Schubert's influence, the spirit of fantasy, and pictures from fairy tales are the common themes in this fifth volume of the Schumann Collection. For this great journey across the Schumannian realm, which starts off with one of his early works, the expansive Quartet for Piano and Strings WoO 32, and concludes with the twilight miniatures of Marchenerzahlungen (Fairytale Narrations), brothers Pierre and Theo Fouchenneret are still at the head of a fine team of chamber musicians bringing together long-time collaborators and great talents of the young generation.

The title Kyma refers to the Greek word for ‘wave’, encapsulating the concept of continuous flow and movement, much like both sound and waves.

ACROSS THE HORIZON from Albany Records showcases Nicholas Goluses’ masterful guitar artistry through a journey of sounds from around the world. From Piazzolla’s Cinco Piezas — his only solo work for guitar — to Villa-Lobos’ evocative Five Preludes, the album spans several diverse musical landscapes. Bill Dobbins’ Fantasia blends jazz and classical idioms, while Houghton’s Stélé explores Greek mythology and landscapes. Stephen Goss’s A Concerto of Colours captures the vibrancy of the American Southwest, and Andrew York’s Home offers a poignant conclusion to a program highlighting the prowess of six visionary composers.

Every once in a while, an album will come your way that both delights and impresses the ear. Like shooting stars, these are not completely rare occurrences but it's the fortunate person who gets to enjoy the experience… This album makes a statement and says a lot.

Haydn's keyboard sonatas, more than sixty in total, span almost his entire career. However, in the 1780's the genre became much less of a preoccupation for him while he concentrated more on string quartets and piano trios. An increasing number of commissions further added to his workload. Then, in the period when he was preparing for the second of his two visits to London (1794-5), we find the sonata genre crowded out by his other commitments. Nevertheless, the sonatas Hoboken XVI: 48 to 52 (1789-94) are among the most richly satisfying compositions of Haydn's full maturity.

A new generation of jazz musicians appears to be taking over, and you couldn't ask for better news… Their interplay is impeccable, and their camaraderie is impeccable. A mountain of atmosphere awaited us—powerful, convincing, subtle…

Moroccan pianist Aïda Lahlou makes an exciting and noteworthy recording début with Mirrors and Echoes, released by Resonus Classics on 19 September 2025.

This notable album from Resonus Classics champions the rich, lyrical voice of Henriette Bosmans in a trio of concertante works and orchestral song. Cellist Gemma Rosefield brings deep emotional insight to both Poeme and the exquisite Second Concerto for cello, their expressive breadth deftly realised under George Vass's assured direction.

Disruption and displacement wasn't uncommon in 16th-and 17th-centuries Europe. During the Reformation, creative individuals, including composers, were often forced to conceal their identities - for reasons social, religious, ethnic, racial or otherwise. Yet despite - or perhaps due to - the disorder, musical styles and forms flourished, earning the era it's Renaissance designation and thus creating "Beauty in a Moment of Chaos".

International jazz trio of Philipp van Endert (gtr) Rob Hall (sax) Tobias Weindorf (e-pno) - original dynamic, contemporary music.

My vision for this album was to create something that mirrors a classic vocal jazz record—featuring beloved standards—infused with the energy of a young rhythm section that shares my passion for the music. The members of my band and I have been playing together since we moved to New York City a couple of years ago.

The result of a years-long search for a meaningful way to draw upon his trove of sideman experience across boundaries in the improvising world, Canopy is pianist Lex Korten’s own unprecedentedly original statement of purpose. In his debut, a five piece band unorthodox in its makeup of piano, voice, alto saxophone, guitar and drums brings to life a stirring volume of works composed by the bandleader, each of which evokes entirely unique worlds of color, texture and meaning.

Recorded live on February 19 & 20, 2010 at Smalls Jazz Club, Greenwich Village NYC.

The new album "If Not Now" by Clarinetist James Danderfer. Recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio. The music was composed over a focused few months and reflects a deeply personal snapshot of the artist's life–his family, his musical influences, and the players he was writing for. At the heart of the project is Danderfer's clarinet, guiding the narrative with warmth, lyricism, and clarity. Danderfer plays clarinet & bass clarinet. The first rate band features Steve Davis on trombone, Cory Weeds on tenor saxophone, Atley King on vibraphone, Miki Yamanaka o piano, Tyrone Allen on bass and Kush Abadey on drums.

Bass player and composer Noah Garabedian’s music wrestles with the tension and harmony between solitude and community — a push and pull at the core of his creative philosophy. “Community and socialization are essential ingredients to music, especially improvised music,” he says. “But as I have grown older, I have learned how to celebrate and cherish being alone; how to find comfort in being by yourself.”
