From the 200 or so discs that I heard in 2024, here are the ten new issues and three gems saved from obscurity, which gave me the most pleasure. As always these selections are entirely subjective, and take no account of the many other albums which I would no doubt have loved if I had heard ...

Kirke Karja / Étienne Renard / Ludwig Wandinger: Caught In My Own Trap

by John Sharpe
April 19, 2024

Estonian composer Arvo Pärt developed a style he termed tintinnabulation, because of its resemblance to pealing bells.

Anastasios Savvopoulos Azure: Ebbs And Flows

by Neri Pollastri
February 4, 2021

Quartetto atipico per strumentazione—sax, pianoforte, chitarra e batteria, ma senza contrabbasso—e per nazionalità—due tedeschi e due greci—questo Azure è diretto dal chitarrista Anastasios Savvopoulos, che ne firma anche le nove composizioni, tutte venate di una narratività melodica, ma al tempo stesso anche molto aperte, destrutturate, virtuosamente sbilenche.
