Khatia Buniatishvili:
Labyrinth
 Very different from Buniatishvili's previous album (Schubert's last sonata and impromptus, 2019), "Labyrinth" is a diverse selection of easy listening, mostly meditative tracks that will perhaps appeal to an even broader audience. Favourite pieces spanning three centuries, from Bach, Vivaldi and Scarlatti to Pärt, Glass and Gainsbourg. Listen on NML >

Can Çakmur:
Liszt/Schubert - Schwanengesang
 Published twelve years after Schubert’s death, Liszt’s arrangement of Schwanengesang is very much his own work. Each transcription retains the meaning of Schubert's song very clearly, while also giving us a striking vision of Liszt’s understanding of it. This is Çakmur's second album - his last year début received top marks from magazines, and won him an International Classical Music Award (ICMA). Listen on NML >

Steven Graff:
John Carbon - Astro Dogs & Other Piano Works
 The composer John Carbon falls firmly in the post-modern camp, meaning that he fuses different styles from past eras with the present to create his own highly accessible and distinctive voice. His recent works have a strong lyrical and tonal tendency, along with an increasing interest in contrapuntal textures. This is Steven Graff's second compilation of Carbon's piano works.
