This CD features recordings of acclaimed concert by Il Giardino Armonico and Giovanni Antonini in Vienna in 1999 and is complemented by a special archive treasure from 1934: the arrangement of Handel’s Concerto, HWV335a, for large orchestra with Sir Hamilton Harty and the London Symphony Orchestra.

"Prokofiev: Symphony No. 6," performed by The Cleveland Orchestra under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, captures the profound and somber reflection of the post-World War II era. Composed between 1944 and 1947, this symphony contrasts the triumph of Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony with a more melancholic and introspective tone. Its three movements transition from a melancholy landscape to a conflicted middle filled with ardor and solace, and finally to an upbeat yet enigmatic finale. Despite initial success, it faced political denunciation, limiting its popularity compared to its predecessor. Recorded live at Mandel Concert Hall in Cleveland in 2023, this album continues The Cleveland Orchestra’s tradition of artistic excellence and innovative programming.

For five decades, vocalist-composer Meredith Monk has explored non-verbal vocal sound that lay beneath and beyond language. This exploration has led her to create an art that “sings, dances and meditates on timeless forces”. Voices and instruments have equal weight: sometimes each is heard alone; sometimes they are blended to form a new, mysterious sound; sometimes they are combined to create intricate, layered, yet transparent sonic landscapes.

Julie Lyon is at the top of her game as a jazz singer. MOONFLOWER, follow-up to the critically acclaimed JULIE, features original songs and compositions and is in many ways her first solo album. Though accompanied by her band, the focus is not only on Ms. Lyon’s considerable vocal talents but also on her role as lyricist and songwriter. The seeds of MOONFLOWER were sown when Julie began to write lyrics to some of composer Jack DeSalvo’s music. It became obvious that recording this music would be the vocalist’s next project and music by Julie Lyon along with additional collaborations with Tom Cabrera and Betsy Serafin create a tapestry of sophisticated listening experiences with music touching new jazz, folk and world music but always rooted in Julie’s sense of swing and the blues. The title song "Moonflower" is written by multi-instrumentalist/composer Matt Lavelle.
