Chamber Music & Recitals

We wonder whom we should admire the most: the composer Ludwig van Beethoven, who at the age of fifteen wrote such consummate, sparkling, and profound music, or the Hanover Piano Trio, which with violist Konstantin Sellheim has so immaculately recorded...

We wanted to play around and improvise, says Thom Hell, "capture spontaneity and whims, share them via Dropbox to see what inputs and reactions came back from the other two." Together with Vidar Ersfjord and J?rn Raknes, the three of them collectively...

We now once again can continue our comprehensive and successful R?ntgen Edition with a new production containing two albums dedicated to his last symphonies. The Brandenburg State Orchestra of Frankfurt is one of eastern Germany's leading orchestras. The...

We love Paul Salerni. Ever since our first collaboration in 2016, when we first played Bad Pets", we knew we had found something special. This was confirmed soon after when he wrote us four cycles in about two months. All this repertoire inspired us to...

We live in a time of investigation. We take samples, send them to a laboratory, and get results. We draw up tests and categorize things. Composers are present among us through their works. As long as we play their pieces, they exist. We can take a sample...

We do not know much about Nicolo Sanguinazzo, but it has been assumed he was active between 1690 and 1720, and that he was close to Antonio Caldara. On his autographed manuscripts he refers to himself as Olocin Ozzaniugnas, that is his name spelled back...

We continue our astonishing Bruckner cycle with the rarely performed 2nd Symphony. As in the case in the 1st, Venzago has chosen a top orchestra of relatively small instrumental dimensions. 'After the many new recordings of the Bruckner symphonies,...

We are now in the year 2022: as chance would have it, this album's release coincides with the 300th anniversary of the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Our lifestyle has changed in many ways over the past three centuries. We travel at much...

We are indeed fortunate that Fritz Kreisler was still at the peak of his powers when electrical recording arrived in 1925. He was as busy as ever in the year covered by these recordings, using Vuillaume and Guarneri del Gesu violins that he said 'breathe...
