This is the new recording we have been waiting for. Three years after Brahms (ALPHA792), the Belcea Quartet returns in a new formation: Suyeon Kang, their new second violin, joined the quartet in 2023. Today the Belcea Quartet presents a new recording of the Debussy Quartet — which they had previously recorded on their very first album 25 years ago — and two quartets by Karol Szymanowski, a composer they are particularly fond of and who possesses a unique and immediately identifiable musical language.

What if a song could feel like a moment you never want to end, even though you know it must? This duality exists at the heart of Stay Here Where It’s Warm, the debut album from Toronto duo Babygirl. Meticulously built, it’s a gently devastating record about fleeting intimacy, emotional refuge, and learning to let go. Babygirl–Kiki Frances and Cameron Bright–makes bittersweet pop rock that has already amassed over 50M streams. They’re now heading into their debut album via Arts & Crafts.

"For the second time in a matter of weeks, here we have an opportunity to hear more from guitarist Derek Bailey, this time performing with John Stevens. Neither man should need much by way of introduction: both were seminal figures in the world of free improvised music as it took shape in the 1960s and 70s. Thanks to Michael Gurzon’s recording, here they are, in 1989, performing together at The Duke of Wellington in London. The first track, ‘I’m Alright Actually’, begins with a series of slippery shapes, the noise-elements of Bailey’s guitar merging with those of Stevens’ percussion in a non-stop stream of invention. The music reaches a point of stasis before moving off into a series of angular shapes which give way to a stream of more slow-moving ideas. There is always a sense of restlessness though, a feeling that, at any moment, things might get more chaotic, which, inevitably, the do. The music ebbs and flows, but the inventiveness and the sense of restless energy is always there. A few seconds of applause have been left in at the end, which really captures the ambience of the venue (the same goes for both the other tracks, too). The second, ‘What’s the Time?’, begins with more spacious, harmonic-dominated ideas from Bailey, in dialogue with Stevens’ ‘pocket trumpet’. Almost seven minutes in, the music becomes more dense and agitated.

Women were not always allowed to compose – often due to restrictions imposed by their families or for social reasons.

This year, we conclude our Skymasters trilogy with the release of The Vocal Years. After Remembering The Skymasters and Legacy, we now pay tribute to the singing tradition of this legendary orchestra. The lead role on this album is reserved for Anna Serierse, whose warm voice bridges the gap between past and present. She honors the great vocalists who once performed with The Skymasters, including Greetje Kauffeld, Rita Reys, Rachel Gould, and Marjorie Barnes, and gives their repertoire a fresh, contemporary flair.
