Über Glaube – Ein Portrait (About Faith – A Portrait): This is the title of the debut album of voicemade, the outstanding Leipzig a cappella ensemble.

Seine Energie und seine Schaffenskraft sind einfach beispiellos: Hat Roland Kaiser sein Millionenpublikum gerade noch mit dem Top 3-Album „Weihnachtszeit“ verzaubert, läutet der Ausnahmemusiker mit seiner brandneuen Single „Gegen die Liebe kommt man nicht an“ im März sein ganz persönliches Jubiläumsjahr auch musikalisch ein und kündigt damit auch sein mittlerweile 30. Studioalbum an, dass im September erscheinen wird und den Titel „Perspektiven“ trägt.
Seit mittlerweile fünf Dekaden prägt Roland Kaiser die deutsche Musiklandschaft wie kaum ein Zweiter. Schon unzählige Male von Fans und Medien auf dem Zenit seines Schaffens gefeiert, überrascht der leidenschaftliche Vollblutentertainer immer wieder mit frischen, unverbrauchten Ideen, um sich von Album zu Album jeweils aufs Neue zu übertreffen. 2022 markiert dabei für Roland Kaiser nun ein ganz besonderes Jahr, denn rund um seinen 70. Geburtstag im kommenden Mai beschenkt Roland Kaiser sich und seine Fans mit jeder Menge Überraschungen.

Es ist das mit Spannung erwartete Musik-Highlight des Jahres: Andrea Berg überrascht ihre Fans mit einem neuen Album der Extraklasse. 30 Jahre Andrea Berg: Giovanni Zarrella, Maite Kelly, DJ Ötzi, Kerstin Ott, Al Bano, Semino Rossi, Nik P., Nino de Angelo sowie weitere hochkarätige internationale Stars haben eigens für das neue Album “Ich würd ́s wieder tun” gemeinsam mit der Ausnahmekünstlerin Songs aufgenommen. Der Blick auf das Tracklisting verspricht für die kommenden Wochen bis zur VÖ zudem noch einige Überraschungen…

"New Eyes on Martin Luther" is an experiment based on Nils Landgren's relentless conviction that “music is music” and “nothing is impossible”. With those words serving as a motto, the three ensembles on this live album dive in without preconceptions. The traditional German folk song Die Gedanken sind frei is here performed with a percussive flute solo; Landgren’s smooth voice floating on top of a funky rhythm. Sometimes he joins Capella de la Torre with a trombone solo and when all play together it sounds as if the music was originally written with this in mind. It moves seamlessly between genres and conveys the sound of skilled musicians having fun.

Born in what is now the Netherlands in approximately 1440, Franco-Flemish composer Johannes Martini was one of the most exciting and in-demand cultural figures of his age. Alas, he is almost entirely unknown today, yet decades before Josquin Des Prez was the toast of Italy, Martini spent much of his career there, and he was handsomely rewarded for the innovative music he wrote for the ducal court of Ferrara.

After the internationally successful solo debut of Jan Börner‘s disc “absorta est …”, this album connects to Börner‘s first work in many respects. We find ourselves in the German-speaking repertoire of the predominantly late 17 th century, however, this time with secular instead of sacred music.

The idea of a Flemish-style organ for the church of Beurnevésin, which had never had a pipe organ, very quickly became obvious to me. Indeed, given the richness of the region’s organological heritage and the desire to further enrich it, the choice of this aesthetic, which is still unrepresented (and in fact rarely present outside Flanders), was fully justified. Moreover, in 2008 I had already reconstructed a Flemish instrument for the church of Cossonay (Switzerland), and this small organ had given me the aspiration to build a larger instrument.

The Journey Home: Live from the Kennedy Center. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI, the concert, which sold-out at the time, explores timeless themes of longing, loss, love, and the search for peace in the wake of catastrophe.

It was probably one of the very last concerts of the old era, the big party before the worldwide shutdown: On 15 March 2020, LINDEMANN played two triumphant concerts in Moscow's VTB Arena.

Stefanie Heinzmann was born on 10th March 1989 in Visp, Switzerland.

The Vienna State Opera Chorus is generally ranked among the finest choral ensembles in the world. The VSOC consists of 92 members divided evenly among male and female singers.

For once, a recitative is the focus of a cantata. In BWV 47, the opening chorus, two arias, and the final chorale are grouped around the central statement "Mankind is dirt, stench, earth and ashes," which can hardly be surpassed in clarity. It takes a soloist with a powerful voice and experience of life to get the message across credibly!

Hainbach’s latest album distils many elements of his work into an immaculate project; an irrepressible childlike fascination and obsession for experimenting, a mischievous sense of humour and a completely unique and charismatic approach to electronic production and composition. The release started as an installation and a one-off performance in Berlin, before expanding exponentially into a full album and an accompanying sound library which will also be available.

Everything the conductor Sir Simon Rattle touches "turns to gold". Everything except for the music dramas of Richard Wagner, that is! It has often been asserted, albeit without good reason, that Rattle and Wagner do not go together. This has now been conclusively disproved by the third collaboration between Rattle and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, together with a team of the very best Wagner singers. This concert performance of "Das Rheingold", the first opera in Wagner's mighty tetralogy "The Ring of the Nibelung", was performed in the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz on April 24 and 25, 2015, and has now been brought out by BR KLASSIK on two CDs just a few months after the live event.

Since its formation in 2008, the Ensemble Correspondances has devoted itself chiefly to French sacred music of the seventeenth century. Brought together by Sébastien Daucé during their studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique (CNSM) de Lyon, the musicians of Correspondances pursue this work (focusing notably on Marc-Antoine Charpentier) with infectious enthusiasm today.
