Two Gramophone Award winners, pianist Bertrand Chamayou and conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, lead off this week's playlist with lashings of fizz and sparkle as they give a terrific performance of Richard Strauss's Burleske - Pappano spoke to me about the  sessions recently for a Gramophone Podcast. The clarinettist Julian Bliss – who talks to Martin Cullingford in the June issue of Gramophone – is joined by James Baillieu for a beautifully shaded and nuanced account of Brahms's Second Clarinet Sonata.

Rarities come in the form a piano quartet by Friedrich Gernsheim, a contemporary and friend of Brahms (whose piano quartets are being paired with Gernsheim's in a new series from Audax). Finely crafted music beautifully performed by the Mariani Klavierkvartett. The name Svein Hundsnes was new to me, but this Norwegian composer (born in 1951) has a distinctive voice and a real feel for the piano, as his suite Shades of Light reveal.

From the Baroque we've music by Erlebach, Handel and Alessandro Scarlatti (a taster track from Kate Lindsey's forthcoming 'Tiranno' album), and we've a few intriguing arrangements, including a Grieg piece transformed into a delight for organ and nyckelharpa (a Swedish keyed fiddle).

And we've music by Robert Carl (born 1954), played with the style and panache (as well as glorious sound) that we've come expect of the Boston Modern Orchestra Project under their conductor Gil Rose (who I spoke to for another Gramophone Podcast late last year). James Jolly
