Trio Stadtlmann is a Japanese trio formed and active in Switzerland, featuring the world’s rarest stringed instrument, the baritone. Celebrating their 10th anniversary, the Trio Stadtlmann released their first recorded work with the cooperation of Tokyo Zoshigaya Haiobun-tei, which has been conducting a project to perform Haydn’s complete baritone trio works. It also includes the only quintet in existence that includes two horns! Ryuji Sakamoto, baritone Sonoko Asabuki, viola Shuko Sugama Formed in the fall of 2010 by Ryuji Sakamoto, Sonoko Asabuki, and Shuko Sugama, who had studied ancient instruments at the Musikhochschule Basel, the Vienna style double bass. The name of the ensemble comes from the fact that each member of the ensemble was lent an instrument or a copy of an instrument by the Stadlmann family, which was deeply connected with the Esterházy Palace where Haydn served, by the conservatory when the ensemble was formed. Since then, the group has been performing mainly in Basel, and in January 2015, as part of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland, they will tour Japan in cooperation with the Basel Conservatory, performing at 6 venues throughout the country.Since 2016, he has been a resident artist at “Hai-bun-tei” (Hidemi Suzuki, music director) in Honjo-ji Temple, Zoshigaya, Tokyo. As an artist-in-residence, he has been performing the complete baritone trios of J. Haydn’s compositions in the baritone trio performance project “The House of Nikolaus,” which is held twice a year.

Thomas Goetschel – Johann Sebastian Bach: Sonatas for Viola da gamba and Harpsichord BWV1027-1029 (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

The three gamba sonatas were written in the early 1740s. It remains unclear whether Johann Sebastian Bach intended to create a complete cycle (usually made up of six similar works), or whether the individual sonatas simply survived by happenstance and do not in fact form a unit. The assumption that Bach was indeed the composer rests on the fact that the Sonata in G minor (BWV 1029) has survived in Bach’s autograph. The two remaining sonatas, however, exist only as posthumous copies made in the circle of Bach’s sons of a manuscript that must have resembled the sonata penned by Bach himself. Bach’s manuscript can be dated to the beginning of the last decade of the composer’s life based on certain traits particular to his handwriting at that time.

For more than thirty years there had not been an individual prizewinner in the discipline of horn at the German Music Competition, that is, until Tillmann Höfs came from Hamburg in 2017. He won the hearts of the audience and literally blew the jury against the wall. His qualities, technical superiority, and great musical genius also distinguish his GENUIN debut CD, which was produced in the Primavera series in cooperation with the German Music Council. Höfs shows the entire breadth of his youthful, slim yet festive horn playing with works by Richard Strauss, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Paul Hindemith and Jörg Widmann. Outstanding repertoire and interpretation!

THY CATAFALQUE do not pretend to produce easy-listening music that comes as easy as it quickly fades out of the mind again. ‘Vadak’, the Hungarian act’s tenth full-length album, demands to be listened to with full attention, but with every new spin this masterpiece reveals more of its secrets and rewards the listener with a rich treasure of fascinating details.

Only few testimonies provide us any details about this now little known but once esteemed composer. Born in Coburg, 1735, Anton Schweitzer died 1787 in Gotha, where he had settled following the Weimar palace fire in 1774. Regrettably, only relatively few manuscripts have survived. Some of the works recorded here (which comprise almost the entire existing church music) have been preserved in several copies, which were recently found in different archives in Thuringia. This recording shows us a colorful virtuoso music of an unjustly forgotten composer.

Following an album dedicated to the forgotten Renaissance master Vicente Lusitano (Gramophone Editor’s Choice, Der Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Quarterly Critic’s Choice), The Marian Consort makes an enthralling leap forward to the present day. True to its core mission of expanding the vocal repertoire, A Winged Woman showcases the ensemble’s commissions from a crop of the UK’s finest composers – including seven world premiere recordings – with music by Dani Howard, James MacMillan, Electra Perivolaris, Howard Skempton, Chloe Knibbs and others. The works challenge traditions and tropes in imaginative and refreshing ways, bringing together a rich array of musical styles and textual approaches. As Perivolaris’s titular work makes clear, this album puts centre stage the compelling work of some of today’s most exciting women composers.

