The remaining m�lodies demonstrate the maturation of Widor's style in different ways. 747313234578 NXS8572345.2 15101655 .00 19.99 .19 NAXOS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 06/29/2010 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/5/5/8/7/1657855.jpg 5 KWAK / MARTINU / DORATI / HOLLIGER / GORITZKI CONCERTO FOR OBOE & SMALL ORCHESTRA / SONATA FOR 760623158662 MDGE9031586SACD 14928505 .00 24.99 .23 MDG SUPER-AUDIO CD CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL & SYMPHONIC 04/06/2010 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/2/2/7/8/1628722.jpg 17 JANACEK / BRNO PHILHARMONIC ORCH / HRUSA LACHIAN DANCES / SUITE FROM OPERA THE CUNNING 099925392321 SPP3923.2 14155253 .00 23.99 .20 SUPRAPHON COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL OPERA / OPERETTA / ORATORIO 11/25/2008 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/7/5/1/2/1452157.jpg 4 RACHMANINOFF / COPE,DAVID / HARRIS / MARSHALL WITH EXPERIMENTS IN MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE 044747288826 CAV2888.2 14156212 .00 18.99 .20 CENTAUR COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 11/25/2008 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/4/7/1/2/1452174.jpg 5 GRIEG / POMPA-BALDI WORKS FOR PIANO 8 044747289526 CAV2895.2 14156243 .00 18.99 .20 CENTAUR COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 11/25/2008 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/5/7/1/2/1452175.jpg 17 GOPLERUD / CONSTANTINIDES / MONDS / SANDOZ / MANN VIGNETTES FROM MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE 044747294223 CAV2942.2 14156328 .00 18.99 .20 CENTAUR COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 11/25/2008 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/8/7/1/2/1452178.jpg 7 PURCELL / GHIELMI / IL SUONAR PARLANTE FANTAZIAS OF FOUR PARTS Vittorio Ghielmi and his ensembles of violas interpret pieces by Henry Purcell. 025091013425 WNTR134.2 14258541 .00 20.99 .16 WINTER & WINTER COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 02/10/2009 http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/3/1/5/2/1412513.jpg 7 CAPPELLA ROMANA DIVINE LITURGY IN ENGLISH IN BYZANTINE CHANT 614511758529 CAPL404.2 13964566 .00 29.99 .30 CAPPELLA ROMANA COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL EARLY MUSIC / CHANT 09/16/2008 https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/500/20/1332620-2653886.jpg 0 SICONG / KU / LU MUSIC FOR VIOLIN & PIANO The Chinese composer and violinist Ma Sicong was born in Haifeng in Guangdong province in 1912, and was among the relatively few Chinese musicians of his generation to study abroad.
