In Three Studies from Couperin, Thomas Ades empathetically reworks three pieces by the Baroque composer into music that is distinctively Ades without dismissing the source material. The basic structures of harmony and duration in 'Les Amusemens', 'Les Tours de Passe-passe', and 'L'Ame-en-Peine' remain unchanged, but the retouching of rhythm, texture and orchestral colours reveals an enthralling music that could be no other composer. The Three Studies has earned critical praise and popularity, having received over 200 public performances in more than 20 countries since its 2006 premiere. 'Three Studies from Couperin, looks at the music as if through a kaleidoscope, the shattered pieces of the original tumbling around like glinting fragments of coloured glass.' Financial Times

Dedicated to the memory of Oliver Knussen, George Benjamin's 2021 Concerto for Orchestra premiered at the BBC proms by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Benjamin said that the piece attempts "to conjure a trace of the energy, humour, and spirit" of Knussen. It is varied and dynamic across its unbroken 17-minute span - skittish lines play against still, suspended ones - and full of star turns for its various instrumental protagonists. Available here as a full score. Parts available to hire from September 2022."A terrific 17-minute tour de force, clearly inspired by the virtuosity of the Mahler CO players, but far from being merely a glittering showcase."The Times (Richard Morrison), August 2021"As with everything Benjamin writes, the concerto gleams, all the sonic ingredients individuated, clarity and intricate detail turning every player into a soloist. In this composer's music it's as if every bar, every idea, is an essence of the whole: an atom, more like the smallest in a set of Russian dolls."The Observer (Fiona Maddocks), September 2021

The Work is a book of lyrics and illustrations by the late Scott Hutchison, lyricist, vocalist and songwriter of Frightened Rabbit. This paperback follows the sold-out limited hardback edition and presents the band's complete lyrics (including B-sides and rarities) with handwritten excerpts by Scott, alongside his illustrations. The book is meant both as a celebration of and tribute to Scott's unbridled creativity. It aims to fulfill his wishes by being the book that he wanted to create and had spoken of creating before his death.Readers are advised that The Work includes content about topics that some may find upsetting, including references to suicide.Seeing this book come to life has been something of a bittersweet experience. Reading the lyrics without music really brings home the stark reality of what Scott was going through and at the same time highlights the talent of someone who I consider to be one of the best songwriters in the world. This would've been a different release had Scott been involved but we all felt it was important that his lyrics be celebrated and given the spotlight they deserve. As Scott has said, these words were always meant to be accompanied by music, but the impact of digesting them without is no less great. Pick up this book of words, hold it, share it and immerse yourself in the world Scott created by opening not only his heart but his whole soul to the world. Grant Hutchison (Scott's brother and drummer of Frightened Rabbit)

There are warning signs everywhere: ecological destruction, mental health crises, and obscene levels of inequality. At a time when quite literally Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, Rou Reynolds has gone in deep, head first, exploring the predicaments of modernity. Using his lyrics to navigate the complicated web of problems, he arrives on the other side with his Treatise on Possibility.
