John Wilson and Sinfonia of London explore this repertoire with characteristic style and commitment, leading us on a journey through student compositions and orchestral extracts from his earliest operas. Studying under Amilcare Ponchielli at the Milan Conservatory from 1880 to 1883, he created the Preludio sinfonico (loosely based on Wagner's Prelude to Lohengrin), the Scherzo, Trio, and Adagetto, and Capriccio sinfonico, his graduation piece, which famously pre-echoes the opening of La boheme by a decade. The one-act opera Le villi was composed for a competition launched by the publisher Sonzogno (Puccini didn't win), whilst themes from the contemporaneous Tre minuetti and Crisantemi (both for string quartet) were subsequently re-cycled in Manon Lescaut. Verdi's publisher, Ricordi, bought the rights to Le villi, and commissioned a new work at the same time: Edgar, which, largely owing to the absurd plot, is arguably Puccini's only failure, despite some fully mature music easily the match of the more celebrated scores.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0095115538524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chandos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.27.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55351858528424,"sku":"82409653","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4484270-3505361.jpg?v=1774069432"},{"product_id":"pre-order-andre-navarra-elgar-from-the-archives-vol-2-cd-mint-m","title":"André Navarra - Elgar From The Archives Vol. 2 (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eSOMM Recordings' new series, \"Elgar from the Archives,\" explores Edward Elgar's music with rare archival recordings, not only from well-known British interpreters but also from lesser known, yet equally laudable, international conductors and soloists.Volume 2 in the series features historic live performances of Sir Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61 with Tibor Varga, and the Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 with Andre Navarra. Lani Spahr-whose work as a master recording engineer of historic reissues has been honoured by Gramophone Magazine-has once again expertly realised the audio restoration of these performances.  The Royal Philharmonic Society of London commissioned the Violin Concerto from Elgar in 1909. Composed within a year of his First Symphony, it is one of his longest orchestral compositions and has the reputation of being one of the most difficult in the violin repertoire. He dedicated it to the noted violin master of his day, Fritz Kreisler, who gave the premiere performance in 1910 with Elgar conducting. The Hungarian violinist Tibor Varga (1921-2003) was 6 years old when he made his first public appearance, becoming one of the most prominent soloists of his generation. The Franz Liszt Academy appointed him an honorary professor-a rare distinction also awarded to Elgar, Emil Gilels, Richard Strauss, and Arturo Toscanini, amongst others. Varga moved to London in 1947, became a citizen, and lived in Britain for nine years. That experience is reflected in his fine, committed performance of Elgar's concerto. This recording, from 1957, is with the Dutch composer and conductor Jan Koetsier and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.  Following the Great War, Lady Elgar noted that her husband's compositions were different in style and character. His four-movement Cello Concerto, completed in 1919, is barely longer than the first movement of his Violin Concerto, and it is a contemplative, elegiac work with a heartfelt third-movement adagio that is a masterful example of controlled emotion. Yet the concerto ends on a positive note, as the declamatory opening returns in a valedictory form at the end of the finale. The renowned cellist Andre Navarra (1911-1988) graduated from the Paris Conservatoire at the age of fifteen, and he was later mentored by Pablo Casals. He toured extensively in the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Soviet Union, playing with the great conductors of the era, and he was one of a number of distinguished French cellists who embraced the Elgar concerto. He chose it for his first public performance in Britain at the 1950 Cheltenham Festival with John Barbirolli-with whom he recorded the concerto in 1957. His recording here with German conductor Fritz Rieger and the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, comes from 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 758871504720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Somm Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.27.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55351859773608,"sku":"82534761","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4484350-3505470.jpg?v=1774069452"},{"product_id":"pre-order-joseph-nolan-complete-alkan-organ-works-vol-1-cd-mint-m","title":"Joseph Nolan - Complete Alkan Organ Works Vol. 1 (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis first volume of The Complete Alkan Organ Works presents Joseph Nolan's recording of Charles-Valentin Alkan's major works for organ and pedal-piano, performed on the restored Stahlhuth-Jann organ of St Martin's Church, Dudelange.

