”More than a pleasant diversion, the revelation of a hidden side of Baroque vocal music. Superb voices, whose singing and diction dazzle.”

“STOP THE WAR (or it will...)”

Through his monumental piano cycle The Road, Frederic Rzewski reflects on humanity, struggle, and hope.
Originally written before the Gulf War in 2003, its message remains painfully relevant today.

Performed in full by pianist Daan Vandewalle, this nine-hour journey, a true novel for solo piano, blends storytelling, improvisation, and political reflection into one of the great landmarks of contemporary piano music.

NEW DIGITAL RELEASE SPIEGELUNGEN – Bach’s Musical Offering in dialogue with 𝑽𝒊𝒌𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒔 & 𝑰𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒀𝒖𝒏 is out now on your favorite platforms.
https://orcd.co/x5vlddp
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐧 brings together Bach’s Musical Offering, Viktor Kalabis’ Canonic Inventions, and Isang Yun’s Royal Theme in a striking dialogue across time and culture. At the heart lies the canon: for Bach, a demonstration of contrapuntal mastery; for Kalabis, a modern exploration of invention and expressive freedom; for Yun, a meditation shaped by Taoist philosophy and Korean sonorities, refracted through the European tradition. NeoBarock performs on period instruments, creating a vibrant sound world where intellectual rigor meets poetic resonance. By placing them in dialogue, NeoBarock invites listeners to hear timeless ideas mirrored and transformed, a resonance between past and present that illuminates both.
NeoBarock: Jan de Winne, transverse flute; Maren Ries, baroque violin, violin & baroque viola; Anne von Hoff, baroque violin & baroque viola; Nazar Kozhukhar, viola da gamba; Stanislav Gres, harpsichord.

Pianist 𝐃𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞 presents two important recordings of Frederic Rzewski’s music: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒂𝒅 and 𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒔.

The Road is a nine-hour piano cycle, combining storytelling, improvisation, and political reflection. Nanosonatas is a set of 56 short, brilliant pieces full of energy, humor, and thoughtful moments. Both albums reflect Vandewalle’s long collaboration with Rzewski and his deep understanding of the music.

Both albums are available on the Passacaille Records website and on all major streaming platforms.

Experience these works and hear Rzewski’s music performed by one of his closest collaborators.

The cover of our album 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒆 – 𝑨 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 1729 by, directed by Stefano Aresi, are The Purgatorio ad Arco and the “anime pezzentelle.”

The historical complex of Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco is located in the heart of Naples. Owned by a lay organisation founded in 1606, it includes an upper church, a lower church, a Holy Land space, a small museum, and an archive, and above all it is a place of an ancient and deeply rooted devotion to the souls in Purgatory. This devotion is officially expressed through masses and prayers offered to shorten the souls’ time in Purgatory. It also takes a popular, spontaneous form: the “adoption” by the faithful of a skull (capuzzella, “little head”), remains of unknown people who, according to belief, are waiting for the prayers of the living to help them reach Paradise.

The devotion to the souls in Purgatory (anime pezzentelle, “poor little ghostly wretches”) spread over the centuries beyond the churches themselves. Small shrines were dug into the walls of buildings along city streets, where the souls were represented in human form with little figurines made of terracotta and plaster, hands raised as if emerging from the flames, asking for help from passers-by.

One of the newest releases from Passacaille Records, Frederic Rzewski: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒂𝒅 by 𝐃𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞 features a cover that mirrors the journey of the music. The photo of a road reflects the expansive and unpredictable path of Rzewski’s epic piano cycle, capturing movement, reflection, and discovery, qualities that run through the entire album. The unblurred original image brings this vision to life, echoing the spirit of the music itself.
