Antje Weithaas, Marie-Elisabeth Hecker and Dénes Várjon perform Robert Schumann's complete works for piano trio

The new album brings together Schumann's three piano trios and the Fantasiest&uuml;cke, Op. 88
Deutsche Grammophon presents Schumann's complete works for piano trio: the Piano Trios, Opp. 63, 80 and 110, together with the Fantasiest&uuml;cke, Op. 88.
The album will be released on 30 October 2026 as a 2-CD set and digitally.
"You have to be willing to embrace darkness and, with Schumann, be able to leap from heaven to hell in a tenth of a second." Antje Weithaas
Violinist Antje Weithaas, cellist Marie-Elisabeth Hecker and pianist D&eacute;nes V&aacute;rjon devote their new album to Robert Schumann's complete works for piano trio. Robert Schumann: Complete Works for Piano Trio brings together the three piano trios (No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63, No. 2 in F major, Op. 80, and No. 3 in G minor, Op. 110), alongside the Fantasiest&uuml;cke, Op. 88. These compositions move between intimacy and passion, lyrical tenderness and restless energy. The three internationally acclaimed musicians combine established solo careers with many years of chamber-music experience. Their shared musical language, developed in rehearsal, concert and the studio, responds to Schumann's abrupt shifts of mood and brings the layered dialogue between the three instruments to the fore. The album was recorded over seven intensive days in February and March 2025 at the Deutschlandfunk Kammermusiksaal in Cologne; Christoph Franke was responsible for recording, editing, mixing and mastering.
Schumann's music can change its emotional temperature within a few bars. Bright lyrical moments turn into nervous agitation, dark energy gives way to unexpected calm, and seemingly stable forms begin to shift. For Antje Weithaas, this is precisely what makes these works both challenging and compelling. As she puts it, they demand the courage to embrace darkness and the ability, in Schumann, to leap from heaven to hell in a tenth of a second. D&eacute;nes V&aacute;rjon describes the music as personal as a diary - powerful and vulnerable at once. The album is released in the year in which Antje Weithaas celebrates her 60th birthday.
The Fantasiest&uuml;cke, Op. 88, occupy a special place in this overall picture. Schumann began them in December 1842 as his first work for piano trio and revised them before their publication in 1850. The four movements combine song-like and march-like characters with formal freedom and intricate dialogues. Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63, was written in 1847 and may be understood as a tribute to Mendelssohn. Canonic structures, triplets and syncopations drive the first movement, where dark energy and lyrical brightness rapidly alternate.
Piano Trio No. 2 in F major, Op. 80, was composed between 1847 and 1849 as a more melodic, sunnier companion to the first trio. Motifs from the Eichendorff song Dein Bildnis wunderselig run through the first two movements; in the lilting third movement and capricious finale, the interplay of the three voices unfolds further. Piano Trio No. 3 in G minor, Op. 110, dates from 1851. Its tense, at times sombre atmosphere is driven by unrelenting rhythmic restlessness; its later movements introduce unusual harmonies that already point towards the music of the future.
Taken together, the four works reveal how Schumann repeatedly reimagined the piano trio: as a tightly woven dialogue between equal voices, a space for extreme shifts of feeling and a realm of poetic ambiguity. For the three performers, recording this repertoire was a long-held ambition. Weithaas, Hecker and V&aacute;rjon approach Schumann's unusual notation and hidden musical ideas with great precision, without smoothing away the spontaneity and sense of risk in this music. The result is a multifaceted portrait of a composer whose chamber music remains at once powerful, sensitive and disconcertingly modern.
The three artists are in demand internationally both as soloists and chamber musicians. Antje Weithaas was named Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2025 OPUS KLASSIK Awards; Antje Weithaas and D&eacute;nes V&aacute;rjon received the 2024 annual prize from the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik for their Beethoven recordings released by CAvi. Marie-Elisabeth Hecker won the Rostropovich Competition in 2005, while D&eacute;nes V&aacute;rjon is a winner of the G&eacute;za Anda Competition and a recipient of the Kossuth Prize. In Schumann's piano trios, they find music that brings together their different experiences while giving each instrument its own distinctive space.
The album Robert Schumann: Complete Works for Piano Trio will be released on 30 October 2026 as a 2-CD set and digitally in SD and HD. The third movement of the Fantasiest&uuml;cke, Op. 88, Duett. Langsam und mit Ausdruck, will be available to stream and download from 16 October 2026.

