In Reverse (Polygonia Remix) by Rival Consoles, released 08 April 20261. In Reverse (Polygonia Remix)“Even before I started producing, I often listened to Rival Consoles, whose music always carried a sense of openness, quiet hope, and a deeply sentimental feeling of looking toward what lies ahead. In my remix, I tried to follow that emotion in my own language, letting the violin and the voice bring out its emotional quality while a more driving pulse rooted in my own signature moves beneath it.” - PolygoniaRival Consoles, aka Ryan Lee West, will continue to tour his latest album Landscape from Memory throughout 2026.

Bruckner: Symphony No. 9
Steeped in the Austro-German symphonic tradition, the players of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich bring beautifully blended sound to the vast span of Anton Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony. The finale of this work was unfinished at his death, but its three complete movements nonetheless make for a compelling journey. Conductor Paavo Järvi keeps a keen sense of momentum through the first movement’s solemn procession, with exquisite sensitivity from the strings in its quieter passages. That same assured pacing makes the wild swings between ferocity and playfulness in the second movement’s “Scherzo” sound entirely natural, while providing a vivid showcase for the woodwind and brass. Järvi does note allow the long “Adagio” to wallow, taking it a touch quicker than many conductors. The richness of the Tonhalle’s strings makes them the star here, and the alpine magnificence of the movement’s climactic passages ensure that, though not the symphony’s intended finale, it sounds a fitting culmination.
Solo
J.S. Bach’s sonatas and partitas for solo violin are towering masterpieces, and tend to overshadow other works written by Baroque composers for the solo instrument. In Solo, the German violinist Isabelle Faust goes hunting for these “lost” pieces, and makes intriguing discoveries. One of these is the Fantasia for Solo Violin in A Minor by Nicola Matteis Jr., whose side-shifting arpeggios Faust floats with featherlight delicacy.
