Mario Batkovic's music occupies a singular space between composition, performance and sonic experimentation. Based in Bern, Switzerland, the composer, accordionist and multi-instrumentalist has developed an intensely personal musical language rooted in a radical interrogation of the accordion - it's timbre, mechanics, physicality and rhythmic potential. In Batkovic's hands, the instrument becomes something far beyond it's conventional role: a source of intricate, evolving sound in which performer and machine appear to become one.Batkovic received International critical acclaim when his eponymous debut album was released on Invada Records in 2017, with Rolling Stone listing it in the top 10 avant- garde albums of the year. 'INTROSPECTIO' followed, a self-questioning, self-examination of society which featured collaborations with Colin Stetson, James Holden and Clive Deamer (Radiohead / Portishead).II sees Batkovic venture further into radical, uncompromising and experimental territory, both in the reduction and the expansion of sound. Voices overlap, rhythmic structures develop an almost mechanical force, and layers of sound evoke analogue synthesizers. Then everything falls away: near-total silence, the breath of the bellows, a single frequency. Sounds emerge that can barely be traced back to any particular instrument. The album is built entirely around the physical relationship between one musician and one instrument. No loops, nom electronic layers. Everything you hear comes from an uncompromising exploration of the instrument itself. A primal force of creation and destruction.With credits that include music for the global hit game 'Red Dead Redemption II', commissions for AMI Paris, Cartier Fondation, Hugo Boss, Chanel and film scores 'Mad Heidi' and 'Shame and Money' his compositional work has extended into some of the most distinctive fields of contemporary culture.

With this recording, the Gaechinger Cantorey turns to Johann Sebastian Bach's motets, works widely regarded as a pinnacle of sacred vocal music. Emerging from an intensively prepared series of concerts and recorded at the TauberPhilharmonie Weikersheim, the album combines tonal transparency, expressive power, and vibrant historically informed performance practice at the highest level.Bach's motets rank among the most impressive works in the choral repertoire. Between intimate devotion and the splendor of double-choir writing unfolds a musical cosmos filled with contrapuntal mastery, emotional intensity, and eight-part virtuosity. Finely balanced instrumental colours complement the choral sound, lending the works remarkable transparency and flexibility.For many years, the Gaechinger Cantorey has played a defining role in the performance of Bach's music with a sound that is at once precise, agile, and immediate. Under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann, the ensemble's interpretations understand historically informed performance practice as a means of rediscovering the emotional power and complexity of this music. The ensemble's distinctive artistic profile is especially evident in the motets: transparent in sound, closely attuned to the text, and driven by great musical energy.With this release, Accentus Music continues it's long-standing collaboration with the Gaechinger Cantorey, which has already resulted in several highly acclaimed Bach recordings.

Brooklyn composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Sammy Weissberg's catalog of contemporary classical pieces is based around lovingly arced melodies, striking chord progressions, and an overall boundless musical imagination. Music for Strings and Brass, his newest release (and his debut for Dear Life Records), features two works that redefine the scope of his artistry, incorporating techniques he has honed while arranging for songwriters (The Lemon Twins, Allegra Krieger, June McDoom, Frances Chang, and many more). The album features his commanding, impressionistic String Quartet No, 2 and a Brass Quintet that explores the poignant, voice-like expressivity of each of it's instruments. Taking inspiration from modernist composers, Weissberg speaks in a musical language that sometimes sounds beamed in from another era. At different points, his work channels the catchy instrumental themes of AntonÃn Dvorák and Sergei Prokofiev, the atomic rhythmic interplay of Igor Stravinsky, and the luxurious harmonic worlds of Claude Debussy and Nina Rota. Unfailingly, though, he channels these nostalgic points of reference into contemporary-sounding, acutely personal chamber works that feel impossible to misunderstand-elaborate and unpretentious, exceptional and timeless. Music for Strings and Brass is the perfect introduction to the way that Weissberg processes life in sound, and should rank among the most warm-spirited and single-minded instrumental releases of this year.

