Priest, scholar, mystic, singer, organist and composer - six persons all rolled into one. That is, quite simply, why Victoria is the most outstanding composer of the Renaissance. Although he began and ended his life in Spain, Victoria spent most of his working years in Rome, soaking up the great tradition of polyphonic writing and immaculate counterpoint but always preserving his Iberian roots and bringing to his music a richness of texture and a perfect sense of line. Five years ago, Harry Christophers and The Sixteen recorded a brand new version of Victoria’s Requiem and toured it to sold-out venues across the UK. The ensemble will continue its exploration of the music of this great Spanish composer in 2011 bringing his unique sound to ever wider audiences. To mark the 400th anniversary of his death, a brand new recording of works by Victoria will be released in February. On this recording, The Sixteen explores some of the sumptuous music Victoria wrote in honour of the Virgin Mary. Whilst his glorious Missa Alma Redemptoris Mater forms the central part of the disc, it is the intensely beautiful Marian motets which define Victoria as the greatest composer of the Renaissance.

Hagar’s Song , najnowszy album Charlesa Loyda to porywający duet z Jasonem Moranem, pianistą, który wystąpił na szeregu wcześniejszych płyt Lloyda, m.in. Rabo de Nube (2008), Mirror (2010) and Athen’s Concert (2012). Album zawiera kompozycje szczególnie bliskie Lloydowi, takich twórców jak: Billy Strayhorn (Pretty Girl znana też pod nazwą Star-Crossed Lovers), Duke Ellington (Mood Indigo), George Gershwin (Bess, You Is My Woman Now) i Earl Hines (Rosetta), standard znany dzięki Billie Holiday (You’ve Changed), najpopularniejsza ballada Briana Wilsona z repertuaru Beach Boys (God Only Knows) oraz przebój Boba Dylana (I Shall Be Released). Centralne miejsce na płycie zajmuje tytułowa suita napisana przez Lloyda i zadedykowana praprababci muzyka, którą zabrano w wieku dziesięciu lat z rodzinnego domu w Missisippi i sprzedano jako niewolnicę do Tennessee. „Kiedy dowiedziałem się, jaka była jej historia, bardzo mną to wstrząsnęło. Suita stara się uchwycić każdy z etapów w jej życiu – utratę rodziny, samotność, niezrozumienie, sny, marzenia, smutek, a także kołysanki dla dzieci” – mówi Lloyd.

Internationally, Lahti Symphony Orchestra is closely associated with the numerous Sibelius recordings released on BIS, conducted by their long-time chief conductor Osmo Vänskä. These recordings have received an overwhelming international welcome among reviewers, but also among record-buyers: as of August 2009 more than one million Lahti discs released by BIS have been sold! As many already know, the orchestra does not only play works by Sibelius – its recordings of music by contemporary Finnish composers such as Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Joonas Kokkonen have all met with critical acclaim. Led by Jukka-Pekka Saraste, its present chief conductor, the orchestra now takes a step eastwards, and performs two symphonies by the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov. Having as a student absorbed the music of Webern, Scriabin and the new Polish school, in the 1970s Silvestrov moved away from avant-garde techniques and became increasingly involved with the idiom of 19th-century song: ‘It seems to me that music is song in spite of everything, even when it is unable to sing in a literal sense. Not a philosophy, not a system of beliefs, but the song of the world about itself, and at the same time a musical testament to existence.’ To date, Silvestrov has composed seven symphonies, of which the Fourth (1976) and the Fifth (1980–82) are both dominated by a longing for a beauty that used to be, but is no longer within reach. Considered by some to be his masterpiece, Symphony No. 5 has for instance been described as ‘an epilogue or coda inspired by the music of late Romantic composers such as Gustav Mahler.’
