While his first opus was conceived as a journey, open to nature and the world, this second album is more personal and questions our identity in society. In a world saturated with images, both in the media and on social networks, how do we find our place, gain perspective, and rediscover ourselves? Thirteen tracks conceived as an intimate journey. At the forefront, the melody. Intoxicating, haunting, and incredibly effective!... melodies you can whistle in the street, like you would a Beatles song. Alban Claudin's strength: giving each track the power of a pop hit. In just a few piano notes, he manages to convey more than any written and sung lyrics. \"Room of Reflection\" tells us about the life of a young man in his thirties: his joys, his doubts, his relationship with the world. An album rooted in its time, imbued with gentleness and reverie. Alban is a pianist of his time. An uninhibited young man, a poet capable of navigating between several worlds. A talented musician, an inspired composer capable of sending shivers down your spine with just a few notes. His music touches the purest emotions and speaks to everyone, of all ages.

While he's already captivating audiences worldwide with just a guitar in hand, MARCIN takes his signature style and solo arranger talent to new heights on his eagerly anticipated debut album: Dragon in Harmony. The album, set for release on Friday, September 13th via Sony Music Masterworks, features original compositions alongside a vast repertoire of covers (Justin Timberlake, Sade, Nirvana, Miles Davis\/Bill Evans, Debussy, Mozart) arranged by the guitar prodigy and co-produced with Dan Book (blink-182, Shania Twain, Britney Spears). Joined by the band Portugal. The Man and singer-songwriter Delaney Bailey, as well as guitarists Tim Henson and Ichika Nito, the Polish-born phenomenon has put together 14 genre-spanning tracks that seamlessly blend into a powerful artistic statement. “I was born in 2000, the Year of the Dragon, and I'm releasing my debut album in 2024, another Year of the Dragon, so the idea felt very natural,” Marcin explains about his debut album. “And then there's this idea of harmony, which is the opposite of all of that. In recent years, I've done a lot of different things, but I haven't necessarily merged them into one whole – everything was fragmented. But now, I'm finally making an artistic statement that is coherent rather than fractured. The dragon is in harmony.” Starting the album with a set of cleverly named original compositions \"Guitar Is Dead\" and \"I Killed It\", Marcin makes a bold and assertive statement about the state of the guitar and his personal journey as an artist, brilliantly blending melody, harmony, and hand percussion. “‘Guitar Is Dead’ is kind of my response to guitar purists,” Marcin explains about the first part of the album, continuing: “It's me declaring: ‘Yes, you're right. The guitar is dead. Keep doing everything that’s been done before.’ My goal has always been to show a wide audience that my playing style is just another way of playing guitar – there’s no barrier to entry.” Hailed by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Premier Guitar, and Guitar World, who named him “one of the most talented guitarists of his generation,” Marcin has gained millions of fans and followers, performance after performance, whether through his online videos or his appearances on hit TV shows. Marcin's virtuoso technique has earned him recognition from artists across all genres and generations, from guitar heroes like Tom Morello and Paul Stanley, pop icons like Madonna and Jungkook (BTS), to even hip-hop heavyweights like Timbaland and Ty Dolla $ign.

After his explorations of the repertoires of Bach, Schumann, and Brahms, Thomas Enhco continues to build bridges between jazz and classical music by delving this time into the immense work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as part of an album titled \"Mozart Paradox.\" In a solo piano performance, he improvises with complete freedom on the eternal themes Mozart offered in genres as varied as sonatas, symphonies, string quartets, concertos, sacred music, and opera. A jazzman of the highest order, Thomas Enhco is also an accomplished classical soloist, regularly invited by symphony orchestras worldwide to perform concertos by Mozart, Ravel, and Gershwin. In 2022, his improvisation on the \"Lacrimosa\" from the famous Requiem left a lasting impression and provided the starting point for this solo piano project full of surprises, which revisits universally cherished themes in a modern, intimate way, brimming with the fire and freshness characteristic of the most beloved of composers. Thomas Enhco summarizes Mozart Paradox: \"Mozart has accompanied me since childhood. I heard my mother sing his opera arias and my grandfather conduct his symphonies. On the violin (my first instrument) I worked on sonatas, concertos, and duos; on the piano, fantasies, chamber music, and concertos, some of which I had the opportunity to perform in concert in recent years. Yet, as a jazz musician, I had never yet drawn from his work to improvise, as I had done with Bach, Brahms, or Schumann. Last September, I went into the studio for three days and started recording improvisations, but something was wrong, I doubted more and more as the takes accumulated; we then decided to invite about ten people to attend a private concert in the studio, two nights in a row. It was much more natural for me to play this spontaneous music for a flesh-and-blood audience, and what is recorded on this album largely comes from these two concerts. This album is for me totally jazz, in its essence (improvisation, rhythms, harmonies, a way of varying around a theme as in the tradition of jazz standards). Moreover, it is a solo piano album, without any other instrument or effect, but which attempts to evoke, as in all of Mozart's music, opera singers and theatre characters.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINYL SONY MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53474286043470,"sku":"0198029096019","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/THOMAS_ENHCO_Mozart_Paradox_0198029095920_16242c0a-57b8-4983-b768-25c57ff550a3.jpg?v=1752056247"},{"product_id":"thomas-enhco-thirty-2lp","title":"THOMAS ENHCO - Thirty | 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe album is completed by seven pieces for solo piano, which Thomas Enhco positions between new music, also called neo-romantic, and the jazz ballad, but with remarkable poise and rigor.

