Ever wonder what Johann Sebastian Bach would sound like with a little '70s gloss on top? Good, actually. It sounds damn good.

Two recent albums that do new things with very old music.

Jefferson Friedman's sharply modernistic but accessible new 'The Heart Wakes Into' paired nicely with Brahms's Quintet in F minor at the Metropolitan Museum.

As the boat rocked – luckily, mostly gently – Segev gave an account of these difficult pieces that was impressive both technically and idiomatically.

"Music starts where words end," says the cellist as she prepares to record these difficult, seminal works.

The combination of great music, intelligent improvisation, and solid technique makes for exciting listening.