His career has included tenures as chief conductor of prominent orchestras, such as the Staatskapelle Dresden, and as music director of the San Francisco Symphony. Blomstedt was notably the first conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra from 1967 to 1977, during which time he made the acclaimed recordings contained in this Nielsen box set. Blomstedt's conducting style is often described as disciplined and serene, using minimal, refined gestures without a baton, as he believes the orchestra needs a musician to communicate with rather than a \"time beater.\" He has been praised for his ability to bring out the grace and clarity in a piece, and for his collaborative and communicative relationship with the musicians he leads.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymphony No. 1 in G minor, Op. 7: I.

The Estonian composer has been part of Paavo Jarvi's life since childhood: \"Arvo was my sister's and my father's supercool friend. He wore a baseball cap, jeans and a denim jacket\". The history of the Jarvi family is intimately linked to Part's work, since it was the now legendary concert in which Neeme Jarvi - Paavo's father - conducted Part's Credo in 1968 that caused the Soviet regime to blacklist the Jarvi family and precipitate their departure from Estonia. Credo is also included in this vast programme that covers 45 years of composing. What lies behind this music's simplicity and depth? One answer possibly lies in a remark that Part made in London during a rehearsal with Paavo: \"I have the impression that the orchestra doesn't like this chord enough\".

'the sense of senses' is a milestone that celebrates this connection, across time and space, to deliver a message that music can be a benevolent force for change if we only take the time to listen.\"This album is a collection of works that capture the intimate side of The Crossing's relationship with David Lang,\" Nally explains. \"Only two were written for us, yet the others reflect a shared world view, a common idea about sound and community, and a collective focus on our reason for singing.

His famous works include the Bookes of Songes or Ayres and Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares, featuring pieces like \"Flow my tears\" and \"Come heavy sleep\".

Composed in collaboration with Raoul Pugno and based on a libretto by Gabriele D'Annunzio, the work was originally planned for it's World Premiere in Paris in 1914, but the outbreak of World War I silenced it before it could be heard. Now, more than a century later, this long-buried score rises from obscurity, a revivified opera where forgotten desires return to life against the backdrop of ancient ruins.Set in the crumbling city of Mycenae, where buried passions mirror a decaying past, the opera unfolds through themes of obsession, betrayal, and blurred boundaries. It's rich emotional landscape is matched by impressionistic orchestral textures and intimate, arioso-style writing that nods to the styles of both Debussy and Wagner. In this evocative setting, Boulanger reveals a daring, expressive side that defies her reputation as the stern guardian of musical tradition.This landmark world premiere recording marks the PENTATONE debut of soprano Melissa Harvey, mezzo-soprano Laurie Rubin, tenor Joshua Dennis, baritone Jorell Williams, the Talea Ensemble, and conductor Neal Goren. The opera's orchestration, by Joseph Stillwell and Stephan Cwik under the supervision of David Conte, breathes new life into a long-silent score. A co-production between Catapult Opera and the Greek National Opera, La ville morte not only resurrects Boulanger's compositional brilliance but also claims a thrilling place in the modern operatic repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eville morte~Act I.

