With “A Fleeting Glimpse”, Bjørn Riis has let his inspiration from Pink Floyd really come forth. Here he offers four new songs just under 30 minutes, where you can really cherry pick the Pink Floyd references throughout the listen. Riis even got Durga McBroom, one of Pink Floyd’s backup singers during the 80s and 90s, to do guest vocals on one of the tracks.

Max Richter is at the crossroad of many contemporary artistic languages through a wide variety of collaborations (Tilda Swinton, Robert Wyatt, Future Sound of London, Roni Size). As one might expect from a student of Luciano Berio, his work explores a very wide range of currents and influences. In this universe, film music occupies a privileged position and the variety of filmmakers Richter has worked with reflects the ductility of his inspiration.

"A voyage" is an exciting instrumental mix of concert guitar, loops, percussion, bass & soundscapes. Saalmann places the concert guitar in a new context. A cross-style album (classical, world music & ambient) with many contrasts that takes the listener on a special sound journey.

"Katabatic Lens" is the second and certainly irrefutable invitation to the inimitable artistic world of this exceptional Hungarian band.

Sonamos presents: DOGA, new studio album by Juana Molina, the eighth full-length of her career and her first album of new compositions in eight years. A record that took almost six years to brew. It was like preparing a meal for six diners with ingredients for an army. The overwhelming amount of recordings paralyzed Juana to the point that, at one moment, she thought there was no way to make an album. “Whenever I finish making an album there’s an inertia that makes me keep recording,” she says, but we can place the beginning of the composition and recording process for this new work in 2019, during the preparation for a series of concerts called “Improviset”, which Juana performed with keyboardist Odín Schwartz.

"Borrow or Rob" features never before heard tracks from Andrew Bird in celebration of 20 years of the Mysterious Production of Eggs.

GRAMMY-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey brings her annual holiday series.

Contains the complete stereo and quadraphonic mixes of "Azteca" KC/CQ 31776 (1972) and the complete stereo mix of "Pyramid of the Moon" KC 32451 (1973). n 1984, music critic Dave Marsh put forward the bold thesis that all rock'n'roll had a Latin American coloration. Even today, rock history is still told as a largely black and white story, although the Latin American influence is evident: from the Afro-Cuban precursors of the Bo Diddley beat to the Eastside and Tex-Mex pioneers of garage rock and the Chicano influences on punk, disco and hip-hop. After Santana's earthquake-like debut at Woodstock in 1969, a wave of Latin rock rolled out of California, sweeping up everyone from Marvin Gaye to the Rolling Stones. Columbia soon relied on a visionary 16-piece orchestra led by former Santana drummer Thomas "Coke" Escovedo: Azteca.

The Hamburg-born Ferdinand Thieriot (1838–1919) not only shared a teacher – Eduard Marxsen – with Brahms; both composers, who remained friends in later years, use a similar musical language, one which is richly melodic and effortlessly contrapuntal.

The very first EP from the album E.MOTION with Anastasia Calmus will be released on all streaming platforms on November 7th !

Alongside Alessandro Scarlatti, many composers contributed to the flourishing of Neapolitan opera in the 18th century. Most have since been forgotten, their works lying dormant in the archives of the Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella. Harpsichordist Ignacio Prego conducts Xavier Sabata, Alicia Amo, and his ensemble Tiento Nuovo in bringing back to life some of the finest, never-before-recorded arias by Sarri, Vinci, and Vignola.

Tchaikovsky was already put in front of a piano at the age of four. Two years later, there was astonishment at his rapid progress. Although he never envisaged a career as a pianist, Tchaikovsky would compose much more for this instrument than one might think: numerous short pieces, including the famous Seasons, up until the late 18 Pieces, op. 72 (1893), whose waltzes, mazurkas and polacca would be a farewell to the dance rhythms that he loved so much… But also two sonatas, not to mention his two concertos, the trio op. 50 or his pieces for violin and piano, such as the melancholy Souvenir d’un lieu cher,
op. 42 (Reminiscence of a cherished spot) – contemporaneous with the Children’s Album, op. 39.

L'Association Osez-les-Arts invites you to discover the new album by Ensemble Double Face during an exceptional evening in Heiligenstein!

For his performance of Johannes Brahms’s symphonies, Kirill Petrenko returns to their roots – and to his own: in Meiningen. Hans von Bülow was the first to perform Brahms’s works there, before Fritz Steinbach succeeded him as court conductor in 1886. Thanks to Brahms’s regular visits to Meiningen, Steinbach became extremely familiar with his music during his 17 years at the court – and meticulously recorded the composer’s wishes as performance notes in the scores.

Two German Romanticism enthusiasts, Raphaël Sévère and Adam Laloum, have planned a trip for us on the wings of song. Transcribing for clarinet and piano some of the most beautiful lieder of Schumann, Wagner, and Brahms, without the help of words they have unveiled all their poetry and their indescribable colors.
