Here’s the fourth release in a Grammy-nominated Beethoven for Three series, which includes a great piece for spooky season.

Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst has released a new album of music by Johann Sebastian Bach.

The album comes from German violinist Isabelle Faust, who teams up with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, one of the leading ensembles playing on instruments from the 18th century.

This new album features composers Jordan Jinosko, Christopher Reed, Alexander Unseth, David Fogel and Daniel Fisher.

This week’s new album from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and conductor Andrew Manze features the tranquil orchestral music of two English composers who took an interest in folk songs.

In partnership with organizations around the state, the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra will be hosting concerts, exhibitions and opportunities for Holocaust education, featuring the collection of 70 instruments.

The album includes the second and fourth symphonies by William Grant Still and the “Montgomery Variations” by Margaret Bonds.

“It’s amazing to play Brahms on an instrument that was among the first to ever perform the concerto,” said Rachel Barton Pine. “It not only does everything I could possibly imagine, but it even suggests things to me that I would have never thought of.”