Conceived as a \"novel for piano,\" the work unfolds across eight expansive books (64 \"miles\"), each exploring the unpredictable, often chaotic path of life. Rzewski deliberately turned away from the ideal of the perfect form, embracing instead the fractured, the absurd, the political, the intimate, and the philosophical. The cycle draws on everything from American folk songs and avant-garde percussive effects to the literary voices of Gogol, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Dostoevsky, weaving autobiography with social commentary in a way that is deeply personal and boldly universal.Musically, The Road is encyclopedic. It spans fugal writing, jazz, free improvisation, virtuosic fantasy, and the spoken word - often within the same piece. It recalls the tradition of domestic piano literature, but on an epic scale, oscillating between private reflection and public confrontation.The interpretation of this work requires not only technical prowess but also an intimate understanding of it's creator. Pianist Daan Vandewalle premiered the first two books of the Road and remained an artistic confidant throughout the creation of the remaining volumes of The Road. As Rzewski himself said near the end of the cycle: \"I failed to make a revolution, but I am still here.\" The Road is not a solution - it is an enduring act of resistance, presence, and creation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5425004847041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passacaille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.10.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366490521768,"sku":"13344746","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4455067-3445180.jpg?v=1774553725"},{"product_id":"pre-order-jean-johnson-jenner-schumann-weber-works-for-clarinet-cd-new-n","title":"Jean Johnson - Jenner Schumann \u0026 Weber: Works For Clarinet (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Nothing short of phenomenal' (Fanfare), British-American clarinettist Jean Johnson makes her Linn debut with her partner and husband, pianist Steven Osborne.

Together with the Gurzenich Orchestra Cologne under the baton of Jordan de Souza, Anna Lucia Richtergives these songs a new, very personal dimension with her highly nuanced voice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260183510369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Myrios Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.10.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366490882216,"sku":"18116331","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4456870-3447374.jpg?v=1774553730"},{"product_id":"pre-order-violina-petrychenko-ukrainian-pno-qnts-cd-new-n","title":"Violina Petrychenko - Ukrainian Pno Qnts (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis CD represents pianist Violina Petrychenko's longstanding efforts to promote Ukrainian music in Europe.

His past recordings for SOMM include much-admired releases of piano music by Chopin; Barber (Critics' Choice in Gramophone); Brahms (Classic FM CD of the Week); Schumann; Rachmaninoff Complete Preludes; Haydn Sonatas and Variations (awarded a Diapason d'Or); Schubert; three further volumes of Haydn Sonatas; and the 2024 release Natural Connection, about which Gramophone wrote \"This scintillatingly varied recital combines sensuous virtuosity, compelling charm and musical probity. Highly recommended.\" In this recital McCawley presents some of his old favourites by composer-pianists Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin, and Franck. While the recital focusses on 19th century composers, the programme begins and ends with a nod to J.S. Bach. Amongst Bach's works that Franz Liszt revered were his six organ preludes and fugues. In transcribing them for piano, Liszt became a major influence on later arrangers. Heard here is the first in the set, Prelude and Fugue in A minor.The Piano Sonata in C major, Op. 53, \"The Waldstein,\" by Beethoven-dedicated to his friend and patron, Count Ferdinand von Waldstein-comes from his aptly named \"Heroic\" period. It was written in 1804, two years after the watershed moment of his Heiligenstadt Testament, when he had contemplated suicide because of his encroaching deafness, but instead made the profound choice to channel his despair into a bold new musical style. The \"Waldstein\" Sonata is a vivid expression of this newfound path and of Beethoven's ability to transcend personal adversity to create ground-breaking works of deep complexity. One of the renowned \"out-takes\" of musical history is Beethoven's Andante favori. He originally intended it as the slow movement of his \"Waldstein\" Sonata, but he substituted it with a shorter adagio labelled \"Introduzione.\" He had formed an attachment to the piece, though, and he published it as a stand-alone work, including it frequently in subsequent recitals. In an engaging piece of programming, Leon McCawley pairs it here with the \"Waldstein\" Sonata.Two introspective works by Chopin follow. The Berceuse is a series of continuous contemplations on a simple, nocturne-like theme. In the Barcarolle, Chopin's affinity to the bel canto operatic style is strongly apparent, especially in the beautiful, florid figurations in the right hand.Leon McCawley closes his beautifully curated recital with the Prelude, Chorale and Fugue for solo piano by Cesar Franck. Franck was trained as a pianist, but he served as an organist at Paris's Sainte-Clotilde Church from 1858 until his death in 1890. Inspired by the rich, orchestral sound of the Cavaille-Coll organ there, he developed a grandiose, improvisatory style of keyboard writing that was harmonically influenced by Bach but thoroughly romantic in expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 748871071728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Somm Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.17.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366491013288,"sku":"65204476","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4474328-3493603.jpg?v=1774553730"},{"product_id":"pre-order-jorg-halubek-organ-landscapes-luneburg-cd-new-n","title":"Jorg Halubek - Organ Landscapes: Luneburg (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the age of 15, Johann Sebastian Bach attended the Latin school at St. Michael's Monastery in Luneburg for two years. There is also evidence of at least one trip to Hamburg during this time. The young Bach must have been impressed and inspired by the North German music scene with it's large organs and independent pedals, the diverse reed stops, the clear and \"sharp\" mixtures and, last but not least, his musical experiences in Hamburg's Gansemarkt Opera House.Bach's chorale partitas bear clear traces of the North German environment, for example in the operatic-ariose elaborations with French ornaments or in the very individual virtuoso arrangements of the variations, which suggest the text interpretations of individual song verses. In contrast to this is the Orgelbuchlein, composed in the somewhat later Weimar years, which forms the foundation for Bach's monothematic composition: Here, the sound of a chorale is formed using just one characteristic motif. The roots of this compositional aesthetic can be traced back to Bach's early encounter with Georg Bohm in Luneburg.The history of the large organ in St. Michael's, which can be traced back to the 15th century, is eventful: in 1708 the Schnitger pupil Matthias Dropa built a new organ and extended the existing instrument by Niehoff (1553) - the young Bach may have been able to follow the plans. After numerous alterations, the current specification corresponds to that of 1708, and a precise historical restoration is currently being planned. The tremendous richness of color and the tonal spirit of the Baroque period can be clearly heard despite the equal temperament. The Klapmeyer organ in Altenbruch (1730), on which Dropa also worked from 1697-1700, gives an authentic impression of the sound of this organ landscape in Luneburg thanks to the restoration by Jurgen Ahrend (2004). The specifics of the historical sounds become tangible when comparing the two instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 885470020853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Berlin Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.24.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366491046056,"sku":"13424582","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4454919-3445298.jpg?v=1774553730"},{"product_id":"pre-order-pascal-schumacher-dorken-danae-glass-two-uk-cd-new-n","title":"Pascal Schumacher  \/ Dorken,Danae - Glass Two (Uk) (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe award-winning vibraphonist Pascal Schumacher and theinternationally acclaimed pianist Danae Dorken present their new album 'Glass Two' - an impressive musical homage to one of the most influential composers of our time: Philip Glass.