The album also features two world premiere recordings by OSCAR-winning composers Anne Dudley and Rachel Portman. Anne Dudley wrote her new work especially for Esther Abrami, and Rachel Portman reworked her music to \"The Little Prince\" with Esther in mind. Esther Abrami came to the violin through her grandmother, has Jewish roots, and established a particularly emotional connection to the films \"Life is Beautiful\" and \"The Diary of Anne Frank\" from childhood, hence their inclusion in Cinéma. Another particularly moving track on the album is a new arrangement of the protagonist \"Zeyn\"'s theme from the Lebanese social drama \"Capernaum.\" This 2018 Oscar-nominated film depicts a young boy's survival in the slums of Beirut. Composer and film producer Khaled Mouzanar wrote this new arrangement especially for Esther Abrami. Esther Abrami worked closely with various arrangers in order to create her very own arrangements for Cinéma. With astounding clarity, virtuosity and expression, she brings this repertoire to life with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Ben Palmer. For two of the pieces on the album, Esther Abrami chose a very different type of instrumentation. In one of them, \"Comptine d'un autre été, l'après-midi,\" taken from \"Amélie\" and originally written for piano, Esther incorporated a loop station and thus accompanies herself on the violin. In another track, young guitarist Marcin is her duet partner in Astor Piazzolla's \"Libertango\" from \"Le Pont du Nord.\" For the recording of Cinéma, Esther Abrami chose the legendary Smecky Studios in Prague, one of the world's busiest soundtrack recording studios. In 80 years of existence, numerous well-known composers have recorded soundtracks there, including Rachel Portman, Daniel Pemberton, Philip Glass, Howard Shore, Alexandre Desplat, Bear McCreary, Johann Johannsson and Brian Tyler.

On Igor Levit’s album “Tristan” – which will be released on Sony Classical on September 9, 2022 - the pianist explores nocturnal themes of love and death, fear, ecstasy, loneliness \u0026amp; redemption in the music of Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt, Gustav Mahler \u0026amp; Hans Werner Henze. It includes Levit’s first concerto recording with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under Franz Welser-Möst with the album’s central work Henze’s “Tristan” for piano, electronic tapes and orchestra. The five works, including Liszt’s “Liebestraum no. 3” and “Harmonies du Soir”, as well as transcriptions of Wagner’s “Prelude to Tristan und Isolde” and Mahler’s “Adagio from Symphony no. 10”, span a period of 135 years (1837 to 1973) and represent very different genres. Only one of these works was originally conceived for piano solo, but Igor Levit’s exploration of borderline experiences in our lives – death in Life (2018), spirituality in Encounter (2020) and now, with Tristan, the link between love, death and our need for redemption – inevitably means that it is not just masterpieces for the piano that are central to his concern but, above all, compositions in which certain thematic associations find their most personal expression. Levit’s own thoughts revolve less around the themes of love and death as such than around the experience of night and of the nocturnal as a dark alternative to our conscious actions by day. “Night has so many faces. It can signal a place of refuge or the loss of control, it signifies love and death, and it is the place where we feel our deepest, most paranoid fears,” says Levit. “The Adagio from Mahler’s Tenth Symphony contains a famous outburst of pain in the form of a dissonant chord, and Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde is all about a kind of emotional nuclear meltdown. All of the piece’s essential actions take place at night.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINYL SONY MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53474286666062,"sku":"0194399435113","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/IGOR_LEVIT_Tristan_0194399434826_bb7471d4-a5ba-45d8-aa9e-4535670c5b4f.jpg?v=1752056261"},{"product_id":"hayato-sumino-human-universe-2lp","title":"HAYATO SUMINO - Human Universe | 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\"Human Universe\" is the exciting Sony Classical debut album from New York-based Japanese pianist and composer Hayato Sumino, aka \"Cateen.\" Sumino is an exceptional artistic phenomenon: known as \"Cateen\", he has garnered over 1.5 million followers worldwide across his platforms and nearly 200 million views on YouTube to date.

