Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Docile Bodies - Rest (LP) (New (N))
Tilburg post-punk quartet Docile Bodies return with their sophomore LP "Rest" (à La Carte Records, October 23), eight tracks that trade the catharsis of 2024's "Light Will Come Our Way" for something slower, more patient, and unwilling to resolve. Sjoerd Aarden, Tadzio van Bel, Hans Diks, and Merl van der Markt write through emptied rooms, fractured belief systems, and the soft furniture of childhood reconfigured as echo - a record that listens closely to grief without trying to explain it. The lineage is clear: the chilled architectures of Joy Division, the blunt-force restraint of Iceage, the slow-release intensity both rely on. The register is the band's own. Produced and mixed by Wessel van den Broek, mastered by Wessel Oltheten, with cover photography by Jón Helgi Palmáson and design by Cowards Way. Pressed on two limited 12" vinyl variants.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: L'Orfeo Blaserensemble - Complete Trio Sons Op. 3 (CD) (New (N))
Even great luminaries can make mistakes. For example, as late as 1750, the multi-talented Jean-Jacques Rousseau was firmly convinced in the renowned French Encyclopedie that the sonata was ""such an unnatural fashion"" that it ""would not last"". And this despite that quite a few of his fellow musicians paid tribute to this Italian genre, producing many fine pieces. An early example appeared in 1713. It was published under the customary royal privilege as Opus 3 by the 33-year-old Parisian organist and harpsichordist Louis-Antoine Dornel. It is a collection of seven trio sonatas for transverse flutes, violins, oboes, etc. Thanks to it's highly variable instrumentation, it allowed for a wide circle of instrumentalists to perform these tasteful, varied and thoughtfully composed pieces. Today, Dornel's Opus 3 is a veritable rarity, and the Orfeo Blaserensemble has again brought it into the limelight. They would have even convinced Rousseau UPC: 761203546527Label: Cpo RecordsRelease Date: 11.6.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Aleksander Nohr - Marc Blitzstein: Parabola & Circula (CD) (New (N))
The new CD edition 'Bauhaus Music, Volume 1' by the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung brings the rich and long-overlooked music history of the Bauhaus back to life. The series opens with an absolute sensation - Marc Blitzstein's 'Parabola and Circula', believed to be the only geometric opera in the world. Developed in 1929/30, the piece was supposed to debut at a Bauhaus event but, for various reasons, remained unperformed for almost a century. It wasn't until 2025 when the research project 'Bauhaus Music', initiated by the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, presented the world premiere of a reconstructed version at the Musikfest Berlin in the Berliner Philharmonie. Modern, poignant and richly multifaceted, Blitzstein's opera tells a tragic love story in the realm of geometric forms that evokes the artistic visions of the Bauhaus stage. With this CD, you can now enjoy the first recording of the 2025 debut performance - an acoustic document that captures an extraordinary moment of music and Bauhaus research.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Thomas Triesschijn - La Dolce Stravaganza (CD) (New (N))
La Dolce Stravaganza reimagines Antonio Vivaldi's celebrated violin concertos through the expressive voices of the recorder family. Recorder virtuoso Thomas Triesschijn breathes new life into these masterpieces with a series of elegant transcriptions, showcasing not only the familiar alto recorder but also rarely heard historical instruments such as the voice flute, sixth flute, third flute, and E-flat alto recorder. The result is a richly coloured musical journey that expands the recorder's repertoire while revealing new dimensions of Vivaldi's melodic brilliance and theatrical imagination. Performed with the vibrant period ensemble The Counterpoints, this recording captures the irresistible contrasts at the heart of Vivaldi's music - from dazzling virtuosity and infectious rhythmic energy to deeply lyrical, aria-like slow movements of remarkable intimacy. Inspired by the musical world of eighteenth-century Venice and Vivaldi's legacy at the Ospedale della Pieta, La Dolce Stravaganza is both a tribute to Baroque creativity and an invitation to rediscover familiar masterpieces through fresh ears and the uniquely sweet voice of the flauto dolce.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra - Sym No. 10 (CD) (New (N))
