WITHIN MY SOUL, composer Akemi Naito’s Ravello Records debut, features three pieces ranging from mono-opera to solo percussion performances.

HARMONY OF DISSONANCE
Jazz Orchestra of the Academy of Music in Zagreb
Harmonija Disonance ensemble
Orchestra | Vocal
Navona Records’ HARMONY OF DISSONANCE mingles the traditional folk music of Dalmatia with recently composed miniatures by Zoran Ščekić. The album is a display of the unique musical synergy that can be created by juxtaposing traditional music with modern experiments.

Erich Stem
Bill Whitley
Brian T Field
Mark Francis
Jan Järvlepp
Orchestral
Navona Records’ DIMENSIONS VOL. 2 is an album of contrasts: Five unique voices by five different composers, five heterogenous musical subjects, and five different instrumental set-ups. Yet, all come together in a cohesive and memorable collection of contemporary orchestral compositions.
Taperebá
Mikarimba
Jazz
Japanese marimba extraordinaire Mika Stoltzman and her powerhouse group, Mikarimba, return to Big Round Records with TAPEREBÁ, a vibrant collection of 20th and 21st-century jazz, popular music, and more. Together with GRAMMY Award-winning legends from Richard Stoltzman to Steve Gadd, Eddie Gomez, and more, Mika Stoltzman delivers a rousing, innovative listening experience.
DAYTIME & NIGHT SONGS
Mira J. Spektor
Vocal | Piano
The poetry and music explored on Mira J. Spektor’s DAYTIME & NIGHT SONGS are as crucial to the full album as the cycles of nature are to time. Full of passion and imagery, the lyrics and music of each piece paint a spectacular image in Spektor’s latest album.
DAWN BREAKS
Maija Hynninen
Electroacousic
Maija Hynninen’s Ravello Records album DAWN BREAKS presents a unique perspective on the music we associate with morning-time. The aesthetic, with experimental electronics and instrumentation, doesn’t signify the calm serenity of a brand new day, but rather captures the fragility of each morning.
ALONE AND UNALONE
James O’Callaghan
Chamber
New from Ravello Records comes composer James O’Callaghan’s ALONE AND UNALONE, a scintillating dance between reality and abstraction. Marrying traditional instruments, ambient sounds, and the incomparable power of the human voice, ALONE AND UNALONE dares the listener to grapple with solitude.
