Composer Anthony Cheung releases All Roads, a follow up to FCR215 Cycles and Arrows. Featuring performances by the Escher Quartet, violinist Miranda Cuckson, soprano Paulina Swierczek, and pianists Jacob Greenberg, Gilles Vonsattel, and Cheung himself, All Roads encapsulates Cheung's penchant for drawing on broad sources of inspiration and filtering them through an incisive and discriminating compositional process to produce substantial, structurally airtight works.

Beautifully melancholic: musical expeditions, graceful, flowing and deeply emotionally moving, are bundled by Jacob Karlzon on his new album "Wanderlust". The beauties of his piano melodies and harmonies are like psalms, like vocal lines that draw from rich compositional history, yet turn entirely to the now. "Wanderlust" breathes hope and adventure, the music opens spaces for love and discourse, for spontaneity and structure - contemporary and timeless at the same time.

Jacob Obrecht was one of the primary composers responsible for significant changes in musical style during the late fifteenth century. He was especially important to the development of larger forms, as the first composer to systematically demonstrate unified formal structure and long-range cadential planning over the course of extended works. Obrecht's approach to unity and development went beyond the simple employment of a cantus firmus or unifying gesture. He consequently personifies today's mass-as-symphony ideal most decisively.
