Concerto italiano features a selection of violin concertos selected and performed by Carmignola, the pre-eminent violinist for virtuosic repertoire who takes listeners on a musical discovery tour from Baroque to early Classical. The album includes three world premiere recordings.

As a preface to the Czech Christmas Mass, Magdalena Kožená sings three free-standing pastorellas, by Jakub Jan Ryba, each blessed with the same wide-eyed wonder that suffuses the longer work. Recorded 1998, this is the first time it has been released in the UK.

The great Alfred Brendel marks his retirement with two memorable farewell concerts - the Hanover recital and his final concerto performance, with the Wiener Philharmoniker and Sir Charles Mackerras in Vienna's Musikverein. This 2CD digipack souvenir set captures these two memorable occasions.

With her new album 'Sacrificium', and a major international concert tour, Cecilia Bartoli uncovers the extraordinary world of the 'castrati', and sings the glorious music they inspired. The 'Sacrificium' project will tell the story of the castrati in all its complexity; its beauty, glamour, controversy and cruelty.

Bryn Terfel, a gentle man in real life, recruits a gang of 'bad boy' characters from opera and musicals to serenade us with tunes from the sinister side of the bass clef. Thoroughly convincing as villains you would not want to meet alone in the dark, Bryn Terfel morphs from Don Giovanni to Mack the Knife to Sweeney Todd with Terfel's devilish ease - Bad Boys is a delightful box of mixed (dark) musical bonbons.

Avie Records was launched in 2002 and is about artists. As the majors have downsized their recording programmes, a rapidly growing culture has developed of artists who are no longer able to obtain new recording contracts or replace lost ones. Moreover, many artists have been frustrated by their lack of control over their recording careers, an endeavour which for them is an investment in heart and soul. Avie Records is also about quality. Avie recordings boast the finest artists, outstanding production values and superlative packaging.
