This includes some good stuff, much of which is "the classical music you buy from Boomkat":

Since Vanessa Amara was mentioned above, she has a new record next month again on Posh Isolation and you can hear a beautiful track off it on her bandcamp:

Sure there are a lot of Reich-isms, but this Anenon record is beautiful, very pleasant listening. Really nice textures (all that breath sound on the saxophone) and room sound. https://anenon.bandcamp.com/album/tongue

Sunday midnightNightingalesSlow Radio
A magical late night listening experience - six musicians go into the Sussex woods to play nocturnal music with the nightingales, who gather there to sing at night each Spring. The soloists taking turns to respond musically to the nightingales are Clive Bell (Japanese bamboo flute); Laura Moody (cello and vocal); Sam Amidon, (violin and vocal), John Baily (rubab) with Veronica Doubleday (frame drum and vocal) ,and Sam Lee (vocal & harmonium). The entire programme takes place in the woods, recorded on one night in April. Verity Sharp presents, leading the listener into the wild nocturnal environment and describing the atmosphere, and folk singer and outdoorsman Sam Lee will explain the migratory behaviour of the birds, the character of their songs, and the habitats that they favour for singing.
This is a Slow Radio experience, immersing the listener in the remarkable and magical experience of the nocturnal songs of nightingales. They are rarely to be heard in England today, but this programme will lead your ears into one of the woods where they still migrate every Spring, to sing through the night.
And who knows what other sounds may be captured on the night - a fox bark, an owl hoot, frogs calling, the wind in the branches...

What did you think Le Bateau Ivre?
― djh, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 21:02 (five years ago) link
I got it in the mail yesterday so only played it through one time, but it's gorgeous. Delicate, fragile piano/violin music mostly, very melancholic, at times droney w/ strings. Music instilled with a sense of swelling unease and quiet mourning. There's little that makes me happier :)
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 28 February 2019 13:38 (five years ago) link
Ha! It has sold out since yesterday ... I've had a bit of a poor run on Fluid Audio releases where I've liked the Soundcloud link but then less so the album (though clearly the physical objects are constructed with fuck of a lot of love).

I’ve been listening through my various favorite albums of the years of the 2010s and I’m reminded that this was my very favorite album of 2014: Rebekka Karijord, Music for Film and Theatre.

Even before the Moby album, Deutsche Grammophon seemed to be releasing some unexpected artists (Clark, Balmorhea etc).
I know it's only a small part of what they do but wondering if it can be tracked to anything?
― djh, Monday, 12 April 2021 08:59 (three years ago) link
I'd track it to the start of their ReComposed series back in 2009: https://www.discogs.com/label/660411-Recomposed

Of course. I'd forgotten about them.
I was half wondering if there was one person commissioning these things, some of which seem great and some ... a bit less necessary.
