Castle Terraces In Barry Lyndon
Castle Terraces in Barry Lyndon is a spacious and quietly enigmatic work by composer and writer Zeynep Toraman. Created for instrumental ensemble, electronics and film, and written for Ensemble Contrechamps, the piece brings together clarinet, cello, violin, electric guitar and electronic textures with a subtly unfolding visual layer. What emerges is a world where sound and image lean gently toward one another, opening a listening space that feels both architectural and intimate.

Double String Trios
John McGuire’s Double String Trios brings together three substantial works for paired string trios composed between 2012 and 2021 and conducted by Axel Lindner. The project originated when Walter Zimmermann invited Bernd Härpfer of Initiative Musik und Informatik Köln – GIMIK e.V. to arrange a concert premiere marking McGuire’s 80th birthday.
McGuire’s musical language was forged in the electronic studios of postwar Cologne, shaped by studies with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Krzysztof Penderecki, …
Black Angels
On Black Angels, Kronos Quartet turns George Crumb’s Vietnam-era nightmare into the axis of a stark, haunted program, binding early music, American modernism and Shostakovich’s war-torn melancholy into one of the group’s darkest, most enduring statements.
Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass
On Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass, Kronos Quartet turns four string quartets into a self‑portrait of the composer, charting his path from theatre and film scores to music written directly for the group, all in a language of pulsed clarity and slowly deepening harmony.
Reich/Richter
On Reich/Richter, Steve Reich joins Ensemble Intercontemporain and conductor George Jackson for a single 37‑minute arc of pulsed colour, a chamber‑orchestral score conceived in dialogue with Gerhard Richter’s moving stripes, where pattern, blur, and return become musical form.
Runner - Music For Ensemble And Orchestra
On Runner / Music for Ensemble and Orchestra, Steve Reich joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and Susanna Mälkki for two late-period works that stretch his pulsed minimalism onto a large orchestral canvas, maintaining propulsive clarity while opening into shimmering, almost symphonic depth.

Given
"The piece given may be characterized as a certain activity, a special kind of practice. We practice as a trio (two players and one producer), hoping that anything might emerge: we gather to share a beautiful time together, exchanging our hopes and longings, our suffering, and our pain. Why should there be music at all? Faced with this question and considering the state of our world, artists could often find themselves drawn toward a sense of meaninglessness. But this is not the end. In the face…

Star Trail
In Star Trail, José Luis Hurtado sculpts a luminous universe of sound—music that resembles light itself: expanding, reflecting, distorting. Through multilayered “parametric counterpoint,” space triumphs over time, revealing textures that shimmer between structure and spontaneity. Each work—Electric Dust, The Untitled 3S, In the Space of Time, Mutual Gravity, and the title piece Star Trail—unfolds as a sound installation of infinite possibilities, where every gesture refracts into new meaning. Bo…
Sounds, Archaeologies
Sounds, Archaeologies brings together works by Isabel Mundry that understand listening as an active, participatory process. Arising from the experience of a transformed acoustic environment, the composer opens her music to a dialogue with history, material, and cultural grounding. In the title piece for basset horn, violoncello, and piano, Mundry excavates the “sediments of our musical history” – sound becomes an archaeological find linking past and present. Balancing reflection and intuition, s…
Naturstudium III
In Naturstudium III, Luis Tabuenca, together with Les Percussions de Strasbourg, explores the sonic worlds of the Baschet sound sculptures—resonant bodies of metal, glass, and wood that oscillate between instrument and architecture. From their dialogue emerges a new musical grammar and hybrid notation that seeks to capture the fleeting nature of these resonances. Recorded by Neu Records in immersive sound, Naturstudium III is more than documentation: it is a spatial experience of vibration, reve…
For 10 Musicians
Samuel Reinhard returns to elsewhere music with “For 10 Musicians,” a four-part ensemble piece recorded in 2025 at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.
Gorgeous nothings
Laura Cetilia's cello works evoke the sense of crossing the threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of a space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances conjure a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into a vast and profound world that is uniquely Cetilia's own. 'gorgeous nothings' is an album of three pieces composed by Cetilia, …
