CDM-3002 CDM 3002-2 Karin Rehnqvist – Live
En konsert är alltid något speciellt. När mångas öron och koncentration riktas mot samma källa uppstår en särskild laddning. Musikerna satsar, det gäller att vässa uttrycket, för man kan inte ta om.
Här och nu uppstår musiken.




CDA-1681 CDA 1681-2 Stephan Siegenthaler: Kaminski - Chamber music for clarinet
Heinrich Kaminski was well known, even famous during his lifetime, but today he appears to be nearly forgotten. However, it seems that slowly a rediscovery of this remarkable individualist is taking place...




CDA-1682 CDA 1682-2 Torsten Mossberg: You held me dear
Under 1800-talet fanns begränsade möjligheter att få uppleva klingande musik. Utom i kyrkorna var det således i hemmen och i de borgerliga salongerna som man fick tillfället att framföra och lyssna till musik. Ofta skedde det i form av piano och sång och ibland som pianotranskribtioner av operor och andra större musikverk för två eller fyra händer...

CDS-1098 CDS 1098-2 Joachim Raff - De Profundis

CDS-1097 CDS 1097-2 Heinrich Hofmann: Eine Schauspiels-Overtüre
Heinrich Karl Johann Hofmann started of as a boy soparano, continued as a concert pianist and made his debut as a opera composer at the age of 27. Being a mixed success it enabled him to concetrate on composing and managed to write quite a large production in the following 30 years. The bulk part is vocal music, kantatas, lieder and choral works and a few chamber works and orchestral pieces...

CDA-1679 CDA 1679-2 Lisa Gustafsson: Bo Linde - Anna's Tales, Fourteen Songs of Spring
Bo Linde was one of the most productive Swedish composers when solo songs was concerned. He wrote no less than 127 solo songs, which are performed far too seldom. On reason is perhaps the often difficult keys and demanding pitches...

CDA-1680 CDA 1680-2 Maria Kihlgren, piano: Romantic silhouettes
This CD has been planned as a cross-section through the Romantic age and commences with Robert Schumann Abegg Variations, a work of his youth filled with youthfull freshness and gaiety. Then we have the 'Paganini of the Piano' Franz Liszt, who...

By the 1880s it was fairly evident that Klughardt had drifted away from any appreciable stylistic indebtedness to the waning aesthetics and musical practices of the New German school...

CDA1677" CDA 1677-2 Rare repertoire for Clarinet and Piano
Stephan Siegenthaler, clarinet - Konstantin Lifschitz, piano
The relativly small amount of classical and romantic music available for clarinet and piano as compared with the repertoire of, for instance, violin and piano, motivates clarinet players to continously search for more literature....

New release for December, 2011
CDA1676 CDA 1676-2 Silver Tunes - Music for flute and organ
Elivi Varga, flute - Olle Långström, organ.
I wanted to have a variety of works on this recording, including works by women, and to explore some lesser-known repertoire. Most of the works are by American, Swedish and French composers, and they range from Hildegard´s O eterne Deus from the 12th century to Lowell Liebermann´s Air from 2009.
Besides the Gluck, Claude Debussy´s Syrinx is the only real standard flute repertiore work on this recording. It´s a work that´s very close to me, so even though it´s probably over-played these days, I really wanted to include it here. ....