Songs of Joy and Peace is a Christmas music album by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, originally released in 2008. The album features collaborations with many other artists, including vocalists Diana Krall & Alison Krauss, James Taylor, Dave Brubeck, Chris Botti. This holiday disc doesn't exclusively stick to traditional Christmas songs, but covers a wide scope of material in a very ambitious manner. Ma opens with a lovely take of the traditional favorite "Dona Nobis Pacem (Give Us Peace)", playing both the melody and counterpoint via overdubbing. Jazz pianist/vocalist Diana Krall is superb in a swinging rendition of Jerome Kern's unjustly obscure "You Couldn't Be Cuter", adding bassist John Clayton. An arrangement of "Joy To The World" features pianist Dave Brubeck and cellist Matt Brubeck (his son). Chris Botti has never sounded better in the warm arrangement of "My Favorite Things", playing both open and muted trumpet. James Taylor is featured on vocals on the Beatles cover "Here Comes The Sun". Songs of Joy & Peace is a limited edition on translucent red colored vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet.

The 13 string virtuosi who make up this conductor-less ensemble did well to name themselves after Areangelo Corelli. Both as a violinist and as a composer, Corelli brought the art of string-playing to heights never-before achieved, exploring new dimensions of dynamics and tonal richness. What makes the Societa Corelli virtually unique among interpreters of Corelli, Vaivaldi and other masters of that period is their style. Their tone production, use of vibrato and other subtleties evident in this performance are artistic, creative and vital music-making.Mastered by Mathew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape, cut at 45 RPM and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings - makers of the world's finest-sounding vinyl LPs.

Since it's original release on LP in the mid-1950s, Fritz Reiner's rendition of the Concerto for Orchestra has stood as the standard against which all other recordings of the work are measured. Reiner's superb control of his orchestra and of Bartok's rhythms and textures is still unsurpassed, even by dozens of subsequent conductors in the digital age. Likewise, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta shows just what an incredible ensemble the Chicago Symphony was under Reiner's direction. The original 2-track session tapes were used in mastering for LPs and SACDs. Reiner delivers definitive interpretations that set a standard that remains unsurpassed.Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original 2-track master tape, cut at 45 RPM and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings - makers of the world's finest-sounding vinyl LPs, - no other editions match these for the quietest 180-gram platters available.

Concern and Simplicity Volume 1: Original Recordings, 1981-1986 documents the scarcely heard recordings of Swiss pianist and composer Lotti Tauber, selected from various albums privately pressed across the 1980s. Living with musculoskeletal disability since childhood, and surviving a critical injury in her late 20s, the singular minimalism and innovative playing of Tauber's piano(s) testifies to music's ability to provide a dialogue between pain and joy. Covering a breadth of output in the final decade of her life, this first archival volume of Tauber's work introduces her capacity to inflect the avant-garde with the intimacy of the personal, combining improvisation and intuition with the chance-based structures to which her intellectual and spiritual life was devoted.Since childhood, Tauber's mobility and playing had been restricted by musculoskeletal issues of the arms and hands. In 1973 she suffered a car accident and a spinal injury that brought with it a period of paralysis and lifelong pain in addition to that which she already experienced from her worsening physical condition. After traveling to Chicago to seek surgical solutions to these problems in 1981, Tauber began recording her own musical compositions. She self-released eight albums over the following decade, each adorned with her own surrealist, and sensational, pencil illustrations: Roundabout Ways (1981), Aufgehoben (1981), Bestimmung (1982), Courage (1982), von Zeit zu Zeit (1982), Planeten (1983), I Ging (1985), and Samowar (1986). To overcome the challenges of her disability, Tauber developed an iconoclastic playing style that focused on the movements of her thumb and ring finger, and her compositions were often structured and even determined by mystical texts related to her Jungian interests. An outsider unknown even within the Swiss musical scene, she aligned her minimalism with the likes of Arvo Pärt and Phillip Glass, while making music that was still unapologetically first and foremost for and of herself. Tauber's intense period of musical productivity in the 1980s coincided with the resumption of her physical decline following the reprieve given by her surgeries in Chicago, and in 1988, she elected to die on her own terms through euthanasia. At the time of her passing, Tauber was 44.Concern and Simplicity focuses on works of Tauber's in which rhythm and melody take turns occupying the seat of the primary object under modulation. In works like "Borderline" and "Neptun," her achingly gentle transformations of each search not for rhythm and melody's final relationship, but for the model of their exploratory and ongoing communication. In "Einkehr" and "Kan," Tauber places herself in conversation with late 20th century minimalism, developing self-propelling systems of arpeggiation, and unearthing the inescapably narrative potentials of repetition. As musician and author Kristen Gallerneaux emphasizes in the liner notes accompanying Concern and Simplicity, Tauber's compositional "simplicity" functions as "a counterspell against stasis," a permission and challenge to both musician and listener to "abolish, preserve, [and] transcend" the out-of-jointedness of subjective experience.From her education in the psychic structures of Jungian psychoanalysis, to her research into an array of global and historical mystical traditions, to the DIY ethos of music production that she defended despite her disability, Concern and Simplicity captures the singular curiosity which links all of Tauber's pursuits. It is a curiosity that asks what we might we hear if we listen to those wordless parts of ourselves - what it finds, what it puts to music, are the very structures of such a listening, and the endless dialogue with the self they make possible.

