IS THE TIME, a special album of highlights from his career as Warp's longest serving artist and an essential release documenting one of the most continuously inventive musical minds of the last quarter of a century.

Transcription as Translation brings together two rarely heard symphonic transcriptions by two major 20th-century conductors who were eager to perform from the podium some of their favourite non-orchestral works and present them to a wider audience.

The Nashville Symphony has evolved since the 1980s into a nationally recognized ensemble that has championed contemporary music and drawn new audiences with innovative crossover programming. Music director Giancarlo Guerrero has begun to amass a large recorded legacy with frequent releases on the Naxos label.The group's full name is Nashville Symphony, not Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It traces its background to 1920, when Vanderbilt University musicologist and critic George Pullen Jackson founded a Symphony Society consisting of local professional and amateur musicians.

“Emmanuel contributed impeccable musicianship and masterful comic timing, and his charismatic personality connected strongly with the audience” - Wexford Opera Festival

Collin Raye — 25 Years, 25 Hits is a landmark compilation album released by country artist Collin Raye to commemorate his 25th anniversary as a recording artist. Instead of simply releasing a collection of old recordings, Raye and producer KellySchoenfeld re-recorded all 25 of his biggest hits, including all 16 chart-topping singles, and added three new bonus tracks. The artist aimed to create the "definitive CR collection" of his legacy, ensuring that each song maintained its familiarity while achieving a fresh, contemporary sound. This edition is considered an artistic "masterpiece" that summarizes his career, which is marked by a blend of country-rock tunes and socially conscious ballads.

The Accademia Bizantina is an ensemble specialized in the performance of 17th and 18th century musical repertoire on period instruments, although it also includes the repertoire of Monteverdi and some late Renaissance composers.

Cheap Trick Combining a love for British guitar pop songcraft with crunching power chords and a flair for the absurd, Cheap Trick provided the necessary links between '60s pop, heavy metal, and punk. Their sound provided a blueprint for both power pop and arena rock; it also had a long-lived effect on both alternative and heavy metal bands of the '80s and '90s (and beyond), who often relied on the same combination of loud riffs and catchy melodies. The band's early albums were filled with highly melodic, well-written songs that drew equally from the crafted pop of the Beatles, the sonic assault of the Who, and the tongue-in-cheek musical eclecticism and humor of the Move.

Claudio Santoro’s late works are marked by great concision and considerable emotional density. The music on this album was written in the last months of his life. The Viola Concerto and the Concerto for Chamber Orchestra juxtapose restless energy and expansive – if at times desolate – lyricism. The powerful Symphony No. 13 shows Santoro’s mastery of orchestration and form at its peak, and the compact Symphony No. 14 was to be the last in a cycle widely acclaimed as the most significant of its kind ever composed in Brazil.

For Quatuor Arod, the six string quartets in Haydn’s opus 76 “represent the apogee of the Classical style, but they are also ageless, presenting almost infinite possibilities”. This Haydn project – the Paris-based quartet’s first Erato recording of works from the late 18th century – has been close to Arod's heart for a long time.“Haydn, the founding father of the string quartet, composed the op. 76 quartets in his mid-sixties. Representing Haydn in all his maturity, achievement and mastery as he exploits a broad expressive palette, they constitute a turning point in the history of the quartet as a genre. They undoubtedly influenced Beethoven.”

Among the main achievements during Daniel Barenboim's fifteen-years long mandate as musical director of the Orchestre de Paris, the Mozart recordings occupy the top spots, notably with a fiery rendition of the Jupiter symphony, made available on digital for the very first time, and a Requiem enhanced by the vocal presence of such soloists as Kathleen Battle or Matti Salminen. Coupled with the delicate Little Night Music, all these recordings come in a remastering restoring them to their full glory.

Reissued for the first time since 1987, Bryan Ferry’s ‘Bête Noire’ is a masterclass in moody sophistication, blending art-pop, jazz-tinged balladry and late-’80s electronic textures into a rich, cinematic whole. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the album features collaborations with some of the era’s finest musicians, including guitarist Johnny Marr (The Smiths), whose co-writing credit on the brooding lead single “The Right Stuff” brings an edgier undercurrent to Ferry’s signature style. Other highlights include the sultry “Kiss and Tell” and the hauntingly atmospheric “Limbo,” both of which showcase Ferry’s ability to fuse romance and intrigue with sonic elegance. With production contributions from Patrick Leonard (known for his work with Madonna), Bête Noire stands as one of Ferry’s most ambitious and polished solo statements — a collector’s essential and a hidden treasure from one of British pop’s most distinctive voices.

The viola bastarda is much more than just a specific instrument: it is also a technique for playing the viola da gamba that involves developing a vast skill in ornamentation over the entire range of the instrument and covering all the tessituras from bass to soprano. Today’s performers are faced with a repertoire compiled by a few virtuosos, while at the same time they have to reconstitute a performing practice that exists only in a few historical treatises. Manon Papasergio has devoted her first recording to this art form and its development during the exciting transitional period from the Renaissance to the Baroque.

The elegant and versatile pianist Young Hyun Cho continues her ambitious project to record all 32 Beethoven Sonatas with this double album that includes Sonatas 1-4, 19, and 20 on two CDs. Her previous release of Sonatas 12-15 has been universally praised by critics and audiences: “Cho’s complete set of Beethoven’s sonatas would be well worth acquiring,… she would appear to be the perfect pianist for the project, given her impeccable technique and the clarity of expression and articulation.”

While the famous Te Deum secured Charpentier's place in history, it was undoubtedly his Messe de Minuit that most contributed to his renown. True to Charpentier's genius, this mass is a perfect synthesis of the secular and the sacred, popular melodies and refined composition, offering a piece of remarkable originality and joy. These melodies, familiar to all, peasants and gentlemen alike, are enriched by orchestral parts and interwoven with subtle counterpoint and renewed harmony. The pleasure of music is thus offered to everyone: to recognise a familiar tune, or to grasp its extraordinary arrangement. Under the direction of Gaetan Jarry, the Marguerite Louise ensemble sublimates these Latin oratorios and French pastorals, infusing the Christmas celebration with unparalleled fervour!
