Helmuth Rilling's recordings of numerous large oratorios during the past few decades have become the standard reference. Not the least because of the work of his long-time ensemble and the many outstanding singers. Above all, his inspiring Haydn recordings belong to Rilling's most spirited interpretations.The two great oratorios of Haydn's late period "The Creation" and "The Seasons" are among the most impressive works in all of music history. In them, the composer explored the fundamental conditions of human existence and set them convincingly to music. "The Creation" was completed in 1798 and performed in March of the following year for the first time in Vienna. It quickly spread throughout Europe and is still one of Haydn's most successful pieces.

It was in October 1853 that the 20-year-old Johannes Brahms completed his Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, while staying with Robert and Clara Schumann in Düsseldorf. The work had occupied him for some months – at least since the summer of the same year, when he had encountered Franz Liszt, and had heard his recently completed B minor Sonata. Strictly speaking, he may only have heard parts of it: according to some reports, Brahms fell asleep during the performance… It is tempting to see the younger man’s sonata as a response to Liszt’s work, but whatever the case may be, its heroic scale, unconventional layout and high quality made it one of the most impressive sonatas since those of Beethoven and Schubert. Significantly, Brahms never wrote another piano sonata, as if he had said as much as he wanted to say in that genre. Instead he would go on to compose in more concentrated formats, but he also wrote a series of large-scale sets of variations, among which the Handel Variations must be considered his crowning achievement. Completed in September 1861 and dedicated to Clara Schumann, the work shows Brahms at the height of his powers, confirming his position as the preeminent preserver and representative of tradition. In fact even Wagner saw its significance when Brahms played it to him, commenting that it showed what could still be done with the old forms by someone who knew how to use them. Performing these landmarks in the19th-century literature for solo piano is the British pianist Jonathan Plowright, hailed in Gramophone as ‘one of the finest living pianists’, and here making his début on BIS.
Christian Thielemann conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden in this performance of Bruckner's unfinished Symphony No. 9, featuring the three completed movements. The performance was recorded in 2015 at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.
This double CD centers around securely attributed music Josquin Desprez probably wrote in Rome, but contextualizes these pieces by presenting world-premiere recordings of nine works by his contemporaries: Gaspar van Weerbeke, Bertrandus Vaqueras, and above all Marbrianus de Orto, all singers in the choir of the Cappella Sistina at the end of the 15th century. Completed in 1482, the Sistine Chapel was the epicenter of papal ceremony and thus a powerhouse musical institution.
