Chamber Music & Recitals

The music of the American composer David Felder (*1953) is often related to esoteric, mystical, spiritual or philosophical themes. These are particularly evident in his more recent works. The Arditti Quartet enjoys a world-wide reputation for their...

The music of Th?odore Dubois (1837-1924) has rather been overshadowed by that of other French composers of the same period, not least Faur? and Saint-Sa?ns. But Dubois does not deserve his relative neglect: not only was he a superlative craftsman, but he...

The music of Szymanowski is lively, thrilling, robust, and exciting. It is also immensely difficult to play, and few artists can cope with it's technical demands of bravura and virtuosity. One who can, with consummate skill and musicianship, is Sinae...

The music of Steven M. Miller (1965-2014) is distinguished by it's highly creative use of electronic technologies towards the exploration of novel aspects of sound as sensorial and perceptual phenomena, achieving this through analog and digital...

The music of Ravel begins and ends this recital by Chun Wang, winner of the 59th Jaen International Piano Competition in 2017. The virtuoso magic of Jeux d'eau is balanced by the dazzling beauty and wit of the Concerto in G major. Two vividly contrasting...

The music of Nicolas Tzortzis, Athens-born (in 1978) and now a resident of Paris, often involves other art-forms, not least video and elements of theatre. Two of the works on this album, part of a trilogy inspired by surrealist films by Man Ray, are...

The music of my father's Cuban homeland has been the language of my heart for as long as I can remember. These songs infuse that rich tradition with the unique sabor of my own experience as a Cuban-American in a distinctly liturgical shape that I hope...

The music of Michael Jarrell has been said to "examine states of dream and unreality, searching for a moment of truth" - a truth which is often found in the lowest sonorities and slowest tempi, a place where time stands still. His works are often...