She adds: \"On this record, I was able to work directly with the composer Rachel Portman, who was one of my idols when I was younger. It was very important for me, and it goes in the same direction given with the tracks \"Tomorrow\" composed by Annelie or with Clara Schumann's \"Romance\".

The album features Oscar winners such as Rachel Portman and Anne Dudley, as well as new arrangements by historical female composers such as Pauline Viardot, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Teresa Carreño, and Ethel Smyth. \"Women\" also includes \"Transmission,\" an original composition by Esther Abrami, who arranged several pieces on the album. At the heart of the album is the world premiere recording of Ina Boyle's Violin Concerto, a spectacular composition from the late Romantic period. \"Women\" brings together an extraordinary ensemble of collaborators, including the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Irene Delgado-Jiménez, pianist Kim Barbier, harpist Lavinia Meijer, and the Esther Abrami Quintet. Esther Abrami carefully selected each piece for \"Women\" not only for its musical brilliance but also for the emotional connection it represents for her, shining a light on the often-overlooked voices of women in classical music. Throughout her career, Esther Abrami has been dedicated to celebrating and amplifying the voices of female composers. From her popular podcast \"Women in Classical,\" where she interviews influential female musicians, composers, and women working in classical music, to her EP \"Spotlight,\" dedicated to female composers, Abrami continues her mission to highlight and value the contributions of women to classical music.

The album also includes two world premiere recordings by OSCAR-winning composers Anne Dudley and Rachel Portman. Anne Dudley wrote her new work especially for Esther Abrami, and Rachel Portman rearranged her music for \"The Little Prince\" with Esther in mind. Esther Abrami came to the violin through her grandmother, has Jewish roots, and from childhood established a particularly emotional connection to the films \"Life is Beautiful\" and \"The Diary of Anne Frank\", hence their inclusion in Cinéma. Another particularly moving piece on the album is a new arrangement of the protagonist theme \"Zeyn\" from the Lebanese social drama \"Capernaum\". This Oscar-nominated film from 2018 tells the story of a young boy's survival in the slums of Beirut. The composer and film producer Khaled Mouzanar wrote this new arrangement especially for Esther Abrami. Esther Abrami worked closely with various arrangers to create her own arrangements for Cinéma. With astounding clarity, virtuosity and expression, she brings this repertoire to life with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Ben Palmer. For two of the pieces on the album, Esther Abrami chose a very different type of instrumentation. In one of them, \"Comptine d'un autre été, l'après-midi\", from \"Amélie\" and originally written for piano, Esther incorporated a loop station and thus accompanies herself on the violin. In another piece, the young guitarist Marcin is her duo partner in Astor Piazzolla's \"Libertango\", from \"Le Pont du Nord\".

