"AFI (The Blood Album)" from American alt-rockers AFI comes four years after the band's last release and was preceded by two teaser tracks, "White Offerings" and "Snow Cats", described respectively by Rolling Stone as "thunderous" and "dramatic". Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was co-produced by Matt Hyde (Deftones, Slipknot) and the group's guitarist Jade Puget.

All four American composers on this new album by the Basque National Orchestra and conductor Robert Trevino wrote music that was known, played and esteemed during their lifetimes, but none of them ever had a huge 'hit': the pieces here are likely familiar only to musical scholars.

The award-winning duo ensemble formed by Christian Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt are returning to the masterworks of European chamber music with this new album that includes Ludwig van Beethoven’s (1770–1827) three violin sonatas Op. 30.

Performed here by pianists Jenny Lin and Adam Tendler, Liszt’s rarely heard Harmonies poétiques et religieuses is a sublime example of Liszt’s early compositions. Lin and Tendler alternate movements of this monumental piano cycle. 'We’re raised on this stuff. It’s in our bones. And now we can come at this music with a different kind of lens.' — Adam Tendler 'This is definitely a very private Liszt, one who’s retreated to his inner self.' — Jenny Lin

Antonio Pompa-Baldi plays his solo piano arrangement of Respighi's B minor Violin Sonata, a dramatic work from his later period.

The Silver Trio brings together three composers of very different origins and epochs for its latest release. The young Ludwig van Beethoven, who came from the piano as a soloist, dared to take his first steps towards chamber music in 1794 by expanding the line-up to include two string instruments - and thus created epoch-making masterpieces that raised the equality of the three instruments to a new level.

Dances are among the valuable “raw materials” that composers of all epochs have incorporated into their works. Baroque suites are based on dance forms from various countries, classical symphonies usually contain a minuet or a dance movement, and in the nineteenth century, composers of emerging musical nations not only made use of folk songs, but also, and above all, of the dances of their native regions in order to form an independent language.

Gregor Joseph Werner (1693-1766), a major figure at the birth of Viennese classicism, has until now remained in the shadow of music history. His rich compositional art was directly rooted in the late baroque style, whilst also drawing from much earlier sources as well as pointing far ahead into the romantic era. Firmly anchored in the great contrapuntal tradition, Werner underpins the gripping progressivity and expressivity of his tonal language.

One of Germany’s most prominent pianists, Alexander Krichel from Hamburg, has brought together a couple of heavyweights for his first album with Berlin Classics. He combines the “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky, a central work of the piano literature, with a rarely heard gem by the Romanian composer George Enescu.

For their third album, the Go-Go's abandoned all pretense of being punk, or even new wave, and went for an unabashed mainstream pop masterpiece. They nearly achieved their goal with Talk Show, an album filled with great pop songs but undermined by its own ambition…
