To mark the 150th anniversary of Arnold Schoenberg’s birth, the Berliner Philharmoniker have dedicated an edition to the composer in which they present five key works from all of his stylistic periods under the direction of chief conductor Kirill Petrenko.

Flugelhorn, double bass, and a drum kit played with brushes – the sound immediately puts you in the middle of it all, almost as if you were in the middle of it all. The closeness of trumpeter Quentin Ghomari's trio is immediately apparent. "The Peacocks," the classic by Jimmy Rowles, is a perfect vehicle for this.

Recorded at Abbey Road in autumn of 2024, Rainy Sunday Afternoon' nis The Divine Comedy's thirteenth album and their first studio album since 2019's Office Politics.

Regulars of Parisian jazz clubs have known Simon Chivallon for a few years already. Sideman very in vogue, the artist indeed lends his talents as a pianist to many formations - whether trio, quartet, duet… Today, the jazzman comes out of the shadows and allows himself to play in his own name.

To escape the loneliness and the winters in Moscow, Tchaikovsky traveled endlessly, crossing Europe in search of rare freedom. His stays in Paris and Florence resulted in the composition of two chamber music masterpieces – the moving String Quartet no. 3 and the celebrated string sextet titled “Souvenir de Florence”. The composer’s sensitive soul is revealed through the poetry of these works, brought to life by the Modigliani Quartet and their esteemed colleagues.

Following his first album of French lute music, Alban Tixier invites us to join him as he explores the byways of European music dating from the 13th to the 15th century.

In addition to his reputation as a dancer, the Sun King was also a musician. Under the enlightened influence of his mother, Anne of Austria, the young Louis XIV learned to play the lute and then the guitar. Once relegated to commoners, this instrument became a symbol of royal refinement. Beyond simple entertainment, this musical craze served a political purpose: to seduce the court and the people, and to weave harmony between French, Italian and Spanish cultures. Like a new King David, monarch-musician par excellence, Louis XIV crafted the image of an Apollonian sovereign, master of the arts as much as of power. Together with exceptional musicians, Lea Masson reveals this forgotten facet of the guitarist king!

Nelson Goerner has always dreamed of recording these two masterpieces of the concerto repertoire. With Kazuki Yamada, he has found the ideal partner to approach Ravel’s two piano concertos with the sensitivity and poetry for which he is universally renowned.

Accordionist Théo Ould describes this new album as “my most personal — I had never allowed myself to feature the music of Astor Piazzolla. I wanted to raise the accordion above the clichés to concentrate on more classical repertoire”. Théo’s vocation became evident, however, when he heard Piazzolla’s Libertango at the age of 6. Now, 20 years later, this Frenchman from Marseille tackles this music with fervour and exaltation through tailor-made arrangements performed alongside the Quatuor Bilitis and the double bass player Blanche Stromboni, as well as mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, who appears in a beautiful and heart-warming rendition of Balada para un loco, Piazzolla’s setting of a poem by Horacio Ferrer.

F.S.Blumm and Nils Frahm share their fifth collaborative album, 'Handling'. Containing three tracks but 40 minutes long, it finds the duo advancing from 2021’s dub-influenced 2X1=4, deploying its lessons in ambitious new territory that also nods to earlier collections. Recorded at his studio in Berlin’s Funkhaus, the album will be released by LEITER on vinyl and via all digital platforms on September 19, 2025.

With “Constellation”, Virgil Boutellis-Taft reminds us that music provides one of the best ways to travel the world. In this programme, nourished by many influences, he presents some of the milestones of the violin repertoire (Chausson’s Poème, the Janáček Violin Sonata, Danse macabre by Saint-Saëns, arranged here for two violins…)

Blockbuster Alanis Morissette Album Kick-Started a Movement, Impact Transcends Generations and Trends: 17-Million-Selling Jagged Little Pill Includes Five Hit Singles 1995 Record Presented in Audiophile Sound for the First Time for Its 30th Anniversary: Mobile Fidelity’s Hybrid SACD of 1995 Record Is Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies. When Alanis Morissette took direct aim at an ex who wronged her on the eviscerating “You Oughta Know” in 1995, everything about the Top 10 song communicated it wasn’t the usual narrative about love gone south. Or the typical wounded singer wallowing in self pity. Morissette, and both the lead single from and her entire American major-label debut – the profoundly personal Jagged Little Pill – represented a sea change. They kickstarted a movement, one whose impact continues to echo throughout the mainstream three decades later.

On her sophomore album of abidingly strange and brilliant rock songs, The Brightest Silver Fish, Léna Bartels often writes from somewhere in between emotions.

Aglow Trio is proud to present their second album: Infinities. Comprised of flutist Dr. Karen McLaughlin Large, oboist Dr. Alyssa Morris, and pianist Amanda Arrington, the trio showcases bold and expressive works by Alyssa Morris, Ingrid Stölzel, Amanda Harberg, and Tony Rodriguez. Shaped through close collaboration with the composers, this album captures a vivid spectrum of contemporary chamber music.

STARSET return with their fifth studio album SILOS, a collection of beautiful songs that delve even deeper into the world of science fiction.
