The Süddeutsche Zeitung calls soprano Henrike Legner a promise – and now she presents her debut album on the GENUIN label. In doing so, she offers us an extraordinary, Romantic lied repertoire whose small treasures never fail to astonish: selected lieder by Felix Mendelssohn, including the finest from his estate, are brought together on this album. Brilliantly accompanied by pianist Gerold Huber, Henrike Legner’s clear and expressive voice sings us two dozen beautiful discoveries straight into the heart, with magical power!

Welcome to a journey back to the future! Herman Rarebell & Friends take you back to the eighties and together we return to our time with the greatest music of this powerful decade. Herman has chosen twelve songs to re-record with good friends and great musicians. As a tribute to the greatest hits of a time that was a golden age for him personally. Former Black Sabbath bassist Bob Daisley can be heard on this album; Dan Huff, who can be heard as a studio musician on some of the greatest albums in pop history, is there, as well as Howard Leese from the legendary US rockers Heart and singer Michael Voss (Casanova, Mad Max, Michael Schenker, among others).

Hymn is the twelfth studio album by English soprano Sarah Brightman and first since 2013's Dreamchaser. The five-year gap between both studio albums marks Brightman's longest break between studio releases. This album marks Brightman's ninth studio collaboration with producer Frank Peterson. The album was released on 9 November 2018, entering at No. 1 on both the Billboard Classical Crossover Albums and overall Classical Albums, making Brightman the female artist with the most No. 1s in both charts.

Don't Worry, It's Forever is an in-time description of love amidst loss, how it feels to straddle generations and contemplate the remains of identity as time moves on. Raw, direct and personal, this is Sister John at their finest.

Squeaky Feet is not your average jam band. Known for their complex compositions and improv-fueled live shows, the Denver-based quintet merges the raw power of progressive heavy metal with infectious dance grooves, a keen melodic sensibility, and virtuosic musicianship—a formula that finds full expression on their new album, Overview Effect.

Across the album, Talking Machine is a combination between huge pounding rockers fused with quieter moments of reflection. The band’s trademark brand of unrelenting riffs, slick surf, and finely tuned song craft are all still in place, but there’s an added refinement to the messaging in these tracks that expands on what has come before. Bell’s love of classic songwriting from Bob Dylan to Elliott Smith via Big Star’s Alex Chilton is well documented, and that education in, and homage to, the finer arts continues on the new record.

The Life of a Showgirl is the twelfth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on October 3, 2025, through Republic Records. Swift recorded it in Sweden with the producers Max Martin and Shellback, during the European leg of the Eras Tour in 2024.

Most Western music—and a lot of non-Western music, too—is rhythmically organized into groups of two, three or four beats each. You get one strong beat and a couple of weaker ones to follow it and your body understands intuitively how to respond. Start messing with fives and sevens and elevens and so forth and you’re into trickier territory. The gravitational simplicity of the smaller numbers is so strong that five is easily pulled into three and two; seven into four and three. You’re constantly switching between two different possibilities for the way the music could feel, like a room whose color quietly shifts each time you walk in anew. It can be difficult to get into a flow, because it keeps getting interrupted as soon as it begins.

Forgotten scores are brought to light, and familiar compositions are given a fresh perspective. In close collaboration with the Study Centre for Flemish Music, the recordings are founded on intensive research in libraries and archives and meticulously prepared score editions.​

On his new double album, court organist Stéphane Mottoul juxtaposes Franz Liszt's most important organ works with transcriptions of famous works by Richard Wagner, thereby revealing exciting connections between the compositional work of both composers. The giant organ of the Hofkirche St. Leodegar, built by Friedrich Haas (1858-1862) at the same time that Aristide Cavaillé-Coll created his organ in St. Sulpice in Paris, then expanded by Goll and Kuhn, is one of the largest instruments in Switzerland with five manuals, Fernwerk and Echo sections, and 103 stops.

Niño De Elche and Raül Refree have just released a joint album. Niño De Elche combines flamenco, free improvisation, krautrock and electro-acoustic music with poetry, performance, dance and theatre. Raül Refree’s profile ranges from experimental musician to producer of pop stars and composer of award-winning soundtracks.

There are only nine songs, but with a total running time of around 38 minutes, and six tracks running at more than 4 minutes the songs are allowed to breathe and stretch, her voice to swoop, soar or rumble, and her (sometimes fierce) lyrics to resonate, packed full of very direct couplets, but with no strung-out solos. Nature plays a big part in the framing of the songs, whether it be the earth, the mountains, the sky or the sea, and they reappear throughout.
