New Piano Albums

Tiffany Poon:2025-12-06

Nature

Inspired by Rameau’s belief that music is rooted in nature, Poon’s new album translates her own love of nature into “vivid musical expressions” through works by French composers across the centuries. "I wanted to embrace that spontaneous feeling and the nuances of nature, as vivid as the French painters who have inspired composers and myself. Let’s celebrate nature.”

Yoav Levanon:2025-12-03

Liszt – Transcendental Etudes

"This project was never about virtuosity for its own sake. Instead, it is about what that virtuosity allows us to uncover. The deeper I went, the more I recognised the Etudes’ extraordinary expressive range…Each piece being a universe of its own, these works speak in multiple voices, as though written in several languages at once – layered, complex and endlessly revealing."

Ophelia Gordon:2025-11-30

Kapustin – Between the Lines

"Classical pianists don't often play jazz. And jazz pianists don't usually stick to the score. Kapustin ignored both rules – and I'm glad he did," says Ophelia Gordon about the composer she has dedicated all her recent concerts to. "His music sits beautifully in the space between genres. It speaks directly to jazz musicians through its harmony and rhythm, and to classical musicians through its texture and form."

Anna Fedorova:2025-11-27

Liberté – Ravel, Gershwin, Tailleferre, Skoryk

Anna Fedorova's album Liberté pays tribute to French and American composers whose work has transcended genres and borders. The influence of jazz plays a central role, symbolizing the fight for freedom, equality, and resistance. "Today, with the world in turmoil, the idea of freedom – whether speech, life choices, or national peace – feels more relevant than ever."

David Fray:2025-11-24

Baroque Encores

David Fray created the show L’Enfant oublié (The Forgotten Child, 2023) with his wife, the actress and director Chiara Muti. Chiara recites her own text while David plays a selection of short 18th-century pieces at the piano. The selection of pieces on this new album flows partly from this repertoire and is a kind of personal reimagining of the show.

Nathalia Milstein:2025-11-21

Alla Schumann

Tchaikovsky was a great admirer of Robert Schumann. "At soirées among friends at Peterhof, Tchaikovsky sat at the piano and invariably played Schumann," writes Nathalia Milstein in the liner notes to her new album, which explores the connections between the two composers by juxtaposing Tchaikovsky's Six Pieces op. 19 with Schumann's great Fantasy op. 17.

Saskia Giorgini:2025-11-19

Mozart & Shostakovich

Saskia Giorgini moves between Mozart's serene Concerto No. 12 and the circus acrobatics of Shostakovich’s concerto for Piano, trumpet, and string orchestra, ending in tragedy with Shostakovich's second Piano Sonata; music written “with his own blood”. Giorgini sees music as the most powerful means of communication, something that can nurture our empathy — "and perhaps make us feel less alone."

Rebeca Omordia:2025-11-09

John Ireland – Piano Works

Martin Helmchen:2025-11-06

Schubert – Piano Sonatas, Vol. 1

Martin Helmchen was in his late teens when he approached a Schubert piano sonata for the first time: the friendly and melodious Sonata in A major D. 664. “I got into Schubert’s music relatively late — but was immediately completely blown away… I thought it would be nice to have the sonata that revealed Schubert to me on the first set of my complete recording."

Lang Lang:2025-11-02

Piano Book 2

"Ever since Piano Book was released, I’ve been touched by the messages I’ve received from students, teachers, amateur pianists, and piano lovers around the world… With Piano Book 2, I want to present more music that speaks to everyone who loves the piano – whether you’re just beginning, returning after many years, or simply playing for the joy of it."

Florian Krumpöck:2025-10-29

Schumann – Between Eusebius and Florestan

The son of a cellist and an art historian, Florian Krumpöck counted Rudolf Buchbinder, Gerhard Oppitz, and Elisabeth Leonskaja amongst his teachers at an early age. Eventually, he began to work increasingly on conducting, upon the advice of another mentor, Daniel Barenboim. Nevertheless, he still appears regularly as a pianist in major concert halls.

