While Chopin's delicate style seemed out of place in an era dominated by virtuosic performers like Liszt and Rubinstein, period pianists found ways to adapt his works to the 'grand style' of their time.

“Bartók, for me, is truly one of the most important composers, on a par with Beethoven and Mozart.” In our interview about the piano works on this album, Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon constantly expressed deep admiration, a keen understanding of this music, and a strong affinity with the composer’s personality. For this musician, bringing Bartók closer to the audience as a person and an artist is a labour of love. ”I grew up with his music. It feels like a mother tongue to me. And I’m interested in everything he wrote, from the earliest works to the late ones. It’s so important to see the traditions he came from and to understand how he found his voice as a composer.”

The Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 of Jean Sibelius, originally composed in 1904 and revised in 1905, is the only concerto by Sibelius. It is symphonic in scope and included an extended cadenza for the soloist that takes on the role of the development section in the first movement.

On the threshold of an important century of life, Paolo Fresu wanted to offer this wonderful artist the opportunity to finally tell his story in a solo work (the first of his long life at 94 years of age), also giving a philosophical contribution to the accordion, a particular and often neglected instrument in the panorama of African-American music and towards which, as towards bellows instruments in general (see the works of Daniele Di Bonaventura and Pierpaolo Vacca published in recent years), the label shows a firm and important desire to valorize it.

Kate Bush releases Best of The Other Sides on Fish People. The release is due to demand from those unable to access the original release of The Other Sides, which was part of the 2018 remastered box sets featuring B sides and extra tracks that had never appeared on an album. ‘The Other Sides’ is no longer available. 3 of the tracks on Best of The Other Sides have been remastered. The release comes at a time when Kate’s song ‘Army Dreamers’ is skyrocketing online, looking set to become her second most streamed track after ‘Running Up That Hill’. Perhaps the popularity of ‘Army Dreamers’ right now is a reflection of the current conflicts around the world, a theme Kate has recently returned to with her award-winning anti -war short film ‘Little Shrew’ - winner of Best Animation at the New York Animation Festival.

George Butterworth, one of the pre 1914 generation lost in the Great War, left a small but enduring body of work. He was introduced to folk music by Vaughan Williams, but he was also a dancer and collector of folk songs and dances – especially those from Sussex. It is however his A.E Houseman inspired orchestral Rhapsody ‘A Shropshire Lad’ that has become his most famous composition and seems to conjure up a powerful sense of the countryside of that county, and melancholy at the waste and futility of war.
