All three concertos are very good, but I really like the Schwantner. Isbin plays the daylights out of all of them!

Magnificent playing--so colorful and dynamic. Excellent sound, too. (Fun fact: The Koshkin was written as a test piece for The Montreal International Guitar Competition, but many entrants couldn't play it, so that automatically narrowed the field!)

This 20-disc set arrived today. I played the Goldberg Variations and the Toccatas, He's a wonderful player and is very well recorded. Quite a bargain for $52!

A sonic delight, but also a musical one.
A winner on all accounts.
 
I just downloaded (24 bit/96k) FLAC files of an 8-CD set (9.5 hours of music for $27!), and so far, it's wonderful.

Wow, it's nice to hear contemporary music that is listenable without the composer resorting to new age garbage. Lindberg's music is still complex, but it's more melodic and a little less abrasive than in the 80s or so. Superb recording...the bass drums in the Concerto will give one's woofers/subwoofer something to think about! (It's an SACD...the image somehow omits the logo.)
