HORN UNIVERSE
Works for Horn, Tenor and Orchestra by Telemann, Mozart, Britten and Kikta

Hervé Joulain, Horn - Kārlis Rērihs, Horn (Telemann) - Kaëlig Boché, Tenor (Britten) - Sinfonietta Rīga Chamber Orchestra - Kaspars Adamsons, Conductor


... As a great admirer of all the works in this album, hornist Hervé Joulain cannot hide his excitement at presenting the Concerto for Horn and Strings by Valery Kikta. It was pure chance that led Joulain to discover the recording by Valery Zhavoronkov, while looking for educational information for the completion of his horn book. He immediately fell in love with the piece, Kikta having mastered the art of playing with half a dozen major thematic elements, which he reuses very happily, not to say brilliantly. ...

"Fantastic Worlds - Organ Transformations"
The Bach Organ
Works by Frescobaldi, Buxtehude, Mozart, Schumann, Boëly, Chopin, Reger, Saint-Saëns, Verdi and Bach

Roman Emilius, Organ


The human imagination opens up worlds full of enchanting beauty, threatening dreams, night and sun – and the organ is the ideal companion for this! From Frescobaldi to Saint-Saëns, this CD follows capricious and passionately winding paths in "Fantastic worlds”.
Roman Emilius on the versatile Ahrend organ (2020) of the Trinity Church in Regensburg (Bavaria) takes us into the fleeting realm of fantasy.

Ofra Yitzhaki plays Bardanashvili
A premiere recording of the complete piano music of Georgian-Israeli composer Josef Bardanashvili

Ofra Yitzhaki, Piano


With this new album, Ofra Yitzhaki presents the complete piano works of the contemporary composer Josef Bardanashvili as premiere recording.
A spectacular journey between music theater and Jewish prayer, Sephardic tunes and jazz, Puccini and Alban Berg, baroque, romanticism and film music.

Dreames & Imaginations -
Poeticall Musicke to be sung to the Lyra viol
Music from around 1600 by R. Jones, W. Corkine, T. Hume, J. Danyel, T. Ford & J. Dowland for Voice, Lyra viol, Lute & Harp

Anna-Lena Elbert, soprano - Friederike Heumann, viola da gamba, lyra viol & direction - Evangelina Mascardi, Renaissance lute - Angélique Mauillon, triple harp


All these composers contributed in their own way to the rich flowering of English Renaissance music by expanding the boundaries of musical forms and instrumental techniques, and by seeking out new, captivating sounds.
Thanks to the excellent ensemble, this music blossoms once more in its former glory, and we – the listeners – can be enchanted by its beauty and inventiveness. Moreover, we are also invited to develop our own “dreams and imaginations,” melancholic or otherwise, to this music!

Frédéric Chopin: Etudes op. 10 and op. 25

Anastasia Zorina, Piano


[...] The decisive (and historically significant) aspect of his etudes, pianistic gems without exception, is the gain in compositional and aesthetic quality; they are poetic pieces of the undisputedly highest calibre.
Chopin deserves credit for radically transcending the dreary practice purpose of the piano etude of earlier settings and thus creating his own, aesthetically fully-fledged piano genre.

"Ilmonique"

Achim Kaufmann, Piano - Kalle Kalima, Acoustic Guitar


High Resolution Recording/Release - 24 Bit / 96 kHz (+ ADM)

Achim Kaufmann and Kalle Kalima are both accomplished jazz musicians based in Berlin but working in whole Europe and sometimes on other continents as well.
This is their first duo recording – the decision to use acoustic guitar and acoustic piano made the project unique for them. The fact that both instruments can provide harmonic information requires deep listening on various levels – pitch-wise, chord-wise, register-wise, rhythmically and texturally.
The duo combination of piano and acoustic guitar puts these possibilities and challenges under a magnifying glass. The music is a collective meditation on influences from Miles Davis over Morton Feldman to Robert Johnson but all original compositions by Kaufmann and Kalima.
This album "Ilmonique" shows new sides of their musical journey.

