'Sine nomine' (literally meaning 'without a name') was written for two soloists, a chorus and an orchestra for the 1922 Three Choirs Festival at the suggestion of Edward Elgar. In Farrington’s arrangement, this orchestral rhapsody transforms into a chamber work, achieving a new-found intimacy not encountered in the original.

The work represents a development in Howells's harmonic writing, but the influence of Tudor music remains strong in the flowing melodic lines reminiscent of Renaissance polyphony.

Ikon and David Hill's new album, 'Sine nomine & other secular choral works', is out now.

For many listeners, Herbert Howells's choral output will always be associated with his sizeable and significant contribution to the Anglican tradition, but his settings of secular texts should not be overlooked. This album, by Ikon and David Hill, offers a welcome introduction to these, including two works newly arranged for this recording by pianist Iain Farrington.

'Howells: Sine nomine & other secular choral works' is out now.

We're delighted to send a Happy Birthday to … us, in our 45th year!

1st October 2025 marks 45 years to the day since an advertisement appeared in Gramophone magazine.

'This month sees the introduction of a new label devoted to the presentation of fine, varied and interesting repertoire, engineered to the highest present-day standards, attractively presented and priced. The first six releases are listed below, and further titles will be issued regularly. We will not specialise … except in good records—and the repertoire will cover all fields and periods, from 'early' music to the present day'.

Now, over 2,000 recordings later, we'd like to send our very best wishes to the artists, producers and engineers who have worked with and supported us over the years, to all our colleagues in this industry, and, of course, to YOU, our loyal customers, without whom we would not be where we are today. Thank you! ♥️

Whether offering new and unexpected insights into the original works, or—given the pianistic pedigree associated with the genre—the opportunity to astonish the listener with displays of pyrotechnics, piano transcriptions work on various levels. The ballet suites recorded here by Andrey Gugnin amply deliver on all counts.

'Tchaikovsky & Stravinsky: Russian Ballet Suites' is out now.

"The music industry has long understood the power and allure of the medley; examples of it in both classical and popular realms are legion. Canadian composer John Oswald is very aware of this. He created one of the greatest and most unique medleys of all—a twenty-minute piece called 'Plexure' from 1993, in which hundreds upon hundreds of strands of existing pop and rock music are collaged and superimposed. And he reprises the idea in 'Tip'. It’s a real challenge for the listener, and also a monster of a mind scrambler, in the very best possible and positive way."—Marc-André Hamelin

Ireland's 'Greater love hath no man' was commissioned in 1912 for Charles Macpherson, the sub-organist of St Paul's Cathedral. The anthem rapidly gained currency in cathedrals and church choirs and, with the outbreak of war in 1914, its text gained a special resonance as the casualties from the front mounted. It's the first single from The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge's upcoming album, 'Let all the world in every corner sing'.

Stravinsky's 'Divertimento' is a twenty-minute orchestral suite fashioned from his 1928 ballet, 'The Fairy’s Kiss', and the violin suite, made with Dushkin in 1934, is more or less a straight transcription of this orchestral version. Here, Anthony Marwood and Det Norske Kammerorkester demonstrate mesmerising technique in the work's fourth movement, 'Pas de deux' 🧚