According to the Norwegian pianist, these overlooked gems show a completely different side of the composer known for his symphonies and string quartets. \"I adore this music, and nobody seems to play it,\" says Andsnes. Dvořák's 13 piano postcards that make up the Poetic Tone Pictures were composed in the spring of 1889, signaling a shift in the composer's style away from formal constructions towards a freer, more inspired aesthetic. Among these charming pieces are evocations of magic and mystery (In the Old Castle), rustic dances (Furiant and Peasants’ Ballad), nostalgic mood pieces (Twilight Way), and tragic reminiscences (At the Hero’s Grave). The works range from profundity to playfulness, from lightness to fury – \"I sense a very strong and wonderful narrative in them,\" says Leif Ove Andsnes, who firmly believes that Dvořák conceived the pieces in this \"exceptional\" set as a single cycle to be played straight through. One of the world's most eminent pianists, Andsnes got the idea to play Czech music when a new teacher arrived from Prague at his conservatory in Bergen, Norway. Then 12 years old, his enormous fascination for the Poetic Tone Pictures led him to perform part of the repertoire in a competition for young pianists. Years later, as the Covid-19 pandemic swept the globe, Andsnes used the downtime to delve deeper into the Poetic Tone Pictures and commune with their stories. He found works of unfailing charm and many examples of Dvořák deploying a breadth of orchestral color from the piano – in addition to his exciting use of cross-rhythms and syncopations, in the manner of Czech folk dances. \"I think he creates unique colors on the piano and uses the full range of the piano convincingly, even though he was not a composer-pianist,\" says Andsnes about Dvořák's craftsmanship, which the pianist himself captures through a hauntingly concentrated recording made in Olavshallen in Trondheim and produced by John Fraser.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59292130181454,"sku":"0194399120927","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Leif_ove_andsnes.jpg?v=1774879790"},{"product_id":"leonard-bernstein-bernstein-conducts-beethoven-remastered-cd","title":"LEONARD BERNSTEIN - Bernstein conducts Beethoven - Remastered | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"No composer has spoken to people as directly as Beethoven\" Leonard Bernstein was always a significant interpreter of the great German composer.

After his explorations of the repertoires of Bach, Schumann, and Brahms, Thomas Enhco continues to build bridges between jazz and classical music by delving this time into the immense work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as part of an album titled \"Mozart Paradox.\" On solo piano, he improvises with total freedom on the eternal themes that Mozart offered in genres as varied as sonata, symphony, string quartet, concerto, sacred music, and opera. A jazzman of the highest order, Thomas Enhco is also an accomplished classical soloist, regularly invited by symphony orchestras worldwide to perform concertos by Mozart, Ravel, and Gershwin. In 2022, his improvisation on the \"Lacrimosa\" from the famous Requiem made a lasting impression and sparked this solo piano project full of surprises, which revisits beloved themes in a modern, intimate way, brimming with the passion and freshness characteristic of the most cherished of composers. Thomas Enhco summarizes Mozart Paradox as follows: \"Mozart has accompanied me since childhood. I heard my mother sing his opera arias and my grandfather conduct his symphonies. On the violin (my first instrument) I worked on sonatas, concertos, and duets; on the piano, fantasies, chamber music, and concertos, some of which I had the opportunity to play in concert in recent years. Yet, as a jazz musician, I had never before drawn on his work for improvisation, as I have done with Bach, Brahms, or Schumann. Last September, I went into the studio for three days and started recording improvisations, but something wasn't right; I doubted more and more as the takes accumulated; we then decided to invite about ten people to attend a private concert in the studio, two nights in a row. It was much more natural for me to play this spontaneous music for a live audience, and what is etched on this album largely comes from these two concerts. This album is, for me, totally jazz in its essence (improvisation, rhythms, harmonies, the way of varying around a theme as in the tradition of jazz standards). Moreover, it is a solo piano album, without any other instrument or effect, but which attempts to summon, as in all of Mozart's music, opera singers and theatrical characters.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59294559469902,"sku":"0198029095920","price":15.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Cover_thomas.jpg?v=1774881222"},{"product_id":"luka-faulisi-aria-cd","title":"LUKA FAULISI - Aria | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Aria\" marks the unconventional and refreshing Sony Classical debut of the Italian, Serbian-French violinist Luka Faulisi.

She answers this question with a journey guided by \"a variety of styles.\" This \"trademark\" is dear to her and is often recognized in the singer's projects. A variety that the composer would undoubtedly have applauded, as he pursued an artistic path as singular as it was original, far from academia, and in perpetual renewal. This variety is also ensured by the arrangements, signed by Cyrille Lehn, Arthur Lavandier, and Thibault Perrine, rich in delicious instrumental combinations where accordion, violin, double bass, and piano meet (Félicien Brut, Alexis Cardenas, Davide Vittone, Alphonse Cemin). Satie strolls through this album as he did through Paris: both everywhere present and elusive. Julie Fuchs, with an infectious joy of sharing, makes eras, styles, words, and sounds converse. She recreates the atmosphere of an artistic Paris in full effervescence, that of cabarets, salons, and concert halls, where song, humor, tenderness, and modernity mingle.

