Antonin Dvorak, Josef Suk and Bohuslav Martinu are three big names in the world of classical music. From the romantic to the modern eras, these three generations of Czech composers left a grand legacy. The masterpieces from these Czech composers that are featured on this release are less known to larger audiences. The challenge in finding less-performed works is what inspired this release. From this endeavor grew this program which is full of Bohemian colors, and also features Haydn’s famous “Gypsy” trio. The emerging Belgian piano trio Impression is made up of sisters Fien and Riet Van den Fonteyne (violin and cello) and pianist Florestan Bataillie. These passionate musicians got to know each other at the international chamber music festival ‘Musica Mundi.’ The trio initially formed as part of their studies at the Royal Conservatories of Antwerp and Brussels, but quickly evolved into an appreciated ensemble outside of their school walls. They have performed at the Concergebouw of Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw Frits Phillips, and won all three prizes at the international Storioni Toonzaal Prijs in 2015.

After their successful debut CD Torres del Alma, with quartets from the Spanish Renaissance, the Bassano Quartet came up with the idea to create a second CD featuring new music and arrangements for the Eagle recorder and a unique performance of the "Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares" of John Dowland with guest musician Dani�l Br�ggen. With this recording, the group aims to explore the extremes of the recorder quartet sound!

In 1968, a spectacular LP was released with the apt title When the Swing Comes Marching In. Now, after many requests, we are proud to offer this unique new recording, full of fresh swinging arrangements complemented by successes from the olden days. The Marine Band navigates with playful ease as the all-around musical ambassador of the Royal Netherlands Navy, while the Dutch Swing College Band is the country's best-known jazz orchestra, winner of the Edison Prize (among many others).
