A crucial introduction to the 'King of Kikuyu Benga' and the first career-spanning retrospective of the incredible catalogue of the late, great Joseph Kamaru.

The popular Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series continues with a very special digital release from Joseph Havlat. A former student of the Academy, receiving awards for exceptional merit in studentship and the highest possible recital mark for a postgraduate pianist, Joseph Havlat is a fast-rising pianist and composer, having performed in major concert venues around the UK, Europe, America, Japan and Australia. For his album on Linn, he has chosen to present a selection of music he loves and regularly plays. Both a homage and a remembrance, the core of this album is folk music, of a melodic kind from Janáček and a rhythmic kind from Martinů. Bookending the narrative are works by Kurtág and Havlat himself, acting as prologue and epilogue.

During the reign of Le Roi Soleil Louis XIV, music played the fundamental role of defining and consolidating the centrality of power: music had to represent the grandeur and divine nature of the sovereign, the power and splendour of the French crown.

Everybody Scream is the upcoming sixth studio album by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. It is set to be released on 31 October 2025 through Polydor Records. It follows their 2022 album Dance Fever.

Racines is the musical project of Laurent Perrault-Jolicoeur, a McGill-qualified jazz bassist, and Zal Sissokho, a korafola known for his off-the-beaten-track projects such as Kora Flamenca and Famalé. Together, the two composers seek to reweave and retrace the links between Mandingo and jazz music through their compositions that hybridise the rhythms, harmony and improvisation of each of these traditions.

A Storm Is Coming is a ten-track journey from tension to release, where blues-rock soul and alternative edge collide. Led by Rebecca's characteristic, powerhouse vocal, the album marries guitar punch, Hammond glow and chant-along refrains that will be at home both on radio and in a room full of raised voices.

HOWLING GIANT take another huge step on their third full-length "Crucible & Ruin", a collection of sparking ideas, captivating melodies, and heavy riffing close to perfection - quite a feat of on-point songwriting for such a still young band! This is the band's first album to feature new fourth member Adrian Lee Zambrano. Although the guitarist and synth player arrived somewhat toward the end of the writing process, he was still able to add his mark with cool textures on the record. The extra guitar certainly adds even more punch to HOWLING GIANT 's sound, which delivers a slightly more aggressive approach compared with predecessor "Glass Future" (2023).

The culmination of an extraordinary 9-year collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra's Principal Guest Conductor, Gianandrea Noseda, LSO Live proudly presents Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos 1-15.

The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge presents a selection of ten favourite anthems from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The piano music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is often upheld alongside that of his contemporary Claude Debussy as quintessentially French and Impression­ist. The reality is more complicated. Neither he nor Debussy were fond of the term ‘Impressionist’ at all, and although born in southern France, there wasn’t really much that was ‘French’ about Ravel. His father was Swiss (not for nothing did Stravinsky nickname Ravel a ‘Swiss clockmaker’) and his mother was Span­ish Basque. If he’d been born eight kilometres further south, Spain could have claimed Ravel as her own. But the family moved to Paris just a few months after Mau­rice was born, which meant his musical upbringing benefited from everything that the capital could offer.

The third volume that Francesco Tristano dedicates to his beloved Johann Sebastian Bach, following the six Partitas and the six English Suites, comprises all seven Toccatas, BWV 910-916, early works likely dating from the period 1707-1715. Here, the Luxembourger celebrates above all the exuberant, captivating joy of the young Bach.

Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt fascinates with the poetry and depth of his interpretation, marking Rachmaninov’s music with rare elegance and vibrant sensitivity.

In this imaginative and personal recording, violinist Marie Radauer-Plank explores the far-reaching influence of J.S. Bach–without playing a single note by him. Known for her stylistic sensitivity and curiosity-driven repertoire choices, Radauer-Plank traces the subtle connections between Bach's solo violin works and the music of those who came before and after him. From Johann Paul von Westhoff's 17th-century suites to Ivan Khandoshkin's classical lyricism, from Eugene Ysaye's haunting 'Obsession' to Arthur Honegger's wartime homage–and culminating in 'A Shelter for Imagining', a new work by Charlotte Bray–this album reveals how Bach's presence continues to inspire across centuries.
