Ramon Llull was a 13th Century Catalan philosopher, logician, author and Catholic missionary. A member of the Third Order of Saint Francis, he was killed while attempting to convert Muslims in North Africa and later beatified for his work by Pope Pius IX. He is also credited with writing the first major work of Catalan literature. This lush double SACD and hard-bound book documents Llull's travels across the Mediterranean Sea. Jordi Savall, Hespèrion XXI and La Capella Reial de Catalunya paint a sonic portrait of a world that hasn’t yet chosen between dialogue and conflict, showing how music encouraged the former while history confirmed the latter.

Following their internationally acclaimed recording of Steve Reich’s masterpiece Music For 18 Musicians, Ensemble Signal and Brad Lubman present two recent pieces by the composer: Double Sextet from 2007 and Radio Rewrite from 2012. Double Sextet is scored for two sextets of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, vibraphone and piano. It won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Music — the first for the composer. Radio Rewrite is a work for instrumental ensemble inspired by two songs by the British rock band Radiohead — "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Everything in Its Right Place." The piece represents the first time that Reich has reworked material from western pop/rock music. These strong, tuneful, energetic, tightly made works receive impassioned performances from Ensemble Signal, who The New York Times has called "one of the most vital groups of its kind."

His Violin Concerto — enthusiastically received at its premiere — is revived here, alongside Wieniawski’s dazzling Fantaisie, in volume 20 of Hyperion's Romantic Violin Concerto series.

Franz Xaver Mozart was born just four months before the death of his father, Wolfgang Amadeus. Although a pianist of similarly precocious talent, he wrote only two piano concertos. Coupled with Clementi’s only surviving essay in the genre, they make a sparkling addition to Hyperion's Classical Piano Concerto series. Howard Shelley, the series' able guide, leads the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen from the keyboard.

Fellow Creatures is the first new solo music from Jasper Høiby since his formation of the piano trio Phronesis in 2005. This hugely anticipated album features both young and seasoned lights of the London jazz scene. Høiby’s music embodies a strong sense of groove and an optimistic and driving energy, which combines with atmospheric textures and contrapuntal rhythms, leading Jazzwise to describe the band as "masters of evolving melody."

Elliot Galvin is one of the rising stars of jazz. A superbly gifted composer and pianist with a maverick imagination, he has a magpie-like ability to blend a disparate world of influences into his own. Galvin’s music is both playful and deadly serious, drawing on a wide range of influences from Keith Jarrett and Stravinsky to Deerhoof and the Beatles, as well as the films of David Lynch, the Dada movement and the literature of James Joyce. Winner of the 2014 European Young Jazz Artist of the Year Award in Germany, the Elliot Galvin Trio released their début album Dreamland to rave reviews, with the Guardian calling it "audaciously accomplished" and BBC Radio 3 saying it was "bold and progressive." Punch marks the trio's Edition Records début.
