Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Christy Doran - Disambiguation (CD) (New (N))
On Disambiguation, guitarist and composer Christy Doran joins forces with Indian tabla player Imran Khan for a vivid, border-crossing duo album that brings together rock energy, blues feeling, jazz improvisation, Irish melodic traces and the subtle rhythmic flow of Indian classical music.Doran's guitar language is instantly recognizable: shimmering textures, sharp rhythmic accents, eruptive solos, intricate patterns and a fearless sense of movement. After six decades of musical exploration, he returns here with renewed clarity to the roots that have shaped his playing: blues, rock, Hendrix, McLaughlin, improvisation and, more recently, the Irish music of his family heritage. Echoes of Uilleann pipe melodies can be heard in pieces such as 'Ode to Johnny Doran' and 'Dark Slender Boy', where folk material is transformed into Doran's own highly personal sound world.Imran Khan's tabla provides both pulse and atmosphere. A distinguished player of the Delhi Gharana, Khan brings warmth, clarity and expressive depth to the music. His gently shifting rhythmic patterns open a space in which Doran's acoustic and electric guitars can move freely between drive, abstraction, lyricism and intensity.The album title points to a kind of artistic clarification. The ambiguities are not simplified, but illuminated. Across pieces such as 'Disambiguation', 'Haute Savoie', 'Taal Pravaah' and 'Mantra On An Irish Stream', the duo creates music that is fluid, forceful and deeply rooted, yet always open to surprise.Disambiguation is a meeting of two distinctive musical voices: Christy Doran's expansive guitar art and Imran Khan's refined tabla tradition. Together they create a sound that is direct, exploratory and full of depth. UPC: 0608917125528Label: Between The LinesRelease Date: 10.2.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Laura Lootens - Shape Of My Heart (CD) (New (N))
(summary)Laura Lootens' deeply sensitive tribute to music of Romantic essence ranges from Frederic Chopin, in transcriptions by guitarists Jerzy Koenig and Tariq Harb, to La Chanson des vieux amants as sung by Jacques Brel and the sumptuous lyricism of Agustin Barrios Mangore.(complete blurb)As a teenager, Laura Lootens discovered a song by Sting that deeply moved her. From the 1993 album Ten Summoner's Tales, Shape of My Heart has remained her favourite song, to this day. She includes it as an epilogue on her second album for Naive, which she conceived as a heartfelt tribute to music of Romantic essence. At it's core lies Frederic Chopin-the epitome of Romanticism-who with his Waltzes, Mazurkas and Nocturnes delighted the salon society of the nineteenth century, those refined spaces that straddled aristocracy and bourgeoisie. He remains the ultimate embodiment of a Romanticism both profound and exquisitely elegant. Gone, then, is the demonic spirit that haunted the German guitarist's first album, 'Diabolico' (2025, V 8672), which was steeped in mysterious narratives where pacts with the devil and ghostly apparitions abounded.Yet Laura Lootens's playing retains the same poetic incisiveness in this new journey between France and the Americas. From music by Frederic Chopin, presented in subtle arrangements by her seniors, Jerzy Koenig (b. 1956), Tariq Harb (b. 1981) and Agustin Barrios 'Mangore' (1885-1944)-the latter an absolute legend among guitarists, often dubbed the 'Chopin of Latin America', in whom the refined elegance of the Polish composer lives on amid daring harmonies and richly spiced rhythms-the young Lootens, female musician and First Prize winner of the Andres Segovia Competition in 2022, offers a complete map of romantic sensibility, leading all the way to more recent times.She then traces the influence of the 'master of the mazurka', right up to