HOWLING GIANT take another huge step on their third full-length "Crucible & Ruin", a collection of sparking ideas, captivating melodies, and heavy riffing close to perfection - quite a feat of on-point songwriting for such a still young band! This is the band's first album to feature new fourth member Adrian Lee Zambrano. Although the guitarist and synth player arrived somewhat toward the end of the writing process, he was still able to add his mark with cool textures on the record. The extra guitar certainly adds even more punch to HOWLING GIANT 's sound, which delivers a slightly more aggressive approach compared with predecessor "Glass Future" (2023).

The piano music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is often upheld alongside that of his contemporary Claude Debussy as quintessentially French and Impression­ist. The reality is more complicated. Neither he nor Debussy were fond of the term ‘Impressionist’ at all, and although born in southern France, there wasn’t really much that was ‘French’ about Ravel. His father was Swiss (not for nothing did Stravinsky nickname Ravel a ‘Swiss clockmaker’) and his mother was Span­ish Basque. If he’d been born eight kilometres further south, Spain could have claimed Ravel as her own. But the family moved to Paris just a few months after Mau­rice was born, which meant his musical upbringing benefited from everything that the capital could offer.

In this imaginative and personal recording, violinist Marie Radauer-Plank explores the far-reaching influence of J.S. Bach–without playing a single note by him. Known for her stylistic sensitivity and curiosity-driven repertoire choices, Radauer-Plank traces the subtle connections between Bach's solo violin works and the music of those who came before and after him. From Johann Paul von Westhoff's 17th-century suites to Ivan Khandoshkin's classical lyricism, from Eugene Ysaye's haunting 'Obsession' to Arthur Honegger's wartime homage–and culminating in 'A Shelter for Imagining', a new work by Charlotte Bray–this album reveals how Bach's presence continues to inspire across centuries.

Jamie Lidell and Luke Schneider have created a kind of sonic tool to navigate a liminal state of mind.

Do Frank Zappa and John Cage really belong on the classical piano album? To anyone who might be harbouring doubts, the answer is an emphatic ‘yes’, especially when the pianist is Marc-André Hamelin, whose own Hexensabbat brings to a riotous conclusion a programme of music—and instruments, in the case of Cage’s prepared piano—which radically disrupts Western traditions.
