The violinist Lilit Tonoyan has found her center of life and work in Cologne. Especially since she left her Armenian homeland in 2007, she has been on her instrument in Cologne's lively music scene between musical ages and world cultures - not only in one of the Cologne World Jazz Ensembles she founded, but she also stands up - for example Participation in the Ensemble Musikfabrik, open to new music. When it comes to their “most personal” musical themes, however, a deep spirituality comes first. In this regard, she is researching the interfaces between Western musical culture and the rich musical heritage of the Near Eastern homeland. How does the baroque polyphony of Johann Sebastian Bach get along with the more archaic, but at the same time much wider meditative arcs, which are defined by hexachrode melodies in the old liturgical chants of their home country?

World-Premeire Recordings Rombergs Cello Concertos. Sic transit gloria mundi all those who occupy themselves with Bernhard Rombergs life and work are immediately reminded of this traditional piece of wisdom. At the beginning of the nineteenth century he was acclaimed as an excellent virtuoso on the violoncello and recognized as one of the most important composers of his times. Even during his lifetime, however, he was forced to experience how his star declined, his playing style was regarded as old, and his compositions vanished from concert programs.

The two Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Flute and for two Cellos by Antoine Reicha show an astonishing balance between innovation and reflection. They bear witness to an outstanding virtuosity and art of composition, which revolutionise forms through spectacular, enthusiasm-provoking lines of execution and through novelties of writing that impact their deeper structures. A composer who established a link between the Enlightenment and Romanticism, Vienna and Paris, Joseph Haydn and César Franck (one of the last among his many pupils), Reicha can no longer be reduced to his theoretical and didactic dimension alone: his extensive work, still too little known, continues to surprise us.

Armenia is a singular nation in possession of a uniquely preserved culture, perched high in the Caucasus mountains with an ancient history. Despite being surrounded by powerful and influential neighbors, Armenia is largely homogenous and preservation of its rich history is prioritized and show up in its artistic communities. Serenade with a Dandelion is a follow up to violinist and curator Movses Pogossian’s Modulation Necklace, also featuring exclusively Armenian repertoire (FCR244), and chronicles a rich contemporary lineage of chamber music and works for voice. Pogossian has organized the four discs of Serenade with a Dandelion by instrumentation — the first and third CDs highlight chamber music without piano, the second focuses on art song, and the last on music for piano, mostly featuring solo works but closing with a work for piano trio. Throughout this collection of music spanning nearly a century, one hears several aesthetic continuities. Several of the pieces use folkloric material as their thematic basis, there is a frequent reliance on modal pitch material drawn from the harmonic minor scale, melodic ornamentation especially in melismatic figures is employed frequently, and there is a consciousness of balancing trends within a larger community of concert music with the preservation of an Armenian musical identity. Pogossian and his performer colleagues deliver committed, heartfelt performances, projecting a strong connection to this repertoire.

André Previn Known as a successful classical conductor, jazz pianist, and composer of jazz, classical, and film music, André Previn frequently bridged the gap between popular and so-called "serious" music, and in doing so broadened the horizons of both. A German-American who fled Nazi Germany with his family in his youth, he went on to win four Academy Awards, all for his work on film musicals in late '50s and '60s, including his adaptation of My Fair Lady (1964). By the '70s, he had established himself as one of the world's leading classical conductors, with terms at the London Symphony Orchestra (1968-1979), Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (1976-1984), and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (1985-1992). He also served as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1985 to 1989. During his tenure at the LSO, the BBC series André Previn's Music Hour made him household name.