The result is a captivating listening experience that allows the colors and textures of Glass' works to shine in a new light and interact harmoniously with Schumacher's own compositions.

Their repertoire is the fruit of passionate research, as evidenced by the beautiful Concerto by Bortolotti, drawn from a precious Bolognese manuscript and skillfully adapted for the organ by Marco Arlotti, presented in this recording.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8007194108477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tactus Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.17.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366492946600,"sku":"64863777","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4474339-3493610.jpg?v=1774553754"},{"product_id":"pre-order-olga-pashchenko-mozart-pno-cons-6-8-18-cd-new-n","title":"Olga Pashchenko - Mozart: Pno Cons 6 8 \u0026 18 (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eOlga Pashchenko and Il Gardellino present a third recording of Mozart's piano concertos, following two volumes (Alpha 726 and 942) that were very well received by the press and the public: 'The most exhilarating \"authentic\" Mozart I have ever heard,' wrote The Spectator... In January 1776, Mozart composed his Piano Concerto No. 6, followed by the Eighth in April. Then aged 20, he did not want to shock the aristocracy of Salzburg and wrote simple music, but music that transports us 'to the calm gentleness of a paradise garden, in the manner of the Elysian Fields evoked by Gluck and Rameau', as Olivier Messiaen said. Completed on 30 September 1784, Concerto K 465 remains shrouded in mystery as to when it was first performed. It is thought that Mozart premiered it in February 1785 in Vienna in front of his father Leopold, who wrote to his daughter Maria Anna that Wolfgang had triumphed and that the emperor took off his hat and exclaimed 'bravo Mozart'!

