With Stravagante pensiero, Rinaldo Alessandrini and the vocal soloists of his Concerto Italiano revisit the genre of the madrigal, spanning the vast landscape of musical Naples at the beginning of the seventeenth century. A host of musicians thus embraces a new, revolutionary, hyper-expressive, theatrical and feverish musical language. Intoxicating.

In 2023, the Armenian pianist Heghine Rapyan released on the Label Solo Musica her debut album featuring the complete piano sonatas of Stephan Elmas, presented as a world premiere. The international press and critics quickly showed immense interest in this beautiful and long-overlooked music. Stephan Elmas has often been referred to as the “Chopin of Armenia.”With this second CD, she continues this mission with great responsibility – bringing to light Elmas’s legacy as a true Romantic composer in the spirit of Chopin.

The illustrious French organ tradition is celebrated in this album of Toccatas and Méditations, including masterpieces drawn from across the repertoire. Charles-Marie Widor was the founding father of the French Organ School, and his Toccata from Symphony No. 5 is a cornerstone of the organ repertoire. The Méditation by his contemporary Louis Vierne is among the highlights of Romantic organ works. Duruflé, Boëllmann and Guilmant are also represented, as is a beautiful Ravel arrangement. They’re played on the magnificent Grenzing organ at Bauernkirche Iserlohn by Dariia Lytvishko – a Ukrainian-born virtuoso and one of the most lavishly gifted organists of her generation.

"After five band records, I've opened my treasure chest of personal storytelling songs that I've built up over a decade. Songs that didn't make it into other albums, some songs I never thought would see the light of day," Lou said in a press release. "I embarked on the brave and thrilling journey of recording these songs as they are, with love and playfulness, simple and all my own."

When Cory Weeds first approached me about this album, he told me, “I want young people, swinging”, so I happily hired the most swinging young people I know. I don’t think there is anything more inspiring and authentic to the history of hard bop than that. This album is an homage to many of my favorite prodigious hard-boppers, such as Kenny Dorham and Lee Morgan, but especially to people like Art Blakey. He was always a proponent of swinging hard and hiring the up-and-coming young cats. Swing has always and will continue to provide a voice for the youth. Cellar Live artists Jacob Chung and Tyler Henderson are featured on this record, as well as star-saxophonist Erena Terakubo, the constantly-hired Joey Raneiri, and the New York Native taking names, Willie Bowman.
