We are delighted - and extremely proud - to have been awarded Gramophone's coveted 'label of the year'. Editor Martin Cullingford writes "A commitment to the finest artists and the highest sound quality, the Colchester-based company is a shining beacon for the art of recording".

 

We are saddened to hear that the conductor Bramwell Tovey has passed away. Known for his work with Brass Bands & orchestras, he will be greatly missed.

ARC Ensemble

Established in 2002, the ARC Ensemble (Artists of The Royal Conservatory) has quickly become one of Canada’s leading cultural ambassadors. The group has a core membership of piano, strings, and clarinet – all the players are senior faculty members of the Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School – which is supplemented by guest artists drawn from the organisation’s most exceptional students and alumni. The Ensemble has performed in major venues throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. It plays a leading role in unearthing repertoire that has been neglected due to political suppression or shifts in musical fashion, and its work has received unanimous acclaim from the world’s cultural press.

Recording of the Month – June 2023

“…Signum’s engineering suitably captures the domestic scale of the music, and the enthralling mix of finely blended voices with the gritty sonic patina of the viols. Fate may cast this odd couple together, but I daresay Tom and Will would have been more than chuffed with this classy tribute.” ****½

Ralph P Locke – Artsfuse.org – 4 June 2023

“Gianandrea Noseda’s powerful approach and his treatment of Shostakovich’s ironically satirical last symphony are not typically Russian … But listening closely, one notices that at no point does the conductor neglect the values of Shostakovich’s music. He merely dares to polish the symphony sonically, which I think serves it very well… The short movements Scherzo and Presto give the conductor the opportunity to let his orchestra run up to fulminant performances.” ****

“…This is a disc that makes you think about what you listen to and why. Scotting and Stubbs do not conform to the traditional counter-tenor/lute tropes, but their performances have a beauty and expressiveness all of their own.”
