As typical, the highlights of this month’s classical music span a variety of genres. There may be Baroque opera: Porpora’s Carlo il Calvo; two solo guitar albums, one with Raphaël Feuillâtre (pictured) and one from Zsofia Boros; a second quantity of piano encores by Piers Lane; and a powerful studying of Stanford’s Requiem. For these on the lookout for extra fashionable music, there may be Thierry Fischer conducting Messiaen’s Des canyons aux êtoiles… and a brand new recording by the Colin Currie Group of Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians. It is fairly the variability from which to decide on.
