Pianist Su Yeon Kim (pictured) issued an exquisite debut on the Steinway &amp; Sons label with a recital of music by Mozart and Yunchan Lim&#8217;s Gold Medal efficiency from the 2022 Van Cliburn Competition delivers good performances of Liszt&#8217;s \u00c9tudes d&#8217;ex\u00e9cution transcendante. Popular veterans made an influence as nicely, as Hilary Hahn tackled Eug\u00e8ne Ysa\u00ffe&#8217;s Solo Violin Sonatas, Op. 27, and Kenneth Hamilton launched the second quantity in his Liszt survey. Those concerned with much less intimate music will even discover a number of inviting releases, from a historic recording of Wagner&#8217;s Parsifal to the juxtaposition of Renaissance music with that of the minimalist and post-minimalist faculties on What Remains by the Dudok Quartet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-s3.allmusic.com\/cms\/25974\/2023_08_Review_Images.jpeg\" alt=\"August Classical\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Aizuri Quartet &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003987345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Earthdrawn Skies<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nDiana Baroni, Ronald Martin Alonso, Rafael Guel Frias &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003885904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mujeres<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAshley Bathgate &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0004005428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>8-Track<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nNoah Bendix-Balgley, Canterbury Voices, Oklahoma City Philharmonic &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003955279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Jonathan Leshnoff: Elegy; Violin Concerto No. 2; Of Thee I Sing<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMaja Bogdanovic, RTS Symphony Orchestra, Bojan Sudjic &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003967072\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns: Cello Concerto No. 1; \u00c9douard Lalo: Cello Concerto in D minor<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nRichard Boothby, Asako Morikawa &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003989074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Music to Hear\u2026: Alfonso Ferrabosco &#8211; Music for lyra viol from 1609<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nElise Caluwaerts, Marianna Shirinyan &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003962340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Alma: Meine Seele &#8211; Complete Songs of Alma Mahler<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nCappella Amsterdam, Daniel Reuss &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003953028\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Schnittke: Psalms of Repentance<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nCapella Itineris &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003993322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Daniel Speer: Ein vierfaches musicalisches Kleeblatt<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBojan \u010ci\u010di\u0107 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0004054029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Bach: Partitas &amp; Sonatas BWV 1001-1006<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nConstellation Men&#8217;s Ensemble &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003961740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Man Up \/ Man Down<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nJohn-Henry Crawford, Victor Santiago Asuncion &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003987347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Voice of Rachmaninoff<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThomas Dausgaard, Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0003962358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Bruckner Symphony 4, second model 1878\/80<\/em><\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSteven Devine, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/MW0004038996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>J.S.
