« Notre ami l’atome », fait le récit de la cohabitation forcée avec l’industrie nucléaire. En cinq chapitres et au fil de poignants récits de victimes, Kenichi Watanabe retrace un siècle de désastre sanitaire en dénonçant le silence et les mensonges d’État qui l’entourent.

When this performance was first released (on Bruno Walter Society LP No. BWS-742 in 1980) critic Mortimer H. Frank wrote in the USA journal Fanfare: I have always felt that Bruno Walter was at the height of his powers during the years 1941-54. This is well illustrated in this released Beethoven Ninth, recorded in concert on November 13, 1947. Those who never heard Walter in his prime may be shocked by this London performance in which the first movement has a fiery, tough tension at times suggestive of Toscanini. With stabbing, powerful accents, crashing fortes, and uncommon vigor, Walter insistently presses forward in a reading of thrilling drama and power The Scherzo (with neither of its repeats observed) dances with demoniac fervor, although its "trio" would have been more effective at a slightly faster trempo… this Beethoven Ninth reveals a conductor of trenchant kinetic urgency. Those who have doubted Walter's greatness may well change their view after hearing it.

Florian Uhlig's epochal project of a real complete recording of Schumann's piano work for two hands is approaching its Finale.

Florian Noack embraces the syncopated vitality of stride, the ironic tenderness of Berlin cabaret, and the poetic brilliance of the avant-garde.

On his seventh release on Navona Records, THE ADVENTURES OF FLORIAN, Michael J. Evans presents an epic, modern adaptation of Henry Bestons fairytale of the same name. Over the course of four orchestral acts, Evans reframes the story as a tale of trans heroship, with Prince Florizel marrying Florian himself presenting as a boy, rather than revealing Florian as Isabella. Beautifully accessible and poignantly educational, THE ADVENTURES OF FLORIAN brings LGBT characters into the spotlight to improve their representation and educate audiences on the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity. Over the course of the tale, Florian and Florizel display true love for each other and come together as one. Evans enhances the pieces narrative drive with dedicated instrumentation for each character.
