Edward George Power Biggs (March 29, 1906 – March 10, 1977) was a British-born American concert organist and recording artist.

Following the success and widespread critical acclaim of his 2020 release ‘Whereabouts’, Danish guitarist/composer Rasmus Oppenhagen Krogh proudly presents his third record, ‘Until Then’, set to release on October 20th on April Records.

Gustav Maria Leonhardt was a Dutch keyboardist, conductor, musicologist, teacher and editor. He was a leading figure in the historically informed performance movement to perform music on period instruments. Leonhardt professionally played many instruments, including the harpsichord, pipe organ, claviorganum (a combination of harpsichord and organ), clavichord, fortepiano and piano. He also conducted orchestras and choruses.

New album release today with Jorge Rossy, Doug Weiss & Bill McHenry. We recorded this music at Stureparken studio (Stockholm) during September last year. It’s a mix of my originals & standards from composers like: Antônio Carlos Jobim; Charlie Parker; John Coltrane; Jimmy Van Heusen; Wayne Shorter; Sammy Fain.

Gustav Mahler described his Third Symphony as ‘a work in which the whole world is indeed reflected’, a claim supported by its large, six-movement structure and the use of huge orchestral and choral forces, plus a part for alto solo. The first performance of the symphony took place on 9 June 1902 in Krefeld under Mahler’s direction. This is the third recording of a Mahler symphony by the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor Tomas Netopil. They are joined here by Bettina Ranch (alto), the Aalto Children’s Choir, the ladies of the Essen Philharmonic Choir and the children’s choir of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.

Seven musical character images – each one immensely sensual and expressive, and standing on its own like a monument. The British composer Gustav Holst, fascinated by (esoteric) astrology, chose the planets of our solar system and the characteristics attributed to them as the basis for what he referred to as musical ""mood pictures"" or ""embodiments"". Ultimately, the seven movements of his orchestral suite “The Planets”, op. 32, composed between 1914 and 1916, can also be understood as general explorations of human traits.

A late discovery of a most important female composer from France for the musical world. Melanie Helene Bonis, known by her artistic pseudonym Mel Bonis (21 January 1858 - 18 March 1937), was a Romantic composer in the late years of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century.

“The harmonic quality and the inner freedom of the composition can be expressed very clearly through the possibilities of the piano. The personal meeting with Mahler's genius and his work was an inspirational journey and also a great adventure for us.”

There is perhaps no other musical ensemble more consistently and closely associated with the history and tradition of European classical music than the Vienna Philharmonic.
