Трудно найти более романтичного итальянца и дамского угодника, чем Фаусто Папетти. Музыкальные критики, рассуждая о творениях Фаусто Папетти, говорят, что "его аранжировки просты и не перегружены. Его акценты точны и всегда подчеркивают мелодию. Фаусто Папетти никогда не сделает ничего такого, что пошатнуло бы мелодическую основу композиции". Особенностью его сборников стали сексуальные обложки c изображением девушек.

Vladimir Ashkenazy has been a lifelong champion of the music of his compatriot Scriabin. For the composer’s anniversary year he has recorded a selection of works which span the entire output of Scriabin’s works for solo piano: an extraordinary musical journey from late-romanticism to the mystic modernism of his last works. A prelude by Scriabin’s youngest son Yulian – a promising composer and pianist who died tragically young aged eleven – completes this new recording.

The Apollon Musagète Quartet (Poland) catches the tensions running beneath the work's surface, and in general these are fresh, energetic readings, beautifully recorded.

Susie Napper and Margaret Little have been thrilling audiences with their performances of exotic masterpieces of the 17th and 18th centuries for the past twenty years. Les Voix Humaines are renowned for their spectacular arrangements of a wide variety of music for two viols and their brilliant performances of contemporary music commissioned by the duo.

Igor Markevitch's Tchaikovsky performances have been among the best since the early '60s. He turned the unruly London Symphony Orchestra into a first-rate Tchaikovsky ensemble, in which a finely disciplined approach to rhythm provides the perfect foundation for some highly expressive music-making. The neglected Third Symphony is particularly cogent and exciting in Markevitch's hands.

The Czech-born composer Anton Reicha (1770–1836) was an exact contemporary of Beethoven – and his close friend from their mid-teens. The music of each man shows an awareness of what the other was doing: they showed each other their compositions-in-progress. But although Reicha was closely associated with one of the best-known names in western culture, his own music has been grievously neglected: only his woodwind quintets have achieved any currency. Of his vast cycle of almost forty string quartets just one has been recorded before – an omission this ambitious project intends to put right, thereby revealing one of the most inventive and engaging spirits in classical music.

Итальянец, чей голос способен смешать мелодраму с песенкой из Сан-Ремо, нравится всем. В Германии, стране, которая открыла его в 1996-ом году, он постоянно присутствует в хит-парадах. В США он предмет культа: в нем есть нечто человеческое или слишком человеческое, что примиряет домохозяйку с системой “звезд”, от Стивена Спилберга и Кевина Костнера до жены вице-президента. Президент Билл Клинтон, “Билл-саксофон”, который знает наизусть музыку к фильму “Канзас-сити”, декларирует себя в числе поклонников Бочелли

Второй альбом композитора Max Richter. В нем прослеживается нить произведений Franz Kafka "The Blue Octavo Notebooks" и Czesław Miłosz "Hymn of the Pearl" и "Unattainable Earth", озвученные голосом актрисы Tilda Swinton. Журнал "Pitchfork" описал альбом как "лучшие записи последних шести месяцев и самое влиятельное событие в современной неоклассике". Композиции "Shadow Journal" и"Organum" были использованы в фильме "Waltz With Bashir."

Originally conceived as a Royal Ballet-commissioned collaboration between composer Max Richter, choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian Opie, Max Richter’s gorgeous score to ‘infra’ is deservedly given life of its own in this album-length release from FatCat’s instrumental/orchestral imprint 130701 Records. The recording of ‘infra’ took place in one day at London’s AIR Studios – recorded onto 2” tape, engineered by Nick Wollage and overseen by Max - before a return to the mixing studio (Max’s StudioKino and Trixx in Berlin) for Max’s typically intricate and lengthy process of crafting completed pieces from the recordings.

German-born British composer and pianist, Richter is a musician used to challenges. The most recent of which was to recompose Antonio Vivaldi's hugely popular "Four Seasons", in collaboration with German label Deutsche Grammophon: A very personal retreatment that allows the listener to recognize the original piece but at the same time, enjoy it in a completely new and surprising light, transporting you to an unknown sonic territory. On this occasion Richter will be accompanied by instrumental group bcn216 (resident of L'Auditori de Barcelona) to bring at Teatre CCCB his subtle and individual re-adaptation of Vivaldi’s creation ‘live’. He has reconfigured the body of work by removing a number of notes, reorganizing certain passages and adding seductive electronic arrangements.