"Mystic Encounters"
Chamber Music by Ektoras Tartanis
[mostly Premiere Recordings]

Irina Jae-Eun Park, Soprano - Michael Borth, Baritone - Susanne Keck, Bassoon - Paul Drouet, Piano


"Programme music as chamber music? There is an obvious common denominator between Greek mythology and Paul Celan‘s poetry: mysticism. Whether consciously or unconsciously, this element seems to give my personal cultural roots the appropriate musical expression. If one asks what exactly is meant to be expressed here and whether the titles and subtitles of the two chamber music works should be understood as program music, then a very specific artistic credo will be revealed.

"Käfer töten"
Lieder cycle by Alexander M. Wagner
[World Premiere Recording]

Graham F. Valentine, Voice – Enikő Cseh, Flute – Jake Mann, Clarinet – Florian Moser, Violin – Felix Rosenboom, Cello – Shun Oi, Piano – Cristian Spătaru, Conductor


In Alexander M. Wagner's cycle KÄFER TÖTEN, the ‘inner child’ of the human being is caught up in a merry-go-round of urges and illusions. The composer impressively builds a phantasmagorical rainbow through the underworld of the psyche.
The Scottish actor Graham Forbes Valentine lends schizophrenic faces to the ambiguous states of mind in the work. His lyrical, morbid voice, both menacing and tender, makes him one of the most original voice artists of our time. Of fear, greed, sadness, lust and delusion – a round dance of lost memories of a world suspended between dream and reality.

"Plateaux"

Clara Haberkamp Trio: Clara Haberkamp, Piano - Oliver Potratz, Bass - Jarle Vespestad, Drums


High Resolution Recording/Release - 24 Bit / 192 kHz (+ ADM)

The music of "Plateaux" has everything from the knottiest of counterpoint ("Collage"), achingly intense lyricism ("Enfold Me like a Poem"), the quiet and reflective ("On a Park Bench"), idealised dreamscape ("Fantasmes") to moments when she brings the music back to simple, heartfelt forms of expression which cannot fail to reach every heart ("If You could read My Mind"). And there can be very few singer/pianists since Shirley Horn who have reached the degree of interdependence of piano and voice that Haberkamp brings to her hauntingly reharmonized "Danny Boy", a welcome return to singing for just one track on the album.

"Invitation à la Danse"
Works for Piano solo by Chopin, Debussy, Bach, Liszt, Babajanian and Khachaturian

Vardan Mamikonian, Piano


"I have devoted this most recent recording to dance. The pieces that I perform here are all linked to the art of dance from different eras and different cultures. Throughout history and in most people‘s perception, dance has always been a source of entertainment and joy, but it can also represent more sombre occasions, with pomp and grandeur. [...]
In short, dance can express diametric opposites and unite those opposites at the same time. [...]" Vardan Mamikonian

"Cycle"
[Single, Digital Release]

Clara Haberkamp Trio: Clara Haberkamp, Piano - Oliver Potratz, Bass - Jarle Vespestad, Drums


»»» Single (Pre-Release) from the new Album "Plateaux".

High Resolution Recording/Release - 24 Bit / 192 kHz (+ ADM)
in the new TYXart series "JAZZart" (Trio Photo: Peter Hundert)

Clara Haberkamp says of the single release, "Cycle". "This piece evokes a system that keeps returning to the place where it started, to paths and situations that have already been experienced in a similar form. But rather than being repetitive, new musical levels and dimensions are always being created by rebuilding the original structure. By constantly circling, things develop, widen and increase in energy. There is a glimpse of infinity within a form that allows growth, change and multidimensionality. It reminds me of a phoenix, a moon, or the rhythm of day and night, and that brings me into a state where I feel calm, relaxed – but completely alive." (Sebastian Scotney)

We are pleased to announce the Submission of three TYXart Albums, in several Categories, for this Year's OPUS KLASSIK!

