Nei cinque anni dalla scomparsa precoce di Ezio Bosso escono per Sony Classical i suoi ultimi inediti di musica da camera, registrati per la prima volta dopo accurata revisione delle partiture, nell’interpretazione magistrale di quattro grandi solisti in due diverse formazioni cameristiche: il pianista ed intellettuale salentino Francesco Libetta, ormai capofila dell’eredità artistica del grande torinese; il violoncellista e direttore d’orchestra Luigi Piovano, già collaboratore di Bosso come primo violoncello dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia; la violinista Grazia Raimondi e la giovane star del violino Aylen Pritchin, tra gli artisti più quotati sui migliori palchi internazionali. Entrambi i brani segnano momenti cruciali della vita di Bosso: la Sonata per violino e pianoforte N.1 Unconditioned è la versione originale da cui poi fu estratta la celeberrima Following a Bird. Il Trio per violino, violoncello e pianoforte N.2 Missed Steps composto nel 2013, racconta del suo reimparare a camminare ed è ispirato al cammino mistico dei Dervisci Rotanti. Con questo album si celebra dunque il primo quinquennale dalla morte di Bosso, completando il ciclo delle sue composizioni, mentre tutto l’anno sarà ricco di eventi a lui dedicati.

The Amaryllis Quartett often juxtaposes Germanic Classical and Romantic era string quartets with music of the Second Viennese School.

Salvatore Accardo, Audiophile Violin. This LP is about music, more precisely, the impressive work of the greatest living exponent of the Italian violin tradition, Salvatore Accardo. Produced and recorded by Giulio Cesare Ricci, who has put together a varied program from millennium shots by the old masters: The Beethoven Romance No. 2 with the Accardo-founded and led Orchestra da Camera Italiana starts off Side 1 with a convincing and moving performance. Pablo de Sarasate's "Carmen Fantasy" for Accardo is a home game, so to speak; only a few are likely to be as familiar with this virtuoso pinnacle of literature.

Littoral States is a shifting, reciprocal project that explores affinities beyond time, place, tradition and medium.

It is the year 1900: the new century has just started when two young composers independently from each other publish new additions to the string octet literature.

Time flies when you’re being Tunng. Can it really be over two decades since the band’s genre-blurring, self-styled ‘pagan folktronica’ first emerged from an east London studio courtesy of a clutch of Gilles Peterson-endorsed singles on the small but perfectly formed Static Caravan imprint?

What makes Ysaye’s solo sonatas so extraordinary is the richness of their harmonies, offering endless possibilities to explore a vast spectrum of contrasts in sound projection and violinistic effects each time you engage with them.

In 2020, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and the Kaunas State Choir, under the direction of Modestas Pitrėnas, came together at the National Philharmonic Hall in Vilnius for a remarkable recording of Amilcare Ponchielli's opera I Lituani. This project marks the first professional recording of this work, highlighting Ponchielli's significant contribution to 19th-century Italian opera and connecting deeply with Lithuanian heritage. Drawing inspiration from Adam Mickiewicz's poem Konrad Wallenrod, the opera tells the story of medieval Lithuania's resistance against the Teutonic Knights, exploring themes of freedom, national identity, and sacrifice. Ponchielli's rich orchestration and Ghislanzoni's powerful libretto create a dramatic musical experience that has now been captured with vibrant vocal performances and exquisite orchestration in this new recording. I Lituani, which premiered at La Scala in 1874, has long been recognized for its beautiful melodies and emotional depth. This recording revives a significant yet often overlooked masterpiece of Italian opera, offering a fresh perspective on Ponchielli's profound musical and dramatic vision.

The brand-new self-produced album from multi-award winning Canadian / International vocalist Holly Cole.

Mozart and his family spent 15 months in London when the composer was eight years old. In London he wrote his first symphonies and first vocal works, serving major notice to the world. Those have been recorded before and are included here, but what's novel is the inclusion of music by other composers whom Mozart would have heard in London. Many of the works here receive their premiere recordings, and The Mozartists and conductor Ian Page ably sketch the influences they likely had on Mozart. Some of the influences from J.C. Bach have been recognized before, but Page goes more deeply into them: you can hear Mozart's way of assigning expressive meaning to transitional passagework, uncanny already at age eight, in the music of the "London Bach.
