"Few artists are as multifaceted as Esa-Pekka Salonen not only in the way he combines his conducting success with his composing, but also in the scope of the repertoire that he has championed over the past 30 years and more. Esa-Pekka Salonen: The Complete Sony Recordings is the largest collection to date of the work of this vital figure in contemporary music-making.

The Radio Legacy is a compilation of the seven part Anthology of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the four box sets devoted to the orchestra s chief conductors Willem Mengelberg, Eduard van Beinum, Bernard Haitink and Riccardo Chailly, and also featuring more recent recordings with Mariss Jansons.

In celebrating Vladimir Jurowski's first 10 years as Principal Conductor since 2007, this set of recordings embraces established orchestral classics as well as unearthing rarely heard masterpieces, certain to both challenge and reward the listener simultaneously. These 22 previously unreleased recordings showcase Jurowski’s typical flair for brilliant programming.

This second volume of the Guide to Musical Instruments explores the history of musical instruments in the period from 1800 to 1950. Its purpose is both to discuss improvements and transformations of instruments dating from before 1800 and to investigate all the novelties thought up by instrument makers during this era. All these developments took place in a context in which the process of instrument making moved from artisans’ workshops to commercial firms which became veritable factories, typical of the ‘age of industrialisation’. The majority of the musical examples are recordings of individual instruments that allow us to hear timbres often lost under the weight of the orchestral mass.This second volume of the Guide follows the same principles as the first.
