Alexis Ffrench's Evolution and Mischa Maisky & Lily Maisky's Adagietto hit the shelves, music lovers!
In the realm of classical music, two exceptional albums have recently graced the airwaves, each offering a unique blend of talent and innovation. These albums, "Evolution" by Alexis Ffrench and "Adagietto" by Mischa Maisky, are currently featured on our Album of the Week, a daily showcase on our website that brings new recordings, including world exclusives and premiere broadcasts of the latest releases.
Alexis Ffrench, a renowned British composer and pianist, is the mastermind behind "Evolution." This album, released on Sony Classical, is a testament to Ffrench's signature style, often described as "classical-soul." By blending classical piano with soulful, modern elements, Ffrench has crafted a sound that appeals to a wide audience beyond traditional classical listeners. The album features collaborations with harpist Lavinia Meijer and electro folk duo Tall Heights, adding depth and diversity to its tracks.
"Evolution" has been a resounding success, reaching No. 1 on the Classical Music Charts and contributing to Ffrench's reputation as a modern classical artist. With over 500 million streams across his works, Ffrench is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the classical music world.
In a different vein, Mischa Maisky, the world-famous cellist, and his daughter, Lily Maisky, a highly accomplished pianist, have collaborated on an album titled "Adagietto." This album, released on Deutsche Grammophon, is a celebration of Maisky's 70th birthday. The father-daughter duo, known for their emotive performances and collaboration, brings a deep musical and familial synergy to their interpretations.
Maisky, celebrated for his emotive cello performances, is joined by Lily on piano, and Sascha on violin. The album features a variety of inventive arrangements, making it a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts.
