Vladimir Horowitz brings on this LP together some of the most powerful and poetic piano works from the Romantic era, all performed in New York City during the spring of 1962. Side A dives into "Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2". Horowitz brings out all the drama, beauty, and intensity you'd expect-and more. Side B brings you two of Rachmaninov's "Etudes-Tableaux" and Schumann's delicate and dreamy "Arabesque" and Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19", played with flair and fire. It's a perfect snapshot of Horowitz in his prime.
The slyly absorbing new volume from Michigan-based musician Erik Hall understands the contemplative joy in repetition. Solo Three is the culmination of what Hall describes as a loose trilogy, following his radical reinterpretation of Steve Reich's minimalist masterpiece Music for 18 Musicians, and his subsequent rendition of Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato, a winding work of Dutch minimalism. This time, Hall boldly reimagines works by four distinct contemporary classical composers: Glenn Branca, Charlemagne Palestine, Laurie Spiegel, and, again, Steve Reich. It is a particular grouping that exists through Hall's singular lens for magnetic repetition and harmonic resonance. The resulting program unravels subtly but masterfully, each piece a kind of contrapuntal bliss a touch livelier than the last, all building to the Reich-ian reprise-an apt bookend to the series. Altogether, Hall has crafted a richly varied homage to four pillars of American minimalism, an elegant mix of accessibility and discovery. As ever, he performed and multitrack-recorded all the parts himself without loops, programming, or sequenced instruments, his solitary method still arguably novel to the classical canon. Meanwhile, within the context of modern production, this analog approach works as a gentle rebellion against a culture of faceless automation, instilling these recordings with a flesh-and-blood human touch. "It's just so much more interesting to actually play every note," Hall says. "You then get them directly juxtaposed, and as they repeat, all of those micro-differences between them create a sort of living, breathing magic." That living, breathing magic imbues every crevice of Solo Three, making it not just a stirring tribute to four giants of 20th-century minimalism, but a reflection of how their influence continues to reverberate today.
Pneuma is a cycle of eight compositions by double bassist and composer Henry Fraser, released by Kou Records, exploring breath, resonance, and the evolving relationship between form and improvisation. Approaching his solo practice as a collaboration with the instrument itself, Fraser works directly with the bass's materiality and acoustic properties, allowing sound, space, and structure to emerge together through deep listening. Recorded, mixed, and co-produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Thurston Moore) and Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Marc Ribot), the album expands Fraser's previous solo language through an extended melodic register, layered textures, and carefully sculpted studio interventions. Drawing from both pre-composed motifs and newly improvised material, Pneuma unfolds across a series of concise movements, each giving shape to a distinct rhythmic or harmonic idea while contributing to a larger continuous form. Captured with an emphasis on natural dynamics and spatial detail, the recording preserves the full physical presence of the instrument, foregrounding the bass's resonance, overtones, and quiet micro-gestures. Certain pieces are built from multiple stacked performances, dramatically widening the music's scale and expressive range. The result is an intimate yet immersive listening experience - acoustic music that feels simultaneously tactile and expansive. Pneuma documents Fraser at a moment of artistic clarity, reaffirming his commitment to process-driven composition and attentive sonic practice.

If music... showcases star countertenor Jakub Jozef Orlinski in 17 songs and arias by three composers of the Baroque era: Purcell, Handel and Fux. Perhaps unexpectedly, he is partnered not by an ensemble of period instruments but by a pianist - his long-standing colleague Michal Biel. "On this album we have combined arias and songs that inspire and speak to us, " says Jakub Jozef Orlinski. "I love thinking of albums as pages out of my diary. They are a statement of where I am as an artist." As Michal Biel, who draws on all the possibilities of a Steinway grand piano, freely admits: "If music... is not an answer to the question of how to perform these masterpieces with historical authenticity." He sees each aria or song as "a carefully considered transcription that reveals it's appeal transcending instrumentation".

Blarf is comedian and actor Eric Andre's musical project. Most people know Eric as an actor (in Bad Trip, Happy Gilmore 2, and "The Righteous Gemstones"), and for his surreal, boundary-pushing comedy career, with an eponymous Emmy Award-winning show on Adult Swim and standup shows toured around the world. But few know Eric Andre as a bona fide musician who attended the prestigious Berklee School of Music, where he specialized in standing bass. In 2019, Eric launched Blarf with the experimental plunderphonics album Cease & Desist, released in partnership with Stones Throw Records. In it's review of Cease & Desist, Pitchfork said: "The frenetic, sample-heavy album from Eric Andre's clown alter-ego is hard to take seriously, which is probably the point." Now, Blarf brings his disruptive energy to a new body of work that is both an extended comedic bit and entirely, unironically serious: Film Scores For Films That Don't Exist. Inspired by composers like Ennio Morricone and Vangelis, whose signature sound is as iconic as the films they soundtracked, Eric enlisted a full orchestra to bring his compositions to life, recording in Los Angeles and Budapest. Blarf brings together multiple facets of Eric's career to date: public figure, serious musician, actor and comedian, and outsider artist. Landing somewhere between the symphony and the moshpit, Film Scores for Films that Don't Exist is a project only Blarf could make. Film Scores... was executive and record produced by Prateek Rajagopal, a composer for film and TV whose credits include The Mandalorian. Director Lance Bangs, known for his work on Jackass and Portlandia, documented the entire recording process.