Dmitri Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony stands as one of the defining orchestral masterpieces of the twentieth century. A deeply personal work that emerged in the wake of Stalin's death and marked the composer's triumphant return to the symphonic genre. Balancing profound introspection with explosive drama, the symphony traces a powerful emotional journey in which Shostakovich's unmistakable musical voice, symbolized by his famous DSCH motif, transforms personal struggle into a timeless statement of resilience and humanity.Daniel Raiskin and the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra bring exceptional insight and intensity to this landmark score. Renowned for it's distinctive Bohemian sound and international acclaim, the orchestra captures every shade of Shostakovich's richly expressive writing - from haunting lyricism to overwhelming orchestral power. Together, Raiskin and the orchestra deliver a compelling interpretation that reveals the enduring emotional depth and universal significance of this extraordinary symphony.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Christof Keymer - Complete Works For Piano (CD) (New (N))
A glance at the catalogue of works by the composer Otto Nicolai quickly reveals that, although he composed an astonishing amount of music during his short, incredibly eventful life of barely 39 years, he paid rather scant attention to the piano-an instrument he played superbly-when it came to his own compositions. Alongside half a dozen operas and two symphonies, as well as a wealth of sacred and secular vocal music, he wrote a handful of piano works that easily fit on a double album. The result is a veritable bonbonniere. Two starkly contrasting sonatas represent the 'serious' Nicolai. The founder of the Vienna Philharmonic and director of the Vienna Court Opera is represented, amongst other things, by theatrical occasional music and a fantasia on Casta Diva. The trend conscious, playful composer of The Merry Wives of Windsor also composed a number of light pieces such as the Moon Waltz, which has nothing to fear from comparison to anyone named Strauss.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Oliver Triendl - Clarinet Trio Op. 94 & Vc Son In D Minor Op. 28 (CD) (New (N))
Not only did Wilhelm Berger, the son of a music storeowner from Bremen, suffer a premature death (he died barely fifty years old in the same year as Gustav Mahler). The student of Ernst Rudorff, Friedrich Kiel and Woldemar Bargiel, who became court conductor in Meiningen, went in a considerably more conservative direction than contemporaries such as Richard Strauss. Soon after his death, he was no longer en vogue and due to their similarity in names, he was for decades obscured by the Swede Wilhelm Peterson-Berger. In terms of their music, they were nothing alike and could not be confused with one another. Whether in his orchestral works, vocal music or chamber music, Berger's style always strikes a familiar tone, yet one that goes beyond his models. Johannes Brahms served as an inspiration in many respects (not least in the instrumentation of the works recorded here); yet neither the youthful, rapturous sonata nor the exceptionally beautiful trio, composed some two decades later, leave the slightest doubt that Wilhelm Berger was able to make the most of his own talents.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Nizar Rohana - Sujood (Adoration) (CD) (New (N))
On Sujoud, oud virtuosos Nizar Rohana and Yasamin Shahhosseini bring two distinct musical traditions into intimate conversation. Rooted respectively in Arab (particularly Egyptian and Levantine) and Persian music, their playing moves beyond dialogue toward a shared language: one in which composed structures and spontaneous expression continually meet.Rohana's original compositions and arrangements explore the full sonic range of two ouds, their individual voices remaining unmistakable while intertwining with remarkable sensitivity. Percussionist Ruven Ruppik adds colour, momentum and subtle rhythmic energy, deepening the music without disturbing it's spaciousness.The title Sujoud refers to an act of bowing in awe. Here, it becomes both a gesture of reverence and a symbol of perseverance. Created during years marked by conflict and separation, the album carries a quiet but resolute message of hope. It's music is dedicated to those enduring hardship, especially children searching for a path through darkness.With it's balance of precision and freedom, humility and intensity, Sujoud is a deeply human album: a meeting of traditions, personalities and inner worlds, shaped by attentive listening and mutual trust.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Carla Marciano - Daydreaming My Beloved Father Giovanni (LP) (New (N))
On Daydreaming, Italian saxophonist and composer Carla Marciano transforms memory, grief and love into an intensely personal musical journey. Dedicated to her father Giovanni, the album reflects the profound bond between father and daughter and the lifelong passion for music he inspired in her.Marciano's compositions move between intimate reflection, lyrical beauty and powerful improvisation. Her alto and sopranino saxophones are joined by her long-standing quartet (Alessandro La Corte, Aldo Vigorito and Gaetano Fasano with Dario Deidda appearing on acoustic bass). Several pieces are further enriched by the Philharmonic Orchestra of the 'Giuseppe Verdi' Theater in Salerno, conducted by Antonio Sinagra.Created during a period marked by the loss of both parents and Marciano's recovery from a serious road accident, Daydreaming is also a testimony to resilience and renewal. The music evokes childhood memories, shared songs, imagined embraces and the enduring presence of loved ones. It is an album about absence, but above all about gratitude, courage and a love that continues beyond time. UPC: 608917364125Label: ChallengeRelease Date: 11.6.26Format: Vinyl