RIAS Kammerchor Berlin and Justin Doyle Present Winter Tales - The Britten Christmas Album

To mark the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten's death on 4 December, the album combines much-loved Christmas music with rarely heard choral works
With the exception of&nbsp;The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard&nbsp;the entire programme is new to the Deutsche Grammophon catalogue
The album will be released on CD and digitally in stereo and Dolby Atmos on 16 October 2026
&ldquo;A Ceremony of Carols&nbsp;is well known and loved, but the rest of the repertoire will probably be less familiar. The album is conceived as a kind of &lsquo;Christmas stocking&rsquo; of discoveries.&rdquo; Justin Doyle
The&nbsp;RIAS Kammerchor Berlin&nbsp;and its Chief Conductor and Artistic Director&nbsp;Justin Doyle&nbsp;turn to Benjamin Britten's choral music for their new album.&nbsp;Winter Tales - The Britten Christmas Album&nbsp;will be released digitally and on CD on 16 October 2026, the year marking the 50th anniversary of the composer's death. At its heart are&nbsp;A Ceremony of Carols,&nbsp;A Boy was Born&nbsp;and&nbsp;Missa brevis in D, complemented by&nbsp;A Hymn of St. Columba&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard. With the exception of&nbsp;The Ballad, the entire programme is new to the&nbsp;Deutsche Grammophon&nbsp;catalogue. The recording also features the boys of the Staats- und Domchor Berlin, harpist Anna Viechtl, organist Marcel Andreas Ober and pianist Philip Mayers.
The album is conceived as a Christmas release but follows no conventional festive arc. Britten's familiar Christmas music is set alongside works heard far less often, opening up different facets of his choral writing. For Doyle, this repertoire is closely bound up with his own biography. A former chorister at Westminster Cathedral, he encountered several of these works as a boy. For the new recording, he also worked from scores containing Britten's handwritten annotations, gaining insights into the composer's sound world and performance practice.
Britten began&nbsp;A Ceremony of Carols&nbsp;in 1942 while returning to Britain from the United States. Before leaving Halifax, Nova Scotia, he acquired Gerald Bullett's anthology&nbsp;The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems; during the voyage, he set five of its texts, which became the core of the&nbsp;Ceremony. Medieval poetry and plainchant meet Britten's distinctive harmonies and melodic lines. Although the work is now often associated with children's voices, it was originally written for adult women's voices.
Set alongside the&nbsp;Ceremony&nbsp;is&nbsp;A Boy was Born, a work Britten composed at the age of 19: a 30-minute sequence of a cappella variations for adult and boys' voices.&nbsp;Missa brevis in D&nbsp;was written in 1959 for the choir of Westminster Cathedral and its director George Malcolm. Its rhythmically lively&nbsp;Gloria, twelve-tone&nbsp;Sanctus&nbsp;and unsettlingly fading&nbsp;Dona nobis pacem&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Agnus Dei&nbsp;show Britten's ability to turn rigorous compositional techniques into immediate dramatic expression.
The other works lead into different historical and spiritual worlds.&nbsp;A Hymn of St. Columba&nbsp;was written in 1962 to mark the 1,400th anniversary of Columba's voyage from Ireland to Iona, combining a text about the Last Judgment with deep organ rumblings and concentrated choral writing.&nbsp;The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard&nbsp;was composed during the Second World War for Britten's friend Richard Wood and fellow musicians at the Oflag VIIB prisoner-of-war camp near Eichst&auml;tt. Britten sent the manuscript to the camp one page at a time on microfilm. Set against a wintry backdrop, the story tells of forbidden love, jealousy and murder; Britten's setting follows it with striking immediacy.
Winter Tales&nbsp;was recorded in Berlin's Auenkirche in January 2026. Its clear yet resonant acoustic and newly restored organ provided ideal conditions for the precision of Britten's choral writing. The exclusively digital&nbsp;Dolby Atmos version&nbsp;brings out the church's acoustic space and the choir's procession in and out of&nbsp;A Ceremony of Carols&nbsp;to beautiful effect.
The changing forces - from women's voices and harp, to a full choir with boys' voices, to men's voices and piano - are central to the album's dramatic design. They make audible the variety of Britten's music for the concert stage. For Doyle, they also reflect a fundamental idea in Britten's music: &ldquo;It doesn't really matter who sings his music. What matters is that it is performed well, with the appropriate spiritual or dramatic intention.&rdquo;
Winter Tales - The Britten Christmas Album will be released on CD and digitally in SD, HD and Dolby Atmos on 16 October 2026.&nbsp;There Is No Rose&nbsp;from&nbsp;A Ceremony of Carols&nbsp;will be available to stream and download from&nbsp;2 October 2026. Around the 50th anniversary of Britten's death, the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin will also bring music from the album to the concert stage: on&nbsp;5 December 2026&nbsp;at Berlin Cathedral and on&nbsp;6 December 2026 at the Marktkirche in Hanover, both under Justin Doyle's direction.