Described by The Times of London as “a musician of extraordinary versatility and taste, with a poetic sense of pulse,” Fujita signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical in 2021, having made his solo debut at the Verbier Festival performing the same series of works. Of that series, the French magazine Toute la Culture lauded Fujita for his sense of joy that shone through in “performances of incredible intimacy.” Challenging the image of Mozart’s music as written in stone without correction, Fujita approaches these sonatas with an understanding that Mozart, a pianist himself, often improvised during his own performances of the works and treated the scores as starting points for improvisation and embellishment. “He didn’t always play what he wrote,” the pianist explains of the composer. “When I play Mozart’s sonatas solely as he wrote them, it’s quite boring. You can, on the contrary, do something special.” Toute la Culture also praised him: “With a sound of pure and astonishing beauty, he inserts imaginative riffs here and there, but always in keeping with the classical style.” Mozart’s 18 piano sonatas offer a unique musical biography of the composer. Written between 1774 and 1789, they cover almost his entire adult life: the earliest dates from when he was 18, the last was composed just two years before his death in 1791. So far in Fujita’s career, they have also become an integral part of the musical biography of this increasingly in-demand pianist: He won the silver medal at the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition, partly thanks to his interpretation of Piano Sonata No. 10 (K. 330). This, in turn, was inspired by Vladimir Horowitz’s 1986 recital in Moscow where, in the same hall used for the Tchaikovsky Competition, he played the same piece. Years later, it was watching the video recording of that concert (also released by Sony Classical) that prompted Fujita to take up the piano.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59314197299534,"sku":"0196587107628","price":34.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Cover_maofujita.webp?v=1775233336"},{"product_id":"sol-gabetta-lise-cristiani-cd","title":"SOL GABETTA - Lise Cristiani | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her new album, Sol Gabetta pays tribute to the first woman to perform publicly as a professional cellist: Lise Cristiani.

Between the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties, around two world wars from which it was necessary to heal, in the vertigo of all rebirths and that of progress on the march, music also needed calm, humanity, and natural intimacy. While twenty-two French composers cultivate their secret soul in a few pianistic miniatures, electricity, the gramophone, the bicycle, the Parisian metro... are already inviting themselves into people's daily lives. Women emerge, emancipate themselves, and re-color a struggling society that demands a fairer sharing of goods, of the joy of living, and also the right to carelessness. Music then somewhat escapes the new artistic tempo of this era: Dadaism, Surrealism. The language of musicians evolves, but without expressing the same urgency for rupture, for liberation, as that of other artistic creators. These suspended gardens from this era are already surreal and free, seemingly less concerned with expression than with impression, with ideas than with sensations. Between César Franck, Ernest Chausson, and Jehan Alain, all three from a single century, the composers who suspended their gardens in this album almost all lived straddling the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Dupont, Cras, Aubert, D'Indy, Hahn, Ibert, Pierné, Vierne, Samazeuilh, Schmitt, Chaminade, Boulanger, Honegger, Tailleferre, Séverac, Saint-Saëns, Poulenc, Satie represent a particularly prolific era for French music, even if posterity will not be granted to each one in proportion to their talent. Their suspended gardens, often secret, always interior, are undoubtedly not representative of all the artistic ambitions that their protagonists displayed throughout their work, but they present themselves with depth and sincerity as many small, unrecognized refuges. Evoking with talent nature and its bucolic landscapes, each of these compositions offers its interpretation of a colorful post-romanticism that contributes to the retention of time, inviting just the right amount of mystery and nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59395603988814,"sku":"0196587497026","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Cover_jardins_suspendus.webp?v=1775808840"},{"product_id":"eric-le-sage-reinecke-brahms-cd","title":"ERIC LE SAGE - REINECKE \u0026 BRAHMS | CD","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOne of France's most celebrated pianists, Eric le Sage is a musician whose poetic, profound, and subtle playing reflects an authentic and generous personality, rewarded with numerous international prizes.

