London Symphony Orchestra Leader Roman Simovic steps back into the solo spotlight with a new recording of one of the cornerstones of the violin repertoire: Ysa�e's Six Sonatas for Solo Violin. Written in 1923, Eug�ne Ysa�e's set of sonatas represent a musical snapshot of that moment in the evolution of violin playing. An acclaimed violinist himself, each of the sonatas was written for one of Ysa�e's contemporaries: Joseph Szigeti, Jacques Thibaud, George Enescu, Fritz Kreisler, Mathieu Crickboom and Manuel Quiroga. What results is a creative love letter to the violin, challenging and embracing the technical and lyrical possibilities of the instrument throughout the six stylistically unique sonatas. This new recording of the Sonatas joins a collection of acclaimed recordings with Roman Simovic on LSO Live. Renowned for his brilliant virtuosity and musicality, he has performed as a soloist with many of the most distinguished orchestras and conductors around the world and has been serving as Leader of the LSO since 2010.
Ernest Ansermet conducts L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande for this 1954 recording of Borodin's Second & Third Symphonies. Symphony No. 2 in B minor by Alexander Borodin was composed intermittently between 1869 and 1876. It consists of four movements and is considered the most important large-scale work completed by the composer himself. It has many melodic resemblances to both Prince Igor and Mlada, two theatre works that diverted Borodin's attention on and off during the six years of composition. Numbered, Limited Edition 180g 45rpm 2 LP! Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Pressed at RTI! Deluxe Laminated Gatefold Jackets! Only 2500 Numbered, Limited Edition Copies Worldwide!

Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Paul Motian - "At The Deer Head Inn: The Complete Recordings". "The music has the dash and the unabashed lyricism of Keith Jarrett's best work," wrote Stereophile in a rave review of the first selection from the intimate Deer Head Inn live recording, capturing Jarrett's spontaneous, and in retrospect historic, return to the Pennsylvanian venue of his early years, alongside Gary Peacock (bass) and Paul Motian (drums). The second release, titled The Old Country and released 30 years after the first volume in 2024, was met with equal acclaim - The Guardian's John Fordham called it, "song-based jazz-imagining at it's best." Keith Jarrett: "I think you can hear on this tape what jazz is all about." Here, both albums are combined and released on vinyl for the very first time. The Complete Recordings are spread across 4 LPs in two tip-on gatefold jackets and framed by a deluxe slipcase. There won't be a second print-run of this boxset, limiting it strictly to this edition.
