Even solo music, I would be grateful if anybody would name a few.
I tend to prefer the quieter stuff.
Follow Ups:
An enjoyable viola/piano album (mostly small pieces) of Ravel, Faure, Debussy, and Richard Dubignon (b. 1968 - and some of his pieces on the album were written less than 10 years ago - hear that, Rick?). Rysanov plays with impressive ease and virtuosity on his ungainly instrument.
Another album featuring Ravel, Faure and Debussy - this time with violin and featuring a combination of smaller pieces and a couple of sonatas (the Faure Sonata No. 1 and the Ravel G major). Although I had never heard of the violinist before, his (and Pontinen's) performances are beautifully crafted and really evoke the varying moods IMHO.
Come to think of it, these two albums should have been on my original list. ;-)
I still missed acquiring Trifonov's Liszt Etudes album, and I can't remember any other outstanding solo albums. (Vanessa and Khatia both had slight misfires this year - I sure hope Vanessa is done with her Stockhausen!)
Another favorite.
Plus this shot of old Bohuslav Martinů and his cat is a favorite of mine as well.
Thanks a lot.
Did you have a chance to listen to the new Naxos Haydn string quartet
pleyed by the Goldmund quartet, very very nice.
It's one of my favorite Haydn Quartets, and they do it very well indeed. And the engineering (I heard the 24/96 stream) seemed superb too, with the microphones not too close and not too far. Thanks for the heads up!
Listened to 77/1 last night on ClassicsOnline. Very nice. I'll try to get to the rest this weekend. Thanks.
. . . for the heads up!
As always, very nice list- Chris.
I'm biased, because the clarinetist is an old friend. But he really does a splendid job.

The Svarfvar disc really IS from 2016.
