The Top 10 Most-Coveted New Classical Tracks Albums of 2014

Frequently throughout the year, albums featured on New Classical Tracks are offered as free giveaways, given to lucky winners in a random draw. In this unscientific poll, here are the top 10 most-coveted albums of 2014, based on number of giveaway entrants.

Sharon Isbin, a pioneering classical guitarist — who is out of this world.

"Basically this is my first Bach album, though I guess I've made 40 albums in the last 30 years," Bell admits. "But I finally felt ready to do something, to do a record with Bach."

That, in a nutshell, is one reason Anne-Sophie Mutter has so enjoyed working with pianist Lambert Orkis for the past 25 years. To celebrate this landmark anniversary, they've released The Silver Album, a two-CD set featuring major sonatas by Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, a few timeless encore pieces plus a couple world-premiere recordings.

Joyce DiDonato isn't in Kansas anymore. In fact, you're more likely to find her in London, Paris or New York City, and two years ago she became the first opera singer to perform at the Grammy Awards. This month, she's excited to share her latest recording, Stella di Napoli.

The notes are now spilling out of Angele Dubeau, who is sharing her story on her latest recording, titled Blanc.