the modern French chanson, including the timeless Hymne a l'amour by edith Piaf and La Chanson des vieux amants by Jacques Brel and Gerard Jouannest, and extends it further into a different aesthetic realm with one of the 24 Preludios Chopinianos (undoubtedly a 'homage') by Brazilian guitarist Sergio Assad (b. 1952). She then also includes the Assad's transcription of the Notturno by John Field, the early-nineteenth-century Irish composer who himself inspired Frederic Chopin in the development of the nocturne as a genre. A gem of the guitar repertoire, the expansive Elegie by Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856), which is imbued with lyricism as haunting as it is intense, marks the culmination of a journey that boldly affirms it's guiding credo. Within these enduring resonances of Romanticism, Laura Lootens communicates a style that alternates between restraint and incandescent intensity, making this album the ideal companion for autumn evenings by a crackling fire.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Gaia Gaibazzi - Avni Ben-Haim & Seter: Legacy - Complete Works For (CD) (New (N))
This recording brings together the complete works for clarinet and piano by Paul Ben-Haim, Mordecai Seter and Tzvi Avni, three central figures in the development of Israeli art music. All three composers were born and trained in Europe before settling in Israel, where each forged a distinctive musical voice shaped by new cultural surroundings and traditions. From Ben-Haim's richly lyrical writing, influenced by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern elements, to Seter's more introspective and historically informed approach, and Avni's later exploration of modern and experimental styles, these works offer a compelling overview of a changing musical landscape. The clarinet, long associated with both Western chamber music and Jewish musical tradition, serves as a unifying voice throughout, revealing a repertoire of striking contrast, colour and expressive depth.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Tiago Lageira - Every Petal Tells A Story (CD) (New (N))
With Every Petal Tells a Story, guitarist and composer Tiago Lageira presents an intimate musical portrait of love, commitment and the transformation of becoming a parent. Rooted in personal memory, the album unfolds like a sequence of emotional chapters: from the first spark of romance to marriage, from expectation to birth, and from uncertainty to the overwhelming discovery of a love growing beyond oneself.Lageira's music carries the imprint of several worlds. Born in Portugal and shaped by the traditions of Fado and Brazilian rhythm, he later immersed himself in Amsterdam's jazz scene, absorbing the language of improvisation, harmony and storytelling. His playing combines melodic sensitivity with rhythmic fluidity, bringing together Portuguese lyricism, modern jazz colours and a deeply personal sense of narrative.Across seven original compositions, Every Petal Tells a Story invites a rich cast of voices and instrumental guests. The album features Vanessa Torrens Juaneda, Anna Serierse, Hermine Deurloo, Jina Sudemi, Iris Feijen and Marisa Petraglia, each adding a distinct shade to Lageira's musical world. From the atmospheric opening of 'Under the Shadow of the Lotus' to the reflective closing piece 'Futuro Incerto,' the album moves through tenderness, wonder, doubt and devotion.The title reflects the album's essence: every moment, every memory and every fragile detail carries meaning. Like petals gathered from different seasons of life, these compositions form a story of love in bloom: vulnerable, resilient and profoundly human.Every Petal Tells a Story is both a personal dedication and a universal invitation: to listen closely to the quiet turning points that shape our lives, and to hear in them the music of becoming.