Floating Points Shares New Mere Mortals Track Pandora’s Creation

Mere Mortals&nbsp;will be released in all formats on 28 August 2026
Pandora&rsquo;s Creation will be shared online on 24 July&nbsp; 
Floating Points&nbsp;today unveils&nbsp;Pandora&rsquo;s Creation, the second track from his forthcoming Deutsche Grammophon album&nbsp;Mere Mortals. Following the release of&nbsp;Her Gift, the new single offers another compelling glimpse into Sam Shepherd&rsquo;s genre-defying score, where orchestral writing and electronic sound worlds merge into a rich and immersive musical experience.
Floating Points&rsquo;&nbsp;Mere Mortals&nbsp;will be released on&nbsp;28 August 2026. Recorded with the&nbsp;San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, the 14-track album captures Shepherd&rsquo;s first full-length ballet score, originally commissioned by San Francisco Ballet Artistic Director Tamara Rojo. Reimagining the myth of Pandora through a contemporary lens, the work explores themes of curiosity, transformation and humanity&rsquo;s relationship with technology and the natural world.
Reflecting on the project, Shepherd explains: &ldquo;Pandora&rsquo;s not about bringing hell to Earth. She really represents curiosity and change.&rdquo; This fresh interpretation shapes a score that moves seamlessly between lyrical orchestral passages, powerful brass writing and pulsating electronics, creating a musical narrative that is as compelling on record as it is on stage.
Floating Points will appear live in the European premiere of&nbsp;Mere Mortals&nbsp;with San Francisco Ballet at the 2026&nbsp;Edinburgh International Festival&nbsp;(28 August, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra; further performances 29 &amp; 30 August), and when the work transfers to&nbsp;Sadler&rsquo;s Wells Theatre in London (9-12 September, with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia).