Husa went to Paris to study underNadia Boulanger and Arthur Honegger. After the communist putsch of February 1948, he decided to remain abroad, working at Cornell University in the USA most of his life. He never forgot his homeland, however. This can be heard, for example, in his colourfulSerenade for Wind Quintet, Strings, Xylophone and Harp, which draws upon material from his earlier Evocations de Slovaquie. In these works, the composer relived his difficult decision not to return to his homeland. About Recollections for wind quintet and piano, the composer said: \"Recollections are vivid, but not exactly precise. The way we remember things is a mix of accuracy and fancy... To accomplish all this, I wanted the composition to develop from simple tones and to return to them, all the while researching new combinations and sonorities in the quintet.\" Husa put his love of birds into his Five Poems for wind quintet, \"for these wonderful creatures, who embellish our lives so magically\"; he employs a wide range of musical resources including microtones and aleatory. In the Serenade, the superb BelfiatoQuintet is joined by the Prague Philharmonia led by Emmanuel Villaume, and inRecollections by Matous Zukal, a major talent among today's young pianists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 099925436926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supraphon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.27.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366493667496,"sku":"13313863","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4455094-3445067.jpg?v=1774553765"},{"product_id":"pre-order-sophie-pacini-bittersweet-cd-new-n","title":"Sophie Pacini - Bittersweet (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eBittersweet - Sophie Pacini's own collection of encouraging masterpieces that feels like a gentle embrace in the midst of crises and challenges.

The three musicians became companions on a journey that has now lasted for 25 years. They have defined their own sound and consistently push the boundaries of what is musically possible in a trio formation. The musical combination of influences from Finland and Berlin results in an original, wild and creative jazz music. Klima Kalima uses elements from rock, blues and folk to give their modern jazz sound a quirky and unique touch.The album 'Finn Noir' was released in 2013 (Enja Records), followed by the live album 'Live' (Planet Berlin 2022). These, along with their earlier albums 'Loru', 'Chasing Yellow' and 'Helsinki on My Mind', received excellent international reviews. They won the New German Jazz Award in 2008 and have performed concerts across Europe.Their new album 'Voyager Blues' will be released in fall 2025 on TYXart records. This project revolves around the twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and 2, which are located in the boundary zone of the solar system. One by one, the instruments on board are being shut down, in the hope that enough energy remains for the remaining devices to function until 2030. The musical project 'Voyager Blues' centers on these dying probes, with the band Klima Kalima providing the soundtrack to an imaginary film about the increasingly lonely and fading spacecraft. This theme also resonates with the lifestyle of the three musicians, who seem destined to be on the road for life.Over 25 years of hard work - through endless cycles of composing, rehearsing, performing live, and recording - the trio has developed it's own language. The magazine 'Jazzthetik' wrote of their last album: \"Monk-ish in a cheerfully stubborn spirit, but not in repertoire, the three developed a richly packed program of distortions, exaggerations, and intensifications.\"In this project, the group returns to it's musical roots. This freer musical language is essential in 'Voyager Blues' to reflect the endless loneliness of the probes and allows even more space for ideas and dialogue among the musicians. Musically, this time the focus is on a narrative, melodic language. The basic concept is the blues - it's simplicity and clarity echo the solitary nature of dying. Alongside are melodies and polyrhythmic layers, interpreted in rock-inspired, constant dialogues between the musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4250702802044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tyxart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.17.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366494453928,"sku":"66232104","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4474340-3493539.jpg?v=1774553779"},{"product_id":"pre-order-daniel-matejca-shostakovich-prokofiev-vn-cons-cd-new-n","title":"Daniel Matejca - Shostakovich \u0026 Prokofiev: Vn Cons (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eExciting music by Shostakovich and Prokofiev played by a violinist of the new generationIn 2022, it was with Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto that Daniel Matejca, 17 years old at the time, triumphed at the competition Eurovision Young Musicians. Reviewers at journals including Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, and Classica enthusiastically compared his Supraphon debut album of the complete sonatas for solo violin by Eugene Ysaye (2023) with recordings made by today's star violinists. It was clear that after that solo album, Matejca would soon return to the studio to record Shostakovich's First Concerto. The composer wrote it in 1947\/48 for David Oistrakh. Shostakovich, however, had been labelled a \"formalist\", and is prominent use of Jewish musical motifs was another obstacle under the antisemitic Soviet regime, so the premiere of this exciting work was postponed until after Stalin's death. Sergei Prokofiev worked on his First Violin Concerto intermittently between 1914 and 1917. Full of contrasting passages, the work differs sharply from Shostakovich's dramatic concerto. Daniel Matejca is in his element in both concertos, playing with stirring energy and technical virtuosity, expressing a wide range of emotions, ranging from rawness to delicacy and captivating depth.

