- "Spectral Canticle" - The BBC Philharmonic and guitarist Jakob Kellermann perform works by Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu on this new record. Takemitsu's musical language relishes in the unexpected, glittering and shifting from light to dark in hairpin turns.
- "Difficult Grace" - Cellist Seth Parker Woods leads us through a "semi-autobiographical exploration of identity" in his first solo release, showcasing pieces from Frederick Gifford, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, Nathalie Joachim, Ted Hearne, and more.
- "yMusic" - Chamber group yMusic shares their first set of self-composed works in this instrumental album, giving the listener a peek into their collaborative composition process.
- "Fallen to Dust" - James Newby lends his honeyed baritone voice to this collection of English songs that reflect on loss, grief, and joy as a dedication to his recently-passed sister. Jonathon Dove's All you who sleep tonight is a highlight, and exposes sensitive accompaniment from pianist Joseph Middleton.
- "Meditatio II" - Iceland-based Schola Cantorum Reykjavicensis shares serene music for mixed choir in this new album. Music unfolds slowly here, so take a moment to lean into the repose. The traditional Icelandic lullaby Sofðu unga ástin mín stands out as profoundly beautiful and bittersweet, all while being wordless.
- "Lumières nordiques" - Canadian oboist Vincent Boilard joins Quatuor Molinari to present an album of pieces from contemporary Canadian composers Stewart Grant, Elizabeth Raum, Michael Parker, and Brian Cherney.
- "Terral, Strings to the Bone, Chamber Symphony" - It's a delight to discover Finnish composer Sebastian Fagerlund's music, which is authentically spiritual and dramatic in nature. The Tapiola Sinfonietta performs it here with sincerity.