The ensemble works were recorded at Berlin's renowned Bonello Studio, where performances were preserved almost entirely live, retaining their organic energy and immediacy. The solo works and saxophone quartet were recorded at Guy Sternberg's celebrated Low Swing Studio, centred around it's lovingly restored vintage Neve console, whose warm, transparent sound perfectly complements the expressive depth and rich sonic palette of Ullmann's bass clarinet and chamber music.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Simon Burki - Schumann: Kreisleriana: Chopin: Ballades (CD) (New (N))
Both born in 1810, Schumann and Chopin nevertheless followed very different paths. One drew on literary and poetic sources and found inspiration in the turmoil of his own life; the other championed pure music and formal clarity. Schumann admired Chopin, while Chopin showed little more than polite indifference towards his contemporary's work. However, the Kreisleriana and Ballades brought together on this album share the same sense of fantasy and mystery, moving between impetuous outbursts, reverie and tenderness. Simon Bürki embraces their enigmas with virtuosity and depth. Tracklist: Schumann: Kreisleriana, Op. 16: I. Äußerst Bewegt Schumann: Kreisleriana, Op. 16: II.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Orchestre National De France - Mahler: Sym No. 2 Resurrection (CD) (New (N))
(summary)In October 2024, the Orchestre National de France under the baton of music director Cristian Macelaru,immersed itself in one of the great symphonic works of Gustav Mahler (1860-1911): his extraordinaryResurrection Symphony. On this new recording, the epic journey unfolds serenely, bathed in warm pastoralcolours.(complete blurb)Over two evenings on 24 and 25 October 2024, the Orchestre National de France under it's music directorCristian Macelaru immersed themselves in the extraordinary symphonic epic that Gustav Mahler wrote inthe 1890s: his utterly unrestrained Symphony No. 2, the Resurrection. What a baptism of fire! The Romanianconductor, not known for his Mahler until now, boldly takes up, in Paris, the very same score that thelegendary Leonard Bernstein conducted at his first great Parisian triumph on 13 November 1958-which as ithappens was also with the Orchestre National.More than 70 years after Bernstein, Cristian Macelaru offers a vision that is the complete opposite, with achamber-like approach of delicacy and pastoral warmth, in contrast to his illustrious predecessor'sgrandiose and solemn take. The textures are therefore amazingly light: the magnificent transparency of thestrings is answered by woodwinds brimming with freshness, discreetly revealing the roots of a composerborn not far from Prague who was passionately drawn to new sonorities and unexpected instrumentalblends. Under the Romanian conductor's direction, joined here by the luminous soprano of Hanna-ElisabethMuller and the amber-toned mezzo of Karen Cargill, the passionate journey of Resurrection becomes one ofprofound serenity. The architecture of the work remains consistently natural and supple, and the symphonyfinds it's unity effortlessly despite the remarkable diversity of soundscapes of which it is made.It was in 1888 that Gustav Mahler first conceived the large-scale symphonic piece he called Todtenfeier(Funeral Rites), in which he portrays, from the height of a steep promontory, the entire life of the hero of hisFirst Symphony, the Titan. Slightly revised, this became the introductory Allegro maestoso of the SecondSymphony, to which Mahler later added four more movements. The second takes the form of a shimmeringLandler, deceptively gracious, with interwoven motifs. The third is a scherzo based on his song DesAntonius von Padua Fischpredigt ('St. Anthony of Padua preaching to the fishes', No. 6 from Des KnabenWunderhorn). For the fourth movement, the composer draws on another song from Des KnabenWunderhorn, No. 12, Urlicht ('Primeval Light'), preserving the vocal line while altering some of theorchestration and harmonic progressions. Gustav Mahler searched a long time for inspiration for the Finale,finding it eventually while listening to a choir sing a hymn during the funeral of the great conductor Hans vonBulow. The hymn was based on words by the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, and Mahler resolved thenand there to conclude his work with this hymn to resurrection, supplementing Klopstock's text with severalverses of his own. Overall, then, Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2 opens with a meditation on death, andmoves steadily through earthly life in all it's tenderness and irony to a proclamation of faith in theresurrection-the sole subject of the Finale-in which soloists, chorus and orchestra come together in aglorious gesture of reconciliation.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Pierre Fouchenneret - Schumann: Complete Chamber Music & Vn Con (Live) (CD) (New (N))
The idea for a series of recordings devoted to the music of Robert Schumann arose from Pierre and Theo Fouchenneret's work on the Sonatas for violin and piano, and from a desire to expand the project by exploring the rest of his chamber music as well as his concertos - for Schumann treats the orchestra in a very chamber-music-like manner in his concertante works. Following the complete chamber music of Johannes Brahms, recorded on the same label, Pierre and Theo decided to launch this Schumann Collection, with the support of their long-standing collaborators in the field of chamber music: the Strada Quartet, Victor Julien-Laferriere, Florent Pujuila, Philibert Perrine, Felix Roth, Caroline Sypniewski, Sarah Fouchenneret, and Hortense Cartier-Bresson. All are soloists, quartet players and chamber musicians who also perform with orchestras, driven by a shared passion for Schumann's music, which lends itself particularly well to a series of live albums: there is a warmth, an urgency and a passion in the concert experience that are essential to performing this music well. Each concert was recorded by the b. records team with a view to this ambitious complete collection that you now hold in your hands. UPC: 3770005527976Label: B. RecordsRelease Date: 10.2.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Too Noisy Fish - Tolstoy (CD) (New (N))
