The NHK Symphony Orchestra, which marks its 100th anniversary in October 2026, takes on Mahler's "Symphony No. 5" together with its Chief Conductor Fabio Luisi. The NHK Symphony Orchestra has earned high acclaim with works such as "Symphony No. 8" in 2023 and "Symphony No. 3" and "Symphony No. 4" at the "Mahler Festival 2025" in 2025, and this is a long-awaited challenge in that flow. In the first movement, "Funeral March," deep shadows are carved into the somber rhythm, and in the second movement, a dramatic development in which passion and silence intersect is vivid. In the third movement, a dynamic scherzo centered on the horns evokes the Viennese tradition. In the fourth movement, "Adagietto," impressively used in "Death in Venice," an aesthetic resonance drifts, and in the final movement the music turns dramatically into a surging torrent. This is the birth of a masterful performance in which the aesthetics of Luisi and the NHK Symphony Orchestra come to fruition. Recording: April 16 and 17, 2026, Suntory Hall.

William James "Count" Basie was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. In 1935, he formed the Count Basie Orchestra, and in 1936 took them to Chicago for a long engagement and their first recording. He led the group for almost 50 years, creating innovations like the use of two "split" tenor saxophones, emphasizing the rhythm section, riffing with a big band, using arrangers to broaden their sound, his minimalist piano style, and others.

Johann Daniel Paklitz – until recently, this name was completely unknown even among connoisseurs of early music. Now the 2nd series of an equally outstanding and ambitious collaborative recording featuring Andrzej Sadejko and the Goldberg ensemble in the Baroque style is being released, and at least now there can be no doubt: this late Baroque composer from Gdańsk has long deserved a place among the greatest musicians in Germany.

With the LP Key Energy, released on Blue Keys Productions, Jef Neve takes his creativity to the next level while, by and large, remaining true to his style. Jef Neve is a Belgian pianist and composer whose work is situated between jazz, solo piano moments, and elements of contemporary classical music; he operates equally as a sensitive interpreter and as the arranging mind behind the music. The compositions on Key Energy are guided by melodic incisiveness and harmonic sophistication, with the keyboard serving as the central vehicle of expression and allowing space for subtle rhythmic nuances. The pieces balance structured compositional writing with improvised sections, bringing both intimate solo passages and chamber-like dialogues to the fore. For listeners who appreciate clearly contoured melodies and thoughtfully conceived structures, this LP represents a logical, consistent continuation of Neves artistic profile.

Oan Kim & the Dirty Jazz return with Infinity Shakes, a bold and cinematic third studio album that solidifies their singular “dirty jazz” sound: where the fragile elegance of Chet Baker collides with the atmospheric intensity of Radiohead, as if a movie directed by David Lynch. Recorded at the iconic La Frette studio and produced by Mathis Pascaud, the album unfolds across eleven tracks blending indie rock textures with jazz influences and dreamlike storytelling. Featuring collaborations with Melody Gardot and Arthur Teboul, Infinity Shakes moves between haunting intimacy and raw energy, where each song feels like a scene suspended between reality and fantasy. With this new album, Oan Kim & the Dirty Jazz not only confirm the sophistication and emotional depth of their universe, but push it further: crafting a timeless, genre-defying work that resonates like a vivid, poetic and cinematic shock.
