We are sad to announce the death of Amelia Freedman CBE, founder and guiding light of The Nash Ensemble, chamber-music royalty on Hyperion for over 40 years.

While the relationship began under Ted Perry in the 1980s as a British series—works by Britten, Lambert, Bax, Bliss, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Bridge, Walton and beyond—it grew over time to encompass composers as diverse as Suk, Poulenc, Richard Strauss, Korngold, Clara and Robert Schumann and most recently Debussy. The Nash Ensemble have recorded 40 albums to date across the 40 years of our association.

Amelia was famed for her energy and passion for music across a wide-ranging career that included stints running classical music for the South Bank in London and artistically directing the Bath Mozartfest and Bachfest. For Harrison Birtwistle she and her Nash Ensemble have always been 'on the side of the angels'. He put it more strongly: 'There is no question they stand well over the line of good and are blessed with wings of gold.'

In 2012, pianist Pavel Kolesnikov became a sensation at the Honens International Piano Competition when he took home the world's largest piano prize. Here he is four years later at the Fazioli Concert Hall performing the descriptively headed third movement of Schumann's 'Fantasie in C', with its instruction to "keep quiet throughout" 🤫

"My dad wrote a "swan" for me, because I was learning the piano part to Saint-Saëns's "The Swan". And, later on, when I was a bit older, I decided to compose one to return the favour, for him. And they're the ones that we've recorded on this album."—Leif Kaner-Lidström
"But which one is the best one!?"—Mats Lidström

'Circumdederunt me' is probably one of the earliest surviving works by Morales, and here it forms the first single from De Profundis's second instalment in their 12-album survey of the complete Morales Masses and Magnificats, this time with Eamonn Dougan at the helm.

This lyrical Prelude in F minor, BWV857, is written in the style of an allemande and comes at the mid-point in Book 1 of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier. Here, Mahan Esfahani, Harpsichordist plays on a double-manual German harpsichord built by Huw Saunders, the instrument being a modern-day copy of an instrument that is thought to have belonged to Bach himself.

Out now, the first single from Andrey Gugnin's upcoming new album of four iconic ballet suites by Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky: Pletnev’s 'Sleeping Beauty' Concert Suite dates back to 1978 like his 'Nutcracker' transcription, but takes a freer approach to the original score. The 'Andante' is taken from the Act 2 'Pas d'action' in the original ballet, in which Prince Désiré dances with a vision of Aurore.