With their neww album Tolstoy, Too Noisy Fish, the trio of Peter Vandenberghe (piano, compositions), Kristof Roseeuw, and Teun Verbruggen, opens a new chapter full of freedom and adventure. The moves effortlessly between composition and improvisation, between order and chaos, between what is planned and what emerges in the moment.Too Noisy Fish first made it's mark in the Belgian jazz landscape in 2011, when the rhythm section of the Flat Earth Society Orchestra decided to start pushing boundaries as a trio too. They created four albums, including 'Too Many Fish: 10 Years Too Noisy Fish', a record celebrating the ten year anniversary of the trio by inviting musician and artist friends to join them in the studio and on stage. With their upcoming album, they are once again establishing themselves as a singular trio.The band shows how music can be at once profound and light, sharp and open-hearted, fully in line with the seeming contradictions that are rife in Tolstoy's work. Each piece is a journey, unpredictable, honest, and full of twists, with freedom and adventure as the compass, and no fixed destination. The compositions breathe literature: melodies unfold like sentences, rhythms collide like characters, harmonies pose questions rather than giving answers.Too Noisy Fish remains true to it's distinctive sound world: incisive, playful, unsettling, yet always imbued with deep human warmth. On Tolstoy, the music moves freely through space, silence, humor, and melancholy.An album about the lust for life, choices, and the endless search for meaning; in sound, in silence, in freedom.

The music of composer and pianist Nicolas Worms (born in 1993 in Paris) is a space where contradictory times and places converge. He develops the concept of 'music-fiction', as in the series FLOT, released by Alpha Classics in 2024. This new album arose from the ""simple yet dizzying need to summon the unknown within me.

With four of them - the grand piano, the CP-70 electric piano, the Prophet-V analogue synthesiser and the modular system - he embarks on a grand investigation and uses his instruments as 'pieces of evidence'. L'Enquete comprises four parts and a coda. Some pieces are written in the style of a toccata or a nocturne. Others are improvised, more melodic, and others still more abstract as in any investigation, it is a matter of changing perspective, retracing one's steps, and allowing oneself to be surprised.

Aaron Messing is a composer, arranger, producer, and trumpet player, and Anni Hochhalter is a founding member and French horn player of classical chamber ensemble WindSync.

Each song encompasses it's own singular world, tethered to the next by the brass and the unique contours of the voices of Hochhalter and Messing.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Federica Gaia Caporiccio - Sgambati Collection (Italian Romantics Series) (CD) (New (N))
The most comprehensive set ever dedicated to the music of a neglected Italian Romantic, reissuing modern performances which have been recognised for their sensitivity and dynamism. As a one-time pupil of Franz Liszt, winning admiration from Richard Wagner at an early stage in his career, Giovanni Sgambati pursued a vocation outside the mainstream of 19th-century Italian music. Rather than opera, he was drawn above all to Germanic instrumental models of the concerto, quartet and symphony, prefiguring in this way the music of Martucci and Respighi as they sought to reclaim those models within an Italian tradition. Another of his successors, Alfredo Casella, paid warm tribute to him as a pioneer: 'The work of Sgambati, is of real importance in musical history it was he, at all events, who pointed the way which Italian composers are now treading in ever greater numbers, with growing confidence, and with increasing success.'Particularly notable in this set is the inclusion of the third and last of Sgambati's symphonies. The First and Second have attracted recordings elsewhere, but under the direction of Francesco Attardi, who has made modern editions of several Sgambati works, the Third is revealed as a powerful symphonic statement in five movements and three parts - in this regard, if in few others, resembling Mahler's Fifth, and taking marriage for it's programmatic theme. There is a nobility of utterance to the Third which makes a striking contrast with the blood and thunder of the G minor Piano Concerto, as well as with the intricately worked counterpoint of the Nonet for strings and the two Piano Quintets. Sgambati was agile in both mind and technique, adapting his idiom to his genres. Any listener hungry for out-of-the-way Romantic rarities will find rich rewards in this new, super-budget collection. In previous Fanfare magazine reviews, it was noted that 'Gaia Federica Caporiccio plays with a winsome freshness.' 'Caramiello's performance is more ruminative, less frenetic... this is highly recommended.' In reviewing the chamber music: 'I find Brilliant's newer recording much more to my liking.'

