Leonard Cohen, the acclaimed composer of "Hallelujah", continues to astonish his audience. At age 82, he presents his uncompromising and urgent new album, You Want It Darker. Described by early listeners as a 'masterpiece' and 'classic Cohen', "You Want It Darker", is the latest chapter in Leonard's significant contribution to contemporary music and thought.

2010 recipient of a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Award, Italian pianist Gabriele Carcarno has studied under Mitsuko Uchida, Richard Goode and Alfred Brendel. Brendel worked closely with Carcano on the preparation of this all Schumann program, which features the Humoreske and Davidsbuündleränze. A young pianist of extraordinary talent, Carcano's 2016 debut album on Oehms Classics was highly praised by BBC Music Magazine, Radio 3 Record Review and Fonoforum and received a Supersonic award from Pizzicato magazine.

Some composers – Enescu, Schumann and Szymanowski among them – have had a go at adding piano accompaniments to Paganini’s 24 Capricci for solo violin, but the Ukrainian Myroslav Skoryk (b. 1938) is the first composer to go the whole hog and orchestrate all 24 of them. His orchestrations have turned Paganini’s virtuosic violin-writing into a succession of symphonic fireworks, often injecting a touch of humour along the way. This recording is released to mark Myroslav Skoryk’s 80th birthday. It is the first of a series of collaborations planned between Toccata Classics and the Lviv International Symphony Orchestra in Lviv, western Ukraine.

Landmarks for Solo Violin: Franziska Pietsch's recent recording of the Prokofiev Violin Concertos with large-scale orchestra is followed seemingly by the opposite: works for solo violin. What appears, at first sight, to be a contrast is in fact a logical continuation of her extensive discography, even an enhancement: whilst in her previous releases, Pietsch demonstrated her expressive range and intensive approach both as a brilliant soloist and as an eloquent chamber musician, she now faces the greatest possible reduction, namely a solo recital. This limitation demands incredible presence, power and intensity, for which Franziska Pietsch is predestined. From isolation, she draws depth and grounding; "less" becomes "more"; soleness transforms into greatness.

Rhapsody" is the theme of fabulous duo debut album featuring clarinetist Kymia Kermani and pianist Alba Gentili-Tedeschi. With great intensity, the young musicians plunge into the music of the twentieth century – music that, in the improvisational tradition of singers and bards, searches formally for new ways as if born in the moment. The piano and clarinet sound equally free on this recording: the trills rejoice and the glissandi sob in works by Debussy, Gershwin, Borris, Boutry and others – four world premiere recordings are offered on this exceptional album. This is truly a stroke of luck, not only for curious chamber music fans, but for fans of all quality music!

Relaxed, transparent, breathing: these are the enchanted sounds of Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt that the pianist Nuron Mukumi presents on his first GENUIN album. Anyone who listens to them no longer feels the importance of the Uzbek pianist having won numerous competitions despite his mere twenty years, or that he was regarded a child prodigy and has already completed his studies as an instrumentalist and conductor. The listener is simply delighted, impressed, and inspired by Franz Liszt's thoughtful transcendence and the violence of Frédéric Chopin's Sonata in B minor. A veritable ascent!

The piano music of the Czech-born composer Antoine Reicha (1770–1836) – friend of Haydn and Beethoven, teacher of Berlioz, Liszt, Franck and many others – is one of the best-kept secrets in music. Reicha was an important influence on composers of the next generation but, apart from an innovative set of fugues, his piano works have remained almost unknown since his own day. Encompassing Baroque practices as well as looking forward to the twentieth century, they are full of harmonic and other surprises that show this liveliest of musical minds at work. Reicha’s twenty Études ou Exercices, recorded here for the first time, manage to combine his maverick inventiveness with a considerable degree of charm.

This third volume in the series from the electrifying combination of Jean-Efflam Bavouzet and Manchester Camerata under Gábor Takács-Nagy explores the final two of the six piano concertos of the year 1784, on which Mozart staked his reputation as both a performer and composer. Alongside these works features the pioneering Quintet for Piano and Winds, also from 1784, the first written for this combination of instruments and a work which Mozart regarded as his finest to date.

For its second album on Chandos, the young Ferio Saxophone Quartet presents a set of unique arrangements of milestones from the baroque repertoire, from Corelli via Bach to Handel.

Violinist Henryk Szeryng is accompanied by pianist Charles Reiner for this audiophile recording of compositional works by Bartok, Debussy, Novacek, Brahms, Marroquin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Leclair, Gluck, Vitali, and Locatelli.

“Musicians can’t really invent anything completely new,” says the 32-year old Austrian-born pianist David Helbock. “What we can do is to take ideas, and add something of ourselves. When things are working well, what emerges from that is something really exciting.” Helbock belongs to the generation of jazz musicians who are heading off in their own individual directions, pushing the boundaries, radically re-configuring our understanding of what old and new music is, re-aligning composition and improvisation, and challenging common pre-conceptions about style and personality.

The 20th album of the album. An album that reminded of the countries of Europe who visited in recent years. In 11 songs, 8 songs are European flavorful overflowing composition, classical sounding lyricism and romanticism are Yoshiko Kisumino, a unique world.