Georges Barboteu – Centenaire – "Jeux"
Works for Horn, Horn Quartet and Piano
[mostly Premiere Recordings]

Hervé Joulain, Horn & Horn Quartet
Leopold Mozart String Quartet
Tatiana Chernichka, Piano


2024 celebrates the centenary of the birth of an extraordinary artist – Georges Barboteu.
A musician who, like many others, was certainly an excellent instrumentalist, but did not content his artistic abilities in a single art, with a single instrument. The son of the principal horn of the Algiers Opera orchestra was also the student of an uncompromising father whose walls of the villa in the small port of Laperouse still resound with his outbursts of voice. [...]
Mainly first recordings of works by the great composer and hornist Georges Barboteu, interpreted by Tatiana Chernichka, the Leopold Mozart String Quartet and Hervé Joulain.

The Carnival of the Dinosaurs
A musical fairytale, by Tom Woods
(Premiere Recording)

Rachel Teear (Narrator) - Freddy Kempf (Piano 1) - Natalia Woods (Piano 2)


Tyrannosaurus Regina is the tyrant Queen of the dinosaurs and preparations are underway for the Carnival celebrating her birthday. Always suspicious, she sends out spies to observe her subjects including a melancholy Brontosaurus, partying Triceratops and a tattooed Ankylosaurus. But perhaps the real threat comes from the Pterodactyls above?
"The Carnival of the Dinosaurs" is a musical fairytale that will delight listeners and readers young and old.

»»» CD "Eugène Ysaÿe - 6 Sonatas for Violin solo" - Elena Denisova, Violin

Jean Sibelius: 5 Esquisses, Op. 114
(5 Sketches / Viisi Luonnosta)

Yi Zhong, Piano


This collection is comprised of Jean Sibelius' last solo piano work, written in 1929.
Pianist Yi Zhong presents this cycle of a sequence of pieces with a very original character in an interpretation that emphasizes the late style of composer Jean Sibelius in a remarkable way. In the “5 Esquisses”, the piano texture is melodious and colourful, it contains tonal and harmonic innovations, finally achieving a kind of pianistic sound that corresponds to his orchestral works. A shift towards atonality draws the listener in ...

"Silencium cordis"
Hope in times of isolation

Hermann Weindorf, Piano/Percussion/Keyboards
Berthold Weindorf, Soprano Saxophone


A duo project with Soprano Saxophone and Piano/Keyboards.
Musically between Jazz, Minimal Music & Classical Music.
A rather "Meditative Regalia" for people who are searching for "Mindfulness" and for the "SILENCE OF THE HEART"...

The starting point for SILENCIUM CORDIS was the Greek term of wisdom HESYCHIA / The term means CALMNESS or SILENCE ... / HESYCHIA is associated with the ideas of serenity and inner peace ... / It is contemplation as a way of life.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Italian Concerto BWV 971,
Moritz Moszkowski: Étincelles Op. 36 No. 6

Irma Issakadze, Piano


The "Italian Concerto" (originally titled "Concerto nach italienischem Gusto") BWV 971 is one of the few instrumental concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) without orchestral accompaniment. The influence of Italian masters on Bach is reflected in its style as Bach combines the orchestra's tutti passages with the solos and weaves them together in counterpoint style that is characteristic for his music.
The highly virtuosic piano piece "Étincelles" (Sparks) Op. 36 No. 6 by Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925) from the cycle "Huit Morceaux caractéristiques" (Eight characteristic pieces) is also considered to be his best-known work.

