    Like the rest of the world during the coronavirus pandemic

    Like the rest of the world during the coronavirus pandemic, our schedule has been affected by the crisis with concerts of Michael's music and recording sessions postponed.  We've been using the time to catch up on post-production, have taken on projects which Michael didn't produce for editing and mixing.  Michael finished post-production on Jae-hyuck Cho's Rachmaninoff Concertos 2 and 3 with Hans Graf and the Russian National Orchestra and Russian Trumpet Concertos with Paul Merkelo, also with Maestro Graf and the RNO.  Michael also finished the editing and mixing of the Shostakovich 10th Symphony with Roberto Beltran-Zavala conducting the Orquesta Sinfónica de la Universidad de Guanajuato. Of course, Michael is busily composing: a concerto for Two Cellos for Nikolai Shugaev and Willem Stam, a trio for clarinetist Romie DeGuise Langlois, cellist Dmitri Atapine, and pianist Hyeyeon Park to be recorded on a program of music by living American composers, and a Trumpet Concerto.  We've been gratified by the positive critical response to 'Five for Five' - Wind Quintets by Michael Fine - released by Evidence Classics late last year.
