AUGUST RELEASES OUT NOW

THEN ELEPHANT SPEAKS

Bill Whitley

In the triumphant THEN ELEPHANT SPEAKS, composer Bill Whitley tells stories of strength and power through acoustic and electric sound. He leads listeners on a journey through melancholic original compositions, atmospheric remixes, the cycles of discovery, and an eventual sense of return.

 


WINDSWEPT

Jan Järvlepp; Ferdinando DeSena; David MacDonald; Craig Peaslee; Kenneth A. Kuhn; Arcadian Winds

The title of Navona Records’ WINDSWEPT refers to more than just the wind quintet whose sounds make up the musical landscape of this compilation. It reflects the way the listener is consumed by the stories of each composition and left moved by the power of each.

 


QUAESTIONES ET RESPONSA

Alla Elana Cohen

Composer and pianist Alla Elana Cohen presents her monumental double album QUAESTIONES ET RESPONSA. Her latest Ravello Records release features chamber music works with highly original set-ups and a truly unique musical language.