Mauricio Kagel's Acustica (1968-70), composed for experimental sound producers and loudspeakers, stands among his most ambitious and radical works. Combining electro-acoustic tape material created at WDR with acoustic performances on roughly 200 graphic-score cards, it embodies Kagel's idea of instrumentales theater - where sound, gesture, and performer presence merge into a single dramatic and musical act. The work explores an expanded field of musicality, using invented instruments and found objects to free sound from traditional performance conventions. Avantgarde Vinyl Series features limited and numbered editions pressed on 180g vinyl with original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector's sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey. Mastered and cut from the original analog 1/4-inch, 2-track tapes by Rainer Maillard and Sidney Claire Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios.

Klaus Tennstedt's studio recordings for EMI Classics, primarily with his cherished London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), are celebrated as a towering achievement, cementing his reputation as one of the great conductors of the late 20th century. His landmark studio cycle of Mahler's Symphonies is the monumental centerpiece of this legacy, alongside the live Mahler recordings he did. Tennstedt's Mahler is universally praised for it's sheer emotional commitment and deep feeling. This cycle, often cited for it's thrilling climaxes and masterful shaping of Mahler's vast canvases, is universally recognized as one of the finest surveys of the composer's symphonies. Tennstedt's interpretations of the Central European repertoire, which also included magnificent recordings of Brahms and Wagner included in this box, favour an unfailingly beautiful orchestral tone and a massive solidity. These recordings are a lasting testament to Tennstedt's profound artistry and his extraordinary musical partnership with the LPO (which represent two-thirds of the recordings in this box).

If you could actually hear an abstract expressionist painting, it would probably sound a lot like the work of Morton Feldman. And that's no accident: Feldman hung out in '50s and '60s New York with Jackson Pollock, Philip Guston (whose work graced the cover of Feldman's first album), and Robert Rauschenberg. Like the paintings of his visual artist peers, Feldman's work emphasized tonal color over structure, rhythm, or melody, the traditional building blocks of music. It also employed the musical equivalent of painterly "negative space" with it's use of silence and stasis; that Feldman and John Cale were enormous influences on each other will come as no surprise. So, it makes sense that Feldman would dedicate probably his two most celebrated compositions to two giants of the New York scene: abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, whose famous Chapel adorns this LP's front cover, and writer and critic Frank O'Hara, whose own work drew inspiration from the same sources as Feldman's. Rothko Chapel and For Frank O'Hara first were released in 1976 on a seminal album from the Odyssey imprint on Columbia Records; for it's 50th anniversary and first LP reissue, we've had it pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Gotta Groove Records for the quietest listen achievable, using new transfers from the original master tapes. Profound, career-defining work that opened the door for latter-day ambient composers like Brian Eno to walk through.

'There's something about sitting there-just me, the keys, and the silence. No beats, no drops. Only raw emotion. ' Amid the euphoric rush of electronic dance music, Armin Van Buuren found space in the quiet to write his most honest music yet. As someone who knows better than anyone what moves a crowd, he set out to discover what moved him. And often, that instrument is the piano. Containing 15 intimate piano songs, this album shows a different side to the world-famous DJ and producer: more personal, more emotional. First recorded on his Steinway, then arranged into proper scores alongside piano teacher Geronimo, this body of work is saturated with the vulnerability of stepping beyond his comfort zone: swapping the grandiosity of the mainstage for rich piano tones lingering in silence. It's pure, reflective, and as much as the beat-driven music he's released over his storied career-100% Armin Van Buuren. Piano is available on a 2LP set, complete with 16-page booklet including pictures and liner notes by Armin. LISTEN: https://www.

Nocturnes Remodelled is a striking 2025 release from acclaimed Scottish composer Craig Armstrong, offering a fresh perspective on his 2021 album Music for 2 Pianos. This collection features twelve reimagined pieces, each transformed by a global roster of collaborators across electronic, ambient, and post-classical genres. Artists such as Alva Noto, Mogwai, Robert Ames, aus, and Scott Fraser bring distinct sonic identities to Armstrong's minimalist compositions, creating immersive soundscapes that blur the lines between acoustic intimacy and digital abstraction. The album also includes remixes by Armstrong himself and his son Jack Armstrong, adding a personal layer to the project. From Berlin to Tokyo, Glasgow to London, the remodelling process reflects a cross-cultural dialogue rooted in texture, emotion, and spatial depth. The result is a contemplative yet forward-thinking body of work, ideal for fans of Max Richter, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and ambient experimentalism. Mastered for clarity and dynamic range, both the CD and vinyl editions offer a pristine listening experience tailored to each format. Whether for collectors of modern classical or curators of ambient playlists, Nocturnes Remodelled is a refined and resonant addition to Armstrong's celebrated discography.