Deutsche Grammophon China signs guzheng artist Yang Yang and pianist Ju Xiaofu

Yang Yang Becomes DG China&rsquo;s First Chinese Traditional Instrumentalist and Ju Xiaofu Joins the Label As Its First Signed Pianist
 BEIJING&nbsp;/BERLIN, 14 April&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;Deutsche Grammophon China (DG China), the China classical label launched by Universal Music Greater China (UMGC) in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon, today announced the exclusive signing of two outstanding young Chinese musicians &mdash; guzheng artist&nbsp;Yang Yang&nbsp;and pianist&nbsp;Ju Xiaofu.
The signings represent a significant milestone in DG China&rsquo;s continued investment in the future of Chinese classical music. Under these long-term agreements, DG China will support both artists through an integrated partnership spanning recordings, concert, artist management, touring, repertoire development and brand collaborations &mdash; a full-spectrum model designed to support enduring artistic careers.
Since its launch in 2025, DG China has set out to discover and support a new generation of Chinese classical artists, drawing on the heritage and artistic leadership of Deutsche Grammophon together with UMGC&rsquo;s local market expertise and global infrastructure. The signing of Yang Yang and Ju Xiaofu reflects that mission in action, while expanding the label's artistic vision &mdash;marking the first time in Deutsche Grammophon's nearly 130-year history that it has embraced Chinese traditional music..
Timothy Xu, Chairman &amp; CEO of Universal Music Greater China, said: &ldquo;DG China was created to support exceptional Chinese musicians with long-term vision, world-class resources and a truly global platform. Yang Yang and Ju Xiaofu are both remarkable artists with distinctive voices, deep musical integrity and the potential to resonate far beyond China. We are proud to welcome them to DG China and to begin a comprehensive partnership that will accompany them across every dimension of their artistic journeys.&rdquo;
Dr. Clemens Trautmann, President of Deutsche Grammophon and&nbsp;New Business Strategy Global Classics, said: &ldquo;Deutsche Grammophon has always believed in nurturing artists whose individuality, imagination and artistic excellence can speak across cultures. Yang Yang and Ju Xiaofu each represent a compelling facet of China&rsquo;s rich and evolving musical landscape.&nbsp;Universal Music is&nbsp;in&nbsp;a unique position to grow their careers meaningfully and holistically in China and beyond. We are excited about creating opportunties for our roster of DG China artists with globally visible recording projects as well as with live touring and brand partnerships.&rdquo;
Yang Yang, the first Chinese traditional instrumentalist signed to an exclusive full-service contract with DG China&nbsp;, represents a new generation of musicians bringing heritage into contemporary focus. A young guzheng artist currently pursuing her Master&rsquo;s degree at the Central Conservatory of Music, she combines virtuoso performance with composition, arranging, production and singing, reflecting a distinctly multidimensional artistic identity. The guzheng, the plucked Chinese zither with a history of more than two millennia, remains one of the most distinctive instruments in Chinese musical tradition. Yang Yang has performed Guo Wenjing's&nbsp;Chun Wang (Spring Gazing)&nbsp;at both the Vienna Konzerthaus and Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts, captivating Chinese and international audiences with her nuanced yet intense interpretation to thunderous applause and widespread acclaim.&nbsp;She has&nbsp;also built&nbsp;a strong following among younger audiences in China through original projects and a digital fanbase approaching one million across major platforms.
Yang Yang&nbsp;said: &ldquo;It is a tremendous honor to join DG China and begin a new chapter with the iconic Yellow Label, which I have long admired. As a guzheng artist, I hope to bring a distinctively Eastern voice to this storied classical label through the instrument&rsquo;s 21 strings, and to explore how Chinese traditional music can speak to contemporary audiences in ways that feel fresh and meaningful while expanding true to its spirit and depth. I am deeply grateful to DG China for embracing this vision and for supporting me so comprehensively across recording, performance, artistic planning and long-term development. I look forward to sharing my music with more audiences in China and around the world."
Ju Xiaofu joins DG China as its first signed pianist, bringing to the label a distinctive artistic voice shaped by contemporary sensibility and poetic imagination. A graduate of The Juilliard School now pursuing further studies in Hannover, he has appeared at leading venues including the Wiener Musikverein, Salzburg Festspielhaus, Berlin Philharmonie Kammermusiksaal, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall&rsquo;s Zankel Hall, while also performing with the China Philharmonic Orchestra and the China NCPA Orchestra. Deeply engaged with contemporary repertoire, he has given the Chinese premieres of Philip Glass&rsquo;s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Messiaen&rsquo;s Oiseaux Exotiques, and released his debut album Waldeinsamkeit in 2025.
Ju Xiaofu&nbsp;said: "Joining DG China is both deeply meaningful and profoundly inspiring for me. The Yellow Label has been part of my musical imagination since childhood, and it is a great honor to now become part of that legacy. I hope that, together with Universal Music and DG China, I will be able to realize many of my artistic aspirations, release more recorded work and bring my music to ever larger stages. I am very grateful to DG China for its trust, and I believe this will be a close and joyful partnership through which we can create new work together with sincerity, imagination and freedom."
Zhao Zheng, Head of DG China, said: &ldquo;From the moment we began shaping DG China, our ambition has been to build a platform that supports artists in a truly comprehensive way &mdash; from identifying talent and refining artistic direction to recording, touring, management, media projects and brand collaboration. Yang Yang and Ju Xiaofu are exactly the kind of young artists we hope to champion: deeply committed, highly individual, and capable of opening new conversations around classical music and artistic expression in China today. We are excited to work closely with both of them over the long term and to help bring them to broader audiences at home and internationally.&rdquo;

