The stellar partnership of Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien returns with one of the most popular of all Romantic works for violin and piano. Their new release of the Vierne & Franck Violin Sonatas once again demonstrates this distinguished duo's interpretative mastery across a wide range of repertoire; a Record of the Month of rare delight. On a larger canvas, the eagerly awaited set of Tippett Symphonies Nos 3, 4 & B flat is the culmination of the complete cycle from Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra—the first to include the early work subsequently suppressed by the composer—and an absolutely unmissable purchase for anyone with any interest whatsoever in the twentieth-century symphony. These are definitive accounts of some challenging yet deeply rewarding music.

The young British group Amici Voices presents sensitive, chamber-sized performances of Bach Cantatas Nos 106 & 182 alongside the motet Komm, Jesu, komm. This is simply sublime music, the whole programme imbued with the greatest poignancy. And with a fourth volume of the Complete Dohnányi Solo Piano Music, Martin Roscoe delivers the final instalment of his much-praised series dedicated to a composer whose work is regularly championed by Hyperion. Consummate performances may, as throughout, be taken for granted.

The music of King's is a freshly recorded compendium of choral favourites—classics of the repertoire plus the odd more unexpected item. Stephen Cleobury conducts a resplendent Choir of King's College Cambridge.

Iestyn Davies and Fretwork have recorded an intriguing new album for Signum. If & other songs by Michael Nyman intertwines twenty-first-century Purcellian re-imaginings with bold new harmonies and wondrous inventions to haunt the mind. And the Carducci String Quartet sees the second release in its on-going Shostakovich String Quartets cycle, here presenting Nos 1, 2 & 7.

Solo piano music by Musorgsky, Ravel & Messiaen comes from Signum courtesy of Peter Donohoe: diverse explorations of 'pictures' in sound from a performer acclaimed as much for his musicianship and stylistic virtuosity as for his commanding technique.

New from LSO Live this month is a dramatic new recording of Berlioz's Damnation of Faust, Sir Simon Rattle marshalling the serried ranks—celestial and diabolical—of the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. A new compilation from the same stable, the orchestra this time under the baton of Bernard Haitink, brings together the Beethoven Piano Concerto No 2 & Triple Concerto, acclaimed recordings made in 2005 and 2013.

A tenth volume in David Goode's epic Complete Bach Organ Works once again showcases the Trinity Cambridge Metzler before the microphones of Signum Classics, for whom also Richard Watkins has devised a programme entitled The romantic horn which encapsulates the lyrical best of the instrument's repertoire: works by Beethoven, Schumann, Strauss and others, all warmly accompanied by Julius Drake.

Love abide & other choral works by Roxanna Panufnik brings to Signum a modern—and decidedly multicultural—choral take on the theme of love, whether religious or otherwise; the Colla Voce Singers join the London Mozart Players and others to perform. Perpetual twilight is the title of a new album from the University College Dublin Choral Scholars; conductor Desmond Earley has fashioned a programme of works new and old which draw on the rich literature of Ireland and its pivotal location at the Atlantic's wild edge.
