A new year and a new decade have begun, and with that comes new music. This month, we’re proud to introduce the latest in Navona Records’ MOTO series, solo and chamber works, and much more.
Dive in and discover new music from: Taktus, Joseph Summer, Anne Neikirk, Trio Casals, Diane Jones, Edna Alejandra Longoria, Ovidiu Marinescu, Christina Rusnak, Chad Robinson, Clive Muncaster, Joanna Estelle, Eliane Aberdam, and John McGuire.
Mirrored Glass
Taktus
Bolstered by their love of the rich harmonies and clever rhythmic interplay in the music of Ann Southam and Philip Glass, the members of Taktus translate the language of piano into the marimba in their new album, Ravello Records’ MIRRORED GLASS.
Summer’s Distillation
Joseph Summer
With SUMMER’S DISTILLATION, Joseph Summer, as composer, offers a new look at the timeless texts credited to William Shakespeare. As artistic director, Summer presents settings by Brahms, R. Schumann, and Benjamin Pesetsky, curating an overall impressive collection of works for voice, harp, and horns.
Spring Shadows
Anne Neikirk
Experiential and experimental are two words that can describe Anne Neikirk’s new album SPRING SHADOWS. Through the use of solo instruments such as the saxophone, flute, harp, and percussion, Neikirk takes the listener on a journey through the energy of a fire, the rushing anxiety of a moving train, and the waving of a flag, all through the use of solo instruments distorted through the lens of electronic manipulation.
Moto Celeste
Trio Casals; Diane Jones; Edna Alejandra Longoria; Ovidiu Marinescu; Christina Rusnak; Chad Robinson; Clive Muncaster; Joanna Estelle; Eliane Aberdam
In MOTO CELESTE, the fifth installment in Navona Records’ MOTO series, the internationally-acclaimed Trio Casals takes on eight new works by eight preeminent composers. Classical music aficionados and casual listeners alike will find themselves drawn in by the Trio Casal’s powerhouse performances in MOTO CELESTE.
Lines at Dusk
John McGuire
John McGuire’s Navona Records album LINES AT DUSK showcases the hornist’s ability to enrich the works of a variety of composers with beautifully nuanced performances, as a solo performer, in a duo setting, and as a member of a brass quintet.
