Tarmo Peltokoski (b. 2000) is the 24 year old "Wunderkind" Finnish conductor. This is his first recording with DG - spirited versions of Mozart’s Symphonies Nos. 35 "Haffner", 36 "Linz" and the ever popular 40 in G minor. A pianist and protege of Sakari Oramo, he has also included on this disc his piano improvisations on the three symphonies. Peltokoski was appointed the first ever Principal Guest Conductor of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in 2022. These symphonies were written when Mozart was 26, 27 and 32 respectively - just a little older than the conductor! Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Tarmo Peltokoski (piano/conductor). CD released May 2024.

An album of RVW choral works including the not often performed "In Windsor Forest", a cantata composed from the opera "Sir John in Love" (premiered in 1929 and also rarely performed). Five movements setting words by Shakespeare. Rare recordings of RVW's works Hymn-tune Prelude on Song 13 by Orlando Gibbons, Land of our Birth, Nothing is here for tears, Silent Noon, and also the much recorded Violin Concerto in D minor 'Concerto Accademico'. I haven't many of these before. "Nothing is here for tears," was RVW's response to King George V's death, and "Land of our birth" an homage to Britain's World War II victory. CD also includes RVW's transcription of the Bach Chorale Preludes BWV654 'Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele' and BWV680 'Wir glauben all an einen Gott' ('Giant Fugue').
