Cohler Classical brings unrivaled state-of-the-art classical music Source-Destination editing (sometimes called 4-point or 3-point editing) to REAPER. With unlimited track groups including nine source track groups and one destination per tab, each completely and instantly collapsible track group can contain any number of tracks. Each group has the same track structure so you can cut and paste audio from any source to the destination with automatic crossfades effortlessly in 1 click. The track groups are color coded, and each has its own independent set of 99 color-coded markers. Drag and drop takes between track groups as you organize your edit with no worries, because the mixer is identical in all track groups.
The Cohler Classical state-of-the-art Crossfade Editor includes seamlessly integrated one and two-lane modes, and is so much simpler, faster and more powerful than those in Pyramix, Pro Tools, Sequoia, SADiE, Steinberg, or soundBlade it’s hard to describe. But seeing is believing. ALL adjustments can be made using either a click-drag or keyboard-shortcut interface!
“This is a delight of a disc… impeccable performances — a musical meditation on nature, love and all else besides.”

A Concert Piano Christmas
at Boston Symphony Hall
Rasa Vitkauskaite, piano
“Warm up those mince pies and give this Last Light Productions disc a spin, and all will be right with the world… The cleanliness of Vitkauskaite’s playing is the real treat here: she eschews the overt virtuosity Pletnev himself might invoke for something more charming… One does also wonder just how many hands Vitkauskaite has… This is no ordinary Chrimbo compilation. It is not a stocking-filler, it is a gift in its
own right.”
★★★★★
Fanfare
“Kaler’s performance approaches, and perhaps even achieves, the ideal.”
“Vitkauskaite’s performance … comes alive with scintillating pianism and a kaleidoscope of colors … a remarkable display of technique and sensitivity”
“impressive recorded sound …”
“Jonathan Cohler provides sensitive, expert support for his soloists.”
“Superb”

“5 stars: energetic and finely crafted performances; Jonathan Cohler and [the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra] present excellent interpretations that should be the standard for Mozart”
“…an exceptionally transparent and vivid recording that “hears” everything…”
“The recording is supremely involving…”
“The recorded sound is excellent; impactful and sharply defined, but without a trace of artificial enhancement or spotlighting…”
“In the modern era the two best recordings… came from Stoltzman (RCA) and Harold Wright (DG). Cohler’s account shines just as brightly, and it has enough added verve and style for me to prefer it.”
—Fanfare
David Deveau, piano
“David Deveau’s mindful, stylish virtuosity… featuring bass lines that resonate and soar to the heavens.”
— Gramophone
“It brought me back to the first time I heard it with Serkin in Carnegie and was overwhelmed.”
— Richard Goode
“The performance is excellent. … The program is selected carefully to show a wide range of moods and characters.…. It gives us time to appreciate the bloom of the tone and the well-controlled melancholy. The Chaconne is majestic.”
—American Record Guide
“An engrossing survey of music by composers who dedicated their skills to the development of keyboard music, performed on a sonically pleasant instrument captured in well-calibrated acoustics.”
—Classical Music Sentinel
“An interesting recital on an instrument of well-deployed rich colours. The playing is crisp and clean with clear phrasing”
—Early Music Review
“5 stars: …large-scaled performances filled with musical passion… [Vitkauskaite] plays the solo part as boldly as Rudolf Serkin, and [Cohler] conducts with more dramatic force than George Szell…”
“…engineering that combines inner detail with overall impact. The full dynamic range of the piano is vividly conveyed, as is the dynamic range of Mozart’s score…”
“… the orchestral sound in these performances is extremely vivid. The strings are marvelously rich at the opening of the Mozart, yet the horn cuts through with absolute clarity. The recording also conveys the orchestra with a keen spatial sense: I heard the interplay between winds and strings in both concertos as precisely located, though my listening system is nothing fancy.”
“…warm recorded sounds…”
—Fanfare
“Beautiful programming here from Cohler and Vitkauskaite… it is lovely to hear how they make such sublime chamber music together… Cohler’s virtuosity [in Zarabandeo] is spectacular… Ginastera’s Danzas Argentinas (1937) in a terrific, high-voltage performance by Vitkauskaite; and how well the piano is caught in this recording. The rhythmic spirit of the dance, the virtuosity, the sweet lyricism: all are here in abundance, the central ‘Danza de la moza donosa’ an oasis of gently rocking songful peace, the final ‘Danza del gaucho matrero’ a veritable explosion of fierce energy, Vitkauskaite’s finely honed technique absolutely at the service of this glowing music. Superb booklet notes fill out an outstanding release… A brilliant disc, life-enhancing and full of joie de vivre, all cased in a fine recording. Five Stars”
