Frédéric Chopin: Complete Fantasies
Discover Chopin’s Fantasies, available from £2.99
“Alberto Nones executes Chopin’s music with restrained elegance and poise, avoiding the trappings of indulgent virtuosity or sentimentality. Instead, these performances demonstrate unencumbered fidelity to the composer’s directions; it is almost as if we can hear Chopin’s own breath between each line and phrase.” George Richford, Producer & Composer, August 2022

Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons
Featuring music performed by Keziah Thomas, available from £5.99
“Keziah Thomas’s harp transcription is beautifully played. Having just one player allows Thomas a degree of rhythmic flexibility that feels exactly right; numbers like the slow movement of “Spring” are delicious. I like the moments where everything feels stripped to its essentials. An unlikely mixture of seductive warmth and bitter cold.”

Dan Locklair: Requiem
Featuring The Choir of Royal Holloway College, available from £5.99
“This is a work, originally written with just organ accompaniment, which deserves to be heard alone and allowed to sink in. The divisi are not complex for the sake of complexity, but help suggest how nuanced and slow-turning relationships with mother and father often are, both in the private and in the sacred realm.” Brian Morton, Reviewer, ★★★★ Choir & Organ, May 2022

AT A GLANCE
“It is now eight years since I began working with Convivium Records, and these have been eight years of a fruitful and creative relationship. We have completed three full length CDs together, and I have found everyone to be fully committed and helpful in every way. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Convivium have been a total joy to work with. They combine wide industry knowledge and contacts with excellent musical judgement, an instinct for connecting people and ideas, fastidious eye for detail and a down-to-earth approach. Every part of the organisation is geared towards high quality, hence the respect in which the label is held across the musical world.”
“I have the highest respect for this ever-growing company that Adrian Green has so responsibly and diligently built. For both Dan Locklair GLORIA and, the latest, Dan Locklair REQUIEM, the performers, producers, performance spaces and recording engineers were all first-rate.”
“The quality of work here is outstanding, and Convivium Records achieve a remarkable recorded sound, with care and expertise at every stage of the project from recording to final mastering. All of our recordings with them have been a great success and the excellence of the singing was beautifully captured by the Convivium team.”
“The team at Convivium Records are a joy to work with. Their creative and adaptable approach – paired with the highest professional standards – make for excellent results. I can wholeheartedly recommend them!”
