Jan Reetze

Byrd's vocal works would have assured him a place in history as the greatest English composer of his generation. Yet he was also the outstanding composer of his time in the realm of instrumental music - indeed, probably the first musician to achieve supreme stature simultaneously in music for voices, for instrumental consort and for solo keyboard instrument.

'Hevel' is the key word that links all the pieces on this album. It comes from the Hebrew version of the Old Testament Book of Kohelet (Book of Ecclesiastes).

As a cellist, Jan Vogler is always looking for interesting repertoire extensions for his instrument. After the world premiere recording of the "Three Continents" cello Concerto written for him by three composers for his last album, Jan Vogler now lets his cello "sing" the "pop songs" of the past centuries. His partners are the BBC Philharmonic and conductor Omer Meir Wellber. The new arrangements span a range from Monteverdi to Michael Jackson, from Mozart to the Beatles.

The time has come: The Camerata Musica Limburg is releasing its latest album with GENUIN featuring works by Franz Schubert for male choir. Since 2015, enchanted by their warm, round and flawlessly refined sound, we have listened enthusiastically to this vocal ensemble with every release. The sixth and final production now extends beyond Schubert: it unites arrangements and pieces inspired by him. They range from the romantic, sonorous arrangements of Silcher and Brahms to world premiere recordings by Marten Jansson and Christopher Tarnow. The male vocal ensemble Camerata Musica Limburg was founded in 1999 and has since been under the direction of Jan Schumacher. For the members of the choir, the founding is a further development of their common musical roots, which are in the choir of the Limburg Domsingknaben.

It’s been well over a year since Jan Blomqvist dropped debut album ‘Remote Control’, but its charm has far from faded. The critically acclaimed album proved one of the most elegant bodies of work to see release in early 2016 and that is exactly what Jan Blomqvist builds on as he releases its sixteen-track remix album: ‘Remote Control (Remixed)’.

Jan Lisiecki puts the spotlight on rarely recorded works of the orchestral Chopin, the repertoire that became his calling card and kick-started his international career. Jan’s release of both piano concertos (recorded at the age of 13 and 14) with Sinfonia Varsovia and Howard Shelley was praised as one of the most exciting contributions to Chopin’s 200th anniversary year in 2010. The two live recordings that have earned Jan the prestigious Diapason Découverte award in May 2010, placed him on the map as a promising newcomer and resulted in his exclusive DG recording deal.
