What a delight of classical music reimagination. These guys pull of the technically and musically impossible. A reaffirmation that the cello is the most virtuosic and versatile instrument in the world. You have never heard cello like this. Thanks guys. - Jesse Lewis
Steve Reich
Third Coast Percussion
Producer: Jesse Lewis
Engineers: Dan Nichols, Jesse Lewis
Mastering: Kyle Pyke
Third Coast Percussion is a quartet of Reich veterans. The familiar Reich intensity and focus with the bleeding heart of this amazing young band of percussion virtuosi. A particular shout-out in this case to the great Dan Nichols for his obsessive approach to engineering that brought a special kind of warmth and sensitivity to the sound. - Jesse Lewis
The Knights: Azul
The Knights are the most creative and spontaneous orchestra you will ever hear; inspired by their fearless leader, Eric Jacobson, and joined by Yo-Yo Ma for this recording we did down at BRIC of Brooklyn.
The sessions were alive - and literally LIVE in concert for an invited audience. You will hear the vivid performance that took place amid the recording sessions.
The centerpiece, Azul by Osvaldo Golijov, is the masterwork of this disc, and worth giving a deep listen stem to stern.

Felix Mendelssohn: Sonatas from Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood
Abby and YiHeng delighted me one day with the idea of making the ONLY yet recording of Mendelssohn's complete works for fortepiano and violin.
The pure acoustics and aura of this album are totally enlightened by an original Graff we were able to find for the project - pristine condition, and with SUCH a staggeringly beautiful sound.
Period performances really live and breath are hard to come by, but this is as good as it gets. Thanks Abby and YiHeng for your amazing musicianship.

Louis Andriessen: Theatre of the World
The tour de force of operas for the year, this LA Phil production's scope is tremendous: fully staged with live animation and sound, recorded live for this recording.
We have the amazing vibrancy of the live performance shinning here. Your first listen will bring you right into the thick of the cast's powerful conveyance of the fantastical narrative of Athanasius Kircher, and the orchestra's equally expressive, dauntless approach.

Robyn Bollinger: Ciaccona, the Bass of Time
Robyn’s violin playing spoke to me when I heard her. She really shows us what a web the Ciaccona has woven in all music we hear.
