Cave times were repeatedly triggered in prehistory by climatic catastrophes that occurred unexpectedly and forced a greatly reduced population of Homo sapiens into retreat areas. Caving expertise, as it is called today, ensured that mankind was able to survive despite drastic changes in lifestyle and longer periods of cave use. On the basis of his scientific research, university professor and communication researcher Jürgen Grimm developed 52 exercises to increase this cave competence, which can be experienced here in the form of a total work of art. Set to the timeless, genre-bending music of Norwegian pianist and composer Håvard Enstad, the retreats are recited by renowned actor and speaker Till Firit. The exercise sentences, read out like a mantra, which are also influenced by the work of the performance artist Joseph Beuys and the experiences of the later founder of the Jesuit order, Ignatius von Loyola, are intended to help to promote the crisis resilience that has been built up in us since primeval times, and to a return to the cave days which, rightly understood, is also the future.

When Juraj Stanik asks you to write something for the sleeve of his new recording, you certainly don’t say ‘no’. In my case, bolstered by years of experience of his work, from the outstanding group ‘Five Up High’ through to his trio CDs like ‘Shaken not stirred’, ‘Wow’ and ‘Inside out’. It always was and still remains a great pleasure to listen to Juraj. His playfulness with musical forms, his unexpected, funny but always controlled fantasies and that consistent, unmissable swing with his colleagues on bass and drums, all following the same groove. Jazz that I always regarded as a sort of homecoming.

As a pianist growing up in Shanghai, Junyan Chen played a significant amount of works by Chinese composers, which led her to strongly identify with living composers who explored their cultural identity through music. The four composers presented here brilliantly absorb other genres and art forms, reflecting their lives: the Turkish folk ballad, jazz, Russian poetry and African dance. Fazil Say’s Black Earth and Eleanor Alberga’s It’s Time both draw on their heritage, weaving together improvisation and complex rhythms. Sofia Gubaidulina’s mighty Piano Sonata is brimming with jazz and Russian Orthodox music. Unsuk Chin’s Piano Etude No. 5 is characterized with colourful and imaginative harmony using the overtone series, whole-tone collections and extremely complex rhythmic writing. Junyan Chen is one of the exceptional artists, including Liam Bonthrone, Charlie Lovell-Jones, Aidan Mikdad and Edvard Pogossian, who are the recipients of the Academy’s Bicentenary Scholarships scheme for 2021/22.

Voice, trumpet and piano – it’s most unusual to find these three together in a song cycle. The composer and pianist Frédéric Chaslin delivers here the first chamber work ever written for such a combination. Inspired by poems written by Jean Cocteau, Boris Vian and Alain Duault, he explores, in six original pieces, the various styles in which the trumpet enjoyed prominence in the twentieth century: jazz, ragtime, tango…

The Jubilee Quartet follow their critically acclaimed debut album of Haydn (RCD1039) with two contrasting quartets by Schubert. The sunny and joyful D.87, his 10th quartet dates from his 16th year. Already the singing quality of the writing is apparent. The late G Major quartet, the composer’s 15th and final quartet dates from 1826. The emotions here are extreme – dramatic, violent, painful, menacing, introverted and innocent. Written on a large scale, this work is a groundbreaking masterpiece that stands shoulder to shoulder with the late Beethoven quartets.
