Andrey Denisenko:
Per aspera ad astra – Bach, Brahms, Schumann



Andrey Denisenko has chosen works born out of misery for his new album: "They arose from an inner struggle of the composer, from overcoming challenging life situations... Through music, the artists have arrived at a different state of being. They have transformed suffering, transcended it and put it into a new form, poured it into the triumph of music, and thus rendered it comprehensible for many."

Simon Callaghan & Hiroaki Takenouchi:
Danza Gaya – Music for Two Pianos



This CD brings together three prolific but little-known British composers: Dorothy Howell, Pamela Harrison, and Madeleine Dring. All three had dual careers as composer-performers, and wrote tonal music in a style that would fall out of fashion in the later twentieth century. Above all, they composed with a great sense of humour. The music on this disc sparkles with wit, energy and theatricality.
