Michael Nesmith - Infinite Tuesday-Autobiographical Riffs: The Music (2017)
Rhino released this compilation to support Mike's autobiography of the same name. It serves as an excellent one disc summary of Nez's extensive career, beginning with a rare pre-Monkees single "The New Recruit". The collection carries through The Monkees (with an unreleased remix), The First National Band and on to his eclectic post-simian solo efforts. For those unfamiliar with Mike's work, this album is a real eye opener.

Stefan Askenase - Chopin: Piano Sonata Nos. 2 & 3 (1955)
Like most central Europeans, Stefan Askenase was profoundly affected by the cataclysmic events of the 20th Century, yet he managed to live a very full life in his 89 years, dying shortly after giving a concert. Born to a Jewish family in what is now Ukraine, before WWII Askenase lived at various times in Vienna, Cairo and Rotterdam, then hid in France during the war. Afterward, he migrated first to Poland, then Brussels, still later teaching at Hamburg, Cologne and Jerusalem. After all that, he still had time to help restore a historic train station in the Rhineland as a concert venue. Stefan's legacy is represented by students such as Martha Argerich and Mitsuko Uchida.
Askenase was best known for his many recordings of Chopin for DG. His style is warm, rich and romantic, perhaps reflecting his formative years at the Vienna Conservatory of Music.

Boston Symphony Orchestra (Seiji Ozawa, cond.) - Conductors and Orchestras (DSG Comp. 2018)
Here's another outstanding volume in this DG series that I touted before. Right now I'm enjoying the first disc with Chabrier's sparkling rhapsody "Espana" which Ozawa makes a joyful treat for a Friday evening.