After the release of the first three albums “In Memoriam”, “Nights Of Lust” and “Miserere” Jason Köhnen (Mansur / The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble / The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation) has created The Lovecraft Sextet’s first soundtrack to a yet to be created movie. The Horror Cosmic is a Lovecraftian cosmic horror short story which dives into the existential dread of the infinite nothingness. The album was composed as a soundtrack to accompany the illustrated short story and is an expanded step in the multidisciplinary aspect of the Lovecraft Sextet project. Therefore this release should be listened to as a soundtrack with compositions working to accentuate a specific mood to the specific chapters of the story.

A key actor on the hazy side of post-punk music, Scottish trio COCTEAU TWINS became famous for their ethereal soundscapes and for pioneering what would become known as dream pop. The group’s sound was also highly inspirational for Jason Köhnen (BONG-RA, THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE). Paying tribute to this legendary band, Köhnen’s THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET has created an experimental 30-minute cover of the song ‘Seekers Who Are Lovers’ which originally appeared on the 1996 album “Milk & Kisses”.

„Let Go – Instrumentals“ is both a bold experiment and a highly atmospheric Jazz-album: The songs of Randi Tytingvågs „Let Go“ are returning as dreamy instrumentals – from which the original vocal tracks have carefully been removed. When Tytingvåg re-released her acclaimed full-length „Let Go“ internationally early this year, listeners marveled at how the charismatic Norwegian singer had managed to create a captivating sound and momentum without the use of either drums or percussion. The achievement wasn’t merely hers, though, but equally relied on the talents of her long-term live-band Tytingvåg Ensemble. As its members are now impressively demonstrating, the stories behind these songs are even holding up without the unique voice of their bandleader.

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion – Introducing the Hillbilly Moon Explosion (2002/2020) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz]

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Cleopatra Records

A Swiss rockabilly combo, the Hillbilly Moon Explosion exists in a middle ground between the traditionalism of many rockabilly revival bands and the rougher, spookier sound of psychobilly. Founded by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Emanuela Hutter and bassist and vocalist Oliver Baroni, their music has more than its share of retro twang with Hutter’s polished, enigmatic singing blending with the sometimes raucous, sometimes moody guitar lines, and they add dashes of punk, lounge pop, country, and even ska to season the evocative mix. The band staked out their trademark sound on 2002’s Introducing the Hillbilly Moon Explosion, they fully hit their creative stride on 2011’s Buy Beg or Steal, and they collaborated with psychobilly veteran Mark “Sparky” Phillips for 2019’s The Sparky Sessions. The Hillbilly Moon Explosion was formed in 1998 in Zurich, Switzerland. The group was formed by two musicians in the Zurich rockabilly community; Oliver Baroni had recently left his band the Hillbilly Headhunters, while Emanuela Hutter previously sang with MD Moon. With the addition of Pat Matteo on guitar and Aad Hollander on drums, the first edition of the Hillbilly Moon Explosion was complete. By the time the group cut their debut album, 2002’s Introducing the Hillbilly Moon Explosion, Pat Matteo was out of the group and Patrick Geser had become their guitarist. With 2004’s Bourgeois Baby, Aad Hollander had left the lineup and Luke Weyermann signed on as their drummer. American rockabilly picker Eddie Angel (best known for his work with Los Straitjackets) handled lead guitar chores on 2009’s All Grown Up, but on 2011’s Buy Beg or Steal, the band introduced a long-term guitarist in Duncan James, formerly of the British pop group Blue. One of the tracks on Buy Beg or Steal, “My Love For Evermore,” saw Emanuela Hutter dueting with Mark “Sparky” Phillips, lead singer with British psychobilly mainstays Demented Are Go, and he would go on to collaborate with the group again in the future. Phillips popped up on the song “Northern Crown” on 2013’s Damn Right Honey! (Songs of Love & Loss, Life & Death), and in 2015, they did an album length collaboration with French actress and vocalist Arielle Dombasle titled French Kiss. 2016 saw the release of With Monsters and Gods (featuring another guest spot from Phillips, on a cover of the Johnny Cash/June Carter Cash duet “Jackson”), and by this point, Luke Weyermann was no longer part of the band, and Sylvain Petite was behind the drums. 2019’s The Sparky Sessions paired Mark “Sparky” Phillips with the Hillbilly Moon Explosion for a full album. – Mark Deming