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Smetana Trio - Mendelssohn Fibich Rabl: Smetana Trio (CD) (New (N))
Three gems of 19th-century Romantic music played by the Smetana TrioThe Smetana Trio's new album presents three compositions that capture the diverse forms of 19th-century Romantic chamber music. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy wrote his Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66, during his artistic maturity. It combines the dramatic energy of the outer movements with the tender lyricism and delicate poetic character of the central movements. Alongside the virtuosic piano part, the work stands out for it's finely balanced dialogue among the three instruments and it's refined motivic development. The second composition on the album is Zdenek Fibich's early Piano Trio in F minor, the work of a young composer inspired by the legacy of Robert Schumann. It combines the ardour of Romanticism and lyrical warmth with a carefully conceived formal design and a sensitive interplay between the piano and the strings. The album concludes with the Fantasy Pieces by Walter Rabl, a composer who today remains on the fringes of the concert repertoire. This cycle of brief character pieces delights listeners with it's melodic freshness, tender lyricism, and cultivated, Brahmsian sound. In all three works, the Smetana Trio reaffirms it's exceptional standing among Czech chamber ensembles. Jitka Cechova, Marketa Janouskova, and Jan PalenÃcek offer an interpretation combining technical mastery, stylistic refinement, and profound comprehension of the Romantic musical style.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Nizar Rohana - Sujood (Adoration) (LP) (New (N))
On Sujoud, oud virtuosos Nizar Rohana and Yasamin Shahhosseini bring two distinct musical traditions into intimate conversation. Rooted respectively in Arab (particularly Egyptian and Levantine) and Persian music, their playing moves beyond dialogue toward a shared language: one in which composed structures and spontaneous expression continually meet.Rohana's original compositions and arrangements explore the full sonic range of two ouds, their individual voices remaining unmistakable while intertwining with remarkable sensitivity. Percussionist Ruven Ruppik adds colour, momentum and subtle rhythmic energy, deepening the music without disturbing it's spaciousness.The title Sujoud refers to an act of bowing in awe. Here, it becomes both a gesture of reverence and a symbol of perseverance. Created during years marked by conflict and separation, the album carries a quiet but resolute message of hope. It's music is dedicated to those enduring hardship, especially children searching for a path through darkness.With it's balance of precision and freedom, humility and intensity, Sujoud is a deeply human album: a meeting of traditions, personalities and inner worlds, shaped by attentive listening and mutual trust.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: La Boz Galana - Cantando En La Ciudad De Los Angeles (CD) (New (N))
Cantando en la Ciudad de Los Angeles - Christmas Villancicos by Gaspar Fernandez in Viceregal Mexico offers a vibrant re-creation of the Christmas villancico tradition as heard in early seventeenth-century Puebla Cathedral, where Fernandez served as chapel master. Rooted in historical evidence, it reveals how these works combine popular poetry, dance forms, voices of diverse origins, and devotional expression, bringing to light a repertoire of remarkable linguistic, melodic, and expressive richness.Concerto Scirocco, directed by Giulia Genini, brings it's expertise in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century instrumental repertoire, while the singers of La Boz Galana lend particular sensibility to the prosody and expressive force of these Hispanic Golden Age poetic texts. Both ensembles perform under the artistic direction of Sebastian León.Conceived as the musical companion to Mexican musicologist Ireri E. Chavez Barcenas's book Sounding Race, Identity, and Devotion in Puebla de Los Angeles (Oxford University Press, 2026), this recording invites renewed listening to this extraordinary repertoire.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Magdalena Podkoscielna - Il Mose (Oratorio) (CD) (New (N))
