Konstantin Reinfeld and Benyamin Nuss turn harmonica and piano into equal partners in an exciting musical conversation. Together with the Detmolder Kammerorchester, they continue to explore the unusual sound world of their upcoming album "ELEVATION".

Their third single, "Courageous Courante", comes from Wolf Kerschek's "Orchestral Suite for Harmonica, Piano and Chamber Orchestra". Taking the baroque dance as a point of departure, Kerschek brings it into a vivid contemporary setting full of rhythmic drive, colour and playful interaction.

"Courageous Courante" is out now. "ELEVATION" follows on September 25: https://BC.lnk.to/elevationFA

Max Volbers and Il Pomo d'Oro reveal a more introspective side of Telemann with "Triste", the opening movement of his "Sonata in F Minor, TWV 41:f1". Originally published in 1728/29 for bassoon and continuo, Telemann himself noted that the work could also be performed on recorder, giving Volbers' interpretation a direct connection to the composer's own intentions.

The new single is part of the upcoming album "Wunderkammer: Mr. Telemann's Cabinet of Curiosities", which explores the remarkable variety, imagination and expressive range of Telemann's music.

Céline Moinet, the Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen and Reinhard Goebel bring Franz Xaver Richter's oboe music into focus while exploring a rarely heard corner of 18th-century repertoire. "Concert Pour Paris" draws together works from different European traditions and places the oboe at the centre as an instrument of remarkable expressive range. The third single presents the final Allegro from Richter's "Oboe Concerto in G Minor". Conceived as a delicate "Concerto da Camera" for a more intimate orchestral setting, the work adds a transparent, chamber-focused dimension to the programme.

Five members of Salaputia Brass come together as the "Salaputia Brass Quintet" for a new digital EP, opening the project with a piece based on a rather unexpected source of inspiration: the musical theme of Cologne Bonn Airport 🛫

In "Ouvertüre über ein Thema des Flughafens Köln/Bonn", composer Peter Döringhaus takes this familiar motif and transforms it into a warm, expansive brass overture. In the hands of Salaputia Brass, it becomes the starting point for a new chamber-music setting with its own character and energy.
The first single is out now: https://bc.lnk.to/salaputiabrassquintetFA

Lili Boulanger's "Nocturne" fits directly into the central idea of Anouchka and Katharina Hack's upcoming album "DNA": musical language being passed on, transformed and developed within artist families. On the album, the piece is part of a small Boulanger family constellation. Lili's "Nocturne" is paired with Nadia Boulanger's "Cantique" and their father Ernest Boulanger's lesser-known "Bonjour mon coeur". All three works are in F major, which gives them an almost suite-like connection, while also revealing how differently the generations expressed themselves musically. For Anouchka & Katharina Hack - Cello & Piano, this family connection reflects one of the key themes of "DNA": how inspiration, artistic heritage and individual expression interact across generations.

With kind support of the Wilo-Foundation.

"Vivaldi Bassoon Concerti III" is out now: Sophie Dervaux - Dartigalongue continues her ambitious recording project of Antonio Vivaldi’s complete bassoon concertos, performed together with La Folia Barockorchester.
No composer devoted himself to the bassoon as extensively as Vivaldi, who wrote 37 complete virtuoso solo concertos for the instrument. With this third album, Dervaux reaches the halfway point of her journey through this extraordinary repertoire.
The album brings together concertos of strikingly different character: from energetic virtuosity and harmonic surprises to elegant dance-like forms, unusual instrumentation, shadowy timbres, and expressive melancholy. For Dervaux, the diversity of these works is what makes the project so compelling: an old, new, familiar, and at the same time unknown repertoire that never stops revealing fresh details. �The new album is available now on CD and digitally: Link
