The pandemic has disrupted the lives and professional routines of artists all over the world. In the realm of classical music, it has been a huge adjustment as musicians wait at home for concert halls to once again fill with audiences who can safely hear them. New York City-based pianist Simone Dinnerstein, having had to cancel her concert season, found herself at home like so many. In June, with encouragement from her audio producer, Simone recorded on her Hamburg Steinway several etudes by Philip Glass, and the final piano sonata of Franz Schubert. They work wonderfully together, conveying "A Character of Quiet" that has become a part of our lives. It's a welcome sound to fill that space.

Dame Ethel Smyth (1858-1944), is arguably the most important female composer of the 20th century, and more and more, becoming established as a major figure in classical music. Yet despite the inherent quality of her works, the great range of genres (her opera, The Wreckers, was the only opera by a female composer performed at the Met, until Saariajo's L'Amour Loin in 2016), there are some works which have never been recorded. Her only symphony, The Prison (1930) has just been released in its world premiere recording (Chandos). You'll learn more about this remarkable woman - a suffragette, by the way, as well as composer and conductor - in my conversation with the recording's conductor, James Blachly. Both the conversation, and the music, are revelatory.