Music that makes the ears grow' - this is how lutenist David Bergmüller characterises the music he has chosen for his solo recital. The charm of this album lies in it's complexity, in the quiet, near-silent tones, in it's meditative character. This is precisely why this repertoire still fascinates us today, because it forms a calming counterpoint to our overstimulated world. With this album, French lute music is combined with David Bergmüller's own arrangements. UPC: 885470047690Label: Berlin ClassicsRelease Date: 11.20.26Format: Vinyl
The first notes of the descending chromatic theme break the silence and it seems as if time has stopped. The listener is drawn into the world of John Dowland, the greatest lutenist of all, in a journey through multiple shades of melancholy and lucent hope. Never before had the lute sounded as expressive and colourful as in these masterful Fancies, as dynamic as in these sparkling dances: Renaissance lute music here reached it's summit. Bor Zuljan explores these qualities in his debut solo recording, breathing new life into Dowland's masterpieces. UPC: 5400439010345Label: RicercarRelease Date: 11.20.26Format: Vinyl

The soundboard is painted with flowers, fruits, and animals and decorated with a typical light-blue ornamental border. Around the soundboard, the walls are adorned with block-printed wallpaper. The lid contains a landscape painting, which was added later, an idyllic stream landscape with four staffage figures: The observer watches a boy gazing intently into the water, a young woman carrying provisions or something similar home, and a couple, who are also only visible from behind. A bridge and a mill enliven the rural scene.' If the corresponding technical terms 'soundboard,' 'ornamental border,' or 'lid' were missing, the reader would hardly associate this vivid, florid description with a keyboard instrument. In such a manner, the renowned harpsichordist and expert in historical performance practice and basso continuo, Wolfgang Brunner, describes the instrument dated 1628 by Andreas Ruckers, from the Flemish harpsichord-making dynasty of the Ruckers family, which is heard on this recording featuring the six French Suites by J. S. Bach. UPC: 9003643100077Label: GramolaRelease Date: 11.20.26Format: Vinyl
Babe: Elaboratio is Harry Connick Jr.'s most personal work to date: a 50-minute orchestral piece for piano, big band, and full orchestra, written as a tribute to his mother. Connick was ten years old when his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer; she died three years later, when he was thirteen. Sweeping in scope and deeply intimate in origin, Babe: Elaboratio finds Connick moving beyond the stage to reveal a side of his story he's never shared before - the private grief, memory, and devotion behind the music. Whether you know Harry Connick Jr. As a Grammy- and Emmy-winning vocalist, pianist, actor, or bandleader, Babe: Elaboratio stands apart as a singular artistic statement - a son's musical love letter to his mother, four and a half decades in the making.

