- "César Franck: Djinns, Variations symphoniques, triptyques pour piano" - harmonically rich works from Franck's final years
- "Rebecca Clarke: Works for Viola" - violist Vinciane Bérange plays works by British composer Rebecca Clarke, whose music exudes a distinct character with influences of French colors and British folklore.
- "Saint-Saëns, Martinů & Krzeszowiec: Orchestral Works" - three rarely-heard pieces, with Martinů's Concerto for Flute, Violin, and Orchestra as the sparkling centerpiece
- "Fantasia: Works for Solo Cello" - cellist and 2022 Avery Fisher Career Grant-winner Jonathan Swensen is on the rise, and this solo debut album lets his sound shine through. The highlight is Dutilleux's challenging Trois strophes sur le nom de Sacher.
