Arvo P�rt's music takes us from darkness to light, says Renaud Capu�on. "It looks relatively simple on paper, but each note needs to have it's own life as it undergoes change. This music is not just relaxing - it has a depth and drama." In Autumn 2021 Renaud Capu�on becomes Artistic Director of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne. His first recording with the ensemble is devoted to the Estonian composer Arvo P�rt and among the eight works on the album are Spiegel i'm Spiegel, Tabula Rasa and Silouan's Song.

The first joint album from countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and guitarist Thibaut Garcia, � sa guitare takes it's name from a song by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. But it's frame of reference is extraordinarily wide - both culturally and stylistically. It's 22 tracks range across 400 years and music by composers and songwriters from France, Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and the USA. "The album is a journey between different cultures, different continents and different languages," says Philippe Jaroussky, "but each piece is a world in itself. The idea was to take some risks... sometimes moving to a completely different world between one track and the next." "We can evoke hugely different colours as we juggle between renaissance music and a song by Barbara," explains Thibaut Garcia. "It's our job to play with a palette of colours to produces something unique... We put a great deal of thought into the album, but we also put our hearts into it."

The members of Les Vents Francais, which has been described as "the wind-quintet equivalent of a supergroup" join the Munich Chamber Orchestra and conductor Daniel Giglberger in five examples of the sinfonia concertante. The form flourished in the decades around 1800, particularly in Paris and Mannheim, and the works here are by Parisian luminaries Pleyel and Devienne, Mannheim resident Danzi, and a genius who visited Paris and took inspiration from the music of Mannheim: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Szymanowski is among the most exciting of twentieth century composers... a highly individual style which owes nothing to anyone... Try the first few bars of this recording; I should be surprised if you wanted to (stop) before the end... his early sonata, has many signs of that strange genius... It's melodies, like it's structural features, allow a highly personal rather than nationalistic flavour, in this very well recorded performance... "Oistrakh's superbly poised and eloquent performance of the Hindemith Concerto... when a great artist does take up a modern work, what a difference it makes!... this is a really outstanding violin concerto - one of the finest of our time; and exquisitely beautiful at times."

An album with a mission to defy classification, BariTenor is a tour de force for Michael Spyres. It ranges wide, encompassing repertoire normally assigned to both tenors and baritones. Programming 18 arias by 15 composers, it covers three centuries of opera in Italian, French and German, setting mainstream works beside relative rarities, and rediscovering Etienne Mehul's Ariodant, first heard in 1799. Michael Spyres has achieved renown as a multi-faceted tenor, but 'baritenor' is the term he uses to describe his voice, which balances brilliant high notes with a robust lower register. "Having started off as a baritone, I spent 10 years turning myself into a tenor. Voices like mine have existed as long as opera has existed, and the entire programme of this album is linked by the baritenor technique. I am making an honest attempt to explore the baritenor as a forgotten vocal phenomenon... For me, this album is more than a dream come true." Joining Spyres are the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg under it's Chief Conductor Marko Letonja, and the male singers of the chorus of the Opera du Rhin.

Max Richter's groundbreaking soundtrack score for Waltz With Bashir (2008) is as provocative and powerfully intense as the searing images of a film that confronted audiences with lasting lessons in recent history and the psychology of trauma. His music moved millions worldwide, earned him the European Film Award (2008) for Best Composer and contributed significantly to his stellar rise on the contemporary scene as well as gaining world-wide exposure and acclaim.

If you see one opera this year, make it The Exterminating Angel, ran the headline in the New York Times after the US premiere of Thomas Ades' "stunningly inventive" opera based on Luis Bunuel's surreal and satirical 1962 film El angel exterminador. Like the British composer's score, Tom Cairns' production is both spectacular and surprising. "Ades keeps the listener on edge," wrote Opera magazine, "because one never knows where his dazzling palette of possibilities will take him next."
