BORDEAUX CONCERT

Bordeaux Concert is a special document from Keith Jarrett’s last European tour. Each of Jarrett’s 2016 solo piano concerts had its own strikingly distinct character, and in Bordeaux the lyrical impulse is to the fore. In the course of this improvised suite, many quiet discoveries are made, and there is a touching freshness to the music as a whole, a feeling of intimate communication

SCHUBERT - SYMPHONIES 8 AND 9

The Catalan maestro delivers a recording freed from the weight of past traditions to underline the dynamics, the section balance and the timbres that are required in this repertoire.

Wollny‘s new album "Ghosts" is a gathering of some of the ghosts that regularly haunt him. Typically for Wollny, they range from classics like Franz Schubert's "Erlkönig" to jazz standards, film music, songs with a certain fragility by Nick Cave, say, or the band Timber Timbre, and also include his own darkly evocative original compositions.

Peter Breiner is one of the world’s most recorded musicians with over 200 releases and more than two million albums sold, of which his Beatles Go Baroque (8.555010) alone reached sales of a quarter of a million copies.

SEEKING THE PERSONAL SONG

Violinist Pia Siirala studies the disappearing tradition of the Personal Song. The traditional singers, Koryak Elder Mulingaut and Chukchi Elder Vukvunga, whom Pia met on her field trips, both gave her a Personal Song as a gift. Based on these songs, Pia seeks to find and create her own song. Inspired by the raw singing of the tundra peoples, she attends to the feelings it creates within her and gives them a musical shape with her violin.

PARALLEL MOTION

Parallel Motion — the new album from jazz fusion legends Yellowjackets — is a true testament to the longevity and resilience of a band who debuted over 40 years ago.
