It’s only recently that Bronsart von Schellendorf’s career as a composer has been more widely acknowledged. Liszt, however, was aware of Bronsart’s prowess, referring to his orchestral work Frühlings-Fantasie as “beautiful and invaluable” and later declaring “I value him as a character and a musician.” Even a cursory listen to the Piano Concerto reveals a composer working in ambitious dimensions and with an extrovert musical language. Rich in melodic and emotional content, Bronsart’s piano writing gives ample opportunity for virtuoso display while delivering his musical arguments with power and precision. Bronsart's good friend Hans von Bülow, another pupil of Liszt, had toured the work from 1870 onwards.

The Athens State Orchestra is the oldest symphony orchestra in Greece. On the occasion of Mikis Theodorakis' 100th birthday, GENUIN evokes the spirits of his homeland and of classical antiquity in three symphonic works by Greece’s most famous composer—works that played an important role toward the end of his life: from the early „Sinfonietta“ in a new version, through the folk-inspired „Rhapsody for Guitar and Orchestra“, to the equally moving nine-part „Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra“, Theodorakis’s last orchestral work. The young, rising Kornilios Michailidis leads Greece’s premier orchestra with verve, while the album’s soloists contribute at the highest standard of playing to these remarkable recordings!

This release is the world première recording of Estonia’s first major work in art music in its original score and sung in Estonian.

In this recording the composer’s magnum opus, Joonas (Jonah Oratorio) is performed by a first-class Estonian line up led by the award-winning ensembles Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and conductor Tõnu Kaljuste.

In an orchestra, the trumpet, at least until the beginning of the 20th century, is mainly being used to play some kind of fanfare, announcing glory, war or victory. It is safe to say that only in jazz this instrument has shown its full sonic and emotional potential. The muted trumpet of Miles Davis has nothing to do with triumph. But of course, jazz trumpet players can just as well use the techniques and styles of classically trained musicians. In a decent jazz orchestra, first trumpet and drummer always take the lead.

This project is a deeply personal musical album rooted in Jewish themes, reinterpreted through the lens of personal history, memory, and a search for identity. At its centre is Kol Nidre–an ancient prayer that has long sparked debate and inspired classical composers. The album weaves together tradition, childhood memories, forgotten music, the voices of repressed composers, and musical bridges between cultures. It is more than just a collection of pieces - it is a musical reflection on heritage, hope, and belonging. The album includes two world premiere recordings.

On 'Changing perspectives' German composer and clarinettist Rebecca Trescher offers her fellow musicians rhythmically, melodically, and motivically challenging pieces that also provide opportunities for adventure. Music that moves beyond standardised forms and requires everyone in the ensemble to step out of their comfort zone and be prepared to experiment with shifting roles.

The new album by bossa nova legend and harmonica master Mauricio Einhorn - produced by Jacques Muyal. With the Idriss Boudrioua Orechestra arranged by Rafael Rocha and with guest artists Paquito D´Rivera and Lula Galvão.
In jazz, we all know the harmonica master, Mr. "Baron" Toots Thielemans, but we are equaly fortunate to have our "Prince", Mauricio Einhorn. His early contributions in the 1950s to the birth of the Samba Jazz movement in Brazil played a pivotal role in the creation of Bossa Nova, a genre that quickly became an integral part of the jazz world. The influence of jazz on Brazilian music - exemplified by the great Carlos Lyra in "Influencia Do Jazz" - was so profound that local musicians embraced it to forge a new musical identity. Many of Einhorn´s compositions have become timeless standards performed worldwide since the early 1950s and ´60s.
