NADINE SIERRA & PRETTY YENDE IN CONCERT

Daniel Hope's latest album, Irish Roots, embodies his deep connection to Ireland, inherited from his paternal great-grandfather who left Waterford for South Africa in the 1890s. Although never residing in Ireland, Hope's fascination with it's culture led to the creation of the documentary, Celtic Dreams: Daniel Hope's Hidden Irish History. LP

SYMPHONY NO. 5 IN C SHARP MINOR (ORIGINAL SOURCE)

Rachmaninoff For Two [2 CD]

Elina Garanca - When Night Falls... / This intimate album, says Elina Garanca, is meant for "that time of day when you withdraw to your own private life". The celebrated mezzo has selected songs to help her listeners "tune out the world for two or three minutes and immerse themselves in the special magic of the evening hours". Joined here by an array of distinguished instrumentalists, Garanca performs traditional songs as well as vocal nocturnes by Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Humperdinck and several composers from Spain and her beloved Latvian homeland.

THE ORIGINAL SOURCE is a new series of celebrated albums reissued on vinyl. The renowned Berlin-based Emil Berliner Studios are remastering 4-track recordings from the 1970s, using their own cutting-edge and 100% pure analogue techniques (AAA) to create versions of the highest possible audio quality. More clarity, more details and a better frequency response, the highest possible audiophile quality which gives listeners the chance to enjoy this repertoire like never before. LP pressed on 180g virgin vinyl at Optimal Media.

Lang Lang presents with this album a treasure trove of musical discoveries. Saint-Sa�ns's Piano Concerto No. 2 was recorded with a stellar cast, the Gewandhausorchester and Andris Nelsons and is for Lang Lang a true romantic masterpiece that rivals the greats like Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky.

Over 35 years after his legendary first recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's famous Christmas Oratorio in 1987, Sir John Eliot Gardiner performed this piece live with his ensembles, English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir, at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields in London on two evenings in December 2022. Available as a 2 CD/Blu-ray disc set

ZIGMAN: EMIGRE

Limited 17 vinyl LP box set. In August 2024, a few weeks before Bruckner's bicentenary, DG released a limited and numbered vinyl reissue of their recordings of Bruckner's nine Symphonies in a 17-LP set. As befitting the cult status they have won, all-analog recordings (Symphonies 4-9) have the white glove treatment that has been very successfully launched with the Original Source Series, newly mastered and cut by the superb Rainer Maillard and Sidney C.

Chinese pianist Yuja Wang, who won the Grammy Award for the first time in 2024, held a recital in Vienna in 2022, opening an eclectic repertoire and demonstrating incredible His broad repertoire and performance techniques have been highly praised. / Yuja Wang believes that all tracks should have a life of their own and reflect my current feelings. She demonstrated her fiery virtuosity in little-known works by Ligueti and Kapustin; highlighted her mature musicianship in masterpieces by Beethoven and Scriabin; and composed in Spain Master Albanese's Iberian selections demonstrate timbral control and imagination. The four splendid encore pieces are American Grass, Mexican Aquiz, Romantic Era Brahms and early classical Gluck, which is like a small keyboard music history. - This set of seemingly random mash-up styles of music selections from different eras turns out to be highly cohesive after actual listening. The theme of one piece may express tension, which may awaken or hint at the music content that follows. Like an art curator with a rich knowledge background, displaying paintings by different artists in a museum requires careful consideration of the venue, size of the paintings, background of the paintings, style, etc. Yuja Wang is able to push the limits of dynamics without losing emotion and delicate interpretation. Miriam Damev, a well-known European art journalist, summed up this wonderful recital in just a few words in the Austrian Standard newspaper - "This concert hall is crazy."

Julius Asal - "Scriabin - Scarlatti" / Scriabin - Scarlatti creates a dreamlike meditation in which the boundaries between pieces, eras and states of mind fade away. Julius Asal's full performance of the Sonata is framed by a selection of Scriabin's etudes and preludes, six sonatas by Scarlatti and two improvisatory Transitions by the pianist himself.