Under the direction of Marco Angioloni, the Orchestre de l'Opera Royal delivers a Sosarme that is both innovative and filled with vitality and emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3760385430720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chateau Versailles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.10.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366495764648,"sku":"65214860","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4474247-3493529.jpg?v=1774553799"},{"product_id":"pre-order-celil-kaya-boult-kaya-guitar-works-cd-new-n","title":"Celil Kaya  Boult - Kaya: Guitar Works (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelil Refik Kaya is a contemporary guitarist and composer in the great tradition of artists who have created their own unique contribution to the repertoire.

Chaos has always been perceived as a threat, but also as the foundation of life. Various creation stories explain how the world arose out of disorder, out of \"mayhem\". In like manner, it is anarchic spirits in particular that are credited with the ability to create masterpieces of creative art. This conception was perhaps most neatly expressed by Friedrich Nietzsche: \"You must have chaos within you, if you are to give birth to a dancing star.\" The present album is made up of works which, if you like, harbour the sound of chaos. Originally written for a wide variety of instruments, these pieces are arranged here for string quartet and are connected by improvised interludes - linking passages for which the Hungarian composer Samu Gryllus has provided the basis. The Chaos String Quartet emerged from the iconic violist joke: \"Well-established, world-famous string quartet looking for a new first violin, second violin... and cellist.\" That's exactly how it happened. On Cornwall's rugged coast, during a Prussia Cove masterclass, after an illuminating lesson, a sight-reading session, and a candlelit dinner, Sara invited Susanne to form a quartet. After that first conversation, it took some time to find two other brave musicians, both beyond their mid-twenties, who were willing to embark on the exciting, sometimes complex, and risky adventure that is a string quartet. Fortunately, Eszter and Bas joined soon after, with great enthusiasm. As usual, naming proved a challenge. Some suggested using the first violinist's surname; others, a Greek god. A few warned, \"Don't start with A - there are too many.\" Then came a provocative idea: why not call it Chaos? Furthermore, the quartet enjoys inspiring the next generation, sharing it's experience as Young Artists in Residence at Vienna's University of Music and Performing Arts, cheekily sparking a little chaos among the artists of tomorrow. Their recognition as BBC New Generation Artists (2023-2025) and regular appearances at venues like Wigmore Hall, Musikverein, and Concertgebouw illuminate a journey where unpredictability becomes inspiration-reminding us that from the origins of chaos can emerge music of unique order and profound beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260123645526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solo Musica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366498812072,"sku":"82452502","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4484349-3505415.jpg?v=1774553850"},{"product_id":"pre-order-pamplones-orfeon-carl-orff-carmina-burana-cd-new-n","title":"Pamplones, Orfeon - Carl Orff: Carmina Burana (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarl OrffCarmina BuranaOrfeon PamplonesEscolania de Nuestra Senora de los DesamparadosOrquesta de ValenciaAlexander LiebreichSara Blanch, sopranoJoaquin Asiain, tenorAndre Baleiro, baritoneThey are one of the most famous and frequently performed works of classical music: Carl Orff's \"Carmina Burana\".