It includes the recording of Levit's first concerto with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, with the central work of the album, Henze's \"Tristan\" for piano, electronic tapes, and orchestra. The five works, including Liszt's \"Liebestraum no. 3\" and \"Harmonies du Soir,\" as well as transcriptions of Wagner's \"Prelude to Tristan und Isolde\" and Mahler's \"Adagio from Symphony no. 10,\" span a period of 135 years (1837 to 1973) and represent very different genres. Only one of these works was originally conceived for solo piano, but Igor Levit's exploration of the boundary experiences of our lives — death in Life (2018), spirituality in Encounter (2020), and now, with Tristan, the link between love, death, and our need for redemption — inevitably means that it is not only piano masterpieces that are at the heart of his concerns, but above all compositions in which certain thematic associations find their most personal expression. Levit's own thoughts revolve less around the themes of love and death as such than around the experience of night and the night as a dark alternative to our conscious actions during the day. \"Night has so many faces. It can indicate a place of refuge or a loss of control, it signifies love and death, and it's the place where we feel our deepest, most paranoid fears,\" explains Levit. \"Mahler's Adagio from the Tenth Symphony contains a famous outburst of pain in the form of a dissonant chord, and Wagner's Tristan und Isolde speaks of a kind of emotional nuclear fusion. All essential actions in the piece take place at night. In his memoirs, Hans Werner Henze also referred to his work on Tristan as a period of nightmares and dream-like hallucinations.\" Hans Werner Henze's Tristan, described by the composer as a set of \"Preludes for piano, tape and orchestra,\" is a highly refined hybrid work comprising passages for solo piano and electronics, being at once a concerto, a symphony, and a piece of musical theater. The present recording of this work was made during concerts that took place in Leipzig in November 2019. Liszt's Nocturne in A-flat major, his Liebestraum no. 3, is inspired by a setting of melancholy lines by Ferdinand Freiligrath: \"Oh, love as long as you can love! \/Oh, love as long as you want to! \/The hour is fast approaching when\/You will rise and weep by the grave!\" The same feeling of nocturnal despair is also found in Mahler, who, in late July 1910, was working on the first movement of his Tenth Symphony when he discovered his wife was having an affair. Igor Levit performs this Adagio in a little-known piano transcription by the Scottish composer Ronald Stevenson, whose great Passacaglia on DSCH he has recently done so much to promote. It is only in Harmonies du soir, the eleventh of Liszt's twelve Études d'exécution transcendante, that one finds a sense of reconciliation, a peaceful counterweight to the ecstasies and nightmares experienced by these Wagnerian and Mahlerian figures who, in Wagner's own words, are \"devoted to the night.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59395704750414,"sku":"0194399434826","price":15.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Cover_Tristan.jpg?v=1775144996"},{"product_id":"yo-yo-ma-six-evolutions-bach-cello-suites","title":"YO-YO MA - Six Evolutions - Bach: Cello Suites | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eSony Classical is proud to announce the release of Yo-Yo Ma's new album featuring Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites, his third and final recording of these works.

This new album marks a new chapter in the cellist’s 58-year relationship with this music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59395797877070,"sku":"0190758546513","price":27.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Cover_Six_Evolution.jpg?v=1775145296"},{"product_id":"mao-fujita-frederic-chopin-alexander-scriabin-akio-yashiro-72-preludes-cd","title":"MAO FUJITA \u0026 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN \u0026 ALEXANDER SCRIABIN \u0026 AKIO YASHIRO - 72 Preludes | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eMao Fujita’s New Recording: 72 Preludes. Three cycles of Preludes by Frédéric Chopin and Alexander Scriabin, plus the world premiere recording of Akio Yashiro’s “24 Preludes”. Following his “consistently impressive” (Gramophone) journey through the complete Mozart piano sonatas for Sony Classical – awarded an Opus Klassik Award – Japanese pianist Mao Fujita has recorded an equally ambitious project. In doing so, Mao Fujita unites Europe where he now lives and Japan where he was born and grew up. Chopin’s 24 Preludes, completed in 1839, were the first to treat the piano prelude as a standalone work. In 1884, the Russian visionary Alexander Scriabin began work on his own set of 24 Preludes, directly inspired by Chopin’s. Akio Yashiro was born in Tokyo and studied with Olivier Messiaen in Paris, where they became close friends. His 24 Preludes, which follow the same cycle of keys as Chopin’s and Scriabin’s, date from 1945 – before the then 15-year-old composer had travelled to Europe. The works incorporate a wide variety of moods and styles, with the young composer exploring various harmonic and rhythmic devices with panache. Mao Fujita compares the content of his new recording to a refreshing yet substantial sushi meal: “If Chopin and Scriabin are the fish and the rice, the foundation, Yashiro is the wasabi – equally vital, and with that special kick that creates something delicious.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59395844374862,"sku":"0198028257626","price":15.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/Cover_72_preludes.jpg?v=1775145890"},{"product_id":"hayato-sumino-chopin-orbit-cd","title":"HAYATO SUMINO - Chopin Orbit | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe highly anticipated second album from Japanese pianist and composer Hayato Sumino (aka \"Cateen\").
