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.

LIVE The Mission Main Theme - Ennio Morricone

Pavane Op. 50 Gabriel Fauré

“Born from Memory” — a cinematic journey between silence and sound.
Originally written for film, this music was reborn for orchestra — one voice carried by the warmth of the piano, and another whispered through the breath of the clarinet.

Each version tells the same story through a different time:
the piano orchestration embodies timeless elegance and quiet emotion,
while the clarinet version reflects a modern pulse — alive, questioning, and intimate.

A dialogue between memory and hope.
Between what fades… and what refuses to disappear.



«وُلدت من الذاكرة» — رحلة سينمائية بين الصمت والصوت.
موسيقى وُلدت في عالم الصورة، ثم عادت للحياة بين أنفاس الأوركسترا — مرةً بدفء البيانو، ومرةً بنَفَس الكلارينيت الحديث.

كل نسخة تروي الحكاية ذاتها، بلغة زمن مختلف:
نسخة البيانو تنبض بالأناقة الكلاسيكية والعاطفة الهادئة،
فيما تُجسّد نسخة الكلارينيت نبض العصر — حيّة، متسائلة، حميمية.

إنها حوار بين الذاكرة والأمل،
بين ما تلاشى… وما لا يزال يُسمَع في الأعماق.

we lost the beast. without the beast we can not restore the order of our universe. without the music of the beast we'll slowly start to forget our history.

Records indicate the disappearance of the Beast. His absence marks the beginning of the Great Forgetting. As the resonance of his music diminishes, so too does our capacity to remember who we were.

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.

Ave Maria - Charles Gounod

This is thought by many to be the greatest piece of music ever written.  Jerry Davis completed his interpretation of the first two movements of this great symphony transcribing each note for each instrument into a MIDI sequencer within Cakewalk's Sonar X1 Producer.  The software for the instruments is East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus.

The opening of the first movement of this great symphony resembles an orchestra warming up before it bursts forth with bombastic, boastful, blissful, blasts of emphatic emphasis.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony - 1st Movement

Released by: Naxos Records 
Album Title: Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7, 'Leningrad' Catalogue number: 8.573057 Release date: April 29, 2013 Vasily Petrenko | Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Three weeks after the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Shostakovich volunteered with the Home Guard in Leningrad. As the siege of the city intensiﬁed, he worked on his Seventh Symphony, completing three movements before being forced to leave Leningrad and travel east by train. The work was completed in December that year. Initially he gave each movement a programmatic title, but later withdrew them, leaving this epic work as an emblem of heroic deﬁance in the face of conﬂict and crisis: 'I dedicate my Seventh Symphony to our struggle against fascism, to our coming victory over the enemy, to my native city, Leningrad.' Shostakovich's epic Seventh Symphony is a study in deﬁance and survival, written largely in the ruins of the besieged city in 1941. Its reputation has ﬂuctuated over the years, with its immediate post war reputation largely low. But in recent years it has taken its rightful place in Shostakovich's symphonic canon. As one of the twentieth-century's most recorded symphonists, the composer has been the subject of many recordings. The award-winning Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is the UK's oldest continuing professional symphony orchestra, dating from 1840. The dynamic young Russian, Vasily Petrenko was appointed Principal Conductor of the orchestra in September 2006 and in September 2009 became Chief Conductor.
