Altiora Peto, Concerto for Trumpet and Strings was commissioned by Tony Lennon for the occasion of his 80th birthday. Altiora Peto was the Latin motto from the St. Louis Jesuit School Claremont (now John XXIII College) of which Tony is an alumnus. It means “I seek higher things” or simply “Aim high”. This performance and video recording were produced with the generous support of The Tony and Gwenyth Lennon Foundation. Recorded by Matthew Hiley in the Eugene Goossens Hall at the ABC Ultimo Centre in Sydney, Australia. Edited and mixed by Lee Buddle at Crank Recording, Perth, Western Australia.

"Goodbye Tiger" was Ralph’s fourth studio album and featured Down in the Lucky Country, Deep Water, Winter in Amsterdam, and of course – Goodbye Tiger.

For his debut recording, Australian pianist Calvin Abdiel presents three technically complex piano works by three Romantic composers. All works are based on the theme/variation form. For Schumann's fiendishly challenging Etudes symphoniques, Calvin adds his own interpolated sequence of the posthumous variations. The equally demanding Liszt showpiece based around three melodies from Mozart's Don Giovanni, and the recital concludes with the near 'unplayable' Paganini Variations of Brahms, which Clara Schumann referred as the 'Witch's Variations'.

From the brilliant singers of the Australian Vocal Ensemble (AVÉ) comes a new song cycle bringing to life through music the poetry of Gwen Harwood. This project marks the second collection commissioned by AVÉ as they continue to expand their repertoire of new Australian vocal works, celebrating the incredible talent of the ensemble – Katie Noonan, Fiona Campbell OAM, Louis Hurley and Andrew O’Connor – and creating a unique sound world to be discovered and shared.
