Chartreuse is a beautifully blended recital of landmark violin sonatas by Mozart, Debussy, and Strauss. Violinist Jasper Wood and pianist David Riley bring two decades of musical partnership to this elegant program, pairing refined ensemble playing with expressive insight and technical brilliance. Mozart’s radiant Sonata in B-flat, K. 454; Debussy’s final, fiercely imaginative sonata; and Strauss’s sweeping early masterwork reveal three distinct worlds of color, lyricism, and virtuosity. Named for the luminous blend of yellow and green—and a celebrated French liqueur—Chartreuse offers its own memorable blend: three enduring masterpieces, superbly performed.
Stradivarius Christmas brings fresh elegance and jazz-inflected imagination to beloved holiday music. Violinist Jasper Wood and pianist David Riley perform sixteen seasonal favorites in inventive arrangements by Terry Vosbein, blending classical refinement with swing, blues, bossa nova, ragtime, and lyrical warmth. From “O Tannenbaum” and “Silent Night” to “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” and “Auld Lang Syne,” familiar melodies are transformed with color, virtuosity, and unexpected turns. A distinctive and warmly inviting holiday recording, Stradivarius Christmas is equally at home beside the tree, at a gathering, or in a quiet winter evening.
