Following on acclaimed releases of Bellérophon, Phaéton and Amadis, Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques continue their revival of Lully's tragédies lyriques with Armide. His last collaboration with librettist Philippe Quinault, it is based on Torquato Tasso's poem "La Gerusalemme liberata." It tells the story of enchantress Armide's unhappy love for the knight Renaud. The pinnacle of the tragédie lyrique form in both book and composition, it includes Armide's famous monologue "Enfin, il est en ma puissance," considered a model of French recitative. Premiering in February 1686, this masterpiece, would be crowned with lasting success.

World-class musicians Paolo Giacometti, Candida Thompson and Xenia Jankovic joined forces in 2011 as the Hamlet Piano Trio.

On their new release, the group focuses on Beethoven. His Piano Trios No.5 & 6, Op.70, published in 1809, were dedicated to Countess Marie von Erdödy and were composed during a stay at her estate. The Piano Trio No.11 Op.121a was based on the theme "Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu" by Wenzel Müller. It was the last of Beethoven's published trios.

First prize winner at the 2006 Leipzig International Bach Competition, harpsichordist Francesco Corti explores the sonatas of pre-Revolutionary Haydn. These works, in a class with Scarlatti and C.P.E. Bach, were influenced by the counterpoint of Johann Joseph Fux. The sense of freedom that Corti expresses serves the musicality of these masterpieces of keyboard music perfectly.

"In Upper Austria, I find my compositions everywhere, especially in the monasteries of Sankt Florian and Kremsmünster, where with the help of a decent pianist I performed my four-hand variations and marches with great success." So wrote Franz Schubert in 1825, referring to the popular nineteenth-century genre that publishers were always after him to produce. This collection of music for four hands featuring Andreas Staier and Alexander Melnikov playing a period fortepiano includes the powerful Fantasie in F minor, one of the tragic masterpieces of Schubert's last year.

Ravel's Daphnis and Chloé was conceived as a ballet in one act and three parts. It tells the story of the love between the shepherd Daphnis and the shepherdess Chloe through one warlike tableau framed by two pastoral ones. The orchestral forces are the largest Ravel ever employed and he added to that a mixed chorus. Making his harmonia mundi début, FrançoisXavier Roth has gone through Ravel's much-amended score with a finetoothed comb. He leads the musicians of Les Siècles in a 'historically informed' performance that reproduces all the original transparency and stylistic precision of this impressionist masterpiece.

Schubert's Piano Sonata D664 showcases the fine craftsmanship of a composer still writing in the shadow of Beethoven. Nine years later, at just thirty-one years old, he produced what was to be his last sonata, D960, just a few weeks before his shockingly premature death. Less than ten years separates these two works, and it would take many decades for these masterpieces to gain the notoriety of Mozart's late symphonies or Beethoven's Op.132. This music is now cherished by today’s artists, among them pianist Javier Perianes, whose previous volume of Schubert works for harmonia mundi won over both audiences and critics.

He now turns his attention to a handful of gems lovingly fashioned by Schumann, either in the year of his marriage (1840) or in his darker Düsseldorf period (1849-52). This anthology traverses an entire world - from the fragrant flowers of Myrthen to the nocturnal atmosphere of the Six Poems and Requiem.

For his biographer Philipp Spitta, Bach's period as organist and later Konzertmeister to the Duke of Weimar (1708-17) revealed his "early mastery." Whether for the court chapel or for a joyful wedding celebration, nowhere is this more evident than in the small but highly distinguished body of cantatas he composed during this time. From the ravishing duets for soprano and oboe of BWV202 to the penitential strains of BWV199, the radiant voice of Carolyn Sampson and the virtuosos of the Freiburger Barockorchester do full justice to the composer's infinite variety.

Supported by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under Christoph Poppen, French pianist Jean-Claude Pennetier performs two piano concertos that highlight the authenticity of Mozart’s gift perfectly. The tenderness and fire of the Piano Concerto No.21 mirrors the anguish and inner intensity of the Piano Concerto No.24. These two pieces are close to perfect and prove, as famed novelist and critic François Mauriac put it, that, "As long as men inhabit the earth, just a few bars of Mozart can remind us of the paradise we lost, a paradise that may still exist as long as we can hear the echoes of its laughter and tears in such divine music."

In the 1990s, Philip Glass composed a ballet for the Brazilian Grupo Corpo entitled "Seven or Eight Pieces for a Ballet." That music was picked up by the famous percussion group Uakti and later recorded for the album Aguas da Amazonia. It became the launching point and inspiration for arranger Charles Coleman, who worked with conductor Kristjan Järvi on adapting Glass's music for large symphony orchestra. On this new recording, Järvi leads the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the dynamic Absolute Ensemble in a performance that captures Coleman's orchestration in all its majesty and showcases the music's inherent symphonic possibilities.

Demolition 9 is New York electronic music pioneer Martin Rev’s ninth solo album, and first new material since 2009. Comprised of 34 wildly divergent vignettes – only one of which reaches three minutes in length – he describes it as autobiographical "yearning for joy and the unattainable perfection of the artistic ideal." The record spans a lifetime’s worth of moods and musings, encompassing fragments of Rev’s varied passions accrued across his nearly half-century long career. From violent percussion experiments to neo-classical reveries to noir-sleaze abstractions and beyond, Demolition 9 offers a radically non-linear spelunk through the dreams and distractions of one of the 20th century’s most influential sonic iconoclasts. In the words of legendary producer and musician Craig Leon, whose revived imprint Atlas Réalisations presents this special album, "The recording provides us with a unique glimpse into the artistic mindset of this unique musician."
