Review by Francesca Gonzales

The album "Harpsichord Concerto Ballade For Trombone Orchestra Ballade For Piano Orchestra" by Frank Martin is a beautiful collection of classical pieces that showcases the composer's mastery of orchestration and melody. The album features two major compositions: the "Harpsichord Concerto" and the "Ballade For Trombone Orchestra" and "Ballade For Piano Orchestra".

The "Harpsichord Concerto" is a stunning piece that blends the Baroque style of the harpsichord with Martin's modern compositional techniques. The soloist, Andreas Staier, delivers a virtuosic performance that perfectly captures the intricate and complex nature of the piece. The orchestra, conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado, provides a beautiful accompaniment that balances perfectly with the harpsichord.

The two ballades on the album, "Ballade For Trombone Orchestra" and "Ballade For Piano Orchestra", are both beautiful and haunting pieces that showcase Martin's ability to create emotional depth through his music. The trombone soloist, Jörgen van Rijen, delivers a beautiful and expressive performance that perfectly captures the melancholic and introspective nature of the piece. The piano soloist, Javier Perianes, also delivers an outstanding performance that captures the nuances and subtleties of the music.
