KKX x SXSW
Qobuz 24/44.1




A Qobuz release.

Founded in 2017, Mercury KX (MKX) is a beautiful label, hosting a whole generation of unique musicians who have been called "neo-classical" or "post-classical." Often these are classically trained virtuosos who have decided to turn their hand to composing in the field of minimalist music, or electronic music—ambient preferably—or even pop. This is a label without borders, hosting artists from Germany, Argentina, Australia, Iceland, England and elsewhere, in which we meet Ólafur Arnalds, Anoushka Shankar, Jean-Michel Blais and Isobel Waller-Bridge. Often instrumental, MKX's music invites us to travel: it evokes images and landscapes. And its artists seem to be in constant conversation with the world around them and nature, as perfectly illustrated by MKX x SXSW, four previously unreleased tracks livestreamed during the (virtual) 2021 edition of the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. This EP features Argentine pianist and cellist Sebastian Plano ("Purples"), the Australian pianist Sophie Hutchings ("Surrender to the Deepest Blue"), the masked German pianist Lambert ("Niort") and Australian pianist Luke Howard ("Passion / Sleep"). A certain form of melancholy mixed with cinematic sensations binds these spartan pieces together. All in all, it's a beautiful snapshot of the planet Mercury KX. © Max Dembo/Qobuz

A fine new release from this label introduced to us by Bart. Excellent sound and a very nice performance of these pieces, apparently only relatively recently discovered.





This is fantastic... for viola da gamba lovers.
I'm streaming it (24/96).

Armand-Louis Couperin - Complete Solo Harpsichord Music
Yago Mahúgo
Qobuz 24/96




Sometimes, some solo harpsichord can be quite relaxing.
I listened to the full set, which is almost 2 hours, so I guess I'm zen now...
