This album won a Grammy this year (for best engineered album, but the performance itself is also superb. It's music by modern composer that doesn't sound too weird to most. Read the reviews on my link) I learned about this album when I was reading about Grammy reducing its number of awards, including some from the Classical category. This particular award seems to stay but the 2 best solo instrumentalist performance, with or without orchestra, will be combined into one. I guess the consolidation makes sense.
Speaking of viola, the Northern California Viola Society will be hosting a few workshops, at which participants will be playing a new viola piece together. Check out their blog for more details.
