The debut Lava/Atlantic release from NYC-based Trans-Siberian Orchestra joins top talents from the hard rock world with those from the Broadway musical and classical arenas - combining a 60-piece orchestra and full chorus with the edge of a rock band. The conceptual symphonic rock work is by hard rock producer/songwriter Paul O'Neill, and the recording reinvents O'Neill's previously recorded Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24), which was released last year as a highlight of the conceptual Dead Winter Dead album by Savatage.

2017 release, an album of Bach works recorded by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and bassist Edgar Meyer. The album comprises works by J.S. Bach originally written for keyboard instruments, plus one sonata for viola da gamba. In 2011, Ma, Thile, and Meyer-along with Stuart Duncan-collaborated on The Goat Rodeo Sessions, which won two Grammy Awards. The New York Times said of Yo-Yo Ma, who is considered one of today's foremost interpreters of Bach, "Other cellists hear Bach's suites the same as Mr. Ma, but few if any have the technical means to transfer their imaginings so precisely into sound." Ma maintains a balance between his engagements as soloist with orchestras worldwide and his recital and chamber music activities. His discography includes more than one hundred albums, eighteen of which have won Grammy Awards. Ma also serves as the Artistic Director of Silkroad, an organization he founded to promote cross-cultural performance and collaborations. More than eighty works have been commissioned specifically for the Silk Road Ensemble, which tours annually. Ma also serves as the Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Negaunee Music Institute and in 2016 was appointed Artistic Advisor to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

2019 release. On Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw's album Orange, Attacca Quartet performs six of her pieces for string quartet. The string quartet form "has existed for hundreds of years, but there's something, for me, beautiful and ritualistic about coming back to that form," says Shaw. "It's something familiar, and yet you can keep on opening these doors and diving down these little rabbit holes... This album is a celebration of the simple, immediate, unadorned beauty of a natural, every day, familiar thing."

Daniel Barenboim - "Claude Debussy" One of the most important artists of our time, Daniel Barenboim releases a collection of beloved Debussy pieces in time for the French composer's centenary, including Estampes, Suite bergamasque and Preludes, L.117.

The complete collection of Irish trad, dance, folk & ballads, instrumental classics and party favorites on five CDs.