»»» New CD "Bach - Gamba Sonatas" -
Thomas Goetschel, Viola da Gamba & Yvonne Ritter, Harpsichord

Johann Sebastian Bach: Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord BWV 1027-1029

Thomas Goetschel, Viola da Gamba &
Yvonne Ritter, Harpsichord


Thomas Goetschel and Yvonne Ritter have been making music together for many years and share a great passion for Early Music. When they work together on works, an exact historically informed reading forms the basis for lively and modern interpretations. Both play chamber and orchestral music from the Renaissance to the Classical period in various ensembles.
The beauty, depth and diversity of Johann Sebastian Bach's three sonatas for harpsichord and viola da gamba fascinate them equally. This fascination, together with the instruments suitable for the repertoire - harpsichord after Johann Heinrich Gräbner (Dresden 1774) and seven-string bass viol attributed to Johann Christian Hoffmann (Leipzig around 1720) - are the inspiration for this recording.

Steffen Wolf - Essais musicaux
Works for Violin, Clarinet, Piano and Reciter
[World Premiere Recordings]

Ewelina Nowicka, Violin - Pamela Coats, Clarinet - Jennifer Hymer, Piano - Michi Komoto, Piano - Steffen Wolf, Recitation


This CD brings together chamber music works for violin, clarinet and piano from 2017-2021. Three of the six pieces attempt to capture aspects of time, while the remaining compositions are inspired by the arts of painting, architecture, and literature.
In a fundamentally searching and open attitude, all six works follow the idea of the literary-philosophical essay, in which it is precisely the subjective perspective that is the appeal of the investigation, and the process of questioning itself that is of great importance. "Essais musicaux" are not intended to be a linear "translation" of paintings, texts, or buildings into the language of music; rather they tell of these encounters with art, sometimes in a dreamy and freely associative way, sometimes in a clearly defined way.

Andreas J. Winkler: with and without words
- Chamber Music, Lieder and Works for Piano solo -
[World Premiere Recordings]

Elena Puszta, Soprano – Denis Ivanov, Piano – Margarita Rumyantseva, Violin – Yuriy Broshel, Saxophone


"Power and colour" is the musical credo of composer Andreas J. Winkler (b. 1974). He combines an unmistakable jazz influence with sounds à la Stravinsky and Berg and discovers many an untrodden side path in the process.
This recording presents an excerpt of his work to date as a composer of chamber music and Lieder.

Eugène Ysaÿe (1858–1931):
6 Sonatas for Violin solo Op. 27
Recordings in six historical Viennese ambiences

Elena Denisova, Violin


"Welcome to the infinite violin world of Ysaÿe‘s music. Everything that Eugène Ysaÿe wrote enriches our violin literature in an unprecedented way.
Since each sonata is dedicated to a particular violinist, each work has a correspondingly unrepeatable, individual character. To emphasize this even more clearly, I decided to record each work in a different Viennese ambience.
Multifaceted and courageous, uncompromisingly following his ideas of how the violin can and should sound – he also opens up an unlimited horizon for us, the performers, to 'embody' these sounds." Elena Denisova

"Passion on 10 Strings - Music for Viola & Guitar"
Música Española & Tango Zero Hour

Works by Granados, Piazzolla, de Falla, Malats and Albéniz

Nicolas Corti, Viola & Han Jonkers, Classical Guitar


The Spanish pieces on this CD became famous mainly as solo guitar compositions by the three Catalan master pianists Albéniz, Malats and Granados, and alternates with music by one of the most frequently performed works of de Falla, and the Argentine composer Piazzolla. Corti and Jonkers had the idea to transcribe these works for viola and guitar. The viola-guitar combination gives these compositions a whole new dimension. Compared to the solo guitar versions, the works appear in a completely new light, allowing the compositions to emit transparency and a variety of tonal colors.

"Album for the Lute"
Music from the former library of Dr. Werner Wolffheim

Works by Anonymous, Hültz, Reusner, Pinel, Gaultier, Schmelzer and Bleystein de Prague
--- World Premiere Recordings ---

Bernhard Hofstötter, Baroque Lute


In 1928/29, Dr. Werner Wolffheim put his legendary music collection up for auction in Berlin. Among its countless treasures are original editions of Bach's "The Art of the Fugue" and "Musical Offering" as well as an "Album for the Lute", an exquisite collection of music for the 11-course baroque lute. This manuscript, now kept in Melbourne, contains almost exclusively unique pieces, which were recorded here for the first time.

