AVIE Records has opened its late-summer schedule with Rhythm Nation, a new album from New York’s PUBLIQuartet that treats rhythm as a meeting place rather than a boundary. Contemporary commissions sit alongside jazz, salsa, Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican influences, electronic sound and a three-part salute to Janet Jackson’s 1989 album of the same name. The programme also draws on Kronos Quartet’s Fifty for the Future project.
The label’s autumn releases then move across strikingly different terrain. Mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski makes her solo recording debut in nineteen Schubert songs with pianist Timothy Lovelace on 21 August. Sebastian Bohren follows on 18 September with a digital EP of Magnus Lindberg’s Violin Concerto, recorded with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and Sergej Bolkhovents. October brings Elena Ruehr’s chamber collection Winter Night with the Boston Trio and violist Marcus Thompson, before Jeannette Sorrell and Apollo’s Fire close the sequence with Bach’s Mass in B minor on 23 October.
