New DSD Release

This album is available exclusively in Stereo and Surround Sound DSD.
It is not available on SACD.

The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and its Music Director Rafael Payare make their Pentatone debut with Mahler’s 5th Symphony. The album is also the first recording under Payare’s tenure, and the beginning of a longer recording relationship with the label. For Payare, the Fifth is the last symphony that shows Mahler still looking forward to what the future might bring, unlike his subsequent, much darker and existential works. Despite that optimism, there is enough tragedy and struggle along the way, resonating with Mahler’s life at the time of creation. Payare’s proficiency in late-Romantic repertoire coupled with the matured, distinctive sound of the Montréal players make this a collaboration to look out for.

New DSD Release

This album is available exclusively in 2-ch Stereo DSD. It is not available on SACD.

Trio Brax is a chamber music ensemble based in Tromsø, Northern Norway, founded in 2015. In this first recording they showcase music by the three Norwegian composers; Kjell Habbestad , Håvard Lund , and Helge Iberg , as well as music by Paul Hindemith. With the unusual combination of viola, tenor saxophone and piano, Trio Brax is an odd flower in the world of classical chamber music. The highlighting of two instruments that are not commonly identified as soloistic is intriguing and offers a different palette to the listener. While other conventional piano trios can pick and choose from a wide range of well-known classical works, there used to be just one famous work written for the ensemble type of Trio Brax – Trio Op. 47 by Paul Hindemith – from 1928. Well – until now!

Meet the Magicians

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the co-founders of Dutch jazz label Sound Liaison at their studio in Hilversum. Frans de Rond (recording engineer) and Peter Bjørnild (producer) took me through their histories from music-lovers to musicians, from players to producers. I learned how they met at the Music Conservatory in Den Hague and how Sound Liaison was born years later out of a passion for Dutch jazz and top-quality high resolution audio recordings. We discuss some of their signature recording techniques, stories from the studio, and some of their favourite albums they’ve produced. Let’s take a look behind the curtain and meet the magicians that are Sound Liaison.
