Hommage Arguerich Maiky

Legendary Jazz/Soul vocalist Patti LaBelle is making a return to music after going nearly a decade without releasing an album. Her newest LP, "Bel Hommage" is slated to be released by GPE Records on May 5th, 2017, and the entire record only contains one duet and it's with Kem.

To celebrate the 80th birthday of one of Quebec’s most renowned living composers, pianist Louise Bessette presents Hommage à François Dompierre, which features music written for the cinema, a few unpublished works, and pieces for two pianos featuring the composer himself. Of special note is “Entre mer et chanterelles”, composed for Louise Bessette as a tribute to the composer Gilles Tremblay, and “Un bonheur d’occasion”, an unusual duet with Dompierre, who improvises on his own score performed by Bessette.

The German radio broadcaster Deutschlandfunk Kultur, the German Music Council, and GENUIN once again jointly present the debut CD of a promising young musician: organist Aurel Dawidiuk is the winner of the 2022 German Music Competition in the organ category. His stellar career, however, goes far beyond that, as Dawidiuk is also celebrating his first international successes as a pianist and conductor. Exploring the theme of B-A-C-H in his organ debut, the major organ works assembled here span three centuries and include music by Johann Sebastian Bach himself, Johann Krebs, Franz Liszt, Zsigmond Szathmáry, and Max Reger – a rich diversity of music covering a wide range of styles!
