Classical Music

Contemporary composers are rediscovering the oboe and, in this selection, with diversity. What links Michael Finnissy’s intricate title track, the acrobatics of Roger Redgate’s Éperons, the quasi-impressionism of Howard Skempton. Christopher Fox’s dense harmonies and James Clarke’s stark abrasiveness is Christopher Redgate’s virtuosic oboe playing.****

With her third single now available worldwide, pianist @izzypianonyc takes you through the roots of her album, Cocteau, which began with a new work by composer @rhonapclarke! ❤️❤️❤️ “My lady sweet, arise, arise, arise!” Métier is delighted to present the February 2026 release of “The Girl from the French Fort,” an enchanting narrated orchestral work by Beijing-based composer and conductor Nicholas Michael Smith based on a children’s story by acclaimed Chinese author Hong Ying. Gerry Cornelius conducts the New Music Players, with English narration by Timothy Bentinck, best known for voicing the role of David in BBC Radio 4’s The Archers, and with Mandarin narration by Niki Yan, who has starred in many Chinese and international films and tv dramas. “In Hong Ying’s Sangsang stories, we can see the convergence of past literary trends greatly enhanced by using a child’s voice to weave a tale of fantasy. In Smith’s composition based on Hong Ying’s first Sangsang story, we see themes of loyalty and parental love. The transcultural quality of the story places the plot within the context of an interconnecting world. Its joyful message of forgiveness, reconciliation, and renewal will gladden the heart of any child or adult from any corner of the world.” —M.A. Aldrich Don’t miss @daheekim.pianist’s premiere recording of @nickscottburt’s Prelude No. 9 in E Major #nowplaying in #AppleMusicClassical’s Contemporary Classical playlist!
