What happens when traditional Sami music meets mainstream western sacred music? This is the question Cantus meets head-on in Spes. Under the direction of its conductor Tove Ramlo-Ystad, and in collaboration with composer and musician Frode Fjellheim, the choir explores a new and little-known musical world, a world with a wide range of emotions: sorrow, joy and vulnerability. Through these songs, sounds and musical forms - some familiar, others scarcely known - Cantus challenges both itself and its audience with a repertoire which, while being striking in its variety, is united in one thing: its expression of hope in the music by Frode Fjellheim, Mia Makaroff, Eriks Esenvalds, Eva Ugalde, Ko Matsushita, Knut Nystedt, Franz Xaver Biebl and Kim André Arnesen.

Xhosa Cole is a name that has been bandied about for the best part of a decade now. After winning the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 2018, it felt like everyone was waiting for the contemporary jazz artist to live up to his hype, or implode because of it. With each new album Cole has grown in confidence as a player and songwriter. Now, on his third album – a love letter and reinterpretation of works by musical idol, Thelonious Monk – we’re starting to see the fruition of that praise and work ethic paying off.

Mark Kirschenmann’s Tonics is a collection of seven melodies composed and performed on an acoustic trumpet vibrating with a bamboo mouthpipe, which replaces the traditional mouthpiece. The sound is quiet, flute-like, and delicate, opening new identities for the instrument. The curvaceous modal melodies are interwoven with improvisations that emerge from the melodic sources. The tunes unfold freely out of time and are enhanced by various ensembles of strings, percussion, voices, and prepared piano.

We sought to give this collection of pieces a unique character through the use of instruments, bows, and strings, each corresponding respectively to the practices of the Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary periods. Each work is imbued with a distinct sound, texture, and color. Through these subtle nuances, we offer a musical journey through time centered around the music of three women who, each in their own way, left a mark on their era: Maddalena Laura Lombardini Sirmen, Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn, and Alicia Terzian.

Neil Young There are not many people who have made such a long journey across eras and styles without their fans' devotion waning at all… Like David Bowie, Neil Young is one of those artists whose talent transcends genres and fashions. From dreamy folk to furious, cataclysmic rock, the Canadian singer-songwriter has mastered his art from end to end. But it is surely his writing that sets him apart as an artist. A real personality on the rock scene, he has been venerated by old hippies, budding punks, and cowboy rebels. Neil Young has found the perfect alloy of rock'n'roll, country, blues and folk.

Released in collaboration with the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music in New York and coinciding with celebrations of Sir Simon Rattle's 70th birthday in January 2025, the London Symphony Orchestra's signature label will release a new recording of Weill's stinging critique of capitalist society, 'The Seven Deadly Sins'.

The Kreutzer Quartet has long been at the forefront of contemporary classical music, known for their enduring collaborations with a diverse range of composers. This album, Something So Transporting Bright, exemplifies their deep engagement with composers of multiple generations, from the late Gloria Coates, who began working with the quartet in 1992, to emerging voices like Tom Metcalf and Joel Järventausta, both in their twenties. The four featured works capture a profound sense of artistic exchange, reflecting the quartet’s unique position as both interpreters and collaborators.