Chopin's primary means of expression-the language with which he expressed everything he wanted to say-was his melody: the most beautiful kind known to man. For Chopin, however, this melody was more than that; it was a reflection of reality, behind which lay a real image or event. Heinrich Neuhaus pointed out the autobiographical character of Chopin's oeuvre. And it is precisely this autobiographical character that has helped countless people find themselves in their own biographies. This explains the immense popularity and universal appeal of his works, which are cherished all over the world. On this double CD, Boris Bloch presents a selection of Mazurkas, etudes, Impromptus, the four Ballades, and the second Piano Sonata, Op. 35.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9003643993617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gramola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.24.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366499401896,"sku":"18207378","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4456861-3447437.jpg?v=1774553859"},{"product_id":"pre-order-ilaria-sinicropi-martucci-son-op-34-works-op-31-mazurka-op-35-cd-new-n","title":"Ilaria Sinicropi - Martucci: Son Op. 34 Works Op. 31 \u0026 Mazurka Op. 35 (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew recordings of neglected but compelling piano works from the spring of Giuseppe Martucci's career.Martucci composed all the pieces on this album during the year 1876. As Ilaria Sinicropi observes in her booklet essay, Martucci was 'a composer in the making', in the first flush of his talent. In finding his own voice for instrumental composition, he looked naturally northwards, to the other side of the Alps, and in particular to Schumann and to Brahms, with their strong narrative arcs, their expansion of traditional models such as sonata form and their richly chromatic but disciplined harmony. The more adventurous language of the Capriccio e Serenata Op.57 was yet to come. Yet the first movement of the Piano Sonata - mysteriously neglected by pianists until now, with no other recordings in the current catalogue - already shows Martucci stretching his wings, and adapting the fantasy-style of Schumann to the ends of his own lyrical style. Sinicropi hears within it a powerful evocation of nature in the mould of Grieg's Lyric Pieces, and it prefigures the imposing intensity of expression in the third-movement Andante, with a scintillating Scherzo to serve as intermezzo and a Lisztian finale which synthesizes elements of chorale, fugue and rondo. The suite of Four Pieces Op.31 do not venture into the Sonata's ambitious terrain, cast by and large in a vein of gentle introspection, but they too reward close listening (which again is only now possible with Ilaria Sinicropi's recording). In fact the opening Nocturne is the most developed piece of the quartet, belying it's title with fiery outbursts and unexpected pauses. The following barcarolle and Romance may be heard as songs without words in a stylish emulation of Mendelssohn, before a final 'Dolce Ricardo's (Sweet Memory) returns to the tripartite but eventful form of the Nocturne. Finally, the Mazurka Op.35 makes a graceful encore, 'deeply rooted in the Italian tradition and the expressive style typical of mannerism,' according to Ilaria Sinicropi. Her affinity with this music is abundantly clear from her playing as well as her writing, and with this album she makes an auspicious debut on Piano Classics, which is sure to attract wider attention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5029365103183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piano Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.24.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366499795112,"sku":"445762","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4446482-3422626.jpg?v=1774553866"},{"product_id":"pre-order-nathalie-ehwald-last-sons-dances-cd-new-n","title":"Nathalie Ehwald - Last Sons - Dances (CD) (New (N))","description":"\u003cp\u003ePianist Natalia Ehwald's debut album on Prospero Classical is dedicated entirely to the composer Franz Schubert. In addition to a selection of his (mainly early) landler and waltzes, the artist has chosen the late piano sonatas in A major, D664, and B flat major, D960. Both sonatas are characterised by their profound emotionality and unusual and pioneering harmonies. Particularly noteworthy is the fusion of lyrical melodies with complex structural elements that emphasise Schubert's singular mastery. They also show a remarkable development in form and expression, making them a high point in Schubert's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4262353970812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prospero Classical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.24.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55366499958952,"sku":"447701","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5456\/8872\/files\/4439411-3412797.jpg?v=1774553870"}],"url":"https:\/\/tumbleweedsct.com\/collections\/new-classical-artists-copy.oembed?page=10","provider":"Tumbleweeds Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
