Bach's trio sonatas, once written as teaching pieces for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann, show Johann Sebastian Bach at the zenith of his compositional art: three independent voices engage in a captivating dialogue, combining cantabile melodic lines with an artful yet natural-sounding counterpoint - all embedded in an experimental formal design and balanced proportions. Martin Neu makes this core repertoire his own with his lively and eloquent interpretation on the Ahrend organ in Herzogenaurach. The unusual directness and proximity to the pipework of the organ, combined with the excellent acoustic conditions, create a unique sound experience. For the first time, this is also available immersively in Dolby Atmos - a sonic innovation that allows the music to be experienced with unprecedented intensity.

The repertoire for string trio is comparatively small, but in addition to the relevant works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Reger, it also contains surprising, newly discovered, and newly composed pieces. In the selection of pieces for the current recording, the Trio Lirico has looked off the beaten track with works by Eugène Ysaye, Ernst von Dohnányi, and Zoltán Kodály. The program is completed by a string trio by Péter Eötvös, a haunting memorial composition with a variety of different playing techniques and gestures of sound and expression.

Gabriel Fauré, a master of song, piano, and chamber music, particularly appreciated the modulation-rich sound of the Érard grand piano. Its rich overtones and clear bass tones made it the ideal instrument for the French salon. This release presents not only Fauré's musical vision but also the sound world of the Érard grand piano, which played an important role in the musical scene at the time. Marc Coppey fully embraces the fluid rhetoric of Fauré's musical language. His interpretation deliberately eschews stylistically unfamiliar permanent espressivo and instead delves deep into the nuances and facets of Fauré's compositions. "Fauré authentique" thus presents not only musical brilliance but also an authentic journey through the French composer's complete works for cello and piano, embedded in the beautiful sound of the Érard grand piano.

A foretaste of the artistic mastery of Beethoven's late work: the "Diabelli Variations" are the last major piano work to embody the pinnacle of Beethoven's variation oeuvre and are considered one of the most extensive and important compositions of this art form. Parallel to the release of the first of a total of three CD boxes with Alfredo Perl's new complete recording of all of Beethoven's piano works, the "Diabelli Variations" are available exclusively on LP.

Following his critically acclaimed recording of Ludwig van Beethoven's complete piano sonatas and the Diabelli Variations from 1992-1996, pianist and conductor Alfredo Perl is now scaling this summit of classical-romantic piano music for the second time. His concept, developed through intensive artistic and pedagogical examination, now applies to the whole"Beethoven, i. e. all the surviving original compositions for solo piano, including the works for piano four hands. The recordings, which in the case of the piano sonatas are based on the edition by Jonathan Del Mar, will be released in three CD boxes and will also be available on all relevant platforms in Dolby Atmos as well as stereo downloads. The edition is structured according to the three creative phases 1791-1800, 1801-1814 and 1816-1825, corresponding to the periods in which the main works - sonatas, variations, bagatelles and outstanding individual pieces - were composed. The last box also brings together the youthful works from the Bonn period, the dances and other individual pieces as well as the works for four hands. This not only allows the development of the piano composer Beethoven to be traced directly, but also reveals the relationships that exist with his role models and successors Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann and Brahms. The sonatas are accompanied by twelve important variation works (WoO 64-66, 68-73, 75-77), which are still rarely heard in the concert hall, as well as the Allegretto in C minor WoO 53, the two Rondos op. 51 and the Capriccio "alla ingharese" op. 129, which became famous under the title "Die Wut uber den verlorenen Groschen". The opening box contains the first 13 sonatas (op. 2 no. 1-3; op. 7; op. 10 no. 1-3; op. 13; op. 14 no. 1-2, op. 22 as well as the short sonatas op. 49 no. 1-2) with which Beethoven revolutionized this genre after moving to Vienna.

BACH reconstructed - Neubrandenburg Concertos based on Bach's originals - On the trail of the wonder of Bach's music: resounding works of art such as the Brandenburg Concertos have awakened the ensemble's spirit of discovery. In order to better understand their inner architecture, their genius, ensemble member Christoph Harer has created baroque transcriptions from Bach's originals in exchange with solos and orchestra and combined them into three "Neubrandenburg Concertos". A harpsichord concerto thus becomes music for three competing string trios. Solo and chamber music are transformed into colorful concerto movements for different instrumentations. And a simple vanitas song is transformed into a dreamy string aria. In the process, la festa musicale reaches top form: solo parts are distributed across the whole orchestra, the concertos are carried by the virtuosity and imagination of many together. The creative play with the originals opens up new, unexpected perspectives on Bach's great music.

Schubert's eight "spontaneous inventions" from 1827 are character pieces that are among the best known and most popular works for piano. Full of rich lyricism, they are much more than trifles or whims, as the title suggests. Kemal Cem Yilmaz began studying the piano with Daniel Vodovoz in Langenhagen at the age of eight. Audiences were thrilled by his numerous public appearances as a child; already tat that time, his playing was mature and inspiring. He studied the piano with Heidi Kohler, Markus Groh, and Christopher Oakden in Hannover and with Alfredo Perl in Detmold. Concurrently with his musical studies and concertizing activities, Kemal Cem Yilmaz worked for twelve years as a taxi driver in Hannover.
