For baritone Alexandre Beuchat and pianist Marija Bokor, life with music is an exciting and never-ending journey; a journey through a wide variety of works and eras, a journey to faraway places and a journey to themselves. For the album "Songs of Travel", they have embarked on a journey that is as arduous as it is rewarding, with songs by Vaughan Williams, Schubert, Bloch and Mahler.

Romanian pianist Carmen Stefanescu plays her best loved classical piano music

Posterity likes to play with labels that are supposed to characterize lesser-known composers: "The Catholic Bach" (Zelenka), "The Spanish Mozart" (Arriaga) - and "The English Rachmaninoff" with which the English pianist and composer York Bowen (1884-1961) was labeled. Nuron Mukumi presents his 24 Preludes op.102 here on PROSPERO. Indeed, one is immediately fascinated by this music, which is anything but a Rachmaninoff copy, but rather cultivates a style all of it's own. And one wonders: how could this music be so easily forgotten?

The TriOlogie String Trio presents an extremely interesting compilation of music for string trio on it's debut album "A Tres Voces".

He is already being compared to Daniil Trifonov: The young Siberian pianist Sergey Tanin (*1995) is one of the up-and-coming and most promising pianists of his generation. Now he presents his debut album on PROSPERO. With works by Brahms, Schubert/Liszt and Prokofieff, he can impressively demonstrate both a mature interpretational depth as well as musicality and virtuosity. Born in 1995 in Siberia/Yakutia, Sergey Tanin started to play the piano at the age of 5. At 11, he already performed with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra in the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. After his graduation in 2019 from Moscow Conservatory (class of prof.

He is holder of the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship and in 2020, the Swiss Television (SRF) released a documentary about Sergey - "The Pianist Who Came In From the Cold".
