upcoming releases for fall 2023

Happy to announce three upcoming releases on elsewhere for the fall of 2023. This time, for a series of three, we will present three works by contemporary composers that primarily or partially use early music instruments. I am so thrilled to be able to release these fantastic musicians' works. (To be released on November 1, 2023)