It is certainly not just Jacob's Ladder, the burning bush, the fiery Elijah or Ezekiel's chariot that have made the Tanakh, the Old Testament, a treasure trove for creative minds of all persuasions. At every turn in this voluminous book, we learn of dramatic adventures, exciting encounters between earthly and higher beings, passionate battle scenes and inexplicable miracles - which, not least since the 'invention' of the oratorio, have been literally crying out for musical interpretation. Bernardo Pasquini, the highly praised musician in the service of the Borghese family of Rome, dedicated one of his nearly twenty oratorios to an episode from Exodus. During the festival of joy, held to thank the God of Israel for the liberation from Egyptian slavery, the various stages of the journey were being commemorated. Suddenly, the clang of weapons were heard, and the enemy troops of Amalek advanced. Joshua led his people into battle, as Moses tried to influence the outcome of the battle with his prayers. The more fervently he prayed, the more favourable Israel's fortunes. But as soon as he faltered, the page was turned. In the end, however, victory is assured, celebrated by a magnificent, resounding final chorus. UPC: 761203564224Label: Cpo RecordsRelease Date: 11.6.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Ural Youth Symphony Orchestra - Anthology Of Russian Ballet Music (CD) (New (N))
The music on this album reflects the rich tradition of Russian ballet, from 19th-century classics such as Swan Lake to the innovations of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and the ballets of the Soviet era. While ballet music had long been treated as little more than functional accompaniment, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky transformed the genre by giving it symphonic scale and psychological depth. 'Ballet is a symphony in it's own right,' he declared, and after him ballet scores became true concert works, inspiring generations of leading Russian and European composers. Recorded at the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic, this album brings together a century of Russian ballet music in performances by the Ural Youth Symphony Orchestra under Dmitry Filatov.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Munchner Rundfunkorchester - Symphonies Op. 35 Nos. 1-3 (CD) (New (N))
Paul Wranitzky was born on 30 December 1756 in Neureisch in Moravia. He was almost exactly eleven months younger than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was, who he survived by seventeen years. The obvious comparison between the two contemporaries does, of course, yield some astonishing results. Among other things, this may be because the older of the two was a child prodigy, whereas Wranitzky only became a composer after a circuitous route and had to learn much of what came so naturally to the Mozart. He applied this approach with great ingenuity, however, as his four dozen symphonies alone reveal. Although he had some of them published in volumes in the traditional manner, their style suggests they serve more as a missing link between his teacher, Joseph Haydn, and the 'man of the future' - Ludwig van Beethoven. The three pieces published as Opus 35 in April 1800, though composed in the previous decade, are no exception. Original, full of formal surprises and musically progressive, they evoke a faint suspicion. Josef Martin Kraus, the Swedish court conductor who was in Vienna around 1783, may have imparted to Wranitzky some of his audacity. UPC: 761203571529Label: Cpo RecordsRelease Date: 11.6.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Katerina Knezikova - Bedrich Smetana: Libuse - Festive Opera In 3 Acts (CD) (New (N))
Smetana's Libuse in an extraordinary performance by Jakub Hrusa and the Czech Philharmonic. This new recording of Smetana's Libuse captures one of the highpoints of the Year of Czech Music 2024, which brought together the Czech Philharmonic, the Prague Philharmonic Choir, and leading Czech vocal soloists under the baton of Jakub Hrusa. This festive opera, created for the opening of the National Theatre in Prague, transcends it's role as a historical tableau and a symbol of national identity. In it, Smetana tells a story of the search for a just order, the responsibilities of a ruler, and the ability to overcome personal disputes for the good of society as a whole, values that have lost none of their relevance. Soprano Katerina KnežÃkova appears in the title role, combining the regal dignity of Princess Libuse with the lyrical tenderness and human dimension of this legendary figure. Conductor Jakub Hrusa reveals not only the monumental and ceremonial dimension of Smetana's score, but also it's wealth of colour, the transparency of it's more intimate passages, and the subtle shaping of psychological tension. Under his leadership, the Czech Philharmonic creates a dynamic arc that moves from conflict and reconciliation to Libuse's final prophecy - a grand vision of Czech history in which the past opens a path to the future. The recording was made in May and June 2024 at concerts of the Prague Spring International Music Festival and during preparations for the Smetana Litomysl Festival, as part of the Smetana200 project.
