Chamber Music & Recitals

The music of Sergei Rachmaninov accompanied the young, up-and-coming Russian pianist Ekaterina Litvintseva throughout a childhood and youth spent in Magadan in Russia's far north, near the Arctic Circle. Reflecting that attachment, she has selected a...

The music of Samuel Adler - born in Mannheim in 1928 but long since one of the leading figures of American music - has it's roots in the Neo-Classical clarity of composers like Copland and Hindemith, who were among his teachers. The works on this album...

The music of Richard Cameron-Wolfe is not intrinsically abstract, instead residing in various realms of non-abstraction - each composition's seed-ideas emanating from an extra-musical impulse. Here we find, for example, psychodrama (three micro-operas),...

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 King's features some of the choir's contemporary favorites presented alongside psalms, folksongs and other exceptional works that have stood the test of time. A celebration of choral music through the ages, it traces choral styles across the...

The music of Johann Speth (1664-1719) has featured here and there on many compilations of instrumental music from mid-17th century Germany. However, until now there has never been a complete recording of the sole collection which carries his name down to...

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach has brought accordionist Viviane Chassot out of a serious personal crisis. Since she discovered how well the music of the Thomaskantor can be reproduced on the accordion, she has now created a Bach album - after Haydn...

The music of Jesper Koch (b. 1967) is in a constant and fruitful dialogue with the past. Often melodious with tonal connotations and with a dreamlike quality that seeks to escape from reality in the cello concerto Dreamscapes, feels at home in oases of...
