The third release in the Kristjan Järvi Sound Project, Parallel Tones takes two iconic works both united by New York. Richard Strauss's Sinfonia Domestica - debuted at Carnegie Hall and featuring four saxophones in what was the composer's idea of the 'American sound' - and Duke Ellington's A Tone Parallel to Harlem (Harlem Suite), a big band piece very much inspired by Strauss's tone poems. • These two 'parallel tones' - one going from Europe to America and one from America back in time to Europe – morph 19th c. European musical language with that of the American 20th c., crossing paths in New York. • The brief disc closer, Præludium for Jazz Band (1936-37), was Igor Stravinsky’s first on-the-spot creative response to American music. It was written after he followed Milhaud to the jazz clubs of Harlem and heard the music played by black musicians in Chicago and New Orleans.

This is the debut recording of 19-year-old Aaron Pilsan, who currently studies with Lars Vogt in Hanover and has already won several significant prizes. Aaron Pilsan was named Rising Star by the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO), which brought him recital engagements at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Barbican Centre in London and the Cité de la Musique in Paris, amongst other concert halls. His first recording features a difficult, lively and intense program of works by Beethoven and Schubert.

Naive Classique is proud to present Guillaume Vincent - a new rising star of the piano! In this first recording, Vincent dedicates his vibrant and precise performance to a famous and most demanding repertoire - Serge Rachmaninov's complete preludes.

This original and ambitious recording series, the Kristjan Järvi Sound Project, will present this charismatic conductor's many classical, world music and jazz collaborations while capturing the essence of this vibrant and original musical personality. Mr. Järvi is known for his innovative classical music programs and instinctive vision for cross-genre collaboration. The first album, Balkan Fever, features orchestral works by Enescu and Kodály with hypnotic sounds, melodies and beats from the Balkans.