harmonia mundi to be available in the DG Store and on STAGE+

Berlin, 25 March 2026 &ndash; A new landmark partnership between harmonia mundi and Deutsche Grammophon will launch in April this year. The renowned French heritage label will be represented with a curated selection of recordings both in Deutsche Grammophon&rsquo;s physical store and on the STAGE+ streaming platform.
Founded in 1958, harmonia mundi ranks among the world&rsquo;s leading classical labels. Shaped by the pioneering vision of its founder Bernard Coutaz, the Arles-based company has established itself as a major force in historically informed performance while also building a broad-ranging catalogue spanning early music to contemporary works. Harmonia mundi works with outstanding artists including William Christie, Ren&eacute; Jacobs, Pablo Heras-Casado, Nikolai Lugansky, Paul Lewis, Isabelle Faust and Tabea Zimmermann, while its harmonia#nova series is dedicated to fostering emerging talent. Numerous accolades, including multiple &ldquo;Label of the Year&rdquo; honors and, most recently, Gramophone&rsquo;s 2025 &ldquo;Recording of the Year&rdquo; award for Bach&rsquo;s *Mass in B minor* by Pygmalion under Rapha&euml;l Pichon, underscore the label&rsquo;s international standing.
The collaboration will open at Easter with two major new releases: Johann Sebastian Bach&rsquo;s *St John Passion*, performed by Ensemble Pygmalion under Rapha&euml;l Pichon, and Joseph Haydn&rsquo;s *The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross* in its oratorio version, recorded by the RIAS Kammerchor and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin under Justin Doyle.
At the outset, the DG Store will offer a selection of key catalogue titles, including benchmark reference recordings, recent releases, premium LP editions and selected CD box sets. In parallel, STAGE+ will launch an expanding streaming offering that is set to grow gradually into harmonia mundi&rsquo;s full audio catalogue.
STAGE+ will also broaden its audiovisual programme with productions from the label. Highlights include the acclaimed Schumann concerts with Isabelle Faust, Alexander Melnikov, Jean-Guihen Queyras and the Freiburger Barockorchester under Pablo Heras-Casado. The offering will be complemented by exceptional video formats, including Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker&rsquo;s dance-theatre staging of Bach&rsquo;s Cello Suites with Jean-Guihen Queyras, as well as Rapha&euml;l Pichon&rsquo;s interpretation of Bach&rsquo;s *St Matthew Passion* from Aix-en-Provence.
With the integration of harmonia mundi, Deutsche Grammophon and STAGE+ are making another clear statement in support of curated excellence and the fusion of tradition and innovation in the digital classical market.