Burning Song, composer and organist Kali Malone's first new album since 2024's All Life Long, represents a transformation in her compositional strategy towards a process that is intuitive and direct. The album was recorded at the historic Thomaskirche in Leipzig, Germany, where J.S. Bach was cantor for the last 27 years of his life; his body rests beneath the sanctuary. Malone is the first musician to perform contemporary works on the church's Bach Organ, an instrument completed in 2000 but with bespoke tuning and temperament systems based on historical norms of the baroque period. She is joined by Lucy Railton on cello and Stephen O'Malley on bowed acoustic guitar, the same trio that honed a profound connection based on deep listening through the development of Malone's work Does Spring Hide It's Joy. Chord follows chord, each in slow succession, emerging like stones of various shades and shapes on a winding path. The trio moves as one, stepwise, through passages that are alternately ambiguous and radiant, at times triumphant as the tones rise towards the organ's upper register.The first half of Burning Song was commissioned for the 2023 Venice Music Biennale and presented at the remarkably ornate San Pietro di Castello. Initial seeds of these pieces were developed on a piano backstage at Bozar in Brussels following a solo electronic performance, long after the audience and staff had departed. The album's final three pieces were composed swiftly in the month preceding the recording session in 2025, their stately progressions emerging within her mind's ear with a sense of ease and inevitability, hovering in the moment just before understanding, where revelation lives. The album's final piece, "My Eve My Dawn," represents a clear vision of this process; foregrounding the cohesion between endings and beginnings, it moves through passages of sadness and joy, the linking tones offering a sense of continuity, and thus of acceptance. The freedom found in the process of composing and realizing Burning Song is one that opens innumerable doors of possibility. In the fertility of ashes grows whatever comes next.

Geoff Kirkwood (Man Power)I'd gained some notoriety as a music producer and DJ but I hit a horrible case of writers block around 2018. Later, in the middle of lockdown, I was emboldened enough to apply for an artist in residence position at a big regional opera house. I submitted a ridiculously ambitious plan for what I would like to do as a project, and to my absolute shock I was selected for the position. I got as far as suggesting writing a full symphony to be performed by an orchestra. The biggest issue for me, beyond raising the money to pay for everything, was how does a person actually write a symphony?I was introduced to Fiona Brice, a multi instrumentalist and orchestral arranger. She's also a recording artist who releases on Bella Union. On top of that, she's a violinist who used to be part of the band Placebo and who used to appear regularly playing for other bands on things like Top of the Pops. Not only was Fiona uniquely placed to not look down on the strange provenance of someone from an acid house background wanting to write a symphony, but more to the point we really hit it off from day one. Fiona coached me in the essentials of writing for an orchestra, and then I went off and wrote the 8 movements.I'd love to say I labored for years over this bit, but it took about 2 weeks in total. I'd also love to say what I wrote was a complete symphony, but the version of this which is solely me feels like looking at something without your glasses on. The shape, feel, and borders were all there, but the definition was absent. Fiona taught me the broad language of a symphony, but without her it would have lacked all intonation, nuance, and detail. Where I had shaped ideas with a hammer, she brought out my meaning with precision using a scalpel. I think the prodigiously quick turnaround for the music is as much proof of how conceptually and musically aligned Fiona and I are. I know we're both incredibly proud of what we've created.The work itself is inspired by the working class experience, but it's also a comment on how we get to decide what we are and how we're defined, and we get to choose what we do to prove these things. The original recording was contractually impossible to ever share again, so we re-recorded it. In many ways it's a record that feels like it shouldn't exist, which is why we're all so happy that it does. UPC: 5050580878860Label: Athens Of The NorthRelease Date: 9.18.26Format: Vinyl

(2-LP set) Recorded at Kingsway Hall and engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson, this record couples Moussorgsky's Pictures at An Exhibition with Night on Bare Mountain. It has long been considered among the greatest sounding records ever made. Perhaps most stunning about Power of the Orchestra are the effortless dynamics, which have been reviewed and raved about ever since the first RCA shaded dog. From the teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy gentle plucks of strings to the power of a full orchestra without a bit of notice. It's heart-stopping, jump-out-of-your-seat-type dynamics.
