Jorge Grundman is one of Spain's best-known composers. The musical career of the 1961-born Madrilenian, which initially led him into pop bands, is also reflected in his sensuous, light-flooded musical language, which is deliberately written for listeners of our time and reminds many of film music without images.

In autumn 2024, the winner of the Fanny Mendelssohn Prize 2024, bassoonist Emanuel Blumin-Sint, will release his debut album on the ES-DUR label. With "Leading Bassoon," Emanuel Blumin-Sint showcases the diverse capabilities of the bassoon, expanding its repertoire and playing techniques. His great ambition is to establish the bassoon as a leading solo instrument. On his album, he combines works by Bach, Mozart, Paganini, Allard, and Villa-Lobos with contemporary compositions by Yuri Povolotsky and Valentin Silvestrov, which are dedicated to him. In Silvestrov's composition, Emanuel himself handles the piano pedalling. Flautist Matvey Demin and cellist Alexey Stadler are Emanuel's partners in the duo works.

This is a well-integrated and personal debut album that opens up a complete world of sound that the listener can hardly bear to leave behind.

Just listen to the Fourth and you too will love Brahms…

The highly reputed Mouret lit up the Duchess of Maine's festivities with his Divertissements en Musique before becoming the official composer of the Comedie-Italienne in 1717, then artistic director of the Concert Spirituel in 1728. The Ensemble la Francaise invites us to discover his music's spontaneity, lightness and grace, as well as its dramatic expressivity, through his Airs a Danser from the Premier Livre (1734) and Concert de Chambre from the Second Livre (1738), along with a selection of motets that he composed for the Concert Spirituel in 1730.

This exceptional recording was made using three original instruments that belonged to Paganini himself: the powerful 1743 Guarneri del Gesù violin; a six-string guitar by Ory, Paris, dated 1797; and a magnificent 1736 Stradivari cello, property of the Nippon Music Foundation and entrusted to Clemens Hagen, cellist of the Hagen Quartet. The three instruments are played together for the first time on this release. It was Giulio Plotino who conceived this project and took upon himself the difficult task of reuniting the three instruments. Indeed, this unique recording would not have been possible without him.

This cycle of Jewish Songs is born of my research on traditional Hebrew music, a deeply rooted ancient music which has accompanied the Jewish people throughout centuries of wandering. I listened to the liturgical melodies from different sources and was mostly inspired by the art of singing of the Jewish cantors or Hazzans, in particular by their very expressive, but contained, interior way of singing. It is music in which the sacred and popular intermingle.
