Alexandra Stréliski Pianoscope

Néo-Romance“ ist das klangmalerisches Debüt-Album der kanadischen Pianistin und Komponistin Alexandra Stréliski bei XXIM Records (Sony Music).

For her first solo album on Linn – she has appeared with her Duo Pleyel partner Richard Egarr on three occasions, and more will come! – Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya has taken the bold route of recording the little-known Gottlieb Muffat. Son of Georg Muffat, who most Baroque aficionados will know, Gottlieb attained far greater success in his working life, ultimately being promoted to first organist of the Austrian Habsburg court. In this double album Alexandra has recorded the lavish Componimenti musicali per il cembalo , a collection of seven ‘suites’ that are rich in texture, emotional range and flamboyant decoration. Carefully notated in the magnificent score, the breathtaking ornamentation is there to add expressiveness to the performance. These works represent one of the pinnacles of keyboard music from the mid-eighteenth century, and deserve their place in the repertoire.

If one reviews her earlier CD programmes and not least her last, very successful album “Grenzgänge”, it is striking that the works of Johann Sebastian Bach form a fixed point of reference for the pianist Alexandra Sostmann. Bach is almost always there. Therefore, it was only logical that she went into the studio to record a complete recording of one of his major works, the first part of the “Well-Tempered Clavier”, after an extensive and intensive study of the music.

Sans Mots - no words! When the everyday life is characterized by one's family as well as being a creative and artistically involved, many impressions merge on a daily basis. Therefore, it can be an easy task to run out of words from time to time. This is how Alexandra Lehmler feels like: She is on the one side, a successful artist, on the other side, a loving mother. Being the mother of three kids, she has never lost the urge to develop herself as a musician and realize her full potential.

Renowned in his day as a virtuoso keyboard player, Bernardo Pasquini (1637-1710) was the most important Italian composer of keyboard music between Frescobaldi and Domenico Scarlatti. In that capacity his output has output has been surveyed by Brilliant Classics with authoritative collections of his sonatas for harpsichord (94286) and for two organs (94347). However, Pasquini also composed more than 70 cantatas – most of them for one and two voices with continuo accompaniment, of the concise and dramatic kind written by the young Handel after he arrived in Rome in 1706.

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres' striking new album ‘Play Echoes‘ is a collaboration with Her Ensemble, the UK's first women and non-binary orchestra formed during the pandemic. ‘Play Echoes‘ is a profoundly meditative, beguiling collection combining classical instrumentation with electronic and electro-mechanical elements.
