers, on Dorian--have won national and international awards, including the highest ratings in several CD magazines and each one being chosen as "CD of the Month" by the early music journal Alte Musik Aktuell (Regensburg). Fire Beneath My Fingers was touted as one off the most exciting Baroque recordings I ve heard on Audiophile Audition, and was a featured recording on Minnesota Public Radio. The Telemann CD, described by Early Music America Magazine as "superbly elegant . . . exemplifying the finest in historical performance today," won Chamber Music America and WQXR's 2003 Record Award honoring the best chamber music recordings of the year. The Mancini recording was cited as a "Noteworthy Disc" in the 2000 International Antonio Vivaldi Awards for Italian Early Music in Venice--the only CD that year by a North American ensemble to receive the honor.

Monument Records is a label dedicated to the music of Beethoven. But not just the standard repertoire of Beethoven. Rather, Monument explores the more unusual parts of Beethoven's output. Their release "Beethoven: Forgotten String Quartets" is a good example.This CD brings together a variety of mostly unheard scraps from the master's worktable. The Covington Quartet plays some sketches for string

"Die Kunst der Fuge" was Johann Sebastian Bach's compendium of his contrapuntal skill. The work starts with a very simple subject, and moves through an increasingly complex series canons and fugues. Brengt Tibukait performs this amazing work on an instrument of the period, a 1728 Cahman organ in a new SACD release from Musica Rediviva. Episode #77 of the DCD Classical 'Cast features selections

Episode #76 of the "DCD Classical 'Cast" has, I think a heroic quality to it. The Ensemble Pegasus, Tokyo is a wonderful collection of extraordinary brass players who, under the direction of Norihasa Yamamoto, turn in one thrilling performance after another on a new Musica Rediviva release. Appropriately titled "A Flourish of Brass," this SACD presents an aspect of brass ensemble playing that's
