ECM legend Arild Andersen, one of Norway's leading bassists for over 30 years, forges promising relationships with two rising stars - Daniel Sommer (drums) and Rob Luft (guitar) - in an expansive, playful exploration of song and collective improvisation.

Maria Chiara Argiro's album Closer departs from her prior work, fuelled by an indescribable, dreamlike feeling - the album's core duality of blurred lines and clarity reflects Argiro's philosophy - A philosophy encapsulated in the urgency of her production process and the unique lucidity with which she weaves ambient, dance, jazz, and experimental pop seamlessly together The album defies easy definition, emphasising an inner self-discovery process, detached from external influences, not only breaking sonic ground but signifying a deeply personal journey, anchoring Argiro to her creation.

The Piano Sonata in E minor D 566 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano written in June 1817. The original manuscript appeared to lack a finale. Ludwig Scheibler (1848-1921) was the first to suggest in 1905 that the Rondo in E, D.506 might be that movement. The British composer and musicologist Kathleen Dale produced the first edition using this suggestion in 1948. The 1976 Henle edition by Paul Badura-Skoda followed the same practice.

2024 release. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios with legendary songwriter and producer Nile Rodgers, alongside the band's original producer Ian Broudie. The multi-platinum selling band released three studio albums between 2004 and 2008, scoring 9 UK Top 40 singles including two Top 10s. The Big Decider comes into view as an album of stark significance to the band, completed by Dave McCabe (guitar, lead vocals), Abi Harding (saxophone, vocals) and Sean Payne (drums, vocals). Written against the backdrop of a decade and a half's worth of lived experience, it is born under the weight of family tragedies, lives lost and created, reality checks, and home truths faced up to and stared down. Wrestled into shape under the kind of steam that only decades-long friendships - with all their messy fall-outs, make-ups, breakdowns and ultimately love - can muster, The Big Decider became the sound of water passing under the bridge, and love for music, love for each other, and love for creating together becoming the most important thing of all.

He has also kept busy performing all across the globe and has released five albums as a leader to date. Well, there is now going to be a sixth album added to his expanding catalog. I’ll let Andreas “tell” you more about it:

For his opera Messiaen turned to Saint Francis, the saint sharing the most traits with the figure of Christ. He then chose for his last grand organ cycle the mystery of the Eucharist, in which all the mysteries connected with his faith in Christ are summed up. The improvisation that follows the work is in a sense an homage to "Messiaen as improviser", considering how crucial this aspect of his career as a composer/organist was. Loïc Mallié, a former student of Olivier Messiaen, performs here at the Master’s organ.

he began his musical career studying with his parents, luthier João Cruz and Janette Sanchez Cruz at the age of 8, having as his first instrument of study: the piano.

Combining the alpha and the omega of Richard Strauss's music, Trio Arnold,Nathanael Gouin and their partners from the budding French chamber music scene invite us on a journey as astonishing as it is sublime to the end of German Romanticism, from the radiant energy of the Piano and String Quartet to the twilight elegance of Metamorphosen.