Daniil Trifonov:2025-10-21

Tchaikovsky

This album features Tchaikovsky's bravura, four-movement Sonata op. 80, the Schumann-style Album for the Young, the rarely played 6 Morceaux in the form of Theme and Variations, and Mikhail Pletnev's arrangement of The Sleeping Beauty. According to Trifonov, these works present "a thoughtful, caring side of Tchaikovsky’s personality. We can imagine him sitting by a warm fire, lost in reminiscence."

Sophia Liu:2025-10-18

Chopin & Liszt

Born in Shanghai in 2008, the young Canadian pianist Sophia Liu is a student of Dang Thai Son, who won the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw 1980. "I am ecstatic to be able to dedicate this album to two of the greatest virtuosos and visionaries of the Romantic era … what speaks to me above all is their almost indescribable power of transporting us to an otherworldly reality".

Shorena Tsintsabadze:2025-10-14

Baroque Beyond

Shorena Tsintsabadze's early releases had a clear emphasis on music from the Romantic era. Then, in 2024, she released an album with with only Georgian music from the 19th and 20th centuries. Her new album represents another shift of focus: here, a selection of baroque pieces by Bach, Scarlatti, Couperin, Rameau and others lead up to Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme by Corelli.

Eric Zuber & Boris Slutsky:2025-10-10

Rachmaninoff for Two – Suites & Symphonic Dances

These two pianists have a longstanding relationship: Zuber became Slutsky's student at age 11 and studied with him for about 20 years. “Few things are more gratifying for a teacher than watching a young person grow and develop… Even more rewarding is seeing that student become a master of his craft, a dear friend and colleague, and someone who shares the same musical values."

Rodolphe Menguy:2025-10-07

A Fairy Tale – A travers le miroir

Stories and tales have always held great importance for Rodolphe Menguy. "This disk explores all this, my joys, my fears, my sorrows, my dreams, my games. It is, I hope, the image of an escape, a journey, which I am inviting you to take, letting your spirit and your own feelings wander at will along the path offered by these pieces from a dreamy repertoire."

Ekaterina Litvintseva:2025-10-03

Iconic Ballet Music for Piano – Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Prokofiev

As a small child, Ekaterina Litvintseva loved going to the ballet – she was captivated by the bright decorations and costumes, the graceful movements of the dancers, and the emotions expressed through dance. "The idea of recording an album with ballet music arranged for piano came to me completely spontaneously, and I immediately threw myself into this new repertoire with great enthusiasm."

Andrew Yiangou:2025-10-01

Alkan – Le Petit Concert

Andrew Yiangou’s Le Petit Concert is a view into the musical world of the enigmatic 19th-century composer Charles-Valentin Alkan. The centre piece in the programme is the misleadingly titled 'Sonatina' in A minor, Op.61, actually a large-scale sonata of huge technical challenges, described by Sorabji as ‘vehement, droll, gargoyle-like, childlike and naïve in turn – almost as though Berlioz had written a Beethoven sonata’.

Luis Fernando Pérez:2025-09-27

Encores

As a boy, Luis Fernando Pérez shared a yearning with his father for familiarity with the piano repertoire. They listened together to great pianists, developing a taste for the bonuses, the encores, from the artist’s personal, intimate universe. Now he presents a choice collection of short works, compiled with so much love over many years. Aiming for an authentic and spontaneous recording, the pieces were played through only once.

Yunchan Lim:2025-09-24

Tchaikovsky – The Seasons

Yunchan Lim became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022 at the age of 18, and experienced a meteoric rise to worldwide fame. On his new album, he presents one of Tchaikovsky's most intimate piano works, The Seasons, recorded live. Lim views the twelve pieces not just in the classical series of months, but as a story describing the last year of a person's life.