"Bohemian String Trios"
Works by Martinů, Pichl, Vanhal and Leistner-Mayer
[incl. 2 World Premiere Recordings]

DEUTSCHES STREICHTRIO (German String Trio):
Ingolf Turban, Violin - Jürgen Weber, Viola - Reiner Ginzel, Cello


"From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields" – this is how we might sum up the shared roots of these four composers. Pichl and Vanhal penned their works in an early classical style, while Martinů and Leistner-Meyer deployed the aesthetic means of expression of their own period to enrich the repertoire while still invoking the ideals of the classical era. This programme – interpreted superbly – is the perfect treat for listeners who enjoy discovering new works and expanding their musical horizons!

Jakob Friedrich Kleinknecht: Trio Sonatas for two Flutes and Basso continuo
[World Premiere Recordings]

Ensemble LA CANTONNADE:
Zsuzsa Csige and Miho Shirai, Transvers Flutes - Marie Colombat, Baroque Cello - Niklas Heineke, Harpsichord/Spinet


The fact that few works on Jakob Friedrich Kleinknecht are still to be found these days is due less to an injustice on the part of the history of music or to the overshadowing genius of his contemporaries Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn than to the vagaries of history and the cultural context then in upheaval. [...]
This selection of Trio Sonatas on period instruments is a rediscovery of a composer who is little known today and contributes to shedding light on the musical heritage of southern Germany in the pre-classical period.

"Italian Sonatas 1730 — Remembering Naples & Venice"
Italian Baroque Sonatas: Works for Recorder & Harpsichord by Sieber, Sammartini, Ferronati, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Mancini
[incl. World Premiere Recordings]

Sabrina Frey, Recorder - Philippe Grisvard, Harpsichord


All of the present works have one thing in common: the sonatas were all composed within 30 years in Italy. The reduction to the interpretation of the baroque sonatas with only two instruments – flauto dolce (recorder) and harpsichord – creates a flexibility that is enchanting.
Sabrina Frey and Philippe Grisvard lead a colorful journey through the versatile flauto dolce repertoire of Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries. The «Neapolitan school», the «Venetian school» and Arcangelo Corelli‘s influences are represented as well as the «galant style».
Premiere recordings are heard alongside already known works whose manuscripts are scattered in libraries around the globe.

Hervé Joulain, Horn & Tatiana Chernichka, Piano
& special guests: Stéphane Logerot, Double Bass - Florent Jodelet and Emmanuel Curt, Percussion


"First of all, I want to express my pleasure and excitement regarding the conception of this program of pieces that can be performed as encores. The main idea was not so much to select titles from any particular instrumental category, but more to focus on works that have strong expressive power.
I hope this hour of music will remain close to your favorite recordings, not only because it features the horn! … but also a musical offering of sincerity, honesty, and genuine intensity. Wishing you immense listening pleasure, but awaiting you at live concerts!" Hervé Joulain

"Embracement _ Umfassung"
Works for Piano and Double Bass – "Blue Sound" from Classical to Jazz –
by Monk, De Paul, Kuhn, Henderson, Arlen, Young, Debussy, Bach, Wonder, Chaplin, Grever, Ellington, Carmichael, Gershwin, Röck, Pärt

Jan Roeck, Piano - Jakob Jaeger, Double Bass


Blue sound. Deep focus. Embracement.
This is wha awaits you with this recording. Not condensed or complex harmony – the sound characterizes our recording, borne by the spirit of internalization. The silence between the notes creates a connection.
Improvisation sometimes demands too much. We, on the other hand, long for simplicity: for a sound that expresses what is essential, a sound that goes inward and slows everything down.

