Jermaine Sprosse is a highly charismatic musician: spontaneous, stirring and full of energy. His mastership – equally on harpsichord, clavichord and early fortepiano – is rare as is his gift to combine solo literature with the most stunning art of improvisation, especially in the musical language of the middle and late 18th century. In addition to these features, he moderates his recitals in a charming and fascinating manner.

Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) and his son Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) are today the two best-known representatives of the Scarlatti family of musicians who were active throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Alessandro was one of the main exponents of the Neapolitan school and was particularly appreciated for his vocal music (operas, oratorios, cantatas, etc.) during his lifetime. Today, Domenico is most famous for his numerous compositions for keyboard instruments, which were mainly written in Spain. Here, their cantatas are effectively combined with Domenico's sonatas.

The early music ensemble “Die Freitagsakademie” is still committed to its namesake, Johann Gottlieb Janitsch, and makes music for his immensely rich oeuvre. The chamber music gems presented here (two of them as first recordings) bear impressive witness to Janitsch’s equally elegant and imaginative compositional art. They combine the melodic sweetness of the “galant” style popular around the middle of the 18th century with contrapuntal finesse and expressive harmony.

After having devoted many years to the instrumental ensemble music of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, the Swiss early music ensemble Les Passions de l'?me, together with its artistic director Meret L?thi, also turned to his opus magnum, the 15 Rosary Sonatas, in a marathon of three concerts. They then went into the studio and recorded all the sonatas for a double album in co-production with Bayern 4 Klassik, which is now published by PROSPERO in a splendid edition with many illustrations and informative texts on the work.

For many music lovers, the piccolo is the «little sister» of the flute. In the orchestra, it usually appears when an upper register needs to be added to the orchestral masses (as in the thunderstorm in Beethoven’s «Pastoral» Symphony), or when it is a matter of presenting very special timbres (in Tchaikovsky’s «Nutcracker», for example). However, many music lovers are unaware of the fact that the piccolo was (and is!) also seen by numerous composers as a solo and chamber music instrument, and has therefore been the subject of numerous interesting compositions. To change this, Haika Lübcke, solo flutist in the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, has recorded a varied programme that allows the piccolo to show off all its facets, nuances and expressive possibilities in a fascinating way. Works by Daniel Schnyder, Jan Novák, Bohuslav Martinů, and others.

The Swiss recorder player Isaac Makhdoomi enchants his audience with his great virtuosity and stylistic versatility. Together with the Baroque Orchestra Piccante, which consists of early music specialists from the Basel music scene, he takes us on a fiery virtuoso sound journey to the Venice of the "Prete rosso" Antonio Vivaldi. Like hardly any other composer of his time, Vivaldi helped the recorder and its variants to musical heights with his compositions. Stupendously virtuoso runs alternate here with beautiful cantilenas.

Germany's Daniel Behle is one of the most versatile figures on the contemporary vocal music scene. He performs concerts, sings in operas, and gives song recitals, covering repertory from the Baroque to contemporary times, and in addition to these he is a composer of note. Behle was born in Hamburg in 1973. His mother, Renate Behle, was a dramatic soprano; she gave Daniel his first singing lessons when he was 22, and he continued to study with her in the early 2000s.

Ivor Bolton has been principal conductor of the Basel Symphony Orchestra since the beginning of the 2016 / 17 season and has always had a special affinity with British music. The present album with rather unknown music by Benjamin Britten was therefore a very special concern for him from the beginning. The program consists of the early cycle Our Hunting Fathers (with the tenor Mark Padmore), the Quatre Chansons francaises (a stroke of genius by the only 14-year-old) and the suite from the unfortunately rarely performed opera Gloriana, which, by the way, was written for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

"Despite the classic avant-garde tonal language, Hefti is concerned with expressiveness, with an expression that appeals to the listener directly. He loves strong contrasts and does not scorn the occasional intensive cantilena. His music is capable of increasing concentration and can develop furious drive." (Southgerman newspaper)As a conductor and composer, David Philip Hefti has worked with numerous orchestras and ensembles, such as the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the ORF Radio-Symphony Orchestra Vienna and the Ensemble Modern. He was awarded the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation's Composer's Prize and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival's Hindemith Prize. In response to his CD Changements, he was praised by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung for his "excellent mastery of the orchestral apparatus" as a composer and conductor.

Während des ersten Lockdowns hat der Bratscher Mathis Rochat die Musik Rachmaninoffs für sich neu entdeckt. Er war von den Werken des russischen Spätromantikers so angetan, dass er sich dafür entschied, ein komplettes Programm mit eigenen Arrangements für Bratsche und Klavier zusammenzustellen. Ziel war es, den russisch beseelten Melodien durch die Instrumentenwahl ganz neue Farben zu verleihen.
