The young flutist Alissa Rossius Dausgaard presents her GENUIN debut album, featuring her own transcriptions of Johannes Brahms' violin sonatas for flute and piano. Alongside pianist Gerhard Vielhaber, she interprets these autumnal-romantic treasures with sensitivity and broad phrasing. The duo highlights the characters of the three sister works with great attention to detail - an exciting repertoire addition for musicians and audiences alike!

One of the leading brass ensembles of our time, Stockholm Chamber Brass, presents the first GENUIN album recorded with Dolby Atmos sound. In this unique production, the world-class musicians compile exclusively commissioned works from five renowned composers: Djuro Zivkovic, Cathy Milliken, Molly Kien, Francisco Coll, and Mike Svoboda. The quintet demonstrates how to transcend boundaries and create new soundscapes at the highest technical level-an imaginative and highly inspiring musical journey!

The Sonus Quintet is Germany's first reed quintet, consisting of clarinet, bass clarinet, saxophone, oboe, and bassoon. This unusual combination of woodwind instruments allows for imaginative and airy sounds beautifully showcased on the ensemble's GENUIN debut album. The program includes the quintet's own transcriptions and the original composition "Refraction" by David Biedenbinder from 2015. The album title "Light" is reflected in various ways in the works: Gershwin's "An American in Paris," Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," and Grieg's famous "Air" from the "Holberg Suite."

Even nearly 200 years after Beethoven's death, his music still has much to discover. Pianist Ulrich Roman Murtfeld presents a curated selection of Beethoven's piano works on his new GENUIN album, including both rarities and famous pieces. He juxtaposes the magnificent "Waldstein Sonata" with the early Sonata in E-flat Major, op. 7, and the furious "Rage Over a Lost Penny" with the variation works on a "Swiss Song" and "God Save the King." Murtfeld's refined and precise piano playing brings both new discoveries and great classics to light!

Nikita Volov's new GENUIN album, "Out of Place", features vibrant, complex, and often outcast characters from famous novels. Volov's innovative program includes an imaginative arrangement of Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt" Suite, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's pieces about the mad idealist "Don Quixote", and Robert Schumann's "Kreisleriana", a portrayal of the tragicomic conductor Kreisler from E.T.A. Hoffmann's books. These unique "out of place" individuals continue to inspire the world. With masterful interpretation and deep understanding, Volov brings these fascinating characters to life, showcasing their timeless relevance.

To celebrate his 80th birthday in 2023, GENUIN releases it's fourth album featuring compositions by the outstanding Christian Ridil. The Leipziger Symphonieorchester, under the direction of chief conductor Robbert van Steijn, has recorded Ridil's orchestral works, all world premiere recordings. FAZ once described this music as "rhythmically sophisticated, technically and formally perfect." These qualities are evident in the flute concerto "Les jardins de Pan," the First Symphony, and the bassoon concerto "Brahms en France" - contemporary music that leaves you wanting more!

Among the wealth of great music by female composers that has finally reclaimed the world's stages in recent years, the works of Cologne-born Maria Herz, who died in American exile, stand out as rare treasures. The internationally rising Canadian pianist Aude St-Pierre earns great acclaim with her new GENUIN album, which brings the piano music of this exceptional composer to light. Herz's development from her early Chopin variations and the "Landlers Op. 2" to her Sonata in F minor is breathtaking, hinting at an unrealized future silenced too soon. St-Pierre's piano playing illuminates the music of the Fin de Siecle era in all it's vivid colors!

Poetic music, musical poetry: The new Genuin album by internationally renowned pianist Cathy Krier from Luxembourg evokes the connections between sound and words, composers and language. Iconic repertoire pieces such as Maurice Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit" and Franz Liszt's transcriptions of Schubert songs enchant us, alongside excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev's musical-choreographic fairy tale "Cinderella" and works by two successful contemporary female composers: Konstantia Gourzi and Catherine Kontz.

A cappella music is on the program on the Ensemble Nobiles second Genuin CD, in a broad curve extending from the quiet beginning of the church year on the first Sunday of Advent and the jubilation of Christmas to the prophetic Feast of the Epiphany. The ensemble’s members all originally sang in the Choir of St. Thomas's and are currently winning prize after prize. The ensemble's flawless intonation is as convincing as its musical culture and choice of pieces. Here is an alternative for the Christmas season for those seeking fresh repertoire, both old and new, from the Renaissance to the present day.

As always, sonic.art plays at a staggering level, and their musical partners Christian Lindberg and Evelina Dobraceva add eve more passion to the performances.
