Today marks the release of "GLASS ONE," the first installment of my Philip Glass Hommage Triptych. This solo EP was recorded with the talented Terence Goodchild at Funkhaus Berlin during the summer of 2023. The collaboration with Terence and his team has been an incredibly enriching journey, allowing us to explore new musical horizons and bring this vision to life. The stunning artwork, once again crafted by the incomparable Michel Welfringer, perfectly complements the music and captures the essence of the project. I am thrilled to share this with you and look forward to the next steps in this homage to Philip Glass.

Elvis Presley’s 1973 Honolulu concert was broadcast by satellite around the world and the resulting live album was called Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite. This was reissued as 2CD set back in 2013 for its 40th anniversary, but a decade later Sony are expanding it even more and are offering a 3CD+blu-ray box set edition.

The popular vinyl series of Steely Dan reissues continues with the 1980 masterpiece "Gaucho", their last album before a lengthy 20-year album hiatus. The album also marked the end of a number of truly unrivalled years in music with classic album after classic album from one of the most exquisite sounding bands in music history. Like all vinyl reissues in the series, the album has been remastered by Bernie Grundman from an analogue tape copy.

Emerging from the pandemic like a bubble of oxygen from the ocean depths, this recording project is built around two ideas that lie at the heart of the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth. On one hand it perfectly embodies the ideal of a continuing relationship between masters and artists in residence by bringing together three generations of musicians with Miguel da Silva, Lorenzo Gatto and the young artists currently in residence at the Chapel, providing an opportunity for the former to pass on their mastery and knowledge to the latter.

The pure polyphonic quality of J.S. Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias cannot be overstated – simple yet bursting with ideas, they offer an agile introduction to late-baroque musical forms and imitative writing in general, while retaining a cantabile feel. These exquisite miniatures, transcendent of the didactic purpose to which they were relegated for too long, provide an orderly and at once concise and comprehensive survey of Bach’s soundscape. The purity and density of their musical substance, distilled in a sort of abstract and universal language, has naturally encouraged numerous arrangements from the 19th century onwards for vast array of other instruments.

Sophie Dervaux' new album "Vivaldi Bassoon Concertos" is part of her larger project to record all of 39 of Vivaldis bassoon concerts. This album presents the first 6 concertos of this journey; RV 474, RV 497, RV 481, RV 501, RV 484 and RV 473. Apart from the violin, Vivaldi wrote as many concertos for no other instrument than the bassoon, knowing expertly how to write for this instrument to highlight its unique qualities.
