Subcollection: Piano TrioAntonín Dvořák, Josef Suk and Bohuslav Martinů. Three big names in the world of classical music, three generations of Czech composers, from romanticism to modernism. But also three masterpieces lesser known to the larger audiences. Besides the most played repertoire for a piano trio, we see it as a challenge to try and find works that are played less often in public. This is how the program grew for this CD full of Bohemian colours, to which we added the famous ‘Gypsy’ trio by Haydn as a precursor from the classical period. We hope you can enjoy it as much while listening as we did during the recordings. |

Subcollection: GuitarJames Akers (romantic guitar)
The increasingly in-demand guitarist and lutenist James Akers makes his Resonus solo debut with a stunning album of works for romantic guitar.
Akers provides a captivating programme of works - consisting almost entirely of world premiere recordings - by guitar legends from continental Europe, all inspired by the Scottish landscape its music and its literature.
Featuring Mauro Giuliani & Luigi Legnani (from Italy), Fernando Sor (from Spain) and Johann Kaspar Mertz (from Hungary), this seductive album draws the listener in to the magical, diverse, and even haunting, Scottish influences that bewitched each of these nineteenth century composers. |

Subcollection: ViolinSimon Smith (violin)
Renowned British violinist and pedagogue Simon Smith makes his Resonus debut with an extraordinary disc of intensely virtuosic works for unaccompanied violin by two Hungarian composers - the late Sonata for Solo Violin by Belá Bartók and Signs, Games & Messages by living composer György Kurtág, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday in 2016.
The idiomatic and skilful writing for solo violin by both of these composers shows the immense range possible on this instrument, taking the performer to the edge of what’s possible. Often lyrical and expressive, often dramatic and atmospheric with folk influences, Simon Smith tackles this repertoire with great dedication and panache. |

Subcollection: PianoEmma Abbate & Julian Perkins (piano duet)
Pianists Julian Perkins and Emma Abbate have come together to record the first of two volumes of the complete piano duets of Mozart on original fortepianos.
Some of Mozart’s lesser-known works, his piano duets span most of his active life, with the earliest written at the age of nine. Often delightful and lyrical as well as humorous and exciting, these works are given an authentic air on period instruments. Included on this first volume are duets in D major K381, C major K521 and B-flat major, K358. Also included is a duet by Johann Christian Bach, with whom the infant Mozart is alleged to have played keyboard duets whilst sitting on the older composer's lap. |

Subcollection: Piano and GuitarJames Akers (romantic guitar) & Gary Branch (fortepiano)
Period guitarist James Akers returns to the Resonus Classics label with this programme of Classical works for guitar and piano. Joined by duo partner, fortepianist Gary Branch, this memorable recording presents music written with domestic settings in mind by some of the leading composers of the time, most of whom were resident in Vienna at some point in their lifetimes - Mauro Giuliani, Ferdinando Carulli, Ignaz Moscheles & Anton Diabelli.
Recorded on period instruments, including a rare original 1826 fortepiano by Conrad Graf, this elegant album marks one of the last to be made in Kent’s Finchcocks Musical Museum. |

Subcollection: PianoThe original first-movement manuscript of Schumann's Fantasie in C has a number of differences from the editions commonly used today - significant tempo and textual changes which David Wilde has reinstated in a revelatory reading of this tumultuous love-poem to the young Clara. In contrast, Kinderszenen, a touching and vernal evocation of childhood, is given a performance of artless innocence that chimes with Wilde's conviction that ‘it shouldn't sound mature'. Carnaval's colourful cast of characters is viscerally and imaginatively brought to life, culminating in Wilde's fearsome ‘March against the Philistines'.
A veteran of the Romantic piano tradition, David Wilde brings six decades of intense experience to this recital. His playing harks back to a time when audiences expected much more from the performer. This is Schumann with personality - listeners searching for a ‘safe' experience will be disappointed.
