Album insights
"XII," the second vinyl edition presented by Deutsche Grammophon as a continuation of their dedication to exploring new repertoire, showcases a collection of pieces poised to stand out from the crowd of monthly releases. These compositions, diverse and genre-defying, reflect the variety of contemporary classical music. The 2020 "XII" vinyl project includes Gavin Luke's hauntingly beautiful "Influences," Angus MacRae's "And Forever," Vanbur's "Falling Colour," and Brambles' blend of Moog synthesizer and delicate piano in "Mists Inhabit This Place." The project's creative scope also features works by Elena Kats-Chernin, Leon Weber, Vivian Roost, Minihi, Rossano Snel, Jon Obstad, Sergio Díaz de Rojas, and Christina Vantzou.
