Alexis Ffrench is renowned for his evocative solo piano work, combining a contemporary feel with classic sensibility; the embodiment of beauty and calm in an otherwise frantic world.

This new collection of works for piano and chamber strings brings with it an emotional intensity that looks set to cement Alexis' reputation as a composer of rare and contemplative beauty - with powerful contrasts, epic landscapes and, above all, timeless melodies.

The delicate, motivic interplay between parts is at times reminiscent of Fauré, while the graceful minimalism recalls more recent works, such as that of Max Richter and Clark's Black Stone from his 2012 release Iradelphic on Warp Records.

Stolen Lullabies also includes four brand new bonus arrangements of some of the highlights from his previous albums, The Secret Piano and Piano Karma, both of which were 'Albums of the Week' on Classic FM Radio and have gone on to enjoy great popularity with Classic FM listeners.

- A rarely seen side of Antonio Salieri
- World Premiere recordings of this rare repertoire
- Excellent interpretations by Annelie Sopie Müller, Ilse Eerens 
and Ulrich Eisenlohr

Antonio Salieri had long arrived at the height of his European fame as an opera composer when he began to deal with smaller forms of vocal music, including several collections of Scherzi armonici, canons, divertimenti vocali, as well as many duets and trios. 
This new recording is destined to come as a bit of a sensation to both aficionados and scholars in presenting an area of Salieri’s output that had previously been overlooked. But it’s the performer that elevates this recording in something much more than an academic curiosity!
Ilse Eerens, Annelie Sophie Müller and their experienced and sensitive accompanist Ulrich Eisenlohr create sparks with these magical little pieces. A must-have disc with NO competition in the marketplace.

This is the best arrangement I've heard so far, and it's been stuck in my head for a while. I learned this in around 1 week. Tempo may not be that stable, but I think I pretty much nailed the notes.
