Mankell: Piano Concerto & Nystroem: Concerto Ricercante
Anna Christensson (piano)
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Roberto Paternostro

Philipp Scharwenka: Chamber Music
Laurent Albrecht Breuninger (violin), Lise Berthaud (viola), Oliver Triendl (piano)

Reger: Orchestral Songs
Stefanie Iranyi (mezzo-soprano), Rainer Trost (tenor) & Paul Armin Edelmann (baritone)
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Gregor Buhl

Hanns Eisler: Deutsche Sinfonie, Op.50