Emile Jaques-Dalcroze: Works for Violoncello and Piano
--- World Premiere Recordings ---

Pi-Chin Chien, Violoncello - Bernhard Parz, Piano


Emile Jaques-Dalcroze was an extremely imaginative composer of great originality. Above all, the compositions for cello and piano deserve to be returned to concert practice.
Superbly recorded by the Duo Chien Parz, this CD offers a musical and tonal wealth of first recordings that should not be missed.

A Tender Memory of Thee
Lieder by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn
[incl. World Premiere Recordings]

Kateryna Kasper, Soprano - Dmitry Ablogin, Fortepiano


Kateryna Kasper and Dmitry Ablogin interpret these wonderful lieder partly in first recordings – absolutely worth listening to!
Some of the lieder on this CD start with a short prelude. These little improvisations came up spontaneously during the recordings and we later decided to keep some of them.

Ludwig van Beethoven:
Sonata for Piano and Violin A major Op. 47 ("Kreutzer"),
Bernd Alois Zimmermann:
Sonata for Violin and Piano (1950),
Johannes Brahms:
Sonata for Viola and Piano E flat major Op. 120/2

Duo MAISS YOU (Album Vol. 3):
Burkhard Maiss, Violin | Viola & Ji-Yeoun You, Piano


On this album, the Duo MAISS YOU presents two kindred masterpieces: Beethoven's "Kreutzer Sonata" and B. A. Zimmermann's 1950 Violin Sonata. These two works are interrelated in a whole variety of ways, not just through Zimmermann's preoccupation with Beethoven's chamber music. The Duo combines these two sonatas with Brahms' last chamber work, the Viola Sonata Op. 120/2. Composed in 1894, the Viola Sonata presents a stunning retrospective of the era of the great classical sonatas.

On September 02, the winners of the OPUS KLASSIK 2020 (formerly ECHO) were announced!

Ensemble Barockin': Kozue Sato, Flauto Traverso - Dmitry Lepekhov & Lena Kaidanovska, Baroque Violins - Pavel Serbin, Baroque Cello & Viola da Gamba - Felix Stross, Baroque Cello & Violoncello Piccolo - Francis Jacob, Harpsichord


"Nicht Bach, sondern Meer sollte er heißen." (L. v. Beethoven)
(Translator’s note: "It's not Bach he should be called, but Meer!" In German, this is a play on words: "Bach" means brook and "Meer" means sea.)
The "Musical Offering" collection of pieces, dedicated to the Prussian King, Frederick II, is a contrapuntal masterpiece, in which Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) seems to draw every conceivable facet from a single theme (Thema Regium – royal theme). It is a musical testament of the old master, full of freshness, creativity and original quality – like an endless sea.
With this recording, Ensemble Barockin' presents a musically careful and genuinely new interpretation.

Congratulations on this great success, it's a very fine appreciation for the artistic work/production.

Elisabeth Richter, Jury: "Frank Bridge, Jahrgang 1879, war der Lehrer von Benjamin Britten, er gilt zu Recht als einer der wichtigsten britischen Komponisten des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Seine sehr eigene, traditionsverbundene und auch visionäre Tonsprache, teils inspiriert von Debussy, aber auch von Schönberg und der zweiten Wiener Schule, setzt das Namirovsky-Lark-Pae Trio sensibel um – mit genauer Kenntnis der kompositorischen Mixtur, mit Klangfarbensinn, Durchsichtigkeit, aber auch zupackend. Qualitäten, die auch Brahms ungleich bekannterem Trio op. 8 zugute kommen. Zwei exzellent interpretierte Meisterwerke, die sich in ihrem stilistischen Kontrast prächtig ergänzen."

On the occasion of Telemann’s 250th anniversary of death in 2017 the City Music Foundation, London, has commissioned twelve contemporary pieces for Tabea Debus, each based on one of the Fantasias. All of these freshly-penned pieces are reflections on thematic, harmonic or rhythmic material taken from the Fantasias – a (re) interpretation of musical ideas, a reply to Telemann’s musical thoughts. Release from April/May 2018! [TXA18105]
