A 202-year-old score finally gets its trio, and Arturo Sandoval hands the reins to his son May 05

Trio Bohémo — Anton Reicha: The Complete Piano Trios

Anton Reicha studied alongside Beethoven in Bonn, taught Berlioz and Liszt at the Paris Conservatoire, and wrote chamber music that essentially no one has bothered to record in full until now. These six piano trios, Op. 101, were first published in 1824; Trio Bohémo's double album — recorded in Vienna with Andrew Keener producing and Oscar Torres mastering, available in Dolby Atmos — is the first modern performance of the complete set. Two hours and thirty-four minutes of music that sits in a liminal space between late Classical form and early Romantic impulse, as though the score itself never decided which era it belonged to. Following their premiere recording of Reicha's piano concertos last year, the Czech ensemble is clearly building something systematic and necessary. Anton Reicha 是貝多芬的同班同學，但他的室內樂從來沒得到同等待遇。這六首鋼琴三重奏寫於 1820 年代，首版樂譜 1824 年印刷，然後——就沒有然後了。兩百零二年後，捷克的 Trio Bohémo 在維也納錄下了第一個完整現代版本。Andrew Keener 製作，Oscar Torres 母帶，雙碟兩個半小時，含 Dolby Atmos 版。

Arturo Sandoval — Sangú

At eighty-three, Arturo Sandoval has made forty-nine studio albums — a fact that could suggest autopilot, except that this one sounds nothing like autopilot. He handed production to his son Arturo III and daughter-in-law Melody Lisman, and what came back is driven by batá drums and Fela Kuti-scaled cyclical grooves rather than the bebop fireworks his reputation was built on. Twelve tracks in forty-two minutes, no filler, with the kind of rhythmic density that rewards repeated listening. NPR ran a feature the day after release calling it his most rooted and most fearless work — a phrase that would sound like hyperbole if the music didn't back it up. 八十三歲，第四十九張。這次的不同在於他把製作權交給了兒子 Arturo III 和兒媳 Melody Lisman。結果不是一張「晚年溫情」專輯，而是一張被 batá 鼓和 Fela Kuti 式循環驅動的、有攻擊性的融合樂。NPR 發行次日就做了專題，用了「最紮根、最無畏」這樣的詞。十二首，41 分鐘，乾脆利落。

Alejandro Falcón — Falcón in Blue

The inaugural release in Dot Time Records' "Cuban Notes" series, and it sets the tone well. Havana-based pianist Falcón treats danzón, son, rumba, and bolero not as museum pieces but as living, evolving systems — he composed all-original material in these forms for a piano-bass-drums-percussion quartet, recorded last November at Carlitos dBega Studios in Havana with Ted Nash and Roni Ben-Hur guesting from New York. The transparency of the quartet format means every breath is audible; there's nowhere to hide and no reason to. Dot Time 新企劃「Cuban Notes」第一彈。哈瓦那鋼琴家 Falcón 把 danzón、son、rumba、bolero 當作「還在進化的音樂系統」來寫——不是復古，是把傳統當活物養。去年十一月在哈瓦那 Carlitos dBega 錄完，客席有紐約的 Ted Nash 和 Roni Ben-Hur。鋼琴四重奏編制，透明乾淨，每個聲部都有空氣。

Yu Su — Foundry

The Chinese-born producer's second album moves to Sheffield's Short Span label and immediately announces its ambitions through the guest list alone: Seefeel, Memotone, and — perhaps most remarkably — Dip in the Pool, the Japanese duo whose work in the late eighties now sounds eerily prescient of everything Yu Su does. Eight tracks of spacious kosmische synths, breathy vocals, and dubby basslines that seem to emanate from a room with no walls. First Floor and Resident Advisor both flagged it immediately; they were right to. 第二張長篇，轉投 Sheffield 廠牌 Short Span。客席名單是重點：Seefeel、Memotone、Dip in the Pool。八軌，kosmische 合成器鋪底，氣聲人聲點綴，dub 低頻若有若無。Yu Su 從溫哥華到上海再到英國發片，軌跡本身就像一首緩慢展開的 ambient 長曲。

Psychobuildings — Tears Vol 1

Peter LaBier's multimedia project returns after six years of silence with seven songs written during the first pandemic year in Brooklyn — isolation, a breakup, the death of a mentor. Selected as a Bandcamp Daily Essential Release this week. The production retains a deliberate roughness, as though smoothing the edges would betray the subject matter. If you've been looking for something with Protomartyr's literary weight but more sonic adventurousness, start here. Peter LaBier 的多媒體計劃消失了六年。七首歌，寫於疫情第一年的布魯克林——孤立、分手、一位導師的離世。入選 Bandcamp Daily 本週 Essential Releases。聲音處理有種刻意的粗糙感，不是那種把悲傷當美學的作品。

SPC ECO — Moments EP

Dean Garcia — formerly of Curve, whose basslines remain some of the most recognizable in nineties British alternative — continues his prolific partnership with daughter Rose Berlin. Five tracks recorded at The Park House in April, already released for Bandcamp Friday. Garcia's low-end processing is still the signature: heavy, blurred, carrying the shadow of 4AD's golden era. Rose's vocals pull everything toward light. The project has long since outgrown any "former member's side project" framing. Dean Garcia（前 Curve）和女兒 Rose Berlin。五軌，四月錄完即放。Garcia 的低頻處理是簽名——厚重、模糊、4AD 暗影。Rose 的聲線把一切往亮處拉。Curve 的 DNA 在代際之間持續變異。

Steve Wilson — Enduring Sonance

The alto saxophonist set out to make a ballads album and quickly found the word inadequate. What he was after was a quality of lyricism that makes music resonate regardless of tempo or idiom — what he calls "enduring sonance." Renee Rosnes on piano, Joe Locke on vibes, Jay Anderson on bass, Kendrick Scott on drums, with Kevin Newton of Imani Winds guesting on French horn. The repertoire spans Billy Childs, George Cables, Michel Legrand, and Milton Nascimento — each selection a personal soundtrack to a different chapter of Wilson's life. Wilson 想做 ballads 專輯，但發現「ballad」這個詞裝不下他要的東西。他追求的是一種「共鳴的持續性」——無關速度、風格、情緒。Renee Rosnes、Joe Locke、Kendrick Scott 坐陣，選曲從 Billy Childs 跨到 Milton Nascimento。每首都是 Wilson 人生某個章節的配樂。