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Frankfurt Radio Symphony - Shostakovich: Sym No. 8 (Complete Syms Vol. 2) (CD) (New (N))
Basically, I only have two symphonies: the Fourth and the Eighth.' Shostakovich is said to have remarked. Yevgeny Mravinsky, to whom Symphony No. 8 is dedicated, wrote in his diary: 'I spent the whole evening reflecting on and sketching out the form and dramatic arc of Shostakovich's Eighth. It moves me ever more deeply each time. Especially the ""Great Terror"" section of the first movement!!'. The themes of martyrdom and the transformation of the human being into a manipulable puppet run through this unsettling and monumental work. This recording constitutes the second volume of the complete Shostakovich symphonies by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by it's music director, Alain Altinoglu.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: St Andrews Chamber Orchestra - Cedric Thorpe Davie: Orchestral Music Vol. 1 (CD) (New (N))
For the middle decades of the twentieth century Cedric Thorpe Davie (1913-83) was a mainstay of musical life in Britain - and in Scotland in particular - as an administrator, academic, choral director and, especially, composer. His many film scores brought him a wide audience, but the orchestral works he wrote for the concert hall are as good as unknown. The five works heard here, all in their first recordings, reveal craftsmanship of a high order and a natural melodic gift, in a style anchored in the soundworlds of Sibelius and Vaughan Williams - both of whom he knew personally - combined with a Scottish accent that gives this music a unique personal voice.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: SWR Symphonieorchester - Beethoven: Sym No. 7 Op. 92 (LP) (New (N))
Beethoven's Seventh Symphony emerged at a biographical crossroads, between his definitive establishment as a leading composer and the onset of increasing isolation caused by his advancing deafness. At the time of it's premiere, it was the second-longest symphony ever written, surpassed in scale only by Beethoven's own Third, the 'Eroica.' Since it's first performance in 1813, there has never been a period in which it was not counted to the composer's most popular works.Since 2025, Francois-Xavier Roth-who had already served as Chief Conductor of the SWR Symphony Orchestra Baden-Baden and Freiburg from 2011 to 2016-has been Chief Conductor of the SWR Symphony Orchestra. A musical visionary and remarkably versatile conductor, Roth has recorded and released all of Richard Strauss's tone poems, the ballets of Igor Stravinsky, the orchestral works of Ravel and Berlioz, as well as the complete symphonies of Bruckner, Mahler, and Schumann.With the present recording, Roth and the SWR Symphony Orchestra set a highly musical opening marker for a collaboration that promises to continue with great momentum in the years ahead.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Maren Gamper - Erdenschwere (CD) (New (N))
Swiss-French pianist and theatre artist Maren Gamper presents her first solo album dedicated to the work of Swiss writer, journalist and poet Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942). The album is an improvised reflection on Schwarzenbach's text ""Erdenschwere"" (""eartly heaviness""). The concept of 'earthly heaviness' is a central theme in the literary work of the Swiss author. It describes existential melancholy, a sense of rootlessness, and the deep inner conflict between a longing for freedom and the weight of one's own life.In her intense, masterful, and captivating performance, Maren Gamper brings to life the emotions and deeper layers of meaning in this text-a performance that will leave no listener unmoved. Recorded on a 1919 Bluther piano in a quiet studio on the Baltic Sea, far from the noise and distractions of everyday life, this album offers a profound meditation and an inner journey through the pain, doubt, and, ultimately, the light and love of human existence.
