Africa/Brass, released in 1961, was John Coltrane’s first album for Impulse! Records and a turning point in his recorded output. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio and produced by Creed Taylor, the project expanded Coltrane’s working quartet into a large ensemble, pairing his searching tenor and soprano saxophone with dense, brass-heavy orchestrations by Cal Massey. Arrangements by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner helped shape the album’s distinctive sound, weaving tuba, euphonium, French horns, and more into a powerful backdrop for Coltrane’s improvisations. With key contributions from trumpeters Booker Little and Freddie Hubbard, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Elvin Jones, and others, Africa/Brass reframed the idea of a “big band.” One of the most important early Impulse! releases, Africa/Brass announced Coltrane’s arrival on the “house that Trane built” with radical clarity.

British mezzo-soprano and BBC New Generation Artist Helen Charlston and pianist Sholto Kynoch present their take on Robert Schumann’s famous song cycle Dichterliebe (A Poet’s Love), based on poems by early 19th century German poet Heinrich Heine. The sixteen songs convey the birth of love, wonder, fragility in the face of love, emotions and nuances, wounds, sorrow, nostalgia, dreams, tears, betrayal, pain, consolation, death… The music expresses all the misfortunes that the poet had to face, as if a mirror image existed between the poet and Schumann.

Music as ritual: On their debut GENUIN album, the internationally acclaimed piano duo Pisareva–Tchaidze presents three landmark works of early modernism. Stravinsky’s „Le Sacre du Printemps“ — a piece that has stood at the heart of their repertoire for fifteen years — is set alongside Debussy’s „Épigraphes antiques“ and Bartók’s „Two Pictures“. Written within the same turbulent historical moment shortly before the First World War, these compositions reflect a time of profound cultural upheaval. The album explores the interplay between them — their archaic energy, their rhythmic vitality, and their dialogue between past and present. The duo’s finely calibrated ensemble playing brings striking rhythmic precision and luminous clarity of sound to these works.
