Auf den ersten Blick scheint die jüngste Produktion aus dem Hause PASCHENrecords aus dem omnipräsenten Repertoire gestaltet, dem man seit Jahrzehnten in der Sparte »Trompete und Orgel« begegnet. Das Programm jedoch, das die Brüder Daniel und Simon Reichert eingespielt haben, ist völlig anders konzipiert: Den Schwerpunkt bildet eine Reihe von Wettbewerbsstücken, die im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert für die Concours des Pariser Conservatoire geschrieben wurden – und zwar nicht für die Trompete, sondern für das französische »Cornet à pistons« (Ventil-Kornett), das an dem äußerst anspruchsvollen Lehrinstitut bis heute unterrichtet wird. Zu diesem gesellt sich nicht zufällig die Orgel der evangelischen Stadtkirche Gronau. Dieses 1904 gebaute Instrument stammt aus der Werkstatt von Wilhelm Sauer, der unter anderem bei Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, dem berühmten Meister der symphonischen Orgel, gelernt hatte und vieles von seinem »Lehrstoff« beherzigte, als er seine mächtigen Register zog, mit denen sich das 1890 von der französischen Firma Besson gebaute Kornett auf geradezu ideale Weise verbindet – ob sich die Komponisten der »Morceaux de concours« nun von ihrer poetisch-lyrischen oder dramatisch-virtuosen Seite zeigten. Mit Solostücken von Charles-Marie Widor und Maurice Duruflé gliedert Simon Reichert die konkurrenzlose Werkfolge, in der ferner die Namen des Schweizers Henri Büsser und des Bretonen Guy Ropartz einen besonders prominenten Platz einnehmen.

When I first heard Beethoven’s Sonata No. 15 in D Major, op. 28, the “Pastoral”, it immediately conquered my heart. The swaying, deeply resounding, velvety bass notes and the tender theme in the right hand continue to produce a melodious sense of well-being in me to this day. A series of slow, melodious arches alternating with incisive, characteristic insertions create the general mood in the first movement.

“Heimat” is a specifically German term that has no hundred percent equivalent in most other languages. On his 18th solo album, tenor Daniel Behle – together with german hornsound – has made a foray through music and cultural history. 29 arrangements, almost exclusively by Alexander Krampe, are united on the extensive double album; in addition, the famous German actor Mario Adorf has read ten texts on the subject.

Claudio Arrau (1903-1991) is a pianist fully deserving of the epithet ‘legendary’. His rigorous intellect and sense of the sublime found expression in his transcendent technique and sumptuous, yet lucid sonorities. The recordings in this 24CD collection, a significant portion of Arrau’s legacy from the years between 1921 and 1962, are indispensable to his extensive discography. They can now be heard in their full glory, thanks to a process of restoration and HD remastering using the original tapes (for recordings from the LP era) or the best available source (for 78s). Among them are four world premiere releases: Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30, op. 109, a Chopin étude, and two pieces by Liszt.

Warner now issues the 1957 recordings of the last sonatas, including a previously unreleased version of the thirtieth sonata!

Cellist/composer Clarice Jensen returns with her third album, ‘Esthesis’, a deep and gorgeous new work conceptually structured around the emotional and harmonic spectrum and the phenomenon of chromesthesia – a condition whereby sound involuntarily evokes an experience of color, shape and movement. Following up her critically-acclaimed 2020 album ‘The experience of repetition as death’ (a record almost presciently timed to arrive as Covid first hit), ‘Esthesis’ sees Jensen expanding her oeuvre, introducing a wider instrumental range, and reflecting on the effects of isolation. Recorded by Jensen in upstate NY and expertly mixed by Francesco Donadello, the record was mastered by Matthew Agoglia and is released on October 21st, ahead of a UK/EU tour supporting 130701 alumni Dustin O’Halloran.

Christoph Irniger and a big band? Actually, one associates the saxophonist more with more manageable formats. As seen in bands such as Pilgrim, Cowboys from Hell, Noir, Counterpoints or the Christoph Irniger Trio, he prefers smaller formations, from trio to quintet, in which he brings out every voice, intention and interaction in full balance. All the more surprising now is the compactness and density he achieves in his orchestral debut, The Music of Pilgrim. The title may be confusing at first, because – although it is music by and for Pilgrim – it is not a Pilgrim album. But more about that later.

Christina Raphaëlle Haldane is thrilled to present Tu me voyais, her first record on Leaf Music set to be released on October 21, 2022. Tu me voyais is the result of the collaboration between Christina Raphaëlle Haldane and Carl Philippe Gionet, along with several other artists, writers, and composers who have contributed their own offerings. This album is anchored around Gionet’s new arrangements of Twelve Acadian Folk Songs, tailored for Haldane’s voice. These re-imaginings are set in the 19th century lieder aesthetic or art song where voice and piano play equal solo parts within the musical architecture.

LIVE IN CUXHAVEN 1976 is the third in a series of Can live concerts available in full for the first time on vinyl, CD and digital formats and is set to be released October 14. Originally recorded on tape, these carefully restored live albums will comprise the entirety of each show in the format of a story with a beginning, middle and end, with Can’s performances taking on a life of their own. The band’s line up for this legendary 1976 performance features all four original members— Irmin Schmidt on keys, Jaki Leibezeit on drums, Michel Karoli on guitar, and Holger Czukay on bass. Can’s powerful influence has never diminished, and their indelible mark is apparent in the bands who freely acknowledge their importance – from Portishead, James Murphy, Sonic Youth, New Order, Factory Floor, Public Image Ltd, Mogwai, Madlib and Radiohead – as well as across other disciplines such as visual art and literature.

Bruce Hornsby’s hardest-rocking album, A Night on the Town announces that he is heading into a different direction in its first few notes. John Mellencamp’s producer Don Gehman gives the sound, especially John Molo’s drums, a feel reminiscent of Mellencamp’s best work. The material here is among Hornsby’s best, and guest players include Jerry Garcia, tenor saxman Wayne Shorter, banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, vocalist Shawn Colvin (before she was known), and jazz bass legend Charlie Haden. The arrangements still include the mix of synthesized and real percussion, and the trademark piano licks are sprinkled abundantly throughout, but the overall feel is much more rock & roll than anything before or since. The songs are great, with a political edge to “Fire on the Cross” and “Barren Ground.” The latter features Garcia’s lead guitar, the former a fine Shorter sax solo. “Stander on the Mountain” is a perceptive reflection on a former BMOC, straight out of Hornsby’s own attendance at a high school reunion, and “Lost Soul” is one of the most profound ballads he has composed, sung as a duet with Colvin. The single, “Across the River,” is a powerful look at the pursuit of one’s dreams in the face of local naysayers, and the subsequent return to one’s hometown with the resultant “I-told-you-so’s.” With A Night on the Town, Bruce Hornsby achieves a mix of mostly up-tempo rock music, adult lyrical themes, and crisp production values that has seldom been matched by other popular musicians of his generation. Though it only peaked at number 20 (his first two albums had reached the Top Five), it is an artistic high point.
